How to import songs in to Final Touch on iPad

How to import songs in to Final Touch on iPad (Part 2)

In the second video in my 8 part series covering how to master using the Final Touch app on iPad, I show you how to import songs in to your Final Touch project.

Final Touch is a mastering application made by Positive Grid, which provides a comprehensive suite of mastering plugins which enable you to master your songs using just your iPad.

Importing options for Final Touch include iTunes, Dropbox, FTP, File Sharing, Audio Paste and AudioShare.

In this video, I show how to use the most common import options, focusing specifically on Dropbox, iTunes File Sharing and AudioShare.

You can also share directly to Final Touch from GarageBand and many other iPad applications.

Unfortunately, Final Touch does not currently support integration with the “Files” app in iOS 11 or iOS 12.

USB Drive for iPhone and iPad – SanDisk iXpand

February 12, 2019 Pete Johns Leave a comment

Looking to pick up a USB flash drive for your iPhone or iPad? – http://studiolivetoday.com/usb

USB Drive for iPhone and iPad – SanDisk iXpand

Can you use a USB flash drive with an iPhone using the lightning to USB adapter? No, unfortunately you can’t, so the alternative is an iOS compatible USB drive like the SanDisk iXpand.

Apple’s iOS operating system does not support a standard USB flash drive as it doesn’t allow for file structures outside of its own “Files” app integration. This means that to transfer files, you need to use a device which includes its own app which is used to transfer files to and from the device.

In this video, I show you how the SanDisk iXpand works, and demonstrate how to copy any type of files to and from your iPhone or iPad and a PC running Windows. If you’re using a Mac, no problems, the flash drive is also compatible with Mac via USB.
