iPad DJ Rana Sobhany Shares Her Favorite Apps

If you've ever wondered what it takes to be an iPad DJ, it might be best to start with the right apps. We met up with the world's first iPad DJ, Rana Sobhany, to find out what apps it takes to make the kind of electronica, drum and bass, and dub step beats she churns out with her favorite iDevice. Check out the video below as she demoes four of her favorite music-making apps that she uses in her own live shows, and then head on over to the App Store to start creating your own tunes.

Hopefully the video isn't too shaky from all that dancing and grooving we were doing behind the camera.

I'm finding it really hard to understand why Rana is getting so many negative comments regards what she is doing? I've been writing and performing electronic music for over 30 years and have seen so many changes I moved away from music for a while cause I lost the fun side of it.... But I'm now working with my iPad as a production tool to writing very simple but effective electronic music and I can say I'm having FUN again :-) is this not what it's all about ?

Ok, why on earth would anyone go to see you "Spin" when all you're doing is playing loops and sounds from apps any of us can download and play. Honey, you are not a dj.

I really don't get what's the point, she's just using loops created by other people. Her only achievement ever is to hit "Play"
