Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.
Download on the App StoreAudiobus is the app that makes the rest of your setup better.
Imagine you have the power to bring back one band or musician, who would you choose?

The band or artist can also be one that doesn't make/release music anymore.

Jeff Buckley. Too soon
Hendrix
Frank Zappa
Clifford Brown.
Sublime
Phil Lynott.
Maybe the biggest "what if?" would be John Lennon. But Ottis Redding and Buddy Holly are also strong candidates.
My grandfather.
Cliff Burton
Jason Becker's full abilities
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The what if for those three, in my imagination, goes like this:
Lennon: Wounded by would-be assassin. Saved by Yoko, who dies in act. Reforms The Beatles for Live Aid. Band eventually make one triple album, ‘Days of Our Lives.’
Redding: Misses flight. Goes on to global stardom. Ends career as president of Stax, which has grown to rival Motown.
Holly: Only survivor of plane crash, barely hurt at all. Puts this down to divine intervention. Divides career between rock and religion. Eventually runs for political office.
You beat me to it - it would be a blast to see what he made of 12-tone, minimalism and Moog model15
George Harrison
New Kids On The Block
Care to tell us more? Interested.
La Lupe
Freddie Mercury
Lol.......please never......ever.....again.
Otis Redding is at the top of my "too soon" list. Never even heard the final mix of Dock of the Bay!
I could also handle another 3-4 MBV records.
I'd settle for Alan Wilder rejoining Depeche Mode though.
He was French Canadian / First Nations. Left home when he was twelve and worked in a lumber mill and an asbestos mine. Did a stint as a log rider. Eventually worked as a caretaker in the school system then decided in the 60s to move to the country and live off the land, which he did for about twenty years. I loved going fishing with him. Whenever I hear fiddle music I get misty eyed and wish I was old enough to have recorded him. Thankfully there are recordings of my Uncle Gus, who my forum alias is named after.
Mark E Smith.

See, we don’t get to do stuff like that in the UK. Sounds exciting and incredibly macho.
My grandfather, I discovered only after my dad passed away, was a leading Druid.
Kurt Cobain
YES, one of my songwriting heroes.
Audioslave
This
Their hiatus was only 1995-2007, and they’re apparently still touring and releasing new material. I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that tough-ass Danny Reagan (Blue Bloods) is played by one of the “New Kids” dorks.
Ronnie James Dio...
I'd like to say Bowie but really I've always wondered what society would be like with a healthy john Lennon added
I am pretty sure those days are over. The closest I ever got to seeing it was this video.

woah, that sounds cool... but my frame of reference is limited to World of Warcraft with such things.
