The new you that is! Lol
Ok I’ll harden my heart then, thanks for the advice
As alluded to earlier, it helps even if songs are not your bag. I sometimes just pretend to be a one man band and jam like a sad lonely git, but I still get more done now I’ve managed to get rid of too many choices.
My next attack is going to be my fx apps - I need less and get to know those I use better.
It matters not whether I consider it a song, or even record it to capture it.
I am still making music in that moment, and enjoying it tremendously.
This is a very profound statement and it really resonates with me. Last night I was messing with presets in Addictive Pro (new to me) and accidentally hit the dice (preset randomizer) on an arp preset. I happened upon something that to me was fresh, new and exciting. I had a great thing going for about 15 minutes. Pure joy in creation.
Now, I dearly want to hear that again but it's gone like vapor. But, what a great time with music I had. Had it occured to me to record it in that moment, I'll bet that moment would have been lost.
Yeah I really would like a similar always recording set up that then dumps it all if I don’t save it. One of the Roland workstations used to be able to do this.
Good advice mate! Every once in awhile I say to myself I need to reduce the apps I have that I don’t use. I am a song man though so there are certain apps I use. As of late I’ve hit my stride and have been prolific recording many songs with my acoustic guitar. And I’m even adding other elements and it’s going well and is exciting for me since I’ve done very little to almost no recording at all for many many years.
Thanks for creating this thread because it helps us readdress what we all need to face
But I really, really need, like, 10 different delays!
Really!
I may not finish anything, but I got down 20 ideas over the last week. Before I started cutting back the apps, I would regularly get stuck investigating apps to try to find something. Funny thing is, with less, I am finding what I want much quicker.
I know this is not new for many here, but I’ve only recently found that even getting rid of great apps like the Korg ones, helps me focus and have more fun!
Cutting down my fx apps is going to be hard. I’ve deleted all non AU fx apps and still have 49 fx apps left!
I REALLY struggle with cutting FX but I think that's more OK because I do actually flip through a number sometimes, trying this and that, and often settle on something I wouldn't have initially thought of. Not so true for synths and drum machines....
Yeah true that. Also most fx apps dont hog much space either.
That's one of those AU synths where you can't see any presets. WTF is up with that? I need my presets!
Have you transferred your presets over to the AU?
No, I haven't learned yet how to do that (and am perturbed that I should even need to). I'm wondering why the factory presets don't show up on some synths, but do show up on others? Are some developers just lazy/not as good?
The factory presets do show up
That’s the secret ingredient is to stay focused and not get distracted. What do you do with apps like Z3TA+? It’s not in my app store anymore, it’s still on my device but is broken and makes no sound. Reason says to delete it but I keep holding on waiting for someone to get it working again all in vain sadly.....
Just delete it?
Deleted it as I have all non Au apps. If it ever got sorted as an app and got AU, then it’s likely I would download it again. As for now, it’s just of no use to me
Ok very good reasoning to delete it ,thanks
Attachment to apps may also be attachment to certain points of view. While some will have us believe that those that want AU apps are all repeating zealots, A rather polite AU request has become just an excuse for witch burning and cross carrying, all in the name of their God
I did this the other day, actually! It helps that apps can be re-downloaded without purchasing again, unlike hardware (still kicking myself for selling that Roland JU-06!). But when you’ve established your go-to sounds, it’s nice to “clean house” and free up some space with apps you haven’t used in a while.
Yeah I still kick myself for selling my:
Alesis Andromeda
Waldorf XTK
And all my EMU synths and samplers
Doh!
Mood is awesome. For me it was the best synth release last year. Mood can sound just as good as Zeeon and take things a bit further as well. I’m also a bit of an Apesoft whore, though.
I think it’s a bit weird that while they are considered flagship iOS synths, i never use my Moog apps and deleted them recently with no second thoughts. I don’t feel they are as creative as the stuff indie devs make. Also I kind of just hate emulations of synthesizers past.
Love Model D myself, but it is too hungry for my iPad mostly
I admit, I do find the Moog UI style a little fidgety for some reason. Not sure why exactly, but definitely feels that way compared to some other devs’ apps.
But I also have to admit...
I think it’s a bit weird that you “also kind of just hate emulations of synthesizers past.”
Had a play with it yesterday - keep forgetting you can load in samples as well. Very powerful little synth.
mood is up in the top 5 iOS synths for me, competing with the big boys like Model D, Model 15, Zeeon and LayR. I think it's HIGHLY underrated, both for sound quality and sheer power. The apeSoft architecture (LFO any knob) opens up countless possibilities, as do the added FM and sample player. I don't use mood nearly as often as I should, but when I open it up and dive in I'm always reminded how much I love it.
Don't forget about the synth buried in Moebius Lab as well...
I was really excited by all the possibilities of AU and AU midi, but have to admit that I’m slightly frustrated with the seemingly slow take up of AU midi and even AU with drum sound apps.
Yeah, getting lots of synths and fx, but sequencers, drum sound apps (both sampled and synth), other AU midi controllers are not seemingly being either understood or seen as a new market.
Come on devs, the market is there for the taking!
Animoog is hardly an emulation.
That’s the great thing about iOS synths - we have quite good variety to suit all. Shame this can’t be said about some other iOS music making devices (yeah I’m ranting again lol)
How many host apps are you guys and gals running now?
I’ve cut down to 4:
BM3
Cubasis
AUM
Moebius Lab
