The iPad has become an incredible tool for musicians who wish to quickly and confidently record and produce live music on their tablet. Recently, I had the opportunity to produce and record a session for Ella Joy Meir (http://www.ellajoymeir.com), using just my iPad, software, and recording accessories. Last week, I covered when you might want to use an iPad and what you need to get started (http://www.macworld.com/article/2459651/keep-it-reel-make-your-ipad-into-a-professional-recording-studio.html); now, let’s talk about the actual recording and post-production process.</p><h2>Recording, editing, and mixing</h2>

There are two versions of the Auria app: one that allows you to record up to 24 tracks (Auria LE (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/auria-le/id585683569?mt=8), $25) and a more powerful version that can record up to 48 audio tracks (Auria (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/auria/id524122834?mt=8), $50). Auria’s touch interface is excellent: I really believe that using your fingers to trim, fade, cut, copy, and paste the audio regions is the easiest way to edit audio; it removes most of the layers (keyboard, mouse, and control surface) that stand between me and the music when I use more traditional computer-based recording systems. In my experience, the touch interface also makes editing a much speedier task. Another big advantage of Auria is that it offers many of the mixing features usually available only on a computer-based platform, including plug-ins (available via in-app purchase).</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2459953/keep-it-reel-record-mix-and-release-a-professional-recording-on-your-ipad.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
