What sort of essential apps are missing from the market?

@brambos @midiSequencer I knew you guys would work it out

@d4d0ug Glad my video helped. Reslice has some nice features.

Someone needs to take the Simpler instrument from Ableton and turn it into an App. We have apps like Reslice that can chop things up and the new sampling gadget seems nice.

I would want one that could be an AUv3 but also in standalone mode, act as a host for IAA, audiobus, AU, so I can bring the app up, load up a synth, record a sample, then quicky chop it up or pitch it across the keyboard. Save it as a preset, then bring it into AUM as an AUv3.

OK here’s a good one. A streaming internet radio app. Like Ström. But AU. And it goes out and finds the channels for you. And you can filter by genre/location/bitrate.

An IAA and AU Freezer, load a synth and then freeze it down to a user defined set of samples (Key range/Velocity Range) ready to be loaded in to sampler instruments in whatever app you like.

Redmatica (the company that made Autosampler) was bought out by Apple a while back, and their tech was later incorporated into MainStage. It would be cool if Garageband iOS added the functionality to do this with loaded AUv3 instruments.

+1 for AU amp modeler.
The closest we have today is THM Overloud within Auria Pro, but as I've been using Bias Amp/FX (both fully loaded with IAP's) I haven't bitten the bullet on Overloud just yet.

Overloud is great, and I found out Saturn can be even better for distorted lead guitar sounds!

I’d love a decent graphic pitch correction app! Melodyne would be unreal - they charge 1k for their desktop app - but then there is Waves Tune, which has a price that is reasonable for iOS. This is a gap indeed, there’s absolutely no equivalent in iOS.

Oh yea AU sysex librarian that can also send program change and cc to external hardware would be nice. Load it on a daw project and save presets on external hardware and do other utility stuff with it as well. Shouldnt be too much work to code, that is if AU can understand sysex along with midi nowadays

Now we have AU3 midiout - a simple single track piano-roll style midi note recorder/player as an AU3. With the ability to loop over n -bars etc. Would turn AUM into a mini DAW.

A MIDI Randomizer that learns every parameter of any app and randomizes it with the ability to freeze or reset by parameter and save as preset.

This might already be programmable in Midifire.

I still think we're missing a killer DAW.

BM3 comes close, but is more of a groovebox than a linear arranger.
Cubasis and Auria tick the right boxes, but feel like a desktop app crammed into a touch interface.

Disagree. I like Cubasis better than the desktop version.

Odessa which @brambos just released might interest you Not exactly what you asked but its an AU pack of 3 different sequencers, arp, xy pads and LFO

A good tool for mastering, something like Ozone from iZotope (or something like Levels).

Totally agree, a new AU Sampler ie Simpler or Serato Sample with keyboard mapping and chorder function built in.

An app version of the Digitakt's sample sequencer.

I though i wanted this, but then realized that there isnt much i need from ozone with all the plugins i already have. The maximizer on it is something i dont think an equivalent exists as AU tho, and would really really want one. I think you could get pretty good similar results using some tricks and have a good enough ipad to run it all

Ive got MIDIDesigner which I thought might get close as well but I haven't dived in yet.

I agree, there are many tools that in some way do the trick. I usually do the mastering inside Auria Pro using FabFilters, 6144 DDMF EQ, etc, and sometimes Final Touch for the stereo image, but there is no single tool available to measure LUFS (like Levels), something mandatory if you are mastering for Spotify, Youtube, etc.

yowza

First world problems.

I'm waiting for the ultimate app to be released which doesn't immediately have people asking for AU, Link, panning, Apple's Files app access, kitchen sink etc etc to be added.

Make music with what you already have!!

CracklePot

I want a simple MIDI file player/editor/recorder that can be loaded into Audiobus 3 and AUM. It should have support for all 16 channels and have some good editing tools: translation, flipping, time offset for selected notes with wrap-around, weighted scaling of selected notes so you can create ratcheting-type effects, and scaling that can alter note lengths automatically. An AU version would be helpful as well. (A lot of these features are ones that I miss from FL Studio piano roll editor)

Thanks - One of the first in the cue to buy Odessa - so good

Don't know if it's really possible but I think that an app which simulates different monitors can be very handy for mixing on the iPad.

lukesleepwalker

Those who have mentioned mainstage are onto something. Tools for live performers have not really hit the mark on iOS. Why take a laptop when an iPhone or iPad could do the trick? Seems like a glaring hole to fill...

Crackles out of nowhere...IAA or midi connections that usually work decide not to for no apparent reason, etc.

Yeh, I’d pay for that.

[Deleted User]

Still better FX mainly. A delay like Replika XT and i want a reverb for sound design and lush, dense and REALLY huge spaces like B2.
As AU of course. Some things like the Cableguys stuff like Volume Shaper, Filter Shaper or Midi Shaper would be great too.

brice

This (functionality) as an AU is critically needed on iOS IMO. It’s incredible that we’re able to write, record and mix on these devices. But the tools needed to check phase, frequency and loudness are painfully missed. And something tells me that @brambos is the right person for this job, with a visual tie-in to Odessa’s aesthetics

[Deleted User]

Something that can take any .wav file, and turn it into Midi components. So, if a standard song is input, what comes out is separate bass, lead, drums and vocal, as a minimum.

Yes, there are apps that claim to change .wav to Midi, but they are at present limited and often fail unless what goes in fits what they need like a key in a lock.
