Likelihood of Serato/Traktor for iPad at NAMM?
Likelihood of Serato/Traktor for iPad at NAMM? Posted on: 19.12.2011 by Jason Mcewing I believe it's LONG overdue and could be a major reason to hold off on buying any DVS if it's true.I would expect Rane/Native Instruments to create their own soundcard for the iPad then either have the app as a free download (Rane) or as a paid download (NI). | |
| Dorie Scelzo 25.12.2011 | @scamo, I don't have a real reason to know, but it's not purely wild speculation. It was also based on a rumor that AMD was dropping x86 development in favor of ARM since they're getting slammed on desktop processors anyway. That turned out to be a false rumor, but the rest of the argument makes some sense. Again |

| Rey Holubar 28.12.2011 | Here you go. scamo |
| Tera Neis 29.12.2011 | Hey guys! Today Dj Endo posted a pic of what looks to be Traktor2 running on an iPad up on Facebook. I'm a total community noob and don't know how to embed the pic here but check out his Facebook page. Interesting stuff... |

| Rey Holubar 25.12.2011 | Ooh... I like that idea. Put a much better Controller Manager on the iPad, while Traktor is running on the computer/ laptop. That would make me have to buy an iPad and a Macbook though. Doh! Don't do it! scamo |
| Alycia Maschinot 24.12.2011 | Given the chip limitations it's unlikely we'll see anything like a straight port to iOS, but there are ways that both companies could get involved. They could produce their own dedicated controller apps to challenge TouchOSC and the like, or maybe an app that uses the iPad as an additional display, maybe to view your playlists, or edit effects/controller mappings without losing the display of your waveforms on the laptop. |
| Tashia Mcdunn 23.12.2011 | I doubt we will see anything at namm but i'm sure we will eventually see something that can run on a tablet form factor. I could see the tablet apps as limited versions (like LE) that would be used to draw attention to the flagship products that run on conventional laptops. |
| Rey Holubar 22.12.2011 | AMD works, because AMD does a good job at emulating the Intel system. scamo |

They aren't going to be changing to another CPU vendor anytime soon, as that would be an enormous cost factor and I am sure Intel will keep up the power in order to make Apple happy, much better than ARM or IBM/ Motorola could ever do. scamo |
| Dana Ordinario 21.12.2011 | I couldn't tell you as the article didn't and couldn't go into detail as I'm sure it features that are going to be posted in a future release. |
| Dorie Scelzo 21.12.2011 | @jsa, we have the same SSD. I love mine too. Have you brought yours in for service with the optibay in? Did they bat an eye? My SuperDrive is dead and I want to replace it with another SSD |
| Dana Ordinario 21.12.2011 | I'd say any kind of dj app for from NI or Serato would be about 0% shot. I would hope they have someone working on a track organizer or something similar to prep tracks. I'm currently in the process of learning iPad programming just to create a program that will show me my library and all the relevant information and an easy way to sort it all but I doubt I would actually release it on the app store though. I just wish I had a polished product that integrated with Traktor. I did read an article in Future Music from a Berlin producer/dj that made comments about his work with NI on Traktor's Loop functionality to make it more useable like Ableton. Obviously he couldn't go into any real detail but it's nice to hear that they are getting feedback from the user base and working on implementing them into Traktor. I just wish they'd leverage the iPad/iPhone more instead of running from it like the plague. |
| Rey Holubar 21.12.2011 | The 1 Ghz Dual Core A5 in an iPad2 doesn't meet the specs for either Traktor or Serato They both need Intel Chips. And the A5 chip more than likely doesn't have the necessary power either with just 1GHz. Plus, the iPad works with iOS. Both Softwares need OSX. I can't imagine either porting their software over to iOS. So, keep dreaming. scamo |
| Betsy Orsillo 20.12.2011 | upgrade to SSD!!! ... i have a 120ssd for all my music(mostly the music i play) and then a 750gb optibay for every thing else... the most you can get with the ipad is 64 |

| Dorie Scelzo 20.12.2011 | I can't imagine prepping tracks on an iPad. The iPad 2 was a lot better than the iPad 1 or my iPhone (or my old 3g or my girlfriend's 4s |
| Leeanna Ayla 19.12.2011 | I just want an app to prep tracks in Traktor, not one to DJ with. |
| Cristian Carmona 19.12.2011 | they only way i see the power issue being handled is by hooking the iPad to a Rane 57/68 USB and it powering the iPad as well. I would love to have a 64gb iPad with serato. |
| Jason Mcewing 19.12.2011 | that has nothing to do with it, you'd still have to buy the audio interface and turntables to make it work. |
| Betsy Orsillo 19.12.2011 | no, then your gonna have people downloading it and tell you they dj. people at my work know i dj and they always come up to me and show me those stupid iphone dj apps like djay, baby scratch, etc. |
| Jason Mcewing 19.12.2011 | only obstacle i see, is the power to the ipad since the audio interface would take up that connection. |
| Audrey Pinda 19.12.2011 | I highly doubt it. Really, it just doesn't seem realistic to me at all. I'd love to be wrong however. |
