The Road to Macworld takes a musical turn as we talk to Andrea Pejrolo, Assistant Chair – Contemporary Writing Department Berklee College of Music, and he briefs us about all of his activities at the show. His first session, Keep it “Reel†– How to Use Your iPad to Multi-Track Record, Produce and Mix Your Live Band, will focus on the iPad as not just a live-event recorder, but also a mobile production studio. Andrea will talk about hardware, apps and techniques that will let you do everything on-site. Andrea crank it up with “Put It Up to Eleven†– Creative Sequencing and Production Techniques with Logic Pro X, taking a look at the latest version of Apple’s powerful audio software. Finally, Andrea will be part of the Macworld/iWorld RapidFire, where he will show his DIY Arduino-powered nunchuk baton. (No, really.)
