I am happy to be wrong.
iPad is just a playground for me, not an all-in-one production tool. I am glad you’re enioying it.
I don’t think Beatmaker is abandoned. It just doesn’t require any more feature updates.
Yes it's better than GB: you can slice up the audio and choose the take for each slice, so essentially you have comping over multiple takes.
Thanks, I can see that being a great time-saver if you do a lot of recording.
Richard, have you tested out Capture Record yet on iPad?
Seems you can have similar function there on MIDI-takes…
I haven’t tried that yet.
I’ve done busses in NS2.
The point isn’t that no iOS DAW has any of those features. The point is that none of them have all those features. Every project I had to decide which set of limitations I was willing to live with for that project. So far, I’m not seeing anything that would keep me from using Logic for every project.
Well, and a couple might have had all the features, but I didn’t get along with them. (e.g. Drambo crashed and lost a bunch of work in the process, so it is going to be a while before I trust it again. I found ZenBeats terribly frustrating.) And there are some that I haven’t given a fair shake yet, but from my research I hadn’t been convinced any of them would be better than the ones I was already using.
@MisplacedDevelopment forgive my ignorance, but what is “MTS?”
Multi Track Studio?
Loopy Pro doesn't use subscriptions.
When you buy the IAP that unlocks the app, it doesn't expire. The app is yours. You get all the features added in the following year and bug fixes for the life of the app. You don't have to pay again. If after a year, new features are added that you want, you can pay an IAP to add them...but you don't have to. The app will continue to work and get big fixes even if you don't get future IAPs.
My apologies, yes that’s the one : https://www.multitrackstudio.com/ipad.php
You're quite right, and that's a big distinction.
That freaking ‘just a mixer’ turned my life upside down in a good way! 🤩
After learning how to do midi cc automation via Scripter, my answer is definite yes though it was pretty much leaning that way already.
Well it's a very powerful and flexible mixer
I love AUM, and I use it often when testing apps and for jams, but I couldn't use to actually make a song.
Oh yeah I get that. For me personally, I don’t need all the extra features that Logic has, even if it has them all. Not giving up on it yet, I’m just not finding myself using it in a way I couldn’t also use Cubasis 3.
👍👍
Agreed. For me, it’s way more than a mixer. I make finished tracks there all the time. But my workflow doesn’t really require a timeline, and when it does I just dump a couple stems in a daw to finalize. But I wouldn’t say I need it.
It’s not a mixer at all, @j_liljedahl tricked people into making the wrong assumption that this is just a mixer. But it’s the multidimensional hyper sonic connecting device.😆 Saying "couldn't be used to actually make a song" is breaking my heart.
Do you need a timeline? Just connect one of the gazillion sequencers out there, maybe use scripting language and write your own, or slap the Drambo if you are lazy as I am.
Edit: @richardyot, I know you love AUM, nothing against you, it's just my fanboy-ism.
What I learned from AUM is that making songs in glorified excel spreadsheets is not the only option we have.
Well, that depends on what kind of genre the track you're looking to complete is.
If it's something like an ABABCB pop song or EDM, AUM isn't as conducive as Cubasis 3, Nanostudio 2, Logic Pro, Beatmaker, etc. BUT, when it comes to live Ambient, you can't top AUM. And I've honestly tried other apps for live Ambient, and nothing remotely comes close to it. 
AUM is like a eurorack case, fill it modules, route audio and midi every which way.
It’s quite capable of being used for an arrangement too if you use the beat offset on the file player (double tap to type in amount.)
It’s not as fast as a timeline DAW but it still beats tape!
@auxmux I know it's a little overly semantic but this thread title really bugs me. Would you mind changing it to rent?
Great term, mate
Good point.
Or “subscribe to”.
Haven’t tried this yet surprisingly. I definitely need too though. Any videos out there explaining this? Maybe one of Gavinski’s?
Exactly. Well said.
People make music in all sorts of different ways: some are recording acoustic instruments and vocals, others are using generative sequencers, and others still are creating EDM, or ambient jams.
What's important to me (tracking guitars, vocals, audio editing, mixing) might not be important to someone else who needs to drive automation parameters with an LFO. Some people rarely use MIDI, others never use any kind of audio track.
Creativity can be expressed in all sorts of ways, so personally I don't really get the spreadsheet metaphor. 🤷♀️ It seems to imply that using a timeline is less creative somehow, which would be a ridiculous thing to say.
Maybe it’s the kind of music I make and how amateurish my skills are but for me I love it more. I find editing midi a breeze. I set up loops easily and just can shift stuff around. I’ve completely cleared up timing issues on an abandoned song just by editing as I’ve no idea how to ‘flex’ stuff but the editing was also a breeze. It’s by far the best DAW I’ve owned on iOS and I have most of them. I have no doubt the deeper you know stuff the worse it will be for some but I’m a simple guy with basic needs and so far it’s rock solid.
Well said.
AUM is fantastic software. Not an app I can write a song in though.
Great for an 8 bar loop then the friction stops me getting any further. I like to have structure in my songs (whether that comes across to others or not) and I find AUM is not conducive to that process. I’ve spent a ton of money on things I thought would help with that but in hindsight I was trying to force a square peg into a round hole.
That doesn’t mean I don’t understand that for some people it’s exactly what they need to make their music.
I like to understand things. I like to try new stuff out. I like to play guitar even though I’m not a guitarist. Writing with different instruments tends to lead me down different paths. I want to know different ways of making music.
Any time I spend making noises is time well spent. Whether that be playing guitar, jamming about with a Novation Circuit, seeing what loops I’ve made go together in BlocsWave on my phone, messing about trying to cobble a groovebox together in AUM or finishing a song in Logic. Its all good.
When I actually have an idea I want to turn into a finished track I turn straight to my favoured system. And for that I like and need the arrange window timeline. It’s home for me and my music.
I don’t need to criticise or rubbish anybody else’s music or methods to be happy with what suits me. Just because I like Logic doesn’t mean I have to hate Cubase* I guess that’s not the case for everybody
*OK bad example. You are legally obligated to refrain from using Cubase when you agree to the Emagic EULA in perpetuity.
