It seems for most people here Drambo is the all-in-one solution.
I tried that too and while i really love Drambo it lacks also in a lot things for me, especially high quality FX and for some other things dedicated simpler to use apps are just much better (for me) and it is just not possible to do things with it i just need 3 clicks with other tools.
Maybe i start to avoid this "do it all" apps since they do nearly everything but they do everything just O.K.
Still Drambo is maybe the most interesting apps this year and stays so for a while and it seems to have a great community which is missing in the iOS world often.
I have also tried Drambo and it’s not for me. Maybe I’m just old but I’ve come to love the AUM environment. Always start from scratch and it doesn’t feel cumbersome at all.
I agree with Drambo being (one of the) most interesting apps this year and happy to see so many happy users but for modular, mine is AUM.
Where I think NuRack might pip Drambo for a channel strip is in the GUI layout? I will try both and see what I prefer.
@gusgranite Whatever fits the purpose best 👍🏼
A while back, @ka010 mentioned something about a drum machine. I’d love to see that.
I’d also love to see Pure Acid cloned and repurposed for beatmaking. Swap the acid synth for an 808 bass and have samples that are more rap-oriented.
Would also love to see a new synth from Ice Gear because they’re just fantastic.
Your Pure Acid idea would be popular I think @DukeWonder
This Lately app from Fewer is amazing. Highly recommended.
They had one with a phone slot too and even an mpc with an iPad slot. Then Apple changed the connector and Akai never bothered again
They can name it “Pure Garbage”.
I love the 303
The only way to improve “Pure Acid” is to add another 303.
I think Drambo may have "raised the bar" in certain ways.
Add in Apple's plan to switch its Mac computers over ARM-powered chips later this year, and it may be that many iOS developers are re-evaluating what the iOS App ecosystem of the future will look like.
The switch to ARM-powered chips in Macs, will supposedly allow iOS and iPadOS apps to run natively on macOS in the future.
That move should create a significant expansion for how iOS and iPadOS apps can be used. I think it might make sense if developers are now thinking about new Apps that are going to run on both iPadOS and macOS.
That's my theory...
Don't mean to be a dick but it seems quite tone deaf considering there's an actual crisis and probably people actually dealing with an actual global pandemic that's actually killing thousands of human beings daily for the last few months, thus inspiring drastic changes in our daily lives .
My thing is... people are dealing with shit. Lives have been altered substantially which alters the ability to build an app... or even give a shit about an app.
Every time @giku_beepstreet releases a free update to Drambo it feels like a new app to me. That's a win!
I do think that tools like Drambo and Mozaic are muting my interest in new apps. (Not to mention I look at all the apps I have that I have pledged to learn and use but haven't gotten to yet.) I wonder if the presence of Drambo or Mozaic causes some developers to shy away from a new app--I mean, the number of MIDI generator and MIDI FX apps does seem to have slowed down a bit since Mozaic came along. And, with wizards like @_ki and @wim and others helping noobs, it does feel like A LOT can be accomplished with Mozaic these days.
As for the iPad as an instrument--using the touch screen and all that--it's the biggest head scratcher to me. So, powerful and there was a flurry of innovation that just... sputtered out? Perhaps electronic musicians are just as conservative as guitar players and drummers. If the controller doesn't have buttons or faders or whatever, it's just not "right" as an instrument for making sound, I guess.
I’d think so. It would be a very fun and easy workflow for getting beats started. And iOS certainly does seem to be a growing platform for beatmakers and “bedroom producers”.
A) I don’t think you meant to not be a dick. If you did, you kind of failed. Not sure where the hostility is coming from. I’m not bashing anyone or complaining. It was stated as a point of curiosity.
B ) I’m sure most people don’t literally spend all of their time sitting around fretting about something they can’t do anything about. If you do, that’s cool. But there are plenty of other people who are sitting around with jack shit to do because they can’t go anywhere. People need things to occupy their time. What do creators do with free time? They create.
C) I know plenty well that Covid exists and is changing the way everything is done. I live in Florida, we’re at the epicenter of the pandemic in the U.S. last I checked.
D) If you want to start a fight with someone because you think they’re ignorant or tone deaf, there are plenty of right-wing, willfully ignorant fucks out there who think this is a hoax until they catch it and die. Go after them. I’m not your huckleberry.
Maybe I’m just old but I’ve come to love the AUM environment. Always start from scratch and it doesn’t feel cumbersome at all.
I totally agree. I understand AUM, it just works, I can slot in whatever is the new best thing this week, and from a blank sheet be up and recording something in seconds, never the same setup twice.
AUM transformed me from somebody who noodled with hardware for over thirty years without ever completing anything to someone who has completed more than 20 tracks, and had them listened to by strangers over 4000 times on SoundCloud, something which truly astonishes me. ( here, if you’re interested: https://soundcloud.com/irena-svetlovska)
Particularly since I still can’t actually play anything!
(Should you listen, you may agree
)
I have Drambo, and Mirack, and much else besides, and I love the idea that one day I might feel as fluent inside each of these marvels as I do in AUM, but I know that I’m lazy too, and would rather be completing actual tracks built out of basic, easy to understand single apps bolted together in new and interesting ways inside AUM than grasping yet another complex and particular workflow.
Now, if only @j_liljedahl would agree to adding editable automation into AUM, everything would be perfect
The thing I'm struggling most with is the glitchy unbstableness of iOS (on my pro 2017) and currently mediocre file system, this has to improve and hoping that this overall move to Apple silicon will help. I think the ARM macs is good news for iOS and hopefully should benefit it as they put more resources into the platform.
I don't really feel any need for more apps than I have but I am running into performance barriers a lot. this multi thread potential if true, could let us have the performance we should be getting from these chips....
Woah, woah woah. Fight? Maaaaaaaaaaaaan calm TF down.
My problem with Drambo is I don’t like building everything scratch to start. Don’t like the way browsing presets works currently either. I’d like to build like one solid workhorse synth preset in there and always have it loaded up I guess but that urge to just endlessly tweak shit really doesn’t go away when using Drambo for me. Lol it’s too robust, too many options. If only I was better at setting boundaries for myself I could use that app
Yeah, it feels like it's about time for a new Klevgrand to drop at least. Those are usually like clockwork. Then an Audio Damage will drop within the same week, then another Eventide effect...then it'll all feel normal again.
@oat_phipps 😂😂
I can't speak for other devs, but this whole pandemic has had quite an impact on my creativity. All the negativity and gloom around me is not helpful for coming up with and creating playful things. So it's not just a matter of available time. At least for me.
That’s definitely fair. Hoping things clear up and you can feel inspired again. Not going to give up on one day seeing a Brambos groovebox 😉
I feel exactly that way
Yes, yes (in Doug’s voice)
It is totally mind boggling that touch screen is not being utilised to its full creative potential. Maybe the collective we, humans are resistant to change. It is one thing dreaming in awe while watching Tom Cruise in minority report going crazy on the touch screen and another actually re learning our modus operandi?
I’m hoping Drambo @giku_beepstreet will yet again come to the rescue as full screen control surface is planned. I don’t mean flash stuff like TC 11 but minimalistic yet clever stuff like Samplr which to this day remains at the apex of touch screen innovation after so many years since release.
I don’t thing this is iOS exclusive trend though. I have ‘midi controller’ saved in my eBay search and all I get to look at are the old sweaty keys with knobs and pads. I guess it takes courage and risk to make something truly innovative or simply do it as a side project like Marcos. So much easier done with software than hardware though.
I do hope that @giku_beepstreet takes on the full screen control surface at some point because he's the sort of "I'm doing it my way" developer who will apply a unique vision to using the touch screen (a la Marcos). Here's hoping!
I hear ya. Inspiration can be a tricky fella when the chips are down. I find it sometimes helps to click through somebody else's inspiration pile or listen to live radio, or look out of a different window.
Or watch a rollercoaster video.
Disappointed that this isn’t news about a new Stevie Wonder cover version
Calm down, man. I didn't even buy WOTT and Mononoke yet
Just kidding mate, I get you. I'm a designer and my whole team is still working (because we have to deliver a big project) but at a really slow pace. Everyone got bummed down a lot
