Is there and ipad app that allows you to record and edit audio, but can record in the background?  This would be to record voiceover auditions/podcasts while reading a script

Hi wondering if anyone might be able to help me out.  I am an audio engineer and my wife is a voiceover artist.  We just got the ipad thinking she could record her voiceover auditions on the go, but we can't for the life of us figure out how to record audio while reading a script off of her email.
Looking for an app that:
Either can record audio while in the background (garageband cannot)
OR Import text (copy paste I guess?) to read while recording
The app needs to  be able to edit audio and export or email out an MP3 - by edit audio I mean trim, fades, and move around sections.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this?  I have been looking around the web for answers for hours and can't find any.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi-  I've done a lot of research in this area and actually am just finishing a book on this subject which will soon be in the iBookstore.
The best app is TwistedWave.  It allows easy editing and recording, and also allows you record while you are in another app (such as a script your agent sent in your email)
I recommend MiC by Apogee as your microphone, available at the Apple store.
My book which goes in depth in how to get the best sound as well as how to edit is called:
iVoiceover
Super. Simple. Recording.
I'll post here when it's live in the iBookstore!

    Trial and error.
    I wish I had a better answer for you, but that pretty much encapsulates it. There is some, but not much, good wisdom out there, but it takes a significant amount of experience to be able to recognize it. The software development community if currently afflicted with a case of copy-and-paste-itis. And the prognosis is poor.
    The solution is to be brutal to yourself and others. Focus on what you need and ignore everything else. Remember that other people have their own needs and methods and they might not be applicable to you. Apple, for example, can hire thousands of programmers, set them to coding for six months, pick the best results, and have the end-users spend their own time and monety to test it. If you don't have Apple's resources and power, think twice about adopting Apple's approach. And I am talking from a macro to a micro perspective. Apple's sample and boilerplate code is just junk. Don't assume you can't do better. You can.
    Unfortunately, all this takes time and practice. You can read popular books, but never assume that anyone knows more than you do. Maybe they do and maybe they don't. It takes time to figure that out. Just do your best, ignore the naysayers, and doubt other people even more than you doubt yourself.

    There are many apps that allow reading PDFs. GoodReader allows downloading some items. It all depends upon how the site handles the download. It also uses file sharing in iTunes.
    iBooks also reads and had file sharing.

  • HT4325 Can anyone please tell me if there is an app that allows me to control multiple speakers on my iPad, iPhone or IPod?

    Can anyone please tell me if there is an app that allows me to control multiple speakers, via multiple airport express, on my iPad, iPhone or IPod? Thanks!

    You can use the camera connection kit to connect, but there's no protocol for any sort of data or file transfer beyond properly named photos and videos. You can plug them in but they won't do anything.
    The only printing the iPad  natively supports is air print to specific printers, or printing to wifi printers with third party apps. You cannot use flash drives for data transfer (beyond the mentioned photos and videos)

    How could I put this in as a feature request? Should I try to find the existing bug in bugzilla and comment on that, or should I open a new bug? I would really love to see this happen, I think it is a worthwhile and usefult feature.
    I tried searching bugzilla for a bit but I could not find the relevant bug. If you know it, please link to it.
    Thanks!

  • Is there an ipad app that let's u save web articles as PDFs?

    Is there an ipad app that let's u save web articles as PDFs?

    The screen capture is not a good solution because most articles are longer than the screen and require scrolling. I don't know of any way to do this at present. Some web articles have a "print" option which optimizes the article's format for printing, at which point instead of printing, you can opt to save the article as a pdf. But for now, this is only doable on a desktop. Perhaps if printing becomes available for the iPad, this might work.

  • Any app that allows me to record the last few minutes of audio continuously?

    I need an app that allows me to record the last N minutes of audio continuously until I stop it.
    So, say I want it to record just the last 5 minutes of audio.
    I could potentially have it recording for hours but I don't want an audio file that is mutli hours long - I just want the last 5 minutes.
    You might ask, why I would want this ?
    Say, you're trying to record something, but you don't know exactly when it'll happen, and when it a happens, it doesn't last long enough for you to turn on the phone and start recording.

    I saw an app exactly like that in the App store months ago.
    It was for lecutres primarly.
    When opened it always "records" like to build a buffer though not really saving.  When you press record it will start really saving and can go back a ways based on options.  So a student can listen to lecture but only press the record button when wanting to save something and have it able to save back x amount of time and forward until told to stop.
    Sounds like exactly what you want.  I just don't remember what it is called.

    You can only use apps that are compatible with your dvice and ios version.
    The secons gen ipod touch can only go to 4.2.1.
    If you are running 4.2.1 then you can only use apps that require 4.2.1 or lower.
