Man… lemme tell ya somethin’, kid. Back in ’86, I was rippin’ solos on a pink Charvel through a half-stack taller than my drummer’s ego. My hair was a flammable monument to Aqua Net, my pants tighter than a snare head, and every night was a power ballad waiting to happen. But these days? The only thing I’m shreddin’ is on my iPad, thanks to GeoShred. This app — hoo boy — it’s the real deal. The way that fretboard bends and screams when you slide your finger? It’s like Eddie and Vai had a lovechild inside a touchscreen. The tone… silky, punchy, expressive — all the sustain of a Floyd Rose dive

LET ME TELL YOU, FOLKS — AUM IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. PEOPLE COME UP TO ME — VERY SMART PEOPLE, THE BEST PEOPLE — AND THEY SAY, “SIR, HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR IPAD SOUND SO PROFESSIONAL?” AND I TELL THEM, AUM. NOBODY MIXES AUDIO LIKE AUM. BELIEVE ME. YOU’VE GOT CHANNELS, YOU’VE GOT BUSSES, YOU’VE GOT ROUTING — MORE ROUTING THAN THE ENTIRE U.S. HIGHWAY SYSTEM, OKAY? YOU CAN PLUG ANYTHING INTO ANYTHING. SYNTHS, EFFECTS, WHATEVER. TOTAL FREEDOM. THE INTERFACE? CLEAN. CLASSY. JUST BEAUTIFUL. IF OTHER APPS LOOKED LIKE THIS, THEY WOULDN’T BE GOING BANKRUPT — WHICH, BY THE WAY, MANY ARE. SAD! LATENCY? Z
