Steps to maximize ipad mini for recording.

[vejichan]

What are some ways to maximize the efficiency and capacity of my ipad mini so it will run smoothly and fast when recording. I have deleted everything on my ipad mini... I'm only using my ipad mini to record and make music. I have jamup/overloud/ audiobus/ amplitube/ampkit/drumbeat / drum loops hd and all inapp stuff for all those apps.

Here are some general tips:

Close all background apps. Double-tap on the home button, and if you see anything in the list, swipe it upwards if on iOS7, or tap hold and press X if on iOS6. Even apps like Safari, App Store, Settings, etc will take a lot of memory, so make sure they're all closed.

Also:

1. Make sure your project's sample rate is 44100.
2. Make sure 64-bit mixer mode is OFF
3. Make sure Audiobus mode is disabled

A hard reset can help sometimes if you're experiencing trouble: Hold down the home button and the power button, keep holding past the red shut down slider, let go when you see the Apple logo.

Best,

I don't know enough specifics to say it definitely helps, but it probably doesn't hurt to go into Airplane mode when tracking/mixing.
