Jeez. Your killin it on all of these!!!!!!! Fantastic!!!!!
Nice nice nice
Gadget seems to have more bite (sharper synth sounds) than GB and more depth overall than Caustic.
Good work.
Caustic -> Gadget -> GarageBand
EXCELLENTE!!
I simply love the futuristic and stylish Trance!
Can I ask what makes it 'futuristic' trance? Just trying to learn as someone who's just casually brushed the genre.
Thanks for all the replies. It's funny @MobileMusic that you call my songs futuristic. Most people say it reminds them of Trance from the late 90s to early 00s.
Each app sounds different. Is one “better” than the other? Absolutely not! “Instruments” sound different. If they all sounded the same we might as well have only one color on the palette. Your skills at using them are obvious. Nicely done in all cases! Thanks!
The Gadget track sounds like Gouryella. The GB one a bit like 90s Paul Van Dyk. The third one sounds like a cross between early-to-mid 2000s Alphazone with a heavy 90s DJ Quiksilver attitude. All are equally excellent in my opinion.
SO, if you're not opposed to subscriptions for apps that are actually good, maybe give Auxy a spin and see what you come up with. Also try Electribe Wave. Unless you have iOS 10 and still have Nanostudio 1.
I wanna see what you concoct mate. Your style is ripper.
Electribe Wave very good for trance indeed!
Gadget is the best however because with all the effects you have a minimum of five layered and a maximum of maybe 9-10 depending on the synth. Although Caustic has the modular with the audio routing and GarageBand has the smart instruments, dj FX, LiveLoops and AU hosting... dammit I can’t decide actually so I’ll stick with the one that I’m the most heavily invested in financially
If Gadget had a better song mode I’d use it more as I am also “heavily invested”.
It just doesn’t suit my feeble brain.
Technology is the future.
Techno music is the future (I think).
Sadly, Trance/EDM is not popular in the USA like it is highly popular in EU and elsewhere - even though USA is the technology hub and the wealthiest country in the world. Also, not many movies are made on technology - like Matrix, Tron Legacy, Chef, Black Hat, Inception, Iron Man, Prometheus, i.Robot, Terminator 2, Gravity, Jurassic Park, Total Recall, Antitrust, Firewall, Underground, Social Network, Silicon Valley, Office Space, etc. Compare USA to Amsterdam, Japan, etc.
Computer illiteracy is unbelievable and so many people have not touched a computer - people still write letters with a pen and paper and old-fashioned things like door-to-door brochures, marketing mail/coupons in the mailbox still work. Most of IRS is not automated - they still love a lots of tons of paper work
How hard is it to host 940, 941, etc as online fill-n-submit web-forms? These can be automated in just a few weeks but they want us to mail printed forms so they could scan and store the data! While the rest of the world is going paperless and cashless. Internet speeds and data plans are mediocre for the fees charged compared to Korea, Japan, China, India and other countries.
Another strange thing is when a technology product is introduced into the market, it goes VIRAL and becomes hard to replace - even if a better technology product comes along in smaller size. 5.25" floppy-3.5" floppy, Cassette-CD, VHS-DVD, DVD-Bluray, CRT-LCD, 3:4-16:9... It takes decades and sometimes, never. Minidisc never really had any traction in the USA which was stuck with big/read-only CD Players even though Minidisc is very popular in space-constrained Japan and unlike a CD player, Minidisc could read/WRITE to the tiny mini discs. Finally, it got discontinued a couple of years ago
RIP.
(I think I got carried away and side-tracked here)
I grew up listening to Pink Floyd, Sting, Dire Straits, Madonna, Chris Rea, Michael Learns to Rock, Huey Lewis, Scorpions, Metallica, Pet Shop Boys, London Boys, Kraftwerk, etc and still love Pop, Rock, Metal but Trance and Hi-NRG (which are the last genres I listened to while growing up) are my first and natural preference as an IT guy. Dance music in the USA means singing (like the BPM channel on SiriusXM) while it is mostly instrumental Trance elsewhere.
We should be living and breathing technology!
Yeah...but here is the future:
@chisel316 that's a well done comparison of 3 different environments, each with it's distinctive character.
Gadget hits best what 'Trance' is about according to my personal taste, quite some variety in sound.
Caustic clearly reveals it's specific soundprint, which can be nice for a section - but it's not my cup of tea if that makes up the whole track.
Garageband features a more 'natural' approach to sound, lacks some impact which the more electronic focussed contenders bring in by their very nature.
@chisel316 Thanks for sharing
It’s totally subjective but want to ask which app of the three
-Had the most inspiring sounds
-Had the fastest workflow .
Keep hammering
I first thought i like the Gadget the most but with deeper listen i think the Garage Band one is the best. The FX sound better to me and the mix just breath more.
However, Caustic loose here but all are well produced and a great listen.
I think a listener really wouldn´t care so just use what fits your workflow the best.
(all apps could need better FX in this case).
The answer to both questions is Gadget. For the types of music I like to make, Gadget has the best instruments. I also found it the easiest to use. My only request would be for a simple way to return values to their default (e.g. double click).
Thank you all for your compliments and feedback. Over the last year my musical journey has brought me outside the box. I still use the iPad as a virtual mixer and multi effects processor. I switched from making produced songs to performing live for YouTube. It's the most fun I've ever had making music. Here's an example...
The iPad is mounted above the Eurorack case just out of the picture. All my gear runs through AUM and is controlled my the twin Launch Control XLs.
It all sounds pretty dated to me - nothing ages so poorly as yesterday’s version of the future. That said, all examples are vey well-produced and certainly much more coherent than anything I could make in this genre. So, I guess that I want you to use your talent for good instead of evil.
It’s late...
GarageBand can use AU and IAA. So, I am not sure how one can say that its sound lacks some impact -- unless you are talking about using GarageBand with only its built-in instruments.
WTF today’s music sounds like dog crap anyway. You talk about dated sounding music like it’s a bad thing
exactly the latter, which I assumed as a precondition.
A lot of Future House music falls back on sounds derived from the M1. For example....
So, what @chisel316 made sounds like 90s Trance, and those sounds have aged very well.
As @LucidMusicInc said, a lot of modern stuff sounds like dog shite, and I agree to some extent.
"Use it for good instead of evil" is about the silliest thing I've ever heard, so I hope you weren't being serious when you typed it.
Hey, if you want @chisel316 to do something YOU want him to do, pay up the money. 
Let me be clear... music that’s getting made today is just as good as any other time by artists who are sincere but let’s be real... what are supposed to be trendy modern genres are either rebranded derivatives of the same old genres that came before or some freakish hybrid zombie genre like mumble rap or future bass EDM. A lot of music in the 90s and 2000s sucked as well probably because they were trying to be different than the conventional standards. So I hope I’ve made my point now. Either music is good because it is well made by competent artists or it’s dog crap shat out by hacks hired by the industry in an effort to fill up the airwaves. In my Opinion! Do what you like, don’t just do something to be on the bandwagon!!
Dang it. I wanted to sound like Lucid Music! 😂😬🤪
Obviously you failed to see the humorous intent of my “good or evil” comment. In any case, it all does sound dated and tired in my opinion. But if you want to go on, I’m game. Otherwise, I’m happy to let this die.
All 3 were entirely different sounds, all three were good! There seems no wrong choice to me!
Game on! Let’s hear your examples of what music is supposed to sound like in present day. Keep in mind these songs posted by the OP were I fact made 2 years ago. But we would like to hear what you are comparing these tracks to so that we can dispassionately evaluate whether or not they are objectively better than canine excrement.
Not sure what music is “supposed” to sound like. That’s the problem, I think. I like noise, feedback, and a bit of harmonic imperfection. I want my ears challenged and this isn’t the right thread for that.
Nope!
Hey @chisel316 just wanted to say great job on all of those. I like the compressed sound of the Gadget the best, at least on drums. But, honestly, thought the Caustic sound too was excellent.
