Hey brah, whueva feeds your soul
@AudioGus, I guess I did, too. In fact I have a bunch of it hanging in our home (from 1890s to present). I love the combination of image and type. It is beautiful... but it does not go deep.. for example.
I dig it! Now this is similar to some of the stuff I look at while making music.
Sadly, there is no way I would put the things I see at work up on my walls.
I was waiting for you to show up, bro (hems my brother, but heem my capn, too) amn’t that right @CapnWillie ).
@AudioGus, ah, we agree. I repped Michael Schwab, too. You know him? Beautiful graphic artist.
37 here and it’s funny - the exact reason I never signed up for this forum for quite a while was the perception it would be a bunch of teenyboppers flexing on one another. I’d pop in when it would come up in google searches and then pop out. Sort of surprised by the age demo but more I think about it and the interactions here, more it completely adds up. Hopefully we never have to hire a bouncer to check IDs at the door!
Exactly this! Except I hope to have retired by 76 (not a given at this rate)
As @LinearLineman asks -
“ Are we not hip”?
“We are Devo”!
At 40 I was asked to be a podieum dancer at a local nightclub.
I could do 35 press ups.
Now at 62, with athuritus if end up on the floor that is where I will stay unless someone helps me up.
Thank god for the ipad though, music sequencing and this forum as saved my life.
Cheers guys
Well 62 in 6 days.
I don’t know them but I like what I see!
I recently have been looking at a lot of deco and this fellow...

Do you do the pinterest thing at all?
@Gavinski your translation of “going ham shank” is now my new favorite slang phrase. Going ham indicates one thing, going ham shank is clearly levels above.
Aww yah and to pull a ham shank on someone is super salty! Love it.
anthropology in a parallel dimension, freal.
Ha! Nice turn of phrase.
CBD cream, very much to my surprise, has pretty much solved this issue for me.
agreed that buying an ipad requires some expendable income, but i feel like the youths are certainly making beats on their iphones. And I think they may just not care for forums. I doubt this poll is representative of the entire population of ios music makers.
I'm 29 but got into ipad/ios music senior year of high school i think (maybe first year of college). First app was Loopy.
I use the oil but still in pain unfortunately.
100% oil
People in my family swear by this as a topical cream... https://www.rxlist.com/dmso_dimethylsulfoxide/supplements.htm
Dang, dude, that was post-Shakespearean. In a good way.
A lyricist i am fond of once penned the line “how young are you, how old am I; let’s count the rings around my eyes.” Seems applicable to this thread somehow.
Just turned 70, long enough to roll my office chair over my headphone cable 12, 392 times.
Favorite song: "Kooky, Kooky, Lend Me Your Comb."
Nice! What's the bit with the can though, I genuinely have no idea. 😂
@Gavinski The “sauce”
Ah, lol, so it's not my lack of hipness but lack of decent emoji that is at fault, what a relief 😌
The only other one was the spaghetti plate with the marinara and I think that one was worse or it could have launched the era of “i got that pasta” Now we’ll never now
Turned 40 recently, which is a pretty big milestone for me. I made a goal to live that long about 7 years ago, lol I know is kind of morbid.
Trying to make it to 45 now... it’s been a battle.
Discovered iOS music/iPad production while being in the hospital.
I’m 56, but it’s just a number.

Lol. My accountant would say that to me when I asked about my taxes... it’s just a number. He was good.
Happy birthday then and wish you 40 more years to celebrate outside the hospital.
I’m 53, here is my story.
I never really learned an instrument except playing African Djembé drum. In the golden age of home computers I became fascinated by computers and programming. Then I moved to Berlin to study computer science when I was 20. In the late 80s my neighbor and friend inherited some money and he built a home recording studio with an 8 track Tascam tape machine, Kawai K1, Roland R8 drum machine, a Roland space echo and an Atari ST with Cubase. I was the engineer. We usually met some musicians in a bar or on the street and then invited them to jam with us and record something - man, that was a great time.
In the 90s I became infected with the Techno virus. The reunited Berlin was bursting with creativity at the time and new clubs or bars popped up every week - usually illegal. A deserted factory here, an empty bunker there, raving dead subway tunnels. The collapsed communist east Germany left countless deserted locations and that turned the city into a playground. If you found an empty space you just kicked in the door and started doing something. The police just did nothing against this squatting, sometimes even being happy that someone started fixing things. It took years until the anarchy slowly ended and all theses locations had new private owners. I bought a PC and made Techno and Ambient tracks with a Turtle Beach sound card, Cubase Audio, Re-Birth and Hammerhead (cheers @brambos). Some of them even were used by some local DJs. I also played the Djembé in a band where we did traditional west African Malinké music. I moved to London digging the House and Garage scene, but returned to Berlin after two years.
Then I graduated and took a 9 to 5 job. I fully focused on my job as software developer. I married and had children. Music making had almost disappeared from my life except occasional drumming jams. Two years ago I bought an iPad 6 for reading comfortably on the sofa - the smartphone screen became too small for that
Then suddenly I discovered that there are tons of audio software on iOS. My kids are big now and that gave some room for a hobby.
I really love music making on the iPad - well, except the file handling. Being a software architect I spend a lot of time at a laptop and that’s why I love the iPad for my private stuff. Working is much different. Instead of programming tracks I much more record things. I much prefer the touch UIs. But best of all is that the modular approach is very common and you have a lot of choices in this field. The desktop world seems to be so narrow minded. The abundance of audio software is huge but nonetheless most people use the same software: Ableton, Bitwig or Logic and I guess everyone is using Serum, Arturia and Diva. Last but not least: the iOS musician community is just great. The musicians, the developers, the YouTubers, the preset hackers - all together.
My current setup is almost iPad only. I just use my laptop for browsing samples on my disk, loopcloud and splice. iPad 6, iConnect Audio 2+, Korg nanoKeys Studio, Launchpad X, LaunchControl XL, Arturia MicroFreak, Sennheiser IE 40 in-ear monitors. Yesterday I bought an Arturia Beatstep Pro. I hope this month I can buy the new iPad Pro. My typical workflow is centered around AUM, LK, Atom 2, Riffer, Cykle, EG Pulse, MultiTrack Recorder. Everything can be powered by power banks and when the weather is good I go out with my gear and a camping table.
How about a poll by GENDER?!
Great thread!
I’m 49. Grown up in a big family. My 2 older sisters and my older brother were ‘forced’ to take piano lessons, but they didn’t like it. My brother hated it so much that he said he will kill himself if he has to continue taking lessons, so our parents gave up finally and none of my sisters and brother had to continue. Our parents were so disappointed and tired that they didn’t even try to send me to the music school, despite I never said I wouldn’t go. So I didn’t take any lesson.
I was 9 or 10 when I fell in love with synthesizers. I listened Jean-Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, Klaus Schulze, Tangerine dream, Vangelis, they were my favourites. My classmates in the elementary school never understood my weird taste
But I don’t think I was a nerd, I had friends
My brother (he is 13 years older) saw my enthusiasm, so he bought me my first ‘synth’ a casio vl-10 which was followed by other toy casios and a 61 keys yamaha portasound later which wasn’t either a professional synth, but I loved it. I played Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Kraftwerk, JMJ songs on it.
During the high school years I used to visit the near Roland music store 2 or 3 times a week. I became familiar with Roland D50, D20 and U220 models. Synth posters were hanging on my room’s wall, I read synth brochures and dreaming that one day I buy a professional synth.
But I don’t think I was a nerd that time either, I had girlfriend(s)
I could afford my first professional synth (Roland XP80) after I finished the college and got a job.
Later I got married and got 2 fantastic children. Job also got more serious so I ended up spending zero time with my music hobby.
About 2 years ago as my kids got bigger I discovered the world of iPad music, bought an iPad and way too many apps
This became my main hobby.
But I don’t think I’m a nerd, I still have my wife
