Shoutout to the Devs
Just wanted to give a shoutout to the devs out there. I see time and time again how under-appreciated you guys are. So many people giving you shit for features you never promised, wanting every app to have every possible function and feature.
But most of you are just one dude doing this on your own for not a lot of money. So hats off to you for putting up with the bullshit of these entitled fucks.

I think that would have worked just fine without the last sentence. All went a bit Icarus at that point.
Probably right.
You weren’t wrong though.
He's having a go at me I think, because apparently I think a modern drum machine should support advanced features like velocity and patterns longer than a bar.
Not just you. There are a lot of people included in this.
And yeah, asking for features is one thing. But saying someone’s hard work is “useless” because it doesn’t suit your specific need is another thing.
Or at me. When Pulse was first released, I asked the dev for more bars and finer rhythmic resolution so this isn’t anything new. In my other post I did say I didn’t like to speak negatively and I’m hopeful things will be added. Maybe I should have qualified what I wrote as being my opinion only but I thought that was kind of obvious. When I bought Pulse on presale offer, I made the assumption that there were going to be common rhythmic subdivisions that are in most drum machines so I learned a valuable lesson not to assume anything.
You’ve never bought an app that doesn’t do what you thought it should?
+1
But maybe the joke’s on us by some devs who make faulty app just to troll.
I have. But I’m not going to flame the dev and app because it didn’t have everything I wanted. Especially if it was never advertised as having what I want. But I see that happen a ton.
My favorite example was the @brambos bashing that happened with Mononoke. “You made a drone app that just drones”.
From what I’ve heard, some drama happened around sequencing in Drambo, despite the fact that no one ever demoed the functionality people are bitching about.
Has this happened? Cause that’s shitty for sure.
It wasn't obvious in the description that it was limited to a single bar. For my purposes it is useless (which I think is what I said). And it will be useless for a lot of other people too. If I bought a synth that didn't support MIDI, and this wasn't made clear in the description, I'd also be kind of annoyed. That's kind of a key feature.
Somebody asked if it had a piano roll. When told no, they said they probably wouldn't buy until it did. The only unpleasantness (and it was pretty mild), was one of the beta testers saying that they didn't want it to have piano roll because they didn't like piano rolls.
Some of the Monoke criticism was...odd. But some of it was people who bought it and were disappointed that it only seemed (to their ears) to be able to generate one kind of sound. Which isn't unreasonable.
I have felt your rage many times but we should accept that a person might find an app
as designed "useless" (meaning I won't use it... reject, refund or regret). If they are clear what's missing it might save someone some headaches.
But I do agree that developers cannot make everyone happy. So, looking for patterns in review are often required. It's better to give a new app some time to get a reasonable and fair consensus of feedback. Everyone wins that way. I'm sitting on the Juno clone for example when I would normally just grab it during this rush of enthusiasm phase when I
already have many synths that sound very much like it. Syntronik for example has all the classic synths cloned without the GUI's which I would never spend any time (re)learning.
Just flip through the preset and stop when something fits the current project.
Money is a factor but the biggest critical resource is time. That's why effective videos are
important... if I do the work what would it sound like? Helps with time investing.
How many apps did you buy and just never dig into. Great apps still there as a sunk cost.
So, these frustrated reviews can be important too. Let them vent and psh back when it's
clearly off base.
"No offense but your baby is butt ugly. Don't make any more kids."
It amazes me how much faster I can start a new song idea on iOS versus Windows.
If something I need is missing/broken in one app, I can use another app, and use both at the same time, at least in some hosts.
Plus all of the AU synths and effects on iOS, for 10% of the desktop prices.
iOS really has curbed my hardware gas.
With so many options on iOS, and the prices so low, it's just too easy. Thanks developers.
Much better to invest $1000 on a portable iPad studio than $10,000 on hardware in a dedicated room in for home, IMHO. Either way you get a creative outlet but someone might care about saving that $9,000 when the kids need braces.
This is a huge factor for me. I would not be where I am right now musically if I had to shell out the money to get on PC/Mac what I have on my iPhone and iPad. I’m actually trying to sell my MacBook since I got it for music and don’t need it.
Even for people with money to burn, those with large home studios, IMHO, an iPad with a multi-channel audio interface loaded with AUv3 effects in AUM or Audiobus 3 is a better sounding, more convenient option versus 19" racks full of effects processors, guitar pedal boards, cabling...at least for digital effects.
And personally, I'm hesitant to buy expensive hardware these days (Akai Force/MPC/Roland MC-707) due to those companys' poor history with updates. Or releasing a new version so soon, eg MPC Live V2 is coming soon.
My intention isn't to bash hardware - I'd love an MPC One or Force, since Beatmaker 3 has no dedicated controller. Though I'm much more productive on BM3 versus any MPC or groovebox that I've ever used.
These Dev. are my heroes... I wish them all health, wealth and happiness.. Something about ‘creating something out of ‘nothing’ ... it’s Devine..
Edit...And Heroine..
Do you mean Atom? That dude does need a spanking from his Mamma.. he’s been a bad boy..
So much potential from that app.. it can change the world..
