Is TypeDrawing 3.0 Your Type Of Drawing App? TypeDrawing, a unique app for iPhone and iPad, has just received a major update. It’s now proudly set at version 3.0. One of our keen readers, Rich, kindly informed us about the update to TypeDrawing. “I’ve had this since the day it launched,” he added, “it’s one of my keepers, as I’m a fan of typography and nothing else does what it does.” Indeed, TypeDrawing is one-of-a-kind. There’s nothing quite like it in the App Store in that it’s the only iOS app that allows for, as its name suggests, typography-driven drawing. TypeDrawing 3.0 is a huge improvement over the app’s previous version. If you can’t see the video embedded above, please click here. Drawings in TypeDrawing are now saved automatically in the app’s gallery. While you’re in the process of drawing something in TypeDrawing, a lot of new text, font, and color options are now at your disposal.

How to create 'flip books' on your iPad with new app A new app for iPad lets kids — and kids at heart — create ‘flip book’ animations on their touchscreen tablet. Creating “flip books” is a fun pastime for kids – drawing on every sheet of a pad of paper and making your doodles come to life by flipping quickly from the first page to the last – and now this animation technique has gone digital with FlipBook HD for iPad. That’s right, your fingers can remain ink-free, and you might just save a few trees in the process. While it’s a tad confusing to get started – even with its built-in Help menu – once you get the hang of it, FlipBook HD is an enjoyable and powerful animation app, even for those whose talent is limited to stick figure drawings. The idea behind the FlipBook HD app ($4.99) is straightforward: By using your fingertip or stylus pen on the 9.7-inch touchscreen, you can create digital flipbooks and share them with friends and family.
Teaching Piano with iPad | teachingwithipad I teach piano on the side in the evenings. I am beginning to use the iPad to teach, instead of the traditional paper that we all grew up using. It’s true that the notes are quite small, but is it ever convenient! I am able to also annotate the files like Piano teachers would usually do with pen: Now, instead of using countless pages, some students who already own iPads can share my files with through a shared Dropbox folder. Have any of you tried the iPad with music teaching and/or performing? Like this: Like Loading...

iPad - tablette - enseigner la musique/Teach Music Using iPads What happens when you take a classroom of students, add 24 iPads as well as sound recording gear and then throw in a live band? A pretty catchy song that gives you hope for the future of music in the digital age. Sounding like a professionally recorded and mixed track, Neil Johnston of Store Van Music (UK), created the song in a british classroom as you can see in the video below. The song has gotten so much acclaim that it’s actually now on sale at iTunes ( iTunes link ). [FYI: Neil contacted Edudemic to let everyone know about the new experiment and how it's helping students with their music, rhythm, and learning. Store Van Music is actually starting a tour where they’ll go to schools in the UK and help the students create outstanding music using iPads and their minds. Their stated goal is to put a stop to the 80% dropout rate of students in the musical arts. Get It In Your School Store Van Music is planning a US tour of the northeast in November and a southwest tour in January.
Weotta Go: An iPhone App That Suggests Activities For Right Now Here’s an iPhone app for those moments when you’re wondering, “Okay, I’ve got some free time right now — what should I do?” Weotta Go is actually the latest product from Weotta, a startup that launched at TechCrunch Disrupt last year. At the time, the company had built a website that helped people make plans, such as figuring out where to eat dinner tonight. The iPhone app, on the other hand, is more focused on spontaneity — say you’re at work and want to find somewhere nearby to grab a sandwich, or you’ve just met up with some friends and don’t know where to head next. So when you open up Weotta Go, the results are tailored to the time and location. Even better, the app changes the results on-the-fly. Wernick says Weotta Go is built on top of the same platform that powers the company’s earlier products. The app also offers integrations with other services, like purchasing tickets from StubHub for a sporting event or from Fandango for a movie. You can download Weotta Go here.
Open Ambience Project &SHEPPi& Free Spatial Enhancer Last modification: 01/19/08 19:26 Dallas' Gear REVIEW K-Stereo Ambience Processor vs. "SHEPPi" Free Spatial Enhancer "K-Stereo is a process that literally extracts the inherent ambience, space and depth in a recording and allows you to manipulate it... Let's be clear on something - I love Bob Katz. (Note to self - Is Bob planning to take over the best practices in the mastering world and label them all "K" something-or-other? In the audio world, we work from a fixed menu of ingredients beginning with Volume, Frequency and Time, working its way down into such specifics as delay, reverb, phase, modulation and distortion before hitting the general weirdness of psychoacoustic principles like masking, combination tones, Fletcher-Munson curves, HRTF plots and precedence effects. K-Stereo was something different, though. What SHEPPi describes is this. Open Ambience Project's SHEPPi Spatial Enhancer plugin (VST, Windows) does all of this. How close is this implementation to the real thing?
