    Kai Aras apps all on sale...50% off...

    https://appsliced.co/apps?search=Kai+aras

    Definitely going to grab Tape Machine - Doug’s Soundtestroom video on it made me realize this is a must have.

    I agree it looks and sounds way cool, but does it give me much beyond what Brambos Kosmonaut does?

    I could never get Kosmonaut working well as a send fx. Tape Machine seems to me more like a “playable” instrument, less detail about what goes on with the delay, more of a broadstroke concept, with head spacing and so on. I love the feedback on it. Overall I find it very inspiring and full of character.

    Ok thanks, that’s helpful and I’m sorely tempted! Will see how much of my app bucket list is on sale and decide from there

    Now, you'll have to shuffle some things about, like the XY pad but, really, there's a huge amount of similarity, wouldn't you say?

    I know what you mean, it doesn’t bother me much. I guess if Behringer can get away with their clones, Korg is not going to bat an eye at this. But, on that note, how does GR-16 compare to Korg’s own Electribe app? Should I pick it up on the next sale?

    The Electribe app is ok. It was one of the first serious music making apps, I think. It doesn't have any connectivity though. Shame really as it has some nice sounds.

    That’s not entirely accurate - the synth engine has an AUv3 module, but you don’t get the sequencer or any of the drum sounds.

    Electribe Wave is a universal app that a while back got the AUv3 treatment and seems what @celtic_elk is talking about here.
    However, this is of newer vintage and much different to iElectribe which has been around since early iPad days and may be what @ashh is referring to. It's early connectivity was WIST and these days it is IAA - but definitely not AUv3. There are two additional variants of the iElectribe app (Gorillaz edition, and for iPhone).

    The iElectribe app is a clone of the original hardware Electribes. Electribe Wave is a software version of the Electribe 2, which was the hardware under discussion in comparison to GR-16, so I assumed that was also the Electribe app that people were referring to. Apologies for any confusion.

    @Poppadocrock - in the interest of sharing a broad swath of opinion:

    I appreciate having this one spot for checking in on the sales curation for creative outlets. I appreciate the other side of this argument, I just see it differently. Fluff is rarely shared here, so I say keep it up.

    @Poppadocrock Just keep on doin’ whatcha been doin’ already.. I think most of us dabble in other creative outlets other than just music.. appreciate ALL your posts.. 🙏 I definitely would’ve missed out on a few deals or freebies without a heads-up from you.. Many thanks.. 👍

    Agreed! I say just keep doing what you’re doing.

    Do I need Italizer?

    No. Not hating on it, just isn’t anything remarkable.

    If you compose dub, then it will be useful, but it might be less useful if you don’t.

    Expanded thought = What Italizer really is, is a two-LFO noise maker Synth for the instrument slot that also adds a simple delay AU effect as an add-on. Dub horns are sound effects, not musical per se. If you want to make sounds, there are better apps, if you want a delay there are way better apps.

    @Poppadocrock - Like I said, I understand and totally dig the free stuff and I know you understand what I was saying.

    Personally, I check https://www.reddit.com/r/AppHookup/ which lists all sorts of sales.

    But obviously, the ppl have spoken so consider me out voted. 🤣😂😁

    I mean, surely the questions are where a lot of the value of this thread comes from. If all someone needs is a list of stuff that’s currently on sale, visiting this Appsliced page daily would be more efficient

    It’s interesting that comments about the purity of a thread only serve to derail it more (as I am doing now as a result). There seems to be two schools. Those who want just nuts and bolts and those who like a little nuts mixed in with their bolts. I am of the latter persuasion.

    Does Spark exist as a standalone app? I thought it was a web app only.

    I’m pretty new here. Sorry about the chatter. Would it be better to respond to questions or comments about the apps listed as DM’s directly to the person asking? I’m cool with that if need be. No problem if that needs to be a thing.

    It's freemium, but the free tier is pretty capable.

    The App Store calls is "Adobe Spark Post: Design Maker" and it's free to download and offers
    IAP's for extra features. The intention is to drive more lemmings to the Adobe Spark subscription service. But @LinearLineman is using images he finds via Google so he's avoiding the need for licensed content to make his album cover.

    The capability to borrow images on computers is huge and re-purposing audio is also trivial.
    Just don't make enough money to get attention on your source materials. In others words,
    don't expect to make money using free tools. That's fair... most of us will never make much if anything, IMHO but the ability to publish and distribute for very little money is amazing.

    @craftycurate, I see. I was 20 years in the graphics business. Seems like this does anything I might need graphically... for my purposes, anyway. Compared to the days of photostats and typesetting it’s an insane tool in its free format.


  • SoundscaperSoundscaper

    Well I'm deeply concerned that this forum should be promoting discounted non-musical apps ... that's just encouraging people to stray ... to do something other than making music on their i gadgets. We all know where that sort of thing leads.

    Joking aside, it's pretty amazing how one can control the entire production process from first click through to album covers and public release ... without needing experts ... in fact without ever leaving the studio/den/cupboard.

    Very professional looking product - in both looks and sounds, Michael.

  • LinearLinemanLinearLineman

    Thanks @Soundscaper, I, too, have been marveling today at the extraordinary gifts afforded to me in particular, the music making community at large and especially the iOS community. I guess if you’re under 30 a lot of this is no big whoop, but for a guy who lived in the last Ice Age it is nothing short of cataclysmic.

    1. The hardware is terrific, capable and relatively inexpensive compared to the $1000 TEAC 4 track reel to reel I had in 1980 ($3000 in today’s dough maybe and no MIDI!) An okay midi controller can be had for under $200.
    2. The iPad is what, 14 yrs old? And now maybe an M1 chip?
    3. Distribution platforms like SoundCloud and BandCamp are just about free (BandCamp totally free if you're me, give it away and have no sales anyway).
    4. Graphics and album production are DIY, intensely fast and also FREE.
    5. iPad apps outrageously inexpensive.
    6. Last but not least, a vibrant musical community to be a part of.

    So, a very capable studio setup for a couple of grand and zero album production costs including distribution AND great comraderie and generous teaching. WTF is going on! It's almost beyond belief for someone my age who remembers rotary phones.

    I will offer no more off thread marvelings. I will buy GSI v2 in penance right now even tho it's not on sale... except relative to the Hammond B3-x. The universe is truly unfathomable as is a $14 B3.

    Thanks for all you do.

    Yea I actually started 2 threads at the beginning of the year, 2021 iOS app sales & 2021 iOS app sales and discussion. I wanted to keep one clean and give the other one room for brief discussion and minor tangents. But it quickly became apparent it was almost double the work, (not that this is work, but I’ll use that word in this context, probably time is more appropriate) So unfortunately the other one fell by the wayside. It Be cool if someone resurrected it though...

    With posting sales there’s always apps on the fence, so I’m actually glad you brought it up cause it’s good to see where the “line” is in terms of apps I should or shouldn’t share in this thread.

    You are very welcome. Appreciate the feedback. Cheers!
