@Sam23 MusicPutty is really nice and the dev has been constantly updating the app.

I use both MusicPutty and VTS. I found that VTS is great for the classic autotune sound and MusicPutty is more flexible better suited for everything else.

Ahh so AU is only with a subscription? In that case I’ll pass

Slam_Cut

I would buy the app, but since I rarely do vocals it makes no sense to have a subscription for me. Maybe a monthly for a month when the once in a blue moon need arises, but I’ll likely have forgotten this app exists. Too bad. Looks like it could be good.

It's hilarious how the members of this forum have complained about properly compensating developers for their work, then a developer moves to a subscription model and the complaints come rolling in. LOL. Do you support small developers or not? Where's the line?

Bandlab is a free app that includes pitch correction:

This is different than pitch correction plugins it’s more like Melodyne where you can selectively edit pitch, timing, formant etc on a per note basis.

I subbed to it..and it’s close , but not not as effective as Flex Pitch as logic on Desktop where one can quickly preview notes for accuracy and navigate the main timeline from within the editor for quick contextual review

Exactly, but at the same time everyone has a long wish list for their "Dear app Santa".

I think you can do all that in Cubasis?

Problem is 4.99/m puts it in Logic Pro territory and that is a 1000 times more complex piece of software.
So thank you but no thanks. If it were a reasonable flat price app maybe but a sub no. I still am fighting with myself to accept Logic sub.

I think it all depends on whether editing vocals is part of your core workflow. For me, it makes sense to pay $30 a year to have a Melodyne alternative on my iPad since I use it on most of my songs, but I can see why it won't make sense if someone is not using it regularly.

Spinoza

In fact I need it badly too but what I’m doing is to export the project from Logic iPad to Logic Mac, give it a pass on Melodyne and go back to iPad. Cumbersome but top quality.
I just hate subs. The dev thinks he’s smart with the sub but I believe he’s losing some good sales.

That does sound really cumbersome. At a certain point, you have to decide how much your time is worth, and for me, it's worth more than the few dollars the app is charging.

Exactly! I would so rarely use it , it absolutely would not be worth it for me , esp since most of my stuff is instrumental!

Hello @Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr, the pitch correction tools in Cubasis and BandLab are both Autotune-type plugins. They can process vocals in real-time but provide limited control over how each note is tuned. MusicPutty is a note-based pitch editor. It shows you the pitch content inside your vocal audio and allows you to adjust your melody note-by-note. Hope this helps!

MusicPutty has a free version with some of the core editing features. I hope you can still get a lot of values from the app!

The math does seem odd, but it’s been that way with Logic on desktop…where my Logic investment was $199 but many other plugins in my collection cost more than the DAW itself.

MrSmileZ

Flex Pitch will be here soonish i would think

It is probably because Apple doesn't need to make money from their software. They can give away logic pro for free if they want to. Most Apple users are already paying a hefty "subscription" through hardware purchases, and that's also why logic pro for iPad always requires the latest iOS.

But then do we want to live in a world where all the tools are made by one mega corp? If we keep using logic pro's price point to judge other smaller devs, that's the world we will end up in.

yep agreed….not my idealogical preference…however practically speaking on iPad things seem to be headed that way for me…just doing it all with Apple’s integrated solution (Logic Pro). vaguely reminiscent of when Microsoft took out Borland, Lotus, WordPerfect, Novell, Sybase with their “integrated” platforms

I think this is an awesome update. I don’t do vocals super often but do have some use cases for this. I’m at least subbing for a month to put through its paces. Thanks for putting in the work @AutumnRock

Yeah, I mean, we can't use Logic Pro price as the benchmark for what devs should charge for subs, even though, of course, that will tend to happen.

But when someone does mention 'this is more expensive than LP4I but less complex' it is worth pointing out a few things. Apart from what other people have mentioned about hardware sales basically subsidizing the LP4I subscription price, there's also the basic fact that niche apps like Music Putty (it seems few iOS music people are working with vocals and the market is generally hobbyists, so on iOS a relatively pricey pitch correction tool is much more niche than on desktop) definitely need to be priced higher than apps with mass appeal as there are just vastly fewer sales.

I still personally feel that an app like this would perhaps generate more money as a one time purchase than as a sub, but that's not my decision to make and I'm sure Autumn Rock has thought things through more deeply than I have, so good luck regardless @AutumnRock 🙏

AutumnRock

Hey @Gavinski! Happy holidays! Your analysis is spot-on. The iOS music app market is smaller than many people realize, especially for niche apps like MusicPutty. Previously, a lot of complex niche apps couldn't survive because the market was just not big enough. For a paid app priced around $10 to be continuously worked on, it would require around at least 10k+ new paid users per year. In reality, most niche apps can only hit a small fraction of that number.

With subscriptions, the rules have changed. Now, an app can be financially viable as long as there's a small group of people who really want it. With a few thousand supporters, an app like MusicPutty can be maintained and updated indefinitely.

Another upside of subscriptions is that developers no longer need to spend all their time looking for new customers or trying to come up with a way to charge for another in-app purchase. Instead, they can focus on simply making the app better and keeping the existing users happy.

That said, I fully understand that subscriptions are not perfect, but in life, nothing is; we can only do the best we can.
