Vaporwave with iOS, anyone?
Does anyone here produce vaporwave?
Which app do you use?

What precisely is vaporwave?
An obscure micro genre from around 2012.
True Vaporwave would more rely upon sampling and resampling.
So, many apps can fit the bill.
Manipulation of the samples is as deep or dark or not you want to get.
Gadget is probably all around best or Sampletank be easiest.
I would say Beat Hawk but you need a deeper synth bench.
Their are several iap for BLocs/Launchpad or in the Audiocopy store in which you can get some good loops or samples to manipulate or chop or just use if that is your thing.
Samplr would be good for that, too, or Patterning (if you wanna be simple about sampling stuff, ie. just using pitch and attack/decay).
there was a book released about Waporwave just recently

Hmmmm
"Vaporwave music can be created by anyone, alone, with a computer. No musical talent, training or inspiration is necessary, and rarely is any evident."
Damn I've been making Vaporwave all this time and never knew what it was called.
LOL me too then
So this wasn't a waste of time after all.
Geez, feels like a great day to be a vape head...............
theres literally eons worth of vaporwave at bandcamp
beatmaker 3 would be a good app to make vaporwave in...
And then just add a couple of ApeSoft apps to add some wooziness, and internet obscurity beckons!
I didn't know at all : it looks like a kind of remixes of 90's music with fluo and old computers pics.I like 90's by the way.
Enjoyed that @grego68. Thanks for sharing. The first vid was very informative.
'Vaporwave is not dead. it just smells funny"....
Much of my recent music is definitely influenced by vaporwave although the strict purists of the genre might argue it's not proper vaporwave. This was done with Gadget sub genre future funk.
It usually involves remixing/sampling corporate music from late 70s and 80s. The worse the music, the better.
Yes, sampling and resampling, pitch shifting, time stretching, and add effects.
This is the plan.
Got both Gadget and Cubasis, and also Blocs/Launchpad.
Cubasis has nice timestretch abilities, is it probably the best choice?
I admit that I don't like its UI and I never managed to learn to use it.
I like Blocs but I'm not sure if it can work for complex manipulations of sounds.
And it has no effects.
I was going to suggest Cubasis. Really any DAW with time stretching, BM3 has it too. Just use it to sample those Kmart tapes.
@MikeJDayton Digging this: bit of a Kool Keith transported vibe. If those are your vocals I think you could do a lot with them. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting material, thanks for sharing.
In Gadget you work with samples or you create your own sounds?
@Proppa Thanks, those vocals were lifted from a couple YouTube conspiracy theorists ranting.
@rumorazzi Generally I sample the vocals using Abu Daubi and then make the music sound old and distressed using effects. IM1 is also good for that 80's sound.
There you go: Vaporwave made with iOS remixing tracks made on iOS. It's a side project of Boreijko (a.k.a. Harkan), he remade tracks by other Apptronica artists on this one (including me...)

I will listen asap, but atm I'm more interested in the technical side of it:
Which apps and what workflows in order to realize this kind of tracks.
i think it's really not about the apps nor the workflows because it's about sampling and you can do that with tons of different things.
In case anyone needs inspiration for Vaporwave production, this is the goddess who sampled Diana Ross and thus created the Vaporwave national anthem as Macintosh Plus.

She goes by Vektroid now. Her entire discography is available for less than $30 on Bandcamp if that sparks your interest.
If you want some crazy plugins and crazy sample manipulation, try Igor Valisiev's Plugins.
Not a huge fan of barber beats but vapor wave is fun to listen to. If you think about it, it’s really just an expansion of that that whole Chopt and Screwed genre to other types of music than strictly RnB.
A sub-genre of vapowave I like is signalwave, also called “broken transmission.” It’s like a more ambient version of vaporwave.
As far as apps to use, any iOS daw that can time stretch and has effects. Varporwave is plunderphonics, that is to say it’s entirely sample based (or for the most parts). So you don’t need iOS synths or other instruments. It’s like creative remixing, or re-contextualization of existing music.
Daniel lopatin (oneohtrix point never) was one artist that came out of that genre but in his solo work under that name I believe he writes all of the music on real synths. I think as a vaporwave artist he called himself chuck person.
Koala for sure
