Hi all,

Just a thought here. I finally broke down and bought an iPad. I must say I am very impressed so far. Ironically, I bought a $700.00-something device to use a $5.00 app: Garage Band.  I'm not a mac user so I've never used the full-blown version of GB, but the iPad app is awesome.  The only drawback is you can't export your tracks in midi format.  (yes, there are other things lacking but this IS a $5.00 app running on a mobile device afterall). The user world is screaming for the midi format so maybe that will come in time.  So, what would be really cool is a similar app from CW! And, let it export in midi or at least save as a CW bundle so you can import it into Sonar as a project.  (GB exports tracks as MP4 which Sonar doesn't read. You have to convert it to a wav or an mp3 to get it in but that's really not too big a deal.) 

Thoughts anyone, especially any CW developers out there

If you want to export to midi, FL Studio Mobile can do that. It's a bit more expensive, but it's quite good. It is a first version, so some stuff isn't in it (yet), but will be later. (such as sampling).

That's like painting your house through the letterbox.

Cakewalk has been pretty adamant that they will continue to focus on the PC platform only (for Sonar at least).  Not sure about all the reasons, but I'm guessing the iOS/Mac market is already pretty full??

I'd like the ability to import and/or export GarageBand files off of the iPad. The iPad is a neat little portable sketch pad...

To those interested, I have run "Teamviewer" from my netbook, controlling Sonar`s parameters.
Team Viewer is FREE and does an excellent job of remote desktop made easy.
I used a wireless headphone setup to get Audio where ever I was in my home.
There are internet audio streaming apps I have yet to try, my intent was to setup the main DAW at home,
but to stream audio anywhere I was on the road to my netbook or "tablet" PC.
 Even though it seems this is in the early stages,
it won`t be long before we all plug into any terminal, and run Sonar ( or any app) remotely.
 If you have not discovered TeamViewer yet, I recommend it!

Great link fella.
 
You may have just solved how I control sonar when I'm self-recording my vocals in the next room with something wireless, small, light-weight but quite a flexible interface.
 
Ta!

Yup, worked for my solo recording needs, quite well.
being mostly a singer, this works great in the vocal booth.
The home wireless network is sweet for this.
Have fun!

Perhaps so, but Cakewalk can never make Sonar #1 in DAW no matter how good the product, until it is cross platform..

Neyrinck has a nice app that fully controls Sonar.  Expensive but works great.  Are there any apps that record in a format that Sonar understands without converting?  Thanks!
