Absolutely. I have both the original and the later V3 and V4 on my devices, and honestly, the one I come back to when capturing ideas is always the original version that's not officially available anymore. It can even send MIDI to external gear!
As for the subscription model: I'd rather purchase Reason 10 or Ableton Live than using Auxy for a few years
I dont want to get any subscriptions. I rather own than loan. Plus i dont want to worry having to pay for nothing if i wouldnt use some subscription thing in a month..

Exactly. We buy something, we use it when we please, and get value from it. Renting, puts the app on the clock. Someone else’s Clock. Don’t use it for a month, and you are paying for absolutely nothing.
Then there’s the issue of where content is stored, who owns it and if projects remain accessible when subscription lapses. If such works are not accessible then users could very easily find that they no longer have control of their own work, unless it has already been exported to another app.
So this is the future of ios music production. The need of a dozen subscription based apps with a total cost of 60€ per month? This trend is so painful and sad

Nope. It’s a future that a tiny minority of developers would prefer. It will only be a trend if enough people go along, and I’d be surprised if that happened.
Bingo
If you've spent anytime on the Auxy forums, you quickly realise just how young their user base is.
76% of forum members are between 10-17
The subscription model seems like a brave choice given that the bulk of their users would have little-to-no income..?
I would presume their parents would be funding the subs.
hui, interesting. sounds like a really clever idea charging these loyal kiddies 5 bucks a month.

Maybe they’re thinking mum and dad will be pleased to pay in order to keep the little burgers quiet.
It won't be long before they hand out trial subs with nappy's and milk, start them young, see those prodigy's go.....
With the BM3 thread closed it looks like this will be today's popcorn thread...

Yeah, what happened there? Seemed civil enough last time I looked in.

Maybe I should download the new Auxy Version to see what the fuzz is all about
Subscription is not that cool for sure. I am using Lightroom a LOT! But I would never ever think about drowning 12€ a month to rent it.
The moment you stop paying you stand there with empty hands - I hate that. Bought Lightroom as long as this was possible. Screw you Adobe!!! But this is about Auxy right
Yeah their users are young and some of them this is their first music making experience and I gotta say, they’re making a lot of really cool shit edm wise. There’s some who have even done really beautiful piano compositions as well. Honestly I’m a little jealous. Would have killed to have such a simple straightforward program when I started out. Now I’ve got my habits and Auxy doesn’t always jive with them. At the very least, I’m looking at this subscription thing as an alternative to splice or the new novation thing. I’ll probably subscribe, unsubscribe as needed, rip some sounds for elsewhere etc. Don’t suspect I’ll be finishing that many projects in Auxy until they put live recording in there which to me is the real issue. It’s been too damn long and there are too many alternatives where I can jam and record loops live on the touchscreen.
I am also fond of the original model, and use it quite frequently.
Although I do like the Vivrant pianos pack, the other really does nothing for me. I will fiddle with it for a bit, but then just say to myself, "Hmmm...I dunno...maybe if I were into EDM..."
Hugh it’s actually pretty cool and the idea of automation as separate buttons to select and activate is great. Pity they ruined it with this subscription (at least for me)... bummer
I like the subscription models with Photoshop and Lightroom. No large payment up front. Works great. I've had no problem with it. I'd pay subscription for Logic Pro, but it's luckier that Apple practically gives it away, and with very generous free updates.
Because of its uniqueness, for the right price I might be tempted to subscribe to GeoShred if they went that way---I doubt they do. Maybe AUM and Audiobus. But most apps on iOS, as great as they are, there are so many options. I don't really rely on anything specific. I've used Auxy. It's cool, but it's not a major tool for me. For those who use it a lot, I can see it being worth the rent. Fortunately, as consumers, the choices we have these days are staggering.
Fair.
Yeah that’s true. I’m not doing it. But it kinda makes me sad because I love Auxy
I was an Auxy fan (I purchased almost all packs too), but this move definitely put out of my radar.
IMHO It’s not the subscription model the real problem (I don’t like it though), but the fact that with this update they intentionally removed things that was previously free in order to force users to pay:
For example the original sounds are not there anymore, and if you haven’t bought any pack from the old version you’re left with only 16 drum sounds
Let alone the fact that with this update they cramped the user interface,
You got to rebuild your kits navigating between multitudes of sounds etc...
I’m reading some complaints on their forum and the answers from the devs are not convincing me at all:
I will repeat:
I’m not against subscription, but I don’t like this kind of attitude.
If they leave the old functionalities free and made the new ones accessible with a subscription it would be a classier choice.
Auxy it’s been cancelled from my iPhone.
Sounds like Richards Syndrome. That is when someone thinks they are an important Richard, like Richard the Lionheart. But really they’re just a small Dick.
Maybe when this ‘model’ bites them on the bum, they’ll ‘live with’ the knowledge that they had a great app, plus a following of music makers happy to pay for IAP’s. Be they sound packs or increased functionality.
Then they withdrew formerly free stuff, made using the app harder, and using it at all in a worthwhile way only possible via their poorly judged rental scheme.
Attitude, in everything, will always out and have its own consequences, as powerful a force as the vaunted market. More significantly (for me) is that because of previous purchases I have a couple of months sub free and thus signed up, but apart from ten minutes in the car I just haven't opened it since. No doubt I will but this process has made me realize that (for me) it's really nothing more than an occasional fiddler...and thus not subscription material.

Like Uncle Ernie, in Tommy.
I guess it really depends on how good the content is. If it’s just 10 synth sounds a month like previous packs, then I’m not gonna go for it cause I’ll be paying even when they put out a shit one. But if they start doing things like packs of lots and lots melodic samples (which they are going to add melodic samples) then I might bite. But at the end of the day, your business has to make money I guess and developers are facing that reality. They said the IAP soundpacks took way too much of their focus since they felt pressured to make them really good each time and then they didn’t have much time left for new features. So I don’t blame them really, there are downsides for sure, but you gotta do what you gotta do. And apparently the developers are very aware of what goes on here and to their knowledge this audience is not really growing at the rate it appears to be from within. So I dunno. It is what it is.
Absolutely. I do find myself getting a bit entitled sometimes about this kind of thing, when in the beginning, middle and end it's their business and, they like everyone else, are truly entitled to make whatever decisions they see fit and the rest of us can do what the market always does and vote with our wallets as we wish to...
