Well, actually you don't unless the app has a playback function (some have). It is rather something like:ebow wrote:so how do you jam along to the parts you already have recorded, in bm (or nano), with a standalone synth to work out parts and to choose sounds that fit with the tracks you already have ??
1) You make a drumbeat in Molten at say 130 BMP
2) You make a bassline in Horizon at 130 BMP, while you try to remember the groove of 1)
3) you import them to Nanostudio or BMII and add synths/samplers.
Then you proceed:
4) You remember the groove and go to your Crystal synth for making an evolving pad and
5) You import it and hear whether you were lucky
It is certainly not as good a workflow as in a PC daw, but it might be more fun due to the touchscreen control.
I have a little improvement to this workflow, because I simply transfer all samples that I can from other apps (BMII, Electrify, iSequence etc.) to Nanostudios directories. Then I can build the beats up mainly from Nanostudio instead of copying and pasting all the time from e.g. iSequence to NanoStudio. Of course, this will not work with standalone synths unless they are sample based, so here I have to copy and paste, but it's OK. It's worth it IMO.
