2014 – The peak year for iOS music apps
Looking through my old app list, I think the top of the wave of new exciting innovative stuff coming out every week from all directions was 2014
Comments
No, don’t agree on this year…
For me, the peak is to come in the future, but, along the road since 2014 we’ve got extraordinary apps like Drambo, Synthmaster One/2, Bram Bos catalogue, Logic Pro, Pianoteq v8, Moog Model 15, Fabfilter Twin v3, ButterSynth etc etc etc…
Yeah, since 2014 it may not be that groundbreaking ideas, but the quality of apps has grown tremendously…
The peak ain’t here yet…

Any particular month...?
Considering we’re still on the cusp of having machine learning incorporated into both performance and production, I’d say the best is yet to come.
Yeah 2014 was an exciting year (I have a vague recollection of it)
But so many great things happened since then, I don’t think it particularly game changier
I’d say the machines agree with you.
This was back when they designed things specifically to take advantage of the touch screens. Now we get stuff that could easily just be on desktop as far as the interface is concerned. I’m beta testing a hot new app that has floating windows that open and have to be moved around and you can click x to close them. It’s so innovative and forward thinking I feel like I’m back on Windows XP
Let’s get real, iOS music peaked with Figure and ikaossilator. Almost everything since is just pretending. Notable exceptions: Koala, BM3, NS2
Damn right! It was all downhill after Birdstepper...
Gadget was released in 2014.
“It Was A Very Good Year”
Looking through my list of what I bought in 2014 I must admit I seem to have been buying just about everything I saw
But I think that year was a classic year in iOS music apps
Plus detailed hand tracking will change everything. Soon you will be able to control apps by signing. One hand to interact with the screen, the other for signalling shortcut 'keys' via hand shapes and gestures.
(Total BS outta my ass but it sure would be cool)
With the inclusion of visual input there are any number of ways one should be able to affect a performance... What if you used facial expressions to influence the use of tone or effects?
like how guitarists change their facial expression when they change chords like they just did a magic trick
2014 may have been the last year that developers weren’t offering applications heavily influenced by “design by committee.”
Also, as far as I can tell, AI generated visual art is highly derivative. So there’s no reason to believe AI-developed music apps won’t also be. It’s much more likely to produce an improved Buttersynth, then something as astonishingly new as Borderlands. IMO
Machine learning generated art is only as derivative as people want it to be. Input influences output. Give it something different to process and it'll look different.
You're not one of those dweebs who think you can bend notes on a guitar with just your fingers are you?
The power of facial expressions compels you!
GarageBand supports facial expression control of the filter and a few other synth parameters on some iPad/iPhone hardware (no joke).
I hadn't realized this feature was aimed at guitarists. But now everything is crystal clear.
Wow! Amazing!
Yah human/machine hybrids are doing amazing things now. Much of the world of digital creation will look very different in just a couple years.
Yeah peak iOS was around 2014-2015 and also peak Audiobus forum
Why is the peak always in the past? Nostalgia?
Also, why peak? Could argue, it was the start of more innovative apps, yes, but peak, I'm not sure.
Not sure if that was still the era of IAA, but iOS didn't hit a stride until we had AUs.
Maybe the leak is a year in the future? It’s hard to say when a peak year is unless you’re looking at something from a historical perspective.
peak after the removal of headphone jack? puuulleeeez
I heavily agree with all of this
For some the 'touch design' era was the peak, not the plugin era. Samplr, TC-11, Thumbjam, Borderlands, NS1 etc.
Yes, that’s a thing
Or at least part of a thing
I like this year. A lot of amazing apps. At least for me.
