Hi everybody,
I first spent many time to read this interesting forum and at the end today I register to be more active, to share what my experience and learn in a positive collaboration so I will be nice to make also contacts.
More about me :
1) English is not my mother tongue but I was studying in London University , got a BA) so hope it will be ok .
2) I am over 40 year old , I live in Europe, Belgium and spend , when I can , many time in Berlin ( Germany) , as I love the vibes ( including music creativity vibes ) that make Berlin ADN.
3) my background is very simple , I was an advanced dev engineer ( not at all involved in audio app ) and I don’t work anymore so I am more focus on my hobby doing Electro music from industrial techno to ambient chill out , particularly on iOS. It is only a hobby but I try to make it fun and seriously.
Not into gears even if my only physical synth when I was a teenage was a Korg MS 10 not only as I was playing too with a basic Farfisa organ and a nice piano. My only gear now is a nice Yamaha PSRx 700 standalone just to relax.
Even if I don’t work anymore, I follow carefully all what happens in AI and future of dev so I can share some trend and advice with the community.
Happy to join Audio Bus Forum

Hello!
Hello @sevenape
Hi @BerlinFx welcome to the forum!
Welcome!
Thanks for your nice welcome @craftycurate and @Slush
Welcome! Do you release your music anywhere?
Hi @FastGhost , I have a soundcloud space BerlinFx but only old experience on it , not happy with these musics , I use it just to heard how it is on soundcloud. I am not sharing my music really , I need to improve my composer skill . I like to do some private jam with friends in electro in Berlin but I don’t record my jams in Berlin underground. It will evolve in the future.
Glad you’re here @BerlinFx.
Hi @LinearLineman happy to share with you in the future in this forum
Welcome to the forum. You are lucky, Belgium and Berlin are two great places to share your life with

Welcome!
+1 thanks @Blipsford_Baubie
Thanks @JohnnyGoodyear yes House feel in electro in Detroit , Brussels and Berlin and thanks for the welcome @gusgranite ans @lasselu
Welcome! I spent a year in Leuven many years ago, many happy memories of Belgium!
I'm so glad you joined here. Welcome.
We here can help you on your journey with music creation on the iPad and/or iPhone.
So, what kind of workflow are you looking for? More of a DAW workflow, a live jam workflow, both, neither? Which app(s) do you currently use?
Hi @BerlinFx 👋🏻
New members are always welcome here 👍🏻
Hi @Gavinski Belgium is pretty cool indeed good beers good people
Gluten tag!
Thanks for the welcome @jwmmakerofmusic and @Gratouilli .
Interesting questions from @jwmmakerofmusic . Before being interested in iOS music , more fun and creative I was using Logic Pro on a MacBook, I use it less and less as I was fed up of desktops style like many that spent part of their life doing jobs in a computer during long office hours even if as dev I was on PC not Mac.
I am not a iPhone guy as screen I iPhone screen is too small for me and my eyes using my IPhone SE only to call , send sms old style. My iPhone for iOS music is limited to Koala , very nice app.
So I am definitely an IPad Ios music guy very selective on apps.
I am more on a Daw workflow at the moment and wanted to go at least for jam to AUM, I am a noobs on AUM and need to invest in time and learn from you so I should ask silly questions or basic questions.
On IPad I am in the process to use 3 Daws to keep one between Cubasis3 , NS2 and FL studios, not so easy as when I select an apps it is for use it a long time so a dev or dedicated dev team that updates , fix bugs to be sure of stability and to use it for a longtime.
My apps on iPad are solid states like a tank I got many apps on test ans stock but my minimal set up for music creation is for synth Moog D and Moog Model 15 , Fluss (granular) , Factory and Aparillo. (Got 8 other synth in testing including modular miRack.
Drum section is limited to EGDR909 (Elliot Garrage )
Effects section is selective too from music and Dev point of view (it was my job) : Gauss , Blackhole reverb (eventide) , crystalline (Baby Audio) , Alteza (FAC)
EQ : Fabfilter Pro Q3
Creative FX : Fabfilter Saturn 2
Multi bands Compressors : Fabfilter Pro C2 and Barkfilter
MIDI : AUM ( on test Mozaic and Rosetta)
Samplers : Koala and Segment (Elliott Garrage)
This is my small set up
Hi @Stuntman_mike
Hey
Welcome to the forum! Enjoy. It’s a pretty cool place.
Everyone seems pretty cool indeed @HotStrange thanks for the welcome and the same for @Kewe_Esse
Now I see. Yeah, PCs (at least Windows PCs) tended to be less-than-stellar, at least for my usage. The only good thing about Windows was FL Studio Proper (back when FL Studio was Windows-only, although it's been universal for quite some time).
Man, you can't go wrong with Koala. It's a superb sampler app. I've made a couple beats in it, but where Koala really shines for me is the ability to create live Ambient within it!
I'm a bit of the opposite I admit. I'm an iPad iOS music guy, but I have a whole bunch of apps in my toolkit. Some apps I haven't used for months because they don't fit the genre I currently produce. Some apps gather virtual dust when I become bored of them.
Ask both basic questions AND silly questions. There is no such thing as a stupid question mate. You do have Audioshare, right? It works in tandem with AUM since AUM records directly to Audioshare. ( @j_liljedahl is definitely one of our heroes! He crafted both apps.)
Last summer I produced nothing but Ambient of all sorts of flavours from experimental to tonal and everything inbetween.
I love and use all three of those DAW apps. Now NS2 has no audio tracks, and the dev is dedicated to bugfix updates but that's about it. NS2 is great for producing Lofi and EDM and beat-based genres, but it isn't really conducive for producing Ambient if you wish to use long field recordings.
Cubasis 3 is the most DAW-like app on iOS next to Audio Evolution Mobile. (I have precious little experience with AEM, so I wouldn't be able to guide you with using that one.) I usually use Cubasis 3 to craft VERY long Ambient pieces when I am crunched for time, lol. (Although I prefer to produce my long Ambient pieces live in AUM, but as I said, when crunched for time, I "cheat" and use Cubasis 3. 😂 ) @LFS and the crew are always on top of things.
FL Studio Mobile is completely underrated and overlooked, but it has so many features in it. Now I admit I've yet to produce Ambient in it, but its reverbs are sublime as well as its other effects. It just keeps getting better and better and better.
I need to get Factory. I keep hearing nothing but great things about it. I think I have Aparillo but never played with it yet. For shame, Jim, for shame! (Yeah, my name is Jim. )
You have an amazing selection of apps, ESPECIALLY all the right reverbs needed. However, I would suggest a handful more apps to look into. The first two cost money, the other two are free.
First, I would suggest getting Rymdigare. It's a creative fx, but it's just so unusual and wonderful and marvellous! I haven't used Rymdigare in Cubasis 3 (at least not yet), but it's one of those apps that just begs to be fiddled with in a live AUM setup.

And Velvet Machine is another app I'd suggest for your Creative FX. I don't know how to describe it really. In a way it's like a reverb, but then again it isn't. It blurs audio and follows an adjustable volume envelope. Maybe one of the other mates here know how to describe it better than me since I'm not always good with words as I am with producing music, lol.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/velvet-machine/id1534554750
One free app I will suggest you use is PaulXStretch. This is one of my "bread and butter" apps that I simply can't live without when it comes to crafting Ambient. ^_^ It takes audio and stretches it, pitches it, does other creative things with audio, etc, and it's free. You have @sonosaurus to thank for that one.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/paulxstretch/id1619014008
And finally, Pitch Drift to add subtle "tape warble" effects, and it's also free.

Hope this helps mate.
@BerlinFx welcome! nice to have you here.
since you mention AI, i'll bite... Any music related AI news or Apps / Programs that have caught your attention lately?
Greetings @BerlinFx
Thanks @shinyisshiny and @Proppa . To reply to you @shinyisshiny about AI applied to music or music apps no interesting news or release actually that are game changer.
Hi, here's a blog I like about music and AI, maybe interesting:
