Gadget audio companion app
what app do you use to run your audiotracks alongside Gadget? how do you sync them - MIDI or Link?
Comments
Blocs Wave using Link. Also, I like to use AUM to pipe Gadget into Blocs so I can process Gadget bits with external FX and chop them up in Blocs. I know it is not ideal for a lot of people (would not work well for typical multitrack vocals etc) but for my audio collage workflow it all ends up going to a laptop daw anyway. I love it.
AUM is perfect for that
Audiobus into AUM, Auria Pro, or Cubasis. The AudioBus global transport, with Link enabled, plus easy app switching is killer. I tend to use AUM as the destination when just noodling, then move to Auria if things seem to be going somewhere.
What @AudioGus said
Blocs is great. Loopy works well too
I forgot to mention Group the Loop is great too. It has the basic necessary FX should you wish to reduce and minimize your work flow.
AUM for just screwing around with Gadget. MTS for other occasions.
BeatMaker 2 as clock master with Gadget the slave. BM2 is the IAA Host and Gadget an IAA Generator Node. Gadget even starts and stops with BeatMaker 2's Transport. I do wish Gadget had an in app IAA Transport panel but it works pretty well as is.
Kind of backwards, perhaps, but I create all my Gadget tracks and then Audiocopy/paste tracks into Auria. Works a treat, but would work even treatier if Bilbao and Gladstone had solo/mute buttons.
Preserving drum stems would be a LOT less tedious. But at least they have solo buttons for London.
Ditto here.
We are the backwards men
We are the gadget men
Leaning together
Headphones filled with straw. Alas.
There's an easier way, from Gadget you can save the stems all in one go to Dropbox, then you can import them all in one go to Auria, each to a new track. When you go to import file in Auria just select multiple files from your Dropbox and set the option to import each file to a new track with the little plus sign.
Can't do much about drum stems though, but I've got used to having the drums on a single stereo track. Pro-MB allows for all the sound shaping you need from there.
good recommendations but i'm more into record some guitar chords and let them play in loop and then go to Gadget and build some drums and bass lines.
If you can fit your loops into Abu Dhabi (if they're less than 10 seconds) you can do it that way, otherwise you will need to sync AUM with Gadget via Link and Audiobus, which is doable but clunky IMO.
Kinda why I rarely use Gadget, I find it much easier to add bass and drums in GarageBand.
sounds like you're looking for a looper. Group the loop was recommended. Loopy is loved.
Wait, what?? I had no idea that you could run gadget as an IAA Generator. This sounds like a sort of brilliant set up.
yah, Gadget slaves great to Cubasis and pipes right in via IAA
I believe it's just me, me, me, but these days when I export 'all tracks' to Dropbox, Gadget crashes. Quite annoying...
Check out Loopy.

Here's how to get an IAA Generator going in Cubasis:
Cubasis and IAA Generators
Some IAAs don't fully follow the IAA spec as they were designed specifically for AudioBus but since AB joined the IAA protocol they will work as IAA Generators. Unlike other IAA Host, Cubasis handles IAA Generators differently than IAA Instruments. For IAA Generators in Cubasis:
1) create an audio track
2) click on routing
3) click on mono input
4) change it to "inter-app"
5) choose your IAA Generator from this list (If your IAA Generator does not load, you'll need to start the IAA Generator app first then select from Cubasis)
6) create a new MIDI track
7) click on routing
8) point it to your instrument
9) also set the MIDI track instrument to no instrument
(Otherwise you will hear both the Cubasis piano and your IAA)
Love this idea !!
This is basically my method too - on the rare occasion I need to stray outside Gadget. (Although I go via Dropbox rather than audio copy/paste)
It's a bit back and forth. But it works ok. And you don't need to faff around syncing.
Thanks @philowerx
I just had an wow moment. Why haven't I been doing this?? Perfect duo, instead of getting everything in blocs I can just do my sampling stuff in blocs and synth and drums in gadget. Also because both do ableton export it can all be exported over to my DAW.
I run an old ipad3 into a korg microsampler then into a focusrite interface then in to iPad mini2. I find it hard to change up a track or evolve it because everything is static when sampled, but using gadget linked would make it all much more dynamic..
iPad Pro could be a good buy soon, replace the ipad3 with the mini2 and beef up the whole system
Plus I could also plug my arturia Keystep into the focusrite to use with gadget
It's posts like these that are almost taken word for word directly out of my own brain that make me feel a little better about all of the voices I hear.
