    Personally I think the skew here towards older users has more to do with the fact we're on a "forum" versus FB or IG. I have feeling the majority of people using iOS music apps are younger than us old farts, they just hang out in the newer playgrounds to discuss it.

    Can you define "proper musicians"?

    That’s easy, anone who puts bread on the table from playing/composing/writing/singing.

    YAY! I'm proper. At least partly. Though that's on guitar with actual amp... but there might be iPad crossover one day. There was guitar with laptop gigging for $ for a little while.

    Your initial post in this thread complained about boomers, but that's totally what you sound like, just coming from a slightly different angle. Speaking as a boomer (only just!) myself.

    It all comes across a bit Karen...

  • 33 here. Glad to see a bit of variety.

    Asking someone to define what a proper musician is, is almost like inviting an argument. Obviously everyone has a different point of view on what something as vague as a "proper musician" is, at least to some extent. Getting upset when their definition is not analogous to yours seems equally odd.

    I doubt anyone is lathered up over a difference in definition so much as the condescending BS on display. I could go on and on about some amazing musicians I know who no longer get paid to play but what's the point if someone's goal is to feel (falsely) superior rather than make a cogent point?

    I think there was at least a little lathering. If the falsely superior and condescending comments are about me (not saying they are) then that's way off. In fact I suffer from extremely low self esteem and and can't even imagine what superiority would feel like. Forums are rough places considering 70 to 93% of communication is non verbal. I can honestly say nothing in this thread came across to me as condescending or superior. If that was the intention sorry I missed it. In most cases, from what I've been lead to believe, the way people feel about a statement is entirely on the individual rather than the deliverer.

  • @ehehehe - post your music / curious what proper music sounds like

    Also, your knowledge of the music industry and/or music creation is slightly distorted

    In my day we had leaded gasoline and had to use quarters to call someone while we were away from home.

    Someone in my town drives an old Land Rover and they obviously use leaded gas because the smell of the exhaust takes me right back to my childhood. It’s actually quite nice. ☠️😆

    It’s more than likely just the unburnt hydrocarbons as opposed to the lead you smell. You don’t get that odor from newer cars because they are way more efficient with computer controls and fuel injection instead of a carburetor.

    That smell has a nostalgia in my memories too, so I know what you mean. Back in the day I used to kind of enjoy the smell of exhaust especially when it’s cold and snowy out.

    Today that memory is peppered with some regret as I now live in a different state of the union and climate change from carbon pollution leaves ash in the air from a multitude giant fires.

    Echoes of now

    Today is a day in a long list of todays, full of ordinary banality, and the immeasurable miracle and small curse of just being. It is mixing with other todays now yesterdays, like the smells of jasmine and unburnt petroleum, heady, sweet, and repulsively familiar.

    95% men I guess?

    If I was a woman even on a pleasant forum like this I’d be reserved in letting people know I was female. So much harassment everywhere. I’m glad there are some notable, participatory, and very talented women here though like @Lady_App_titude. I’d welcome even more. I look foreword to the next decades as women gain the recognition and pay they’ve always deserved.

    1. Not a proper musician. Not a musician at all, really. (Drummer. Make your own jokes.) Still made over 20 tracks so far, got over 4,500 listens on SoundCloud in the two years since I started with this IOS ting, having a whale of a time. Last month, I also decided to try to learn to play guitar. Because why the hell not? I’m rubbish at it. I don’t care. :)
  • I’m 37. Music is my profession, my passion, and my obsession. I love that there are adults on this forum and that (most of the time) it doesn’t read like a 15 year old bully’s lunch table. I love that there are professionals and hobbyists on this forum. I love that on this forum there are 25 year old aspiring producers and 65 year old vintage synth collectors helping each other. This is a community of extremely knowledgeable music makers and it’s my first stop for when I need to learn something.

    It’s easy to be negative, demeaning, petty, and petulant when you’re on the internet hiding behind a semi anonymous persona in the comments section of a forum. Nobody is gonna find your house and give you a beat down, thus trolls have no fear. Nevertheless, I choose to learn and to be a positive and helpful participant, and there’s an encouraging tendency from most of the forum members to do the same.

    Not a professional, but music is a bit of an obsession for me.

    There is a song I wish to sing

    There is a song I wish to sing
    Unwritten, it’s initial chord stands
    suspended in the breath of all,
    as Gabriel’s horn yet to resound.
    In the air, it shimmers.
    In the light, motes dance to its preternatural form.

    It percolates in the humus of the earth,
    but crumbles to white, before the order of its shape.
    It is unresolved, though the chorus of its longing
    fills every verse.

    It’s root is long and deep,
    with no mode to contain a note transubstantiated,
    heavier than death, lighter than the word.

    34 here, most musicians, performers and producers I meet in Colorado have not even heard of using AUv3 apps. And 90% of them use only Ableton, Logic or ProTools and have no hardware gear outside of a midi controller. Younger people these days see djs and producers using laptops so naturally they assume that's all they need but can't tell you what an LFO is or what the resonance knob is for on a synthesizer...

    My last band everyone used iOS devices but for maybe lyrics and stuff but no one had any idea of how useful it could be for music making (Aside from the drummer who used DM1 and Animoog for their own fun). They were surprised about AUM and how I could do a whole practice completely on the iPad just by loading the AUv3 sounds. I of course didn’t trust the iPad 100% so got a Korg Kross just for the added stability of not using software if it failed.

    This band was the youngest people I played with. All early to mid 20s. I was the only one over 30, which I’m only 34 anyway now. Um, I mean 35 time flies.

    Yes when I show anyone the capabilities of Drambo, AUM, MiRack or the such they are always blown away. But any big synth guys I know use and love the iPad.

    That’s easy, anone who puts bread on the table from playing/composing/writing/singing. The rest of us are mostly amateurs with >1000 monthly listeners max, me included. Not that I discredit bedroom/cellar players that nobody listens to. If music gives you joy, keep at it. It’s the know-it-all-commenting on ANyTHiNg that grinds my gears. In order to avoid a shitstorm I won’t pull up any examples, because the number of posts seems more important than actual musical output.

    This is so fucking stupid. For starters you can’t tell the difference between a producer, writer and musician.
    Secondly, this is a bloody iPad music forum!. Go to to the bloody Avalon compressors or Neve mixers forums if you want bread on the table.
    Lastly, at the indie musician forums, those that “put bread on the table” get reported as unicorns 🦄.

    Almost forgot. Many of the developers that make these amazing iOS apps hardly (if) put bread on the table.

    Go to Trump iOS Music for quality content.

  • Well I'm absolutely not a proper musician. I'd like to keep it that way.

    I have a cousin who is though. I was chatting to him at a family gathering, like wow must be your dream job... That face, I'll always remember. From the constant need for self promotion, the monotony of banging out unchallenging material for corporate video backing tracks (actually cash money but soul destroying), the uncertain income one month to the next, the stress of paying bills, the hustle. Nope, seemed actually quite miserable. All misty eyed when it reminiscing about the glorious days of just playing in the band for fun and beer money.

    Screw that.

    Anyway the hordes who are just tinkering are a financial lifeline to anyone producing or supplying instruments/equipment/software. Not to mention giving private tuition to not proper musicians is an oasis of regular predictable income for professionals not in the 1% bracket.

    Play for fun, you're still doing a great service to music, even if you never produce anything.

  • 59 and still not a ‘proper musician’. Up until this pandemic played cornet in our local brass band where we (god forbid) have to read music! Played guitar all my life, played trumpet in a pro band a long time ago with a modicum of success, took up sax recently, writing ambient droney stuff now after the iPad music revolution hit me. Just gone desktop with Cubase. 59 and still not a proper musician! Sod that!

  • edited October 2020

    Just turned 60 this year...can't play keyboards, guitars, wind instruments, drums, kazoos or comb and paper but having a hell of a lot of fun with the incredible stuff available for an iPad. What's important for me is that I love MUSIC - I can't imagine life without it - it's always filled my days for as long as I can remember and to be able to make my own very amateur doodlings gives me huge pleasure though I'm sure many of you would rip them to pieces for shoddy production, poor technical ability or just plain awfulness, they're MINE and in this time of worldwide uncertainty and lack of control over our lives that can't be a bad thing, can it...? 😉 Love this forum BTW...👍

    Wow. That was unexpected and super nice!.
    Yes, I’m mainly a singer/guitar, but I do it all. And I wish I didn’t!. One of the terrible things about getting older is that it becomes terribly hard to keep a band together. But yeah, I did that album in my bedroom. Thus the “no shouting” and no electric guitars (amp simulation I wanna pretend I’m somewhere else).
    Now I’m mostly playing CGB guitar (3 string thingy) and have switched to iPad (Zenbeats).
    I’m very open to collaborations!. Would love that, actually.
    As to why you haven’t come accross it, I fucking suck at marketing! 😂. I only posted this cos I was pissed off at the guy who said we weren’t real musicians.

    Now that you got me all hyped up.... Here’s a demo version of a thing I’m finishing now. 3 piece based on cgb (no bass). Kraut-fuzzy kindof.

    Really appreciate your comment. Cheers!.and, as I said, it’d be nice if we ipaders collaborated more!.

    more collabs? hell yes.

    1. since 1983 playin live beside my job. Making music on ipad is less exhausting. Can only handle Auria pro. No time and energy to learn other daws. May be logic when i retire....

    72 here. went from guitars (rock and roll dude) in high school and college to analog, digital synths and daws to fully mobile devices and apps now ( ambient scaper).

    i’m still learning and that’s why i hang out here.

    btw... one man or woman’s bleeps and bloops is another’s “ ode to joy” . music is a wide enough umbrella to cover all forms if expression without leaving someone out in the rain. no offense meant, just one old guy’s thought.

    Excellent post. Good to meet you!
