App suggestions
Okay guys so I'm going out tomorrow and getting a £15 I tunes card and I'm looking to get some suggestions on what to buy I'm definitely getting audiobus but is the multi track routing iap necessary. And any apps on sale would be good

Tell us what kind of music you want to make. Does "Synthmaniac" mean that you're in to electronica? If you're just starting out, I recommend starting with GarageBand and spending £3 on the "Complete collection" in-app purchase. Make sure you're going to enjoy it and stick with it before buying a bunch of apps.
iMS-20, Audulus or Jasuto. Endless hours of fun to be had.
This is all purely for fun and entertainment I have the two arturia ones dm1 figure boom 808 swoopster sunrizer and free garage band I'm thinking of getting Thor as it's on sale. As for the type of music I like vintage synth like 80s stuff but sometimes venture into dance and acid house
Thor is a great choice, and as others have said - the sale price is a no-brainer. Check out this thread for some great recommendations. @Audiojunkie put together a nice list...except for iMPC Pro...that was just wishful thinking on his part. =P

Nanostudio, considering your last sentence. Spend a little time getting good drumkits into it and you'll be happy for a long time.
I'm thinking of getting these I'm sold on Thor and Cassini but not to sure on addictive synth
Don't have that one, but VirSyn's synths are highly regarded by many here. Give ThumbJam a look. It's probably the most recommended app on this forum.

Turn back now while you can. Buy your mother some flowers. Take heed from the crypt in the Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini in Rome where the remains of thousands are buried, their bones arranged along the walls, and where a plaque reads: "What you are now, we once were; what we are now, you shall be."
15 to spend on music apps is the digital equivalent of coitus interruptus.
Attention Mr. Goodyear: I'd say that you're doing your part to keep Austin weird, which is a good thing overall.
As a future app recommendation TC-Data is worth considering since it makes every synth in an ios collection more fun.
Looptical is still at a very good price. And works in Input/Output with AB. Cotracks is cheap as well. Or triqtraq - jam sequencer (iphone, but works well on the iPad).
Just a few alternatives to play for fun, keeping in mind you have Figure for some reason.
"figure for some reason". heh.
Thor and Cassini are really really great; you'll actually finish songs in Nanostudio though. Eden doesn't hold a candle to either of those synths but it is also a great synth and you can run 15 at a time, with the best piano roll on iOS and automation and effects. Don't think there's a better way to spend 15 bucks on iOS.
get audiobus and samplr and audioshare imo
I wonder how much we could tell about each of our taste in music, inclinations or ambitions and so forth, if we were asked to list the last five music apps we would delete if we had to cut down to that number?
My list would have changed over the past few years and will again no doubt, but Audioshare would be on there far more certainly than I would have ever thought likely.
I don't know whether Nanostudio would make the cut at this point, although I can see where @syrupcore is coming from, especially as a simple truth that dawns on many of us seems to be it's 'what actually gets things done' that's sometimes the most important thing despite all the ins and outs (midi or otherwise).
I think you'll end up spending a lot more than 15 bucks. Enjoy it.
Oh and, @Janie, weird (and friendly) is the way we like it
Good idea, @JohnnyGoodyear. Maybe the subject of another forum thread. Thumbjam is my #1 desert island app for sure. The dev offers so much for so little, where others would just see it as an IAP cash grab. I mean I just learned the other day that the app can do audio to midi conversion - I never knew that feature existed.
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone
If you're blowing £15 on
synths: Thor, Cassini, DXi or iSem (if its on sale still)
mangler apps: Samplr, triqtraq, Sector
general/musthaves: chordpolypad, thumbjam, soundprism pro
Nanostudio, StepPolyArp and ChordPolyPad are my current barebones.
Good luck with that £15... I'm up to about $2,000 over 5 years.
C'mon. If it's 15£, don't break the rules. Of course, NanoStudio, but I purchased it at €6,99, so wait for a sale (Music Studio, as well). And only 6 tracks without IAP. And you can practise with the Windows free version.
Like Caustic.
And if you're still looking for and app deep, fun and in some ways "weird", check Werkbench.
.
The only truth, I'm afraid, it,s you'll break the 15£ limit, sooner or later. I mean, soon.

It was DEFINITELY wishful thinking on my part. ;-) I'm back to using DM1. I'm still hoping to find the ultimate drum machine some day though.... :-)
My updated essentials list would, for the time being, be the following:
I'm still waiting for a high quality iOS multi-sampler though........
I don't know whether it's a badge of honor or shame to say I have all of those (and 100 more)....great choices however and I agree wholly on DM-1
