    Blocs Wave.

    Took me a while to get into it but what a work of genius of an app -- from light 2 minute dabbles to 6 hour deep dives. Not such a huge fan of Launchpad but it's undeniably a good platform to transfer loops into for performance/synch with external hardware.

    Blocks does not have icloud sync right???

    I’m a big fan of BlocsWave on the iPhone. I rarely use it if ever on my iPad though.

    What I do is save loops and stems I make in all sorts of different apps into folders on my iCloud Drive and then I dump them into BW on my iPhone in batches for use later. Sometimes I use BW to start something new, but often it’s to try out arrangement ideas with stems from other apps.

    When I have something going in BW on my iPhone that I like I re-export the whole project as stems back to iCloud Drive. This saves all the loops ready time stretched and pitch shifted.

    As Blocs saves the loops with numbers indicating the track and scene (i.e. 1-1, 3-2 etc) it’s easy to make sections in your daw of choice to flesh out the arrangement.

    BlocsWave has done its job at this point so it’s on to the next project from there, although sometimes the song will go back to BW at some point.

    I don’t worry about transferring the BW project to iPad. It’s the combination of Blocs and my iPhone that I like so much, especially as I always have my AirPods with me too and BW works perfectly with AirPods —latency is only an issue if you’re trying to sequence slices of a loop.

    If I want to start something completely new I will often start with NS2 on my iPhone. I tend to work on one section at a time on my iPhone and then export the stems.

    But nothing beats BW on an iPhone for jamming out arrangement ideas for me as I can do this whenever i have a spare 5 minutes. I rarely get more than 5 mins these days!! :lol:

    Garage Band, Gadget, Drambo in order of complexity.

    Loopy if you’re into audio looping.

    I can't stand using DAW apps on the phone.

    Thanks everyone for the ideas. I appreciate you all!!!

    I always prefer my iPhone since the iPhone 4 over iPads when it comes to iOS.
    Now using an iPhone 6s Plus (with broken screen since a while but still works).
    Since I anyway cannot really play 2 hand chords on an iPad I much prefer the iPhone in terms of expression since the 6S plus still had the 3D Touch.
    In the past I also made lots of tracks with just NanoStudio and a few apps on my iPhone 4.
    Now I migrated mostly to Mac but still like to integrate my iPhone apps and also using the iPhone as excellent, versatile and expressive midi controller as well.
    Sadly anyway beside some of the older apps or some really unique ones, multi.touch is more of an afterthought these days in many apps, so I lost a bit interest in the whole multi-touch thing as only input source.
    So my iPhone is still my iOS connection to music apps since I do not think I will buy an iPad anymore since the MacBook M1 gives me similar options (and even multi-touch via the trackpad and Touch Bar) while apps I really love for multi-touch and direct on screen control works anyway almost better for me on my iPhone. Apps like ThumbJam, Animoog, etc, where I anyway not need more than 5 inputs at the same time and just using one hand mostly.
    But I also get older and evolved in what I do and so I also would not use any DAW on my iPhone anymore. Its indeed more of an extended controller, sound source, mobile recorder these days.
    For me its a good combo since an iPad on top would cross too much which is covered with my iPhone and iPad but at the same time could not replace them.
    But if my iPhone 6s Plus ever dies completely I am not sure I want a newer model without headphone jack and all the bloat I do not need in a phone. I might would buy the same model again.

    It’s interesting reading some of these comments. I know for most of us the iPad provides a better screen size which is easier to maneuver. But I think for many of us the iPhones could be more powerful

    If straining your eyes is an issue then the only apps I have with a fisher price interface are DM1, Filtatron and maybe Animoog. Not popular apps (I love them) though. Creative restrictions are always a good thing I think.

    This is pretty much my use case too, with workflow variations. Nothing else on iOS has given me this vibe apart from Blocs -- they totally nailed practical smartphone music production with this.

    @Tarekith : Boy, that is SERIOUSLY impressive ! I was asleep on Auxy. Perhaps I need to give it a good consideration!

    Thank you. Honestly it was right after this I personally think Auxy changed for the worse, so I really don't use it much anymore. They took away the brilliant Transitions function in favor of more fiddly automation, and searching for sounds is a lot more difficult too. A lot of people really like it still, but it went from being fun and easy to use to sketch ideas to being a little too fiddly with the new features for me.

    Plus it's subscription-based now, soo...... no. Shame, it was brilliant for awhile.

    These days I rock Groovebox more than anything else on my phone.

    Koala is really good on an iPhone.

    For sure- and groovebox as well.

  • iammaneiammane

    Agree with many folks here. Most apps are just better on the iPad (more screen real estate), but I’d totally agree I prefer Auxy on the phone, Blocs Wave on the phone and GarageBand is equally workable on phone and iPad imo. NS2 also, Cubasis 3 is not a total nightmare on a phone.

    And then everything else is just a better experience on the bigger screen, again, imo.

    @Thats too bad .. Sorry to hear that but I may try it anyway, who knows they may bring transitions back. Seems to have a lot of sounds though and the subscription is around $50 a year so it’s not too bad .

    I quit using my phone for music shortly after I first got an iPad. Screen size, lack of universal apps make it not worth it, no matter how cool of an idea it may seem to be able to create on such a cute-sized device. Voice memos is the only "music" app I have on my phone, and it's still the most valuable and all I need.
