Beatmaker from Intua

Lordie… this is the day my apple-touting friends have been waiting for… the day i eat my hat, as promised. So i’ve been secretly waiting for ONE THING to happen before jumping on the smartphone bandwagon… i’ve been waiting for a professional music production app to come out that fulfills the following list of demands.

1) must let me write beats on-the-go
2) must work on a device that doesn’t require me to purchase a monthly data plan
3) must let me EXPORT MIDI FILES so i can slap them into ableton live when i get home.

Looks like the wait is over. Since i haven’t been staying on top of all the latest iNews, it took me by surprise too. A gentleman who walked into the LoveTech booth at Yuri’s Night started talking to me about production techniques and i mentioned that i was holding out this full-featured dream-app to come out… and he pulled out his iPhone and introduced me to Beatmaker for Intua.

Looks pretty juicy! So i’m putting the iPod Touch on my wishlist. My coworker here warns “this will be your gateway apple product to buying more apple products..then steve jobs will control your life”

Maybe so… but i can at least continue my lifestyle of “late-adopter / cheapskate” by getting a used Touch and not an iPad. I like my Kool Aid in controlled doses.
