iPad Multitrackers

vjay for iPad

 

vjay is an app that allows you to creatively bring together audio and video clips to create an authentic media experience.  You can create your own music videos, mash up different songs, and more.

 

It comes with a wealth of features like the ability to loop, cue, and slice audio and video; real time effects; customized video transitions; Video scratch; Auto Gain; Auto Sync, and Beat Matching.

 

While vjay is a feature-laden, innovative app for the iPad, it also has some kinks that need to be worked out.  Most notable, is the fact is doesn’t handle 1080HD.

 

With that being said, this is still a revolutionary app for the iPad.  Algoriddim has clearly put a lot of time into creating it, so we’re confident that updates will bring many welcomed additions and improvements.

 

It’s on sale for $9.99, but we’re not sure how long the sale will last.

SampleTank Comes To iPad

 

I first bought SampleTank (the desktop version) about 3 years ago.  It was a solid workstation back then, so I was excited to hear it was making its way into iOS.  After getting some experience with the app, what stood out the most are the quality of the sounds and the amount of sounds it comes with.  You’ll get 136 instruments with the opportunity to expand with additional purchases.  These expansions are reasonably priced at $4.99 and compliment the program nicely.
