Um...hello?
 
Where is the Android hardware and software for multitrack recording/mixing/mastering?
 
There's huge bucks on the line here, and it looks like Andriod,  the would be pretender to the throne has slunk away, tail between legs, to let Apple own the entire tablet market for audio processing.
 
How we gonna a fix this?
 
Who do you know?
 
Who can you call?
 
Way past time to light a fire under these folks.
 
They'll thank us for it later, but for now...game on.
 
Whatever it takes.
 
Crowbars, sledgehammers, compromising video, hostages, Chocolate Bugles...we're gonna have to play catch up ball here and nice guys finish last.
 
Hit em twice...good cop, bad cop.
 
No Mercy!
 
 

Who can you call?

Ghostbusters. 


Seriously, Android devices and iPads aren't a powerful enough platform for serious audio recording. They are glorified toys. Most of the apps have little depth to them. If you want a little app that can do one thing like move a few faders or display a piano keyboard that you can dink one note at a time on it, that's about as much as you can expect. Until they come of age, I'm keeping my desktop. 

Aright, I'll buy what ur sayin...Galaxy 4s coming out with an 8 core processor runnin at 1.6/1.2..but 2 gigs of ram ain't gonna open many Ozones...but what about the G5? G12?

Right now...we have a celebration when my roommates 2 year old falls out at night...and this kid GETS hard rock... she's jammin with me to Anastasia ON THE BEAT.

I need a headphone amp for the Travel guitar in my bedroom where she can't hear string and fret noise...it'd be really nice if I could balance my axe with an MP3 or two...lil bit of Amplitube standalone...or the headphone outs on my MiniMarshall...other times I might wanna just work on timing with a basic drum machine....still others I could lay down ideas with a 4 or 8 track recorder, and it's really a waste of time if those tracks can't be synced to a click in one of the real studios without a bunch of mouse clicking that kills the vibe.

My G3 is running all of these...Electrum, JT4, Aubade...hell I wanna jam with Jet Audio Plus...the 20 band EQ and Hall verb sound great on everything I plug em into, even JVC miniphones.

I could spend a grand on shelf clogging boxes and 6 way outlets and still not get the summed capabilities of what the phone I carry everywhere already does.

All I need is a mini interface, driver, and some software that integrates timecode, drums, a couple/five audio tracks and a bass synth if somebody's feeling adventurous, and I can work 24/7 wherever the mood without waking up screaming demons...

...AND...

...tag little snippets at the clubs...

...AND...drop it into Sonar to flesh it out...


AND...

when the G26 comes out...

.we won't have to choose tween slurpin Apple tit and jailbreaking warranties...

...on an OPEN PLATFORM.

C'mon guys...let's rock!

Andriod is neck n neck w Apple in the smartphone market, and the open platform is going to sing the song.

Apple and Windows are going down...and when they do...

we're going to be out in the cold...

OR...

...not even notice.

There's some bucks in this for a smart guy.

If I remember correctly, the issue was that latency on Android was too much of a problem for developers until recently. But it seems to be starting, slowly.

Andriod is neck n neck w Apple in the smartphone market

Actually, Android outnumbers iOS phones by a large margin, almost 2:1.


But this has nothing to do with X1/X2 or SONAR. Should be tossed down the chute to the CH, and let bapu deal with it down there.

The trouble with this figure is that most of those Android phones are the cheap low end ones that don't have the processing power to do anything useful. That's why Android outsells iPhone...because there are so many of them, and there are models available that are extremely cheap. 

Good point.
