s it possible to use Professional Tools (or so called ProTools) on iPhone? The Apple is likely to think about that. Take into consideration last year. It was a lot of researches in further development of the device and the company does really takes an interest in it. Remember, that not all experimental ideas will become common products!

Now I’m sure, the dream of iPhone owners will soon become true. A very experienced programmer (called Alex) is going to perform new Pro Tools made for iPhone.

The remote is real. I plan to sell it if Apple lets me once they certify my code. I assume that will happen after they release they native software SDK in February.

To put technical things in simpler words the software is divided into three pieces:

1 the basic software on the iPhone.

2 the server or the brains.

3 the MIDI driver. It communicates with ProTools.

So here in this article we are speaking about the second level and some programs that were adapted to the special technical iPhone possibilities.

Surely on the Pro tools on the iPhone are of a low performance, but the idea is to have a local access to the server. Sever programs are suitable for any device (depends only on the machine’s possibilities and your wish). Here the thing is that Pro Tools will reduce any iPhone latency which will help you to escape from any program or user’s problems in the future.
It was proved that it is possible to control your PC or any rig with iPhone from anywhere that has Internet or EGDE. The point is that it is not a standard MIDI. The ProRemote protocol was made for Wi-Fi.

Nevertheless, I’m quite optimistic about the future of the Pro Tools of any kind and iPhone further hardware and software integration will continue.

Make music on Pro Tools iPhone controler and be ready for new experience.
