Top ten lists ... it's what the internet was created for
![;) ;)](https://forum.loopypro.com/resources/emoji/wink.png)
I'll be honest, for the most time I be mainly re visiting old apps and delving deeper into them.
I have a bad habit of buying s new app tinkering for 20 minutes then moving on ...
![:* :*](https://forum.loopypro.com/resources/emoji/kiss.png)
Surely one cannot ignore AUM. In my world by far the most significant app in 2016.
I don't think any of those apps would make my top ten... Which would suggest it's been a good year!

None of those are in your top ten. Wow. I'd love to see what did impress you that much.
@enc Even if you only revisit old apps, I'm sure you have favourites. So please the internet by giving us your top ten!![;) ;)](https://forum.loopypro.com/resources/emoji/wink.png)
@nrgb @Nkersov I would love to see your top picks too!
@DeVlaeminck Ok so you've mentioned AUM. I'm interested in seeing the rest of your personal top picks!![:) :)](https://forum.loopypro.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Mine would be:
Addictive Pro
Korg Oddy
iWAVESTATION
PhaseMaker
AUM
Poison 202
RF-1
Shoom
AudioEFFX
ZMorsEQ
Very difficult leaving out some great 2016 apps
Especially difficult leaving out Blocs
@jakoB_haQ
OK here my top picks:
AUM
Model 15
Poison 202
Blocks Wave
AC Sabre
iSpark
DRC
Soft Drummer
Infinite Looper
Viking
If the new Korg Synths wasn't crippled by poor MIDI implementation I guess the list would contain a coupel of those.
@Fruitbat1919 @DeVlaeminck So it Seems We have some comming favourites! =D
I wanted to put Korg Oddy on the list, but went against it since I'm still not completely comfortable using it. Need more time with it. WAVESTATION to.
ZMors EQ was also on my initial list. I might have to do an individual top 10 fx apps list.
AUM
AUM
AUM
Model 15

Soft Drummer

and of course, AUM.
Quick, incredibly stupid question (so let's keep it between ourselves): I love the concept of AUM of course, but struggle with not being able to get perfect loops of what I might play. I understand that I can record something, go out to AS, cut the piece to BE a perfect loop and then go back to AUM and start layering again, but I keep thinking I'm missing some facility here. It seems clunky/flow deadening otherwise.....perhaps I am going about it in the wrong way OR maybe it is more of a 'jam machine'?
There are many apps that have impressed this year, and continue to do so. For me, the revolution has been led by AUM and Blocs Wave. Those two have made an absolutely HUGE difference to me, and the way that I work.
DM2 would be on my list if it had velocity. Without it it's pretty useless. Which is a shame as it's a very easy to use synthesis engine.

There are no stupid questions, just peeps trying to learn and asking how.
FWIW, I agree with you, and would hope the future of AUM includes some kind of perfect loop maker.
Actually I just go to Audioshare and trim the loop using the BPM snapping - it's pretty quick. But for what you're asking Loopy is a much better bet. You can of course combine Loopy and AUM.
Thanks. Yep, I'm missing something here, but I suspect it's based on preferred practices etc. I see the elegance of AUM, but don't really get why one wouldn't choose to use a Auria/Cubasis directly which, beyond tools, just seems far more obvious/visual a way to develop tracks BUT I am not much of a (musical) noodler and perhaps AUM is freeing for those who are. Bit jealous actually![:) :)](https://forum.loopypro.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Right - I don't use AUM to develop tracks, I use Auria for that. I use AUM to develop initial ideas, musical phrases, melodies, beats, etc... The fact that it has Link for example means that if I have a musical part recorded as a loop it's much easier to find beats to fit using Soft/Funk Drummer because it is locked to the music, unlike in Auria (for example).
You can even create the drums for a full track this way, just export the drumless track and use AUM to sync the drums.
In no particular order ...
Gadget
Cubasis
Imini
Sunrizer
Multitrack daw
Synth master player
Funk box
Audiobus
Personally I hardly use AUM. While a lot of people praise the app for it's stability I have problems using more than one IAA app on my 5S. Not a 2016 top ten app for me.
Lightbulb finally turns on.
Also because AUM is quite lightweight it's much easier to add things to tracks compared to Auria where you might have a project chock full of plugins etc... Just export the relevant section where you are thinking a bit of Bassoon or Tuba would be a nice complement, and do the recording in AUM.
Uusually it's fine to record in Auria at the early stages, but once you've added 25 plugins and set the latency to 4096 it becomes a little more tricky. So rather than turning everything off in Auria to do five minutes of recording, it's less hassle to just export 4 bars of music and record your new part in AUM.
Not to mention that -to me- AUM is at the moment the reference AU host. It's the only host out there that really gets (almost) everything right.
(My only AU-niggle with it is that it allows AU windows to be scalable, which is against Apple's recommendations and can be a right pain from a developer's point of view. Please, host makers, do not introduce 'AU GUI size fragmentation' lest you want to make polished AU design completely impossible.)
No, no...I finally get its possible place in the procession. Had my arse about horse bolted etc. Thanks for getting me looking in the right direction.
Exactly. This is where the unfettered, long and rambling ideas unfurl. THEN you can send to AudioShare and chop and drop into your DAW of choice.
Although you wish there was SOME kind of step to avoid having to chop a loop in AudioShare.... Is there not some way to send a track to another bus, enable THAT track, record the loop, and have it play back in its File Player? And then jam on that?
Also, Ruismaker is kind of pointless in AUM, unless I'm missing something.
