Sounds amazing. I'll be buying right away. I already bought Looptastic and the rest of their apps.

I bought the app and it is pretty incredible, but it is not perfect - has some bugs that turn off the ability to play the decks and sounds in general. It requires a hard reboot to fix.

Usually this happens when you are playing a deck, looptastic and the drum module and want to change a song in another deck (the one not playing at the moment). When you do, it does not calculate bpm (tempo stuck at 0), no waveform shows up and it will not play - no functions work on that deck. It does not matter if you delete the deck, project or close it down by pressing the home button.

Also, if you try to load another song into the other deck (I load in two decks, a looptastic module and drum machine), same thing now happens. As I mentioned this is remedied only by rebooting.

I have a iPad2 and utilize the camera port adapter in conjunction with a powered hub and a Presonus Audiobox (which I will use for audio output/input, etc).

This must be totally brand new because I can find no instructional manual, help file or forum section for this software.

I do hope they investigate and find and squash these bugs because if they do, this could be the most revolutionary mobile DJ software ever made.

Small correction:

When NOT attached to external hardware via the camera attachment, it works as advertised for quite a while, but eventually does the same thing after enough time.

It looks good, but I'm hoping now it's out of the way they'll spend some time reworking their file management in their StudioHD - at the moment it's practically unusable with your own loops as any more than a dozen loops makes it impossible to find anything.

Thanks for checking it out AND the feedback. It is a very new app. It crashed on me a couple times too and I did have to hard boot once. I'm certain they will work out the bugs over time though.

Looks really good. Shame to read about the bugs but if these get ironed out then this one will be a must buy me thinks

Nature of the beast with any new software app. Always some bugs at first.
