Have you ever calculated how much you spent on the apps ?
I spent $ 375 ,still Increasing

No.
Would have had a heart attack if I had done so. Now I would just wish I had bought bitcoin with it 🤣
No, that's not a good idea.
Would a definitely have been in the range of several thousand pounds I reckon
🛑
No, and it's more than $375
Haha I've asked myself that question a couple of times, but it's not a good idea to know the answer 🙈😆
Can we ban this terrorist? I am needlessly terrified. What if this information became public. The opportunities for public shaming and extortion are enormous. Maybe I should delete the forum from my devices.
Mark this NSFH... not safe for home. She can smell fear.
Now I’m going to panic and drink too much.
Can we contact @michael and would he understand our panic? Maybe it’s just me.
“What’s wrong dear?”
“I’m worried about the mid-terms.”
(She’s a political junkie).
I thought it was hundreds, but apparently I’ve been good at getting everything on sale and introductory prices. 😂 Seems like maybe $200. Don’t ask me how much I’ve spent on gear during the early months of quarantine. 🤦♂️
cheers
I don’t want to know
$1000+ over 3 years. Cheaper than coke.
True. And the store brand is cheaper yet. I like the liter bottles and a foot long straw. Do you use a straw with your cokes? Avoids sending bubbles up your nose.
More than I spent on macOS apps, that's for sure... but you might as well add up the device costs too.
Glad to push the envelope forward. Now if we could just get lower latency and multichannel aggregate interface support...
For good or bad I’ve been buying apps for 10 years. Amortized over that amount of time I think it’s about the same amount I’ve payed for coffee over the same number of years and less than what I’ve paid for eating out so…
I’m ok with the most inexpensive entry point to synthesis and electronic music outside the cost of the phone/pad
Cheaper than the desktop for good or bad
A lot, I’m sure but... it’s been a decade.
I’ve definitely landed myself a few absolute duds but for the most part it’s been money happily spent. Even apps I didn’t really wind up using I enjoyed for at least as long as I generally enjoy a cup of coffee (pretty much on par with the average asking price of apps I buy).
I don’t really want to know my app spend total but nor do I really want to know the total of my bar tab (etc) over the last decade either. Or, like, how much I’ve wasted on leaving lights on over the last 10 years or not buying bitcoins 10 years ago or...
Meh, whatever the number may be it would pale in comparison to what I’ve spent on desktop software. Ipad apps are super cheap. Ludicrously so in fact.
IOS is child’s play in the world music gear spending. I’m sitting here staring at a synth thats easily more than my ipad pro 12.9 w/ all apps on it. Most iOS music apps are like the price of a cup of coffee or a sandwich.
Now the truly scary calculation would be what I’ve spent on HARDWARE over the decades. Synths, samplers, sequencers, drum machines, mixing consoles, outboard, fx units.....and OMG the cables!!!! 😳 I think I need to lay down.
Same here, it’s been 10 years of appoholism... I remember buying Impaktor and being so fascinated by the technology involved. Even though the IOS music scene has very much evolved since then, I spend much much less throughout the Year.
I grabbed a second hand APC key 25 lately. Can this be mapped to ATOM 2? (the apoholic in me appears again to surface)
Are we counting IAPs ?
Oh god. The cables.
Do you reeeeally want to know your own sum and more importantly: why? (morbid curiosity, I know, I know).
Since becoming a parent I’ve had to adjust to $ suddenly and unexpectedly flying out the window on a regular basis. The upside of this - selfishly speaking - is that it puts the relative peanuts of iOS indulgences into perspective.
Both “problems” mentioned are absolute blessings to have.
I have spent over ten times more on instant abandonware (hardware)
Yeah, like most I really don’t want to know just how much I’ve spent over the years on myriad apps.
However, I can honestly say for the most part that every app I’ve purchased has been an incredible improvement over the same types of apps I purchased in the past.
The imagination, creative skill, and sheer ingenuity developers have gifted us have allowed all of us (for a few hundred dollars) to thrive in a creative environment the greatest rock stars of the 60’s and 70’s could only dream of.
Think hard about that the next time you feel obligated to complain about a missing feature on the app you paid pocket change for...
I like to justify it a bit by helping to support “the scene” much like the shareware days of the back in the day.
Good devs deserve to be rewarded.
Apple dongles on the other hand can get ****ed.

There have been similar threads here through the years. Some have reportedly spent thousands, and the "cup of coffee" analogy is ever present. Here's one example from 2017 - https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/20923/how-much-have-you-spent-on-music-apps-total
All I know since getting into modular is that each ‘app’ (module) there is exponentially more expensive than an equivalent iPad app which can probably do more or less the same thing. Yes,yes. I’m doomed. Oh, and I bought the apps. Which ones? Pretty much all of them. Definitely doomed.
I have spent the equivalent of an amazing hardware synth, that still could not do what we can do with our collective apps.
No, I never made that calculation it would made me very unhappy. But I am happy with the apps that I’ve got. Besides all the apps, last year I invested in a hardware setup with a Grandmother, Eurorack stuff and MPC One. The MPC is for sequencing and I use and Expert Sleepers ES-9 to get sounds to and from my iPad/Eurorack to the MPC. The ES-9 also enables me to bounce audio and CV/gate from and to my iPad so I can use hardware synths, filters and software effects or sequencers together. Keep in mind I’m not a musician, I just bleep and blop and having fun with it. That’s the main goal that is achieved.
I remember last time my landlady wanted to raisey rent and said, 'it's only the cost of a cup of coffee per day'.well, if it is so insignificant, why even bother raising it, I said? Every time anyone compares anything to the cost of a cup of coffee a day, I know they are trying to fleece me lol
