Yes, I would agree about excluding NS2 despite its strengths as a sequencer.
Zenbeats
Cubasis
They'll keep GarageBand free as an entry point for people to eventually upgrade to Logic Pro.
😅
I know which one will be on MY iPad …
Nanostudio 2 🤣
Only app in which i actually enjoy to finish whole track, and literally only daw which covers my advanced routing needs :-)
A single-choice poll is meaningless for this question.
They will all be around and receiving updates. No one is going to throw away their investment entirely just because a strong competitor comes along. They may scale their efforts back to just maintenance. Or they may work to find ways to differentiate themselves.
NS2, and it would still not have audio tracks , midi recording from plugins nor FX automation
What do you mean about Loopy Pro and audio tracks?
It has audio tracks. Currently, each clip gets sequenced on its own track in the sequencer. (Clip events on the timeline can be edits of the source clip). Also note that clips can be as long as you want. Loopy Pro standalone is actually pretty handy for recording audio tracks for NS2.
As far as I know, a more conventional track arrangement is still in the long-term plans. But other things will happen first.
This was actually a complaint someone else stated to me. I'll pass on your message to them, thnx
Maybe they were referring to Loopy HD?
There’s something interesting about a wealth of choice. I think everyone will end up gravitating to what works for them, and may also combine bits and pieces of other apps in ways that works for them.
If I had to pick one…I really like Blocs Wave. And Garageband.
That's what I usually do. NS2 has no audiotracks so I use Cubasis 3 to record vocals. Gadget is great for instrumentals and ideas. However...
...the more I learn Garageband, the more I really love it as a sketchpad environment. It syncs projects to iCloud so I can work on an idea at home and on the go.
And now with Logic Pro coming next week Tuesday, I'll be able to take those Garageband ideas and turn them into full tracks. I've started work on my next EP in Garageband.
Definitely. GarageBand was already ranked super high on my list. It will be interesting to be in a state having both Logic Pro and GarageBand accessible.
I agree! Just started a Dark Country song idea in Garageband in 6|8 time signature in A Dorian. Piano, Acoustic Guitar, really strange depressing Choirish sound, deep synth bass, smart drummer for soft drums, and a regular acoustic drumkit for the crash cymbal.
Logic
THIS! We will use the tools we prefer. I have zero interest in Logic Pro and will guess that it will seem like bloatware to me, but not for those who use it on Macs. They may love it. I won’t gainsay them. And when iOS updates break NS2, I will stop updating.
Sounds like you've gotten a second wind with the discovery of GarageBand. Glad to see you are taking to it!
This !! I have enough app for rest of my life anyway
No, this was their reply:
'Yes, Loopy Pro has audio that can be arranged using the in-built basic sequencer. But there is no way to properly edit that audio. Just the marker movement... If it did have fully editable audio tracks, in the manner of Auria Pro, then Loopy Pro could replace Auria/ Cubasis etc'
Essentially the person is claiming that 'more conventional audio tracks' was something that was on the Loopy Pro road map but was removed, so he fears it will not be added, in the same way as NS2 ended up never getting audio tracks. Anyway, this is not my battle, I don't even use Loopy Pro, but is he correct that audio tracks a la auria Pro etc was included on the road map but was indeed removed, or did he misunderstand something?
Do you think that someone (Intua?) will care to updates and Updates BM3 ?
don’t use it but many use it and it is a very good Daw for some style of music.
I gotta think your friend might be rather stoned. I've never heard anything like that and I've been on the beta team from the beginning. Extensive audio editing of that nature has never been a priority.
Loopy Pro is a looper with many DAW features. It's has never set out to be full-on DAW with some nice looper features.
I will say that there are people on the beta team that have a never ending output of grandiose feature requests and vast hope that they'll see them any day now. It's mind bending really. (Not dissing this. They are indeed way insightful and creative than I could ever be, and they seem to eat live and breath Loopy Pro.)
It's easy for people to hear what they want to hear. My snark above aside, maybe that's the case for your friend ... who by the way should be thrilled with Logic Pro on iPad. Now that's looks like a great DAW with some really good looper features.
Fair enough, cheers Wim. He's an ex forum member so I have told him he can rejoin if he feels the need to discuss this in more detail lol, it's very much not my battle, thnx!
Give me a PM if he does so I can try to coach myself not to be such a smart-ass. 😂
SunVox.
The dev has said his plan is to open source it should he no longer be able to develop it. Gold standard future proofing right there.
I always said here that GB was underrated, you can produce an EP with it some did it and some now famous musicians use it to do demo tracks and even to do their first EP.
For a free app you got a lot for free, it had updates and more sounds packs than other iOS paid daw all for free. After it like any Music tool you like it or not but nobody can say that for a free apps it is not a good one at least just for the sounds packs.
I think most of them will be around to come extent. Some of the really small ones may go away or as some have said, get maintenance only updates. But I don’t see the big ones going anywhere. If anything Steinberg my finally grow some balls and port Cubase now. I still wouldn’t use it over Logic but I know a lot of people like Cubase. BM3 is too powerful and unique to go away, imo. And AUM, Loopy Pro, etc will stick around because of the different workflow.
NS2 I’m not sure. With no audio tracks and the amount of choice now, I feel like it’s getting less and less interesting.
Now this is an interesting point. From what I can tell, Sunvox is written in pure C and runs on a variety platforms and architectures (iOS, Android, Windows, Linux) and audio protocols. That, combined with open source seems the best way ensure software longevity, the same way people are still able to run DOOM on all kinds of obscure hardware. An app that is written on Apple's frameworks and API's (like mine) will only work without significant maintenance as long as Apple keeps supporting the underlying API's and hardware, which - given the rate at which they push planned obsolescence in both hardware and software - isn't very long.
For BM3 , is it still Intua who care about ? I hope for thé guys loving it that they will do at least updates maintenance and bugs fixes . Last update was 2 years ago , latest version is 3.0.15 this is why I ask if someone have more infos about it .
I hope they do because I know quite a handful of people love it. I really enjoy it as well I just don’t use it often. For a sampler with pads I gravitate towards Beathawk and Pulse first.
It seems that NI doesn’t care too about Imashine seems even be deleted of the AppStore not very cool and Akai about doesn’t care too much about MPC 2 even if they are happy to sell IAP sounds ?
