    Garageband is probably next as it's crazy for a free product.

    ahh right, and of course there is that.

    yea I feel like we sometimes forget that a fully equipped studio with a quality sampler, iaa and auv compatibility, loops/drummer, and built-in fx/instruments comes included on our iPad. It's also universal and can transfer to PC.

    It's a beast lol

    Seems like it. I am sure it has changed and grown but I tried to use it a few times over the years and there was always some weird ‘oh right that’, and then I uninstall it. Can it export stems now without a mute/solo workflow?

    don't think so.

    If you really wanna entice someone, show'em something that is beautiful, cool and also fun! Definitely, do not show ugly apps no matter how powerful they are (you might turn them off instead of enticing them into iOS music).

    GarageBand for instant gratification - nothing can beat its Drummer, Beat Sequencer, Live Loops, Drums, Smart Instruments, World Instruments, Audio Library and the list goes on... (audio tracks included). GB may have an issue/shortcoming or two but which other app doesn't have issues/shortcomings?

    (Yeah, this is coming from someone who loves Cubasis)

    The app that blew me away years back - thumbjam ... all touch screen and all useful space ... just a pristine classic ... impresses even the least musical ... I've seen a lot of smiling kids making their first music ever on this little gizmo.

    dRambo.
    Tried and tested.

    I've shown other apps including BM 3 which inspired a music couple
    that I know to ditch their computer and focus on using their iPad.

    I've been showing professional sound engineers and musicians what you can do with iOS.
    Every one of them has been impressed.

    My most recent little dRambo project is a
    playable 16 step drum sequencer for the LP X.

    I showed it to a pro sound engineer friend of mine that
    I've known almost all of my career and his was reaction ,"🤘🏻Awesome".
    I replied back ,"🤘🏽".

    So, about that playable 16 step drum sequencer…

    TC-11. Spacecraft, Borderlands, Voco, Animoog, Samplr, Gestrument, being able to draw partials with your fingers in real time in some Virsyn apps like microTera, Thumbjam, Geoshred, Shoom, Gadget to name a few that immediately come to mind.

    Personally, I start with free or low cost apps.
    Koala has been my go to and it’s been a great conversation starter during my time in college. Told a classmate of mine that I could make a song with anything. Got Koala, recorded their voiceover, added a few random samples, and made a beat.

    Next one is Figure. Super intuitive…just tap the screen and record. The alternative for Android is Beatonal.

    Blocs Wave into Ampify Launchpad is the next one. Pick loops you like, instantly turns into a song.

    Then if they’re looking for something advanced, I start with Garageband to get an idea of what they know. Then, I can either show them Gadget 2, Nanostudio 2, Beatmaker, Cubasis, Drambo, AUM, or Zenbeats (Android)

    Drambo for showing something original

    Cubasis 3 for showing an alternative to desktop

    I know that this is basically blasphemy on this site but I haven’t ever used or even looked at Drambo. I knew many would choose it though!

  • rudrud

    Touchscaper. I show it to music teachers that I work with and it blows them away. Touchscreen playability, a drum and synth sequencer and the smart arpeggiator (it was the first arpeggiator I used and others seem daft in comparison).
    I create a chord progression, route it to pure piano and play the most wonderful tunes that I could never play on a real piano.

  • sevenapesevenape

    Koala sampler. It’s pretty much amazing

    I wouldn't worry, more than enough great apps to use and never touch drambo. I have 3 different setups with drambo, aum and cubasis and would be happy making music with either one 😀

    The main thing that a tablet offers over desktop is the touch screen. GeoShred is probably the app that makes the best use of the touch screen.

    Other advantages are app pricing that is like 90% more affordable, and the get-grooving-quick fun factor (e.g., Gadget, Beathawk, etc.)

    Tonaly, Animoog, GeoShred, Symphonia are cool too

  • reasOnereasOne

    Beat maker 3 if they like the 16 pad approach

    Zenbeats is they want something like Ableton
    Has audio tracks, clip launching and your standard timeline

    Borderlands has sent many to iOS!
    Original Beatmaker sent me…
    GarageBand definitely.

    Exactly. This 100%.

    Semi modular combos?

    More interesting than a Daw. More interesting than a keyboard synth. More interesting than granular. More interesting than expressive screen apps.

    Sound wise best. Easier than modular.

    Depends. If you want to show practical usability, Garageband it is. Universal, free, amazingly powerful.

    But if you just want to blow minds, go for Borderlands, Touchscaper or some other extravagant touchscreen app. :)

    Yes, it has to be a touchscreen app. DrumJam would be my top choice. Obviously Animoog, GeoShred, Thumbjam, Samplr, etc. are all in the running.

  • McDMcD

    Impaktor, Roli Seaboard or Kaosilator to try and suck someone in with a single app.

  • BroCoastBroCoast

    Animoog is the one that every person wants to have a play with.

    Having the Eventide FX on my phone tends to get musicians excited.

    Hmmm, interesting that no-one has mentioned 'Flip', wasn't it supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread? 🤔😋
