Taking Photos is an universal thing, EVERYBODY LOVES taking photos in special moments with family and friends or NEEDS to take photos of some papers for work, school, an emergency or needs to take a screenshot, etc... it’s a daily need (and 99% of those don’t need to be excellent photos, only good enough, some people are perfectly happy with bad quality photos as long as it serves their needs), that’s why the camera in your pocket it’s the best camera and the reason why professional cameras are so niche now.
Here’s the thing:
-NO ONE NEEDS to make music on a daily basis (unless you’re a professional musician with no other job of course)
-there’s people who LOVE making music but that’s not everybody. think about it all the way, Most amateur musician and hobbyists are performers not creators, most trained classical, jazz and mainstream musicians are performers as well, they don’t need a DAW with plugins (that’s basically what an iOS device used for music creation is) on their pockets the whole time, they need a metronome, a pdf reader for their scores, some music theory apps, ear training apps, etc... maybe they perform with iOS apps and a MIDI controller BUT that’s when there’s a performance or a rehearsal/ practice not “on the go” and it doesn’t have to be with them the whole time.
-we have the people who NEEDS to make music and the people who LOVES to make music (there’s lot of overlapping there) of those most do it on the comfort of their professional studio or their setup at home or live on the stage. that’s my case, I could never create music “on the go” like in my car or in the train or while sitting on the park, most professional/ amateur music creators I know are this way.
-there’s people who only love listening to music and have no interest nor desire to perform or create (most people on the planet)
-that only leaves the people who LOVE to make music on the go (there most by someone) and the people who NEEDS to make music on the go (Mostly people with full time jobs, wives, and kids).
This is why the smartphone in your pocket won over the professional and amateurs cameras but the “DAW on the go” iPhone can’t do the same thing, in most situations where music and music creation it’s involved an iPad or a PC can do the same, that gives potential consumers a lot of choice as it comes down to personal preference. The iPhone only has an advantage on very small, niche scenarios.
You might love the iPhone because it allows you to do music everywhere and that’s awesome, the thing you have to realize it’s that you’re a minority within a minority within a minority. For most music creators an iPad or a PC it’s an equally valid choice all based on things so subjective/ specific that are worthless in an iPad/PC vs iPhone debate.
@Lacm1993 I already knew that I'm a minority in a minority in a minority in almost all aspects of life
however you just uncovered a new facet 
Indeed for me, having a camera always with me means that I can take a photo whenever there is a beautiful scene or when inspiration strikes me. And I'm the same with music: I am completely and utterly uninspired while sitting at home with my iPad. Whenever the musical ideas come to my mind, I need to be able to quickly jot them down, and that mostly happens while I'm outside, in the forest, walking along the road, or even when sitting in a Café, etc.
I thought that most people were like that, seems like I was wrong (again)
Thanks for sharing.
For me it is quite the opposite. I've tried using iPhone as a phone/camera/always with me etc. but I just didn't like the experience. Didn't like that I couldn't use a third party keyboard with 3 languages loaded, I couldn't find a decent music folder player, I hated spending ridiculous amounts of money on extra storage etc, etc. I also didn‘t like the experience of creating music on such a small screen and running out of battery that resulted from it.
I actually didn't like the fact that I could make music anywhere. When I'm out, to me it is time for absorption, not creation. I might whip out a voice recorder to capture a melody or sketch a bit but that's it.
The ipad on the other hand is for when I have time to sit down and let it loose. I don't think that will ever change to be honest.
I guess one thing is that I'm not a commuter. When I drive I can't use a screen anyway, mostly listen to what I've done at home. Same thing when I cycle.
Different circumstances I suppose.
Is your pro the big screen one by any chance?
I also jot down ideas on iPhones when on the go yet that’s almost always Voice memos app.
When it comes to investing in and using plugins I see that as a non-iPhone worlkflow. A simple app like Figure or a default app like GB might could possibly to mind.
But all my other quality plugins are married to iPad activity where the creative energy gets a more respectable and rewarding canvas.
This again?
@Love3quency
You are the Tobias Fünke of the Audiobus Forum!
EDIT: Deleted equally long argument about the faulty generalizations in your comment and decided to go with this:
You said: "...but the “DAW on the go” iPhone can’t do the same thing, in most situations where music and music creation it’s involved an iPad or a PC..." It appears to me that you are saying that the iPhone doesn't have the ability to create music as well as an iPad--presumably just because of its screen size. I want to assure you as an iPhone-only user that with the apps available this is not a problem. Screen size is plenty sufficient for the intelligently designed tools available for music creation.
I used to complain about the lack of needed tools available for the iPhone. While I'll always be an appoholic, I can honestly state that there isn't anything left that I truly "NEED". We have it all. Everything tool imaginable, including the ability to master straight from the phone. In fact, the ONLY place that the iPad has an advantage over the iPhone, is with DAW choice. It may not have Cubasis or Auria, but Gadget and GarageBand (with AUM and AudioShare) are plenty sufficient for complete and full musical creation. Add to those the hundreds of professional available apps that are universally shared with iPad, and this argument doesn't stand. Furthermore, the immediate availability and portability are advantages.
The only hard truth with your statements that I agree with is the purchasing user base. More people historically have been purchasing for the iPad than have been purchasing for the iPhone. This is the argument that @brambos has stated. I am (as are many of us), working to demonstrate how powerful and capable the tool really is, with hopes that those who cannot or will not buy an iPad are aware that true professional (as professional as iPads anyway) music work on an iPhone is possible and not at all unpleasant.
I believe that iPhone users need to be vocal in a constructive way to promote the capabilities of the iPhone in order to grow the user base. I believe this is better than arguing about it or complaining about it over and over in forums. However, I also believe that the true capabilities of the iPhone shouldn't be misrepresented, which can give iPhones for music a bad reputation. I feel that your comments misrepresent the iPhone's true abilities and strengths. This is why I posted this--to be clear--the iPhone is in every way just as powerful and capable of a tool as the iPad.
Too small.
Of course, and that was also another point I made, the latest iPhones from the se,6,7 and now 8 have faster processing power. Most decent synths are now universal like zeon, the korg ones, layr, mood, synthscaper. And apps like GarageBand, gadget and even most drum synths. What to speak of fx plugins. Then we have AUM, AB etc too
The phone just happens to be smaller.
For me it’s not a case of making music on the go... I make all my sounds at home, even in bed lol. I don’t have to put the phone down like I would an iPad.
It’s simply easier for me to use my phone than an iPad that’s all
Sure I could download the already purchased BM3 on the iPad mini I own but I’m not gonna because I have all my apps on the phone. I’d only use it to mess with samples anyway then export to GB
I don’t get why some think a bigger device is more powerful lol. Sure some prefer bigger screen size but...that doesn’t matter if you have skills in production. You can do just as well on iPhone.
You can even run nano studio on a 3GS and make complete tracks because the app was designed so well
The dev said he runs NS2 just fine on an iPhone 5
Now that says it all really
Exactly. It's too small.
For some things, yes. In general, no.
After the strange new iOS music genre it will go further soon in sub genres called iPad music and iPhone music.
I still have a samsung s3 phone
I use phone for texting, photos, and playing music mp3
iPad Pro for audio production all day
Thinking about upgrading to a iPhone soon tho
Last iPhone I had was 3GS
So smaller is better in bed. Who knew?!
It’s startling that Universal apps are so polarizing that members of a mobile music-making community feel compelled to make the case against mobile music-making. Small differences, indeed.
Well said! ....sadly.
I haven't phoned anyone in weeks. Always on do not disturb! Can't be bothered dealing with the drama.
I am one of those who do not have much of an interest in iPhone music.
Some minor exceptions exist, though.
ThumbJam is cool for some entertainment when waiting for the bus or for showing it to a friends kid when on a visit.
GarageBand: Nice to transfer a project from the iPad and show it to a friend.
Got some other apps installed but none of them are REALLY important for me.
As long as I have an iPad, why bother with the small screen?
As usual it´s anyway useless to even try to think about why other people around the world might or not prefer other workflows, devices, apps.
Why does not everybody like bananas? I don´t know.
We should all spend more time i getting creative with the tools we prefer rather than waiting for the next best thing or trying to praise our "religion" to other people.
I see everywhere things like iOS is the best, iOS sucks, iPads are the next best thing, iPads suck....etc. You know what i mean. But it is in the humans nature to think and try that other MUST be the same.
You can do full blown songs with iPhones, iPads, notebooks, desktops.....hell, even without any of these
Welcome to 2018, we have the choice.
Otherwise we introduce 100 new genres for every combination of hard- and software.
I don’t like bananas
It's not about power but about bottlenecks.
Having said that, this thread reads a little like a computer vs IPad dialogue. Some wouldn't touch Ipad for anything serious, others have had enough of 'proper' computers.
As with most things it is opinions, preferences and reasons for or against talking. All I can say is it's good to have choices. Pity iPhone users don't feel well catered for but ultimately it is the developers who have to find a good reason to change their ways.
Funny that we share about 55% of DNA with bananas.
That explain why we humans are talking banana in internet forums.
By way of parallel, over past few decades I’ve gone from carrying a twin-lens-reflex camera around (Mamiya C330 with five lens packs!) and a couple of SLR bodies, to a bigger SLR (Nikon F4 and big bunch of lenses and flashes) to a smaller TLR, smaller SLRs bigger SLRs, digital SLRs, roll film SLRs (Mamiya 645 Super (which I lost, with a zoom lens for it!) and Bronica ETRSi (still have)), pocket cameras, rangefinder cameras, video cameras, everything. Last year I dumped all my Nikon stuff that would sell, and kept one camera – a Sony RX10. I also had my Nexus 6p phone (superb camera, but simply can’t focus close, and I need that). Since then I’ve also acquired a tiny Sony A5100 because it’s smaller and lighter (and also I still have my Micro-Nikkor 55m for very very very close close-up work, and with an adaptor fits onto the A5100, which solves that problem). At this point, I really can’t see myself going backwards and getting a big heavy DSLR system ever again. I’m sticking with my new iPhone and for ‘proper’ photos I specially make the effort to take out my gorgeous Sonnar lens which is permanently attached to a Sony RX10 (which is surprisingly small and lightweight, actually - much smaller than a DSLR). Most times my phone is adequate.
I didn’t think I could be happy with a phone screen, especially as at this age I can’t focus at all at arms length without reading glasses, and even then everything’s too small, but I can, and it isn’t a problem (with apps that are designed correctly). I’d like my iPhone 8 Plus to be even bigger, obviously, but there’d be a point that I’d be reluctant to actually take it out. I did consider a little iPad mini, but it’s too big for a pocket. I did consider a iPod Touch, but it’s extra to my phone, so I’d leave it at home half the time. It had to be one device which does everything so that it’s always with me, and doesn’t get left behind. A big capable phone is that for me. (As I say, I’m looking forward to an even bigger phone than the 8 Plus, which I think a theoretical X Plus might manage to be – but seriously, why can’t my 8 Plus make use of my existing Apple Pencil? )
@Love3quency I'll be honest. with your thread titles you do look quite like a troll at this point. so @brambos considering you as one is quite spot on. All i see is someone trying to get people to fight against each other on a forum that doesn't really need this. Also. further antagonizing a dev that is actually catering for iphone users with every app might not be the brightest idea you have had.
Regarding the headphone jack. its the main reason i switched from IOS to Android.
the loss of it completely put me off using an iPhone whatsoever. if the Ipad loses it as well i might be permanently done with IOS. i have much better headphones than the apple earbuds. needing an adapter or a usb hub to use them just makes no sense to me when i can just plug them in on other devices. plus i don't need latency for no reason using bluetooth.
You are mistaken if you think my OP was intended to create arguments. If you scroll to the beginning of the thread then you would see that there was no chaos until the dev you mentioned called me a troll. I made my point to him directly and he did not have the decency to qualify himself for that statement.
So, who is the troll? A troll is someone who starts an argument then disappears. Yet here I am still qualifying my views and interacting mate.
I am an iOS musician like the rest of you and am passionate about the case for iPhone music specifically.
That obviously rubs people up the wrong way, and if so, they decided to check out the thread and get involved. Some others have said positive things in favour of the iPhone.
Yes, there should be no arguments on this forum, but it does happen and I am not the only one who triggers them ( relating to the political posts).
I see no attempt at honest dialogue from some members, just rude name calling despite my trying to be polite.
So, who is truly at fault here?
Please see the context:
iPhone owners vastly outnumber iPad owners=a bigger potential market.
That’s all I was trying to say
Not iPhone is better than iPad.
That’s a relative
It’s not my problem if people get sensitive and cannot engage in adult discussions and hurl abuse
My opinions are my own and I have a vision for iPhone music, it’s sad that some( not all) developers have that vision because it would put more money in their pockets
Peace
Here are facts as I see them:
At least this is how I see it.
As an iPhone only user, I totally understand why some musicians prefer iPad. iPhone is small, there are less apps, etc.
I understand why devs prefer iPad, if music apps market is much more important for that device. They need to make money to live, which is certainly not that evident considering the App Store prices model.
I understood this quickly while beginning iPhone music production. I’ve no issues with that, and try to do things with more limited app tools we have for that device. I try to produce differently, and to forget traditional DAW workflow.
Like some others, I prefer iPhone to be quick on creation, everywhere and when I want. I like that a LOT. Other reason is that I can record my tenor sax easily at home or outside, with a device as convenient and compact as possible, without exporting/importing everything all the time.
This leads me to one major reason I didn’t buy an iPad yet, to complement the iPhone. Some apps don’t even have iCloud projects sharing, or need iTunes. I want to be fast. If I have an idea, don’t want to do some WiFi export with AudioShare or flatten/export everything in blocs wave just because I started something in iPhone and want the iPad or vice versa.
Other thing is that I tend to be a one and only guy. I know how to play tenor, alto, soprano saxes, but only practice my tenor sax all the time because I’m in passion with it. Same thing with my iPhone, it’s not rational but I love doing music with this thing. It’s small and limited, but powerful enough to do lot of nice things in a way that as a musician I find very inspiring and helps me to be prolific.
No trolling here, just sharing some thoughts and enthusiasm.
@Love3quency
Where have all your "lol" gone? You were funnier. lol
(Just trolling nvm)
EDIT: lol
You as usual mr lol
I am at fault for believing the iPhone has more potential than some on here?
Well, there’s an auxy thread going on and some of the production made on it is far more accomplished than many iPad tracks if you care to take a listen...
And guess what their target audience is? iPhone users lol.. and lol and lolol
