Best Gadget workflow for covering a song?
I'm using Gadget to create a cover of a song, but I'm finding it a bit of a pain as there are no audio tracks to throw the original on for reference (as I would do in a normal DAW).
Currently I'm just flipping to Youtube, listening a bit and then flipping back to Gadget, etc. I thought about breaking up the song into pieces and loading them in Bilbao, but that seems like even more of a pain to me.
Any idea how i can make this process smoother?

On iPhone or iPad ?
On iPad load the song to Auria and sync up gadget. On iPhone I'm still learning.
Count out the measures for the intro, verses, chorus, bridge, etc. and write down the structure on a piece of paper. Then it will be obvious how to structure the Gadget scenes.
I'd work out the bits outside of gadget like @bigcatrik says and then put it together in Gadget once you know what's what.
If you have Auria, BM2 or Cubasis, you could import the original track and then send MIDI from there to Gadget. Honestly, doing something intentionally linear sounds easier to do in one of those apps anyway.
I don't use Gadget but when I'm transcribing a tune by ear (onto ipad)I have it loaded into Anytune on my phone. I gave up trying to do it all on iPad. Anytune is the bee's nuts, highly recommended.
Thanks for the suggestions!
I'm working in Gadget because the gadgets available happen to suit the song well, and it saves me having to load up a bunch of different synths in a DAW trying to find the right sounds. I could drive Gadget via MIDI though, good point, although I'd prefer to just stay within gadget to keep things simple.
I think I'll start with using a secondary device for transcribing the song; doing it all on my iPad is a nice idea but not very practical in this case (with Gadget at least).
Secondary device, that's how I do it. If I'm creating a cover of something in Gadget, I get whatever I can together in Logic, then use the Score editor to display it.
Load the original track in aum file player or blocs wave, use link between Aum and gadget, add a scene at the start of your gadget track of say 2 bars with kick or click on each beat to use as count in.
Blocs wave is better because you can loop parts as needed.
Start gadget, swap to aum start file player once 8 th click or kick has sounded.
Exactly what I do SirupCore...
PS : and thanks for referencing the 3 available solutions (why limit the answer to Auria when you have 2 better/more stable and less expensive apps available?).
