Workflow inquiry any help greatly appreciated
Hello I hope yous are well! I have my eye on koala,grooverider & nanostudio for iOS production I’ve been using ableton for years but want something handy for on the move.
Would it be a good call to purchase all 3 apps and use them together or is that unnecessary and I would achieve a good workflow with only two? Could someone advise me on a good workflow and any extras if required such as Audio bus or AUM? Many thanks Dean

That’s a tough one to answer with not much to go on concerning what kind of music you make or how you normally approach things. No need to rush in, though. It’s best to pick one at a time and see what you feel you’re lacking.
Koala is a good choice to start with coming from Live, provided you have a sample library to draw from. It has some Simpler like capabilities, pretty decent pitch and time stretch and a looping oriented workflow. Plus you can export sessions to Live. If you don’t have samples to draw from, you’d be pretty limited without picking up a host like AUM or Audiobus and some other apps to sample from.
Groove Rider is strongly groove box inspired. If you don’t have a lot of samples then it’s a good choice since it’s packed with them and also has a decent synth. It’s huge fun, but a far cry from Live.
NanoStudio 2 is a straight-up DAW experience (but without audio tracks). If you live in
Live’s timeline and not the loop view, then maybe it’s a good fit. Obsidian is a great synth. Personally I’d go with Cubasis over NanoStudio at this point. NS2 development has been dead, dead, dead for a long time. I kind of doubt it’s ever going to get audio tracks or any other features. (I would love to be proven wrong though!)
A couple of things you might want to consider:
You’ll almost surely want Audiobus or AUM to tie thing together at some point, but there’s no rush there.
You always give great advice @wim!
Also have a look at zenbeats as it has a clip style launcher and linear daw
Great answer from wim!
Trying not to add too many options, but maybe gadget is worth a look too. Will have some limitations, but you will get a good palette of sounds already.
But to respond better, we really gotta know what do you produce...
And regarding Ableton, you use it mainly for clip launch or work linearly?
Thanks very much men really appreciate it! That’s enough info to get me up and going. 😎
