New Audio iApp?

Thursday January 1, 2004 2:49 am PST by Arnold Kim
According to a previous reliable report -- Apple is working on a completely new Application that may be due as early as MacWorld San Francisco.

A new report claims that this new application will come in the form of a consumer audio application. The new app is said to also include a large library of audio clips (~3gb altogether). The exact details of the new application are unclear.

While the report hints that this would be a consumer application, recent rumors of a pro Audio application can not be ignored. Whether this new information necessarily applies to one or the other is not yet clear.

I wonder if the audio clips will be the same ones available from Freeplay that have been offered to .Mac subscribers?

A cut down version of Sound Track? So you can make your own music for iMovie and iDVD.

Maybe this is iWrite. iWrite my own music? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but neither does "iPod."

I think I'm probably the first person to place iWrite in audio. Everyone else has placed it with text/PDA/pen.

That would be cool. Maybe they know how many people are tired of waiting for Finale 2004 for OS X.

perhaps it'll be called iTrack.

joking aside, i do not see much sense in an app like this, being a musician myself.
Perhaps Apple's answer to fruity loops etc, but still, i think programs like Logic, reason etc are far more suitable to compose music.
Then again, we'll see, it's only a page 2 rumor...

I doubt this is a composition program. More likely, if the rumor is true, this is something in the same niche as Amadeus II.

Probably a limited Soundtrack feature for the next iMovie version.

Apple really needs a Video Jukebox more than anything else that links in to a DVR. So an iBox with an Video Jukebox to keep and burn broadcast TV would be awesome. It's time to do for Video what Apple has done for Audio. Maybe we'll get a 30" TV as well.

i want something like bias deck. except uhhh... not as expensive, that's right, i want all the same features just less cost. it'll work out somehow.
but yeah, forget the library of samples and all that, i just want multi track recording in a nicely itunes integrated package. Is that what you were talking about with iTrack thing?

I really like Deck. But it's true that a less expensive option that offers fewer features but is better integrated with the iApps would be welcome, especially if it's done by Apple.

The name for this new music application? iBach! :)
