a bit late for an introduction, but here it is
Hello everybody, I tend to avoid forums and social media, but was reading many interesting posts here, so I gave it a try a few weeks ago and like it here. Reading the new member thread of @BerlinFx (Hi) made me realize, I don't know the forum etiquette so well, and it may be interesting to know, who you're talking to.
I used to play bass in two punkish/poppish bands a while ago and before Corona came along enjoyed going to open multicultural jam sessions.
I actually make a little money with music, teaching kids, partly trying to turn them on to play in a band (you might hear a lot of two 11 year olds by the name of Bubble and Trouble - they're bound to top the charts next Friday) and organizing a workshop for psychically challenged people.
I love noodling around, I like to think it sounds like Krautrock, but hardly ever finish my stuff, maybe that will change some time, if not, I still love it. Got my first iPhone explicitly for music 2 years ago and right away fell in love with the immediacy of the touch interface and the awesome apps there are, so last year I got an iPad and liked it even more.
I'm an Ableton user, and try to combine my mobile devices with it to get the best of both worlds.
So, that's me

Welcome. Time for an iPad!
@LinearLineman Thanks, I have one for about a year, not a very powerful one (standard 2019 bought used) but it serves me well.
@tja thanks and sorry, but it seemed to fit that category best. What would have been a better fit?
There is no better fit, I’m afraid. We need off topic back with a politics ban. @Michael ? Oh, and nothing wrong at all with 2019 iPad. I think my pro2 is 2016. That and Cubasis allowed me to make 800 tracks in 5 years.
Yeah, I wish there was a politics ban for the jam sessions I used to go to, then I might come back to them;) some people around me never recovered from the Corona craze and keep finding new topics to go nuts about...
@tyslothrop1 👋
Welcome to the forum!
Hi @tyslothrop1 had same problem , where to put something about me as a new member ??? Searching first for a « presentation » section …. Perhaps an idea to avoid to flood music app sections ??
@gusgranite @HotStrange @BerlinFx Thanks
@LinearLineman 800 finished pieces, wow impressive. I mean I do have many things, that could have been;) so far my iPad hasn't reached it's limit, In the worst case I can always get my tracks into Ableton one by one to mix. Maybe at some point it won't run some new CPU hungry apps, but so far it's alright.
Welcome and cheers @tyslothrop1
Hello @tyslothrop1
@Poppadocrock @Proppa thanks:)
Welcome, @tyslothrop1 . You will find lots of information and talented, helpful people here.
@AlterEgo_UK thanks, yeah that's my impression too:)
Welcome! Great to be getting fresh blood here! 👻
Hi @tyslothrop1 👋🏻
I see iOS "music makers community" growing fast around me, and the new "price strategy" adopted by devs tends to upgrade our beloved platform! I think it's good news for what we can expect next 😎 (come on Apple, everything and everybody are prepared to welcome Logic on IOS 🤞🏻)
@Gavinski thanks, I watched quite a couple of your longer, spoken videos and always found them most useful. Bit of a pity, you speak less in your newer ones. Do what you enjoy most, of course.
I don't know if I "see well", but I think that Gav's previous long and detailed demos/tutorials took him a HUGE amount of time to cook... for very limited "rewards" ; as for devs, it's iOS's challenge to become a more than just a hobby platform in the futur.
@Gratouilli thanks. Yes, if the quality holds up , I'm all for higher prices, seeing they're mostly still quite cheap. I still like myself a good deal though and some subpar apps might be sold at weirdly high prices. All in all I guess it helps keeping my GAS at bay, too. If a big DAW came to IOS, I would prefer Ableton, although I think having it on my way more powerful PC makes more sense right now.
@Gratouilli
Sure thing, not trying to tell anybody, what to do. Just showing appreciation for his work, that clearly was a big investment in time and probably not a lot of money in return.
Yes, YouTube pays so badly and so few people donate, it's sadly not really worth my time making detailed spoken walkthroughs, and the benefits for me on a personal level have become less and less over the years. I'd rather make music than spend all my time learning new apps and then moving on to the next one. If it actually paid properly, that would be worth my sacrifice of time and alternative means to make money, otherwise no. I'm considering making a patreon where any or at least most future spoken word videos will appear behind a paywall. YouTube is a completely unworkable model. I'll leave the old spoken videos on YouTube, I think, but only patrons will have access to new spoken word detailed tutorials. This is my thought, currently anyway. Another possibility might be to only do sponsored spoken word videos on YouTube, but I suspect that probably wouldn't work either. Let's see. Cheers!
@Gavinski All the best for your plans, I hope they work out for you.
Thanks!
Thanks for all your tutorials videos you did @Gavinski , everybody now need to adapt its business model not only for iOS music.
Even Apple need to tune its business model …
@Gratouilli but never you will have Logic on iOS even if Tim Cook decide to put Logic on IPad the more genius dev of the team will tell him the true , we are not able technically to have Logic Pro X same as destop working fully IPad ios. This is why the dev created Logic Remote control on Ipad.
The best to expect from Apple is to improve mixing and add a master control on GarageBand and a full featured Achemy synth on GB.
My feeling is that a one step , Apple will move in some years to a new operating system to push the sell of M2 or in some years even M3 M5 Mx Pro whatever highend IPad and so will develop a new DAW concept not a Logic Pro for IPad . Apple is a hardware company not a software, software need to push the sales to highend IPad and IPad sales drop now even IPhones sales are dropping this is now what is the problem of Apple.
@BerlinFx , what you write makes sense but kind of condemns iOS music production to stay (quite) far behind from what our Macs (or PCs) offer.
Even if I'm glad to see devs proposing more and more "serious" apps (not to say that what we already have isn't) at a higher price level on iOS, I'm part of early iOS users that have spent massive €uros over the years on way many too cheap apps that, whitout a real bump in stability and functionalities, may stop my iOS spendings… which I've already more than slowed down.
For real, I can say that in a hobby vision, I have more than plenty of fun tools in all genres to acheive interesting things, but I too often have to struggle to get where I want or need with crashes and limits that I almost always end up in logic to stop wasting time ; that's a fact.
Hello @tyslothrop1 welcome to the forum
@knewspeak Thanks.
And thanks again to all for the warm welcome. Nice place you've got here
@Gratouilli the future is really good for iOS music on IPad more and more you got the best dev team working on it like Fabfilter, steinberg that have a great team for Cubasis , Baby Audio and more and more to quote.
I think that the future of great apps is not coming of hardware music maker like Korg , Yamaha, Roland … but from some top VST company in the style of Fabfilter, Baby audio dedicated to the pro market with stability and quick bug fixing and able to make the most of the wonderful GUI and workflow of IPad.
There are no space anymore low end dev but a real opportunity for the best one to make a better living and to do pro level hobby music you need no more than 20 very good apps. AB and AUM are perfect examples of what can do a top dev focus on a point.
We don’t need Logic on IPad we need a better Daw than Logic on IPad.
Hello and welcome, @tyslothrop1 . Glad to have you here.
