Apps I'm glad I bought thread. The real standouts.

in General App Discussion

I would be most interested to know what other apps you bought recently or this year that you are really glad you did and ones that surprise you and ones that you feel you will keep using.

For me of the top of my head:

GlitchStep
Lines
Most Cem Olcay apps

I'm getting surprising and continually different great results with them.

There are a lot more apps, too many to list, that I never use and that don't click with me.

    For me - this year standouts that I purchased are KingB Organ and Modnetic delay. Modnetic is my go-to over and over for making dub delay sounds. I love to play with the intensity in real-time and record the results.

    Koala certainly changed my life. Cubasis and Zeeon are also current favourites. And of course, who could live without AUM. I just switched from Audiobus this year.

  • deadpoetlivedeadpoetlive

    AUM. +++

    Rymdigare.+
    Fugue machine+
    Speldoza+

    Hammerhead
    Xinematix
    Module pro
    Scaler 2
    fabfilter twin 3
    Mononoke
    touchscaper
    tc-11
    drum and thumb jams
    aparillo
    nerd synth

    It is frightening how many others I have bought because they were on sale and haven't opened yet. Ironically the one I use most apart from the mighty AUM is pianoteq 8 but I am yet to buy it, waiting for that sale that never comes.... :-)

    Highlights of my year must include FAC Punchlab and Audiothing Fold. Both great to use.

    Tera Pro Rings module has had a lot of use since coming out. Gadget has crept in to use since becoming AUv3. HandClapper has proved surprisingly useful.

  • TentypeTentype

    Had to scroll back through my purchase list to figure out what i got this year 😂

    Indispensable:

    RingsFx
    All the Tera Pro IAP
    FAC Smash
    FAC Punchlab
    Xinematix

    Probably bought 30 more things tho... 😂

  • GravityGravity

    Unusual suspect: Digistix 2. Best drum programming platform on iOS. For me the internal sequencer brought back the fun of programming drums. So intuitive, quick and easy.
    I also love its built-in audio recorder ( threshold recording ). Been sampling my Superior Drummer and Addictive Drums kits into this and it‘s just amazing.

  • mikejohnmikejohn

    Prism midi sequencer .. has become my go to sequencer

  • Robin2Robin2

    This year? Lots of things but Auto Fills immediately springs to mind as something I’m glad i bought; so useful.

  • SlushSlush

    Punchlab
    Modnetic
    Microwave

  • MadGavMadGav

    I think I purchased right at the end of last year, but I’ve been using Quartet 1 for play-along backings the majority of days since… all for a tenner, which included Quartet 2. Sounds great, solid coverage of jazz repertoire, I doubt I’ll lose interest for years…

  • gkillmastergkillmaster

    I'm reminded, forgot to add Harmony Bloom!

    Quartet 1 & 2 and Jazz 300 are absolutely brilliant apps, with content to die for and an insanely generous licensing model. I can fire up a Swam and the EWI and jam for hours.

  • bygjohnbygjohn

    Highlights of this year’s purchases so far:

    • Stellarvox. It’s almost displaced the wonderful Blackhole in many cases.
    • Borderlands. I’m very late to the party on this one!
    • Beatcutter. Have no idea what it’s doing but I like it! Particularly once someone on here showed how to feedback patch it.
    • Ridgewalk. I like Weeping Wall, too, but Ridgewalk is just lovely.

    Too new to be sure, but looking like they’d get on the list:

    • Loopmangler. Does some wonderful things!
    • Glitchstep. This one’s been in heavy use over the last few days, and I like it a lot.

    Honourable mentions:

    • Moon Echo. Bonkers, but lovely.
    • Nonatone. Whack it through some effects and you can be playing with it for hours.
    • Lines. I can fiddle with it for ages and get nothing useful, then suddenly it’ll do something magical.
  • rs2000rs2000

    • Aries Rotary Speaker. Finally helped me make Galileo 2 sound like IK B3X.
    • ChordPolyPad. Not new but so useful, it's all I want from an app regarding chords and harmonies.
    • Gadget 3. Still my go-to app for composition.
    • Nanostudio 2. Does so well what it's made for.
    • Drambo. Nothing is faster when it comes to making modular ideas real.
    • iM1 + all cards. I waited much too long, great collection of presets that combine well with iWavestation.
    • TB Equalizer. More than just an EQ and it can fix a lot of things.
    • Dagger. A synth full of character.
    • Sunrizer. A fairly classic architecture with a few exclusive tweaks, but it sounds like much more than that.
    • GR16 and BM3: Excellent MIDI Clock slaves when working with hardware grooveboxes.
    • isfizz. A nice little SFZ rompler that supports OGG Vorbis and FLAC files.
    • Eventide UltraTap. Probably my favorite Eventide effect.

    Non-musical but great:

    • OMZ Pythonista. Genius app for coding little things in Python.
    • Guru Maps Pro. All I ever wanted from a navigation app (except adjustable screen colors 😉).
  • YZJustDatGuyYZJustDatGuy

    I really haven’t done any production on iOS/iPadOS in a little over a year and not a lot of purchases since 2022 but my absolute favorites are BeatMaker 3, Discord4, RX950, and Zeeon. Nearly used them on every track

  • qqqqqq

    Recently, mostly just Twin 3. Microwave 1 seems great too but I just bought it

    I haven’t used Jazz 300 as much as the Quartets, though it covers other areas into Fusion and Blues Rock which I should practise as I crashed and burned on Sunshine… last blues jam I attended (just could not feel the changes…). Sessionbands have been on my wish list since then, but no offers this year to enable a cheap dabble.

    On a totally different angle, Microwave 1 should scratch the wavetable/hybrid synth itch thoroughly. iPad is great therapy for much hardware GAS!

    KQ Dixie - the only DX7-style FM synth I'll ever need
    Magellan & Woodsynth - my go-to subtractive synths
    Lagrange - for unusual synth sounds

    Elastic Drums - absolutely the best drum instrument i've ever used. I just wish it was AUv3!
    Patterning - drum sampler

    Koala - My 64GB ipad is too small to do much with samples, but Koala always gets the job done when I need absolutely need a sampler
    Audioshare - basic sample editing, normalization, fade in/out

    LK - such an ugly app, but it's effective enough and it gets the job done when I need a piano roll-style sequencer
    Fugue Machine - generative sequencing for chords
    Snakebud - mono generative sequencing
    MIDI Tape Recorder - for recording and looping generated or live MIDI sequences

    Drambo - best for sound utilities and experimental sequencing that can't be done with traditional synths and sequencers
    AUM - the only mixer I need!

    Other Desert Cities - complex delay
    Bleass Saturator - does every kind of distortion
    Eventide Blackhole - my main reverb

    Grand Finale - mastering

    Besides these, I mostly use free apps. I have plenty of other paid apps too, but I don't use them much. I just need a few well-made apps that I really know how to use. One reverb is enough. One simple delay, one complex delay. One EQ. One compressor. At least for effects, all I need are the basics. For synths, drum machines, and sequencers, I like having a slightly wider variety. But by and large, I find most new apps add have very little to offer and they're rarely worth the effort to learn. I'd rather spending the time gaining mastery over one or two tools in each category that I use, rather than try to become proficient in a bunch of different apps that are 80% identical to other apps in the same category. Every musician will have to discover what categories are important to them, and constantly rediscover these categories as they continue making music. These days I only need one all-purpose drum instrument, but a decade ago I used to meticulously craft every kick, every snare, every hihat from layers of different sounds. The categories that matter to me have shifted a lot over time, but for now I'm happy with pretty broad ones.

    Geo shred by far for allowing me to give life and emotion to my music, its ease of use enabling those like myself with little or no experience to rock out some legit sounding riffs is truly remarkable, being skint most of the time means I have to cherry pick apps (like most here no doubt) instead of being able to buy everyone I want, so splashing out on the swam I II & III pack was massive for me but well worth it even without the current 33% off 🥰🥰🥰👍 Progressions sequencer by 4 pockets too ! Wow ! I can sit for ages just mucking about live, lost in the awesome random Melodie’s it creates
