Some Black Friday Perspective - Thank Your Lucky Stars You're Only Buying iPad Apps
There are sales on iPad apps all the time, but a lot of stuff for the PC only goes on sale once a year--right now.
I would prefer to buy this stuff more slowly, but there are things that are half off! And we are talking hundreds of dollars, not five dollars one way or another. So I am stressing about whether I will truly use this stuff...
Taking part in this forum led me back to making music again. And then it led me to the PC and VSTs and, especially, Kontakt instruments. Everything is so cheap in iOS that you can just buy and buy and buy, and eventually I discovered I'd somehow spent hundreds of dollars on iPad apps.
But these new virtual instruments of 2016 are incalculably better than anything I ever used before in decades of making music on my computer. More realistic. More articulations. More fun!
The iPad was like pot. It led me to the hard drugs of Kontakt. And the poorhouse?
Comments
Which is why we need Kontakt to stop messing about and develop a nicely priced IOS version. Then we can have IOS versions of Exhale and RealiVox Blue, among other wonders of the digital age.
There simply aren't enough lifetimes now...
As a further perspective…
There's almost no song you could write that is utterly solely dependent upon a particular synth, program or app, to the exclusion of any alternatives.
One of my favourites songs was written using a Juno 60 and bass guitar onto a four track tape. It had so much about it that I loved. No fancy mic preamps or studio gear. The mic was the same mic the guys used to sing live on stage.
Yes we have some great digital tech, but what made the song I liked so much back then was just good song writing talent. I have so much on my iPad that makes it seem like another world away from back in the day, all I really need is more song writing talent. Now if they had a sale for that, sell me some please
Never on sale because it's free (from a money POV). Now it surely requires a LOT of work, and maybe it's necessary to get the inspiration you need from real instruments, VSTs or IOS apps to get there.
Sometimes people can get there through hard work, but sometimes that just creates your standard sort of song writers. Some just have inate talent along with the hard work too. They become those that write great songs. Yep I can work harder, become better, but I know I will never be great however hard I try
Don't be pessimistic, you're great as your already are. However, not everyone is meant to be a superstar. The most difficult part is to accept it and not get too much frustrated, have fun with what we have (talent or technology), and maybe one day, be proud of our work. I mean, the true meaning of "making music", on IOS or not, is to have a good time and feel proud of the result, and for lots of us here, it resumes in buying apps and play with them few hours a week, as a hobby.
Nevertheless, I think Reid got a point when he says that it's maybe better to buy a single VST on sale on Black Friday, because there are real bargains out there. Maybe we get a little lured by the massive amount of IOS apps and there apparent economic price...
Yep having a good time for sure. I just mean that however we look for more apps and I do have lots (lots of fun), I would swap the pleasure of any more for just a tad more talent. Now I'm not being pessimistic, I'm quite cool with who and what I am and at my age I have no need to be famous or even be heard, yet I can say I have a good firm grasp on my limits as a song writer. I will never be a great one. It's just not in me. I may have one great song in me and will have fun chasing that one, but I'm not concerned if I find it or not, as long as the sun rises I'm happy
i have turrets of the torrents and more vst's than i can handle. actually have lost some ipad app luster because of them.
I have Realivox Blue, like a lot of Kontak libraries, I would imagine they may not work anywhere near as well on iOS (?). Their large size alone would eat up a lot of space. Also, NI sell Kontakt for a fair price (for what you get) as it is, so I can't see why they would choose to try to port it to iOS.
Debatable that one, going back to NI, Razor and Prism are pretty unique. I've worked on projects that use them exclusively as a start point for pretty much all the tracks in the project. I'm not sure of anything else that would do what they can do.
I finally got all the glitchmachines VSTs and that was good enough for me this year. Although I'm gonna have to jump on Trash 2 for $30 by Dec. 31st just so i can "go straight" on that one.
I just spent $189 on music software
Trash 2 is indeed a superdeal 70% off and probably the most interesting distortion tool on the market.
Oh man, Obscurium from Sugar Bytes is soooo good. Still on sale at $69. Just recording it straight into Blocs Wave. Absolutely love it!
A ) You're a jammy show-off. B ) Would like to hear a sliver of this goodness.
I splashed out on the anthology X upgrade bundle from eventide, $84, something I've lusted after ever since laying my hands on a h3000, now it's finally mine, well when my code come through. Cheeky monkey's tho, said upgrade from any four eventide plugs, had three of theirs only one counted, so I bought three other cheap ones in the sale, 165 bones all in, pounds sterling.
I salute you!
Alrighty then, for you, quick jammy coming up!
The Trash 2 deal is a doubly good, because the way to save big on iZotope is to own one of their products.
If you ever want to buy Neutron, it's $199. When it's discounted it's $150. But if you buy this, it will be $99.
In general, this $29 will save you $100 on a lot of their products and packages.
By the way, if you register at AudioDeluxe.com , the price will be $25. I love AudioDeluxe. There are cashback deals at Plugin Boutique too, but you need to spend $50 first.
Here you go. It is a Blocs drum loop and Obscurium layers. (I also threw in a tiny iSpark squealy sound for variety) I am amazed at Obscurium. This was about an hour and a half of noodeling a few presets. it is soooo flexible, you can mold these presets to your will so easily.

I'm trying to decide between Virtual Guitarist, and AAS Strum. Any opinions?
Damn.
I am trying VERY hard to remain iOS only. Not helping.
JohnnyGoodyear deserves the best!
Happily spent $149 upgrading Melodyne from editor 2, to studio 4.
Immediately regret spending $14.99 to buy Moog Model 15, since I can't use it on my gen1 mini. The interface is teensyweensy on my iPhone. Oh well.
Got Studio One 3 at half price and Reaktor 6 at half price both great that my Xmas spend over.
At $144, S1 V.3 Pro is definitely tempting, but my holiday music budget is spent.
Most of the songs I've made that I really like started out in Gadget, but then got filled out massively in Ableton. I love Gadget for originating stuff, but find it too restrictive and fiddly for perfecting something. I like Ableton for that.
This year I've splurged on the iZotope 2016 Mastering Bundle and Reason Synthetic Rigs 2. iZotope because I want better mastering help. And the Rigs bundle because I've been spending a lot of time in Reason lately - version 9 has hit the sweet spot for me. If the props put Reason on an iPad....
Going to polish off the weekend by grabbing Animoog though
Investment. Forget about it for now and Future You will have something they'll love the 15 on.
The presets sound great. I'm afraid this is going to be one of those apps that effects a hardware upgrade. Why did I have to go and press the buy button? LOL
So, how's that iPad Pro treating you?
I have to say it's the best bit of technology I've ever had the pleasure of owning. I know, hugely subjective, but there it is.
