If I can find the study, I will post it here. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen more than one study stating that the age of iOS music makers is indeed an aging group, with more than 50% being over 35 and that age seems to be rising. By all means disagree and post some studies to dispute this, but it’s not a reach really, as most studies show that many hobbies are finding it increasingly difficult to garner new uptake to their hobby. UK Angling is the same and while that market has grown in financial terms, the actual number of participants taking up the sport each year is decreasing.
Yep, if I can find the studies, I will post them for others to read, but I’m not going to go to a lot of trouble, as some will just disagree anyway as is their right to
I’m constantly pushing iOS music apps to the young kids in my neighborhood. We have a pretty tight group of neighbors and have frequent gatherings at different houses. Whenever it’s my turn to host the kids always gravitate towards the studio. I’ll leave Push 3 set up with some fun sounds for them to play with, and inevitably the parents ask me what to get to help their kids get into music cheaply. Most have old iPhones, so it’s pretty easy to recommend some simple apps that let them get their feet wet with minimal investment.
So far Note seems to be a favorite out of the ones I suggest, but I admit I’m biased and push that one hard too 😉
I bet the lights help too. When our grandkids come around, they seem to like my hardware bits with the most lights lol....O and touch apps like TC 11
Yeah that rhythm fighting game seemed to have been popular lately
I think posting more music that we actually make with the apps, how we do MIDI routing , audio tricks etc….. seeing the process with a YouTube screen recording … stuff like that would bring more people into it.
I think a lot of people see this stuff on iOS and don’t realize how to string it all together. Its kinda complicated and not super inviting to someone newer to iOS or music making.
I’m not even talking professional quality high edited content but just raw content that shows off what things can do,
People love social media, and quick video posts more than reading now a days.
Maybe even a discord where we can all chat and answer questions not specific to any one app could bring in more people.
I think forums Like this are an older people thing. At least posting and not just reading… I’m 44 and i do forums, instagram and YouTube
Yep targeted short fun informative and on the right sites seems sensible thinking!
Agreed.
Seeing and hearing the music being created is more inviting.
Looking at tutorials comes later.
Raw inspiration is the way forward.
Yup, for sure.
Agreed, talking about the music being created, how to create particular sounds, the music that they would like to create.
Not everyone wants to talk about apps.
😂🤣
Yeah ok so I'm an old out of touch git lol
I knew exactly which game you meant, so I'm right there with ya. 🤣
Another thing not to be forgotten is something outside our control, to some extent, which is the lack of an Apple affiliate program. Affiliate links are the lifeblood of marketing in the social media age, and Apple scrapping them in 2017 has really hobbled things. There are now very few YouTubers etc in the scene as a result, and online publications also don't post about iOS as much. I don't see any point writing to Apple to complain lol, they won't give a damn. But it is an important factor nevertheless, one worth being aware of.
I have synths, guitars, etc lying around the house. There’s music apps on my kids tablet, he’s 7. He interacts in his own time and way. He’s nearer one end of the asd spectrum than the other so if something clicks then it really clicks. The thing that clicked was sampling him. He finds it funny to change hear his voice and change his voice. Honestly, his turn of phrase is ripe for sampling.
He’s a bit younger than what we’re talking about, but I’ve noticed that there are foundations here and things to learn from him.
As @Fruitbat1919 said, encourage young kids to try!
Find what it is they find fun and allow them to explore that.
He loves visual media. Short, exciting, noisy, bullet point videos.
ASD kid also displays many stereotypical behaviours so he loves lists.

Clickbait yes. But he literally peering over my shoulders when these things are playing on my phone.
My child has made some killer beats with Gadget. It’s so easy to get started with, all it took was showing it was possible. Even jaded kids are easily impressed by things in their immediate vicinity
Yep all good stuff. I have been working on a track with our granddaughter speaking for an age now. She thinks it's funny when she hears her own voice. Yes to the clickbait, but it obviously works, so worth keeping in mind.
That's why I wish they would make more of an effort in local schools. My wife has worked in schools for most her life and she admits that while she loves teaching art, schools in general are not very good these days at promoting arts (including music) in schools. This obviously is just hearsay and I have little proof of this beyond a few poor Internet studies. I'm sure that many countries take the arts more seriously as studies than England seemingly does.
I tried to figure out a way to get the money together to help promote ios music making in .local schools, but since my personal circumstances changed some years back, that all had to be dropped. I just remember after seeing how expensive it was going to be to start up and how the economic viability seemed pretty poor, I'm not surprised no one else cared to try at least locally anyway.
I think the answer is obvious.
We invade Tik Tok for a day, making sure to condense your best work into a 7.87 second format with accompanying video playing inside a fridge or with a pizza on your head and banana up your nose.
Hmm possibly some merit in that.....but sure 7.87 second format isn't too long?
Funniest things I read all day, lol.
I think our next challenge should be a short track challenge
To paraphrase my mrs. If 7.87 was too long, onlyfansummers would be doing a roaring trade in 4.2 second videos.
Lmao this is quickly going downhill
Actually that may not be such a bad idea. A 30 second-2 minute music challenge for January, that's app-agnostic. Rather than an app constraint, use a time constraint.
Thanks for the idea mate.
Yep up for that
Luckily, I always have a short one at hand 😜

That viral only fans girl who is getting lots of sympathy for feeling bad after sleeping with 100 guys in a day felt so bad she has now said (against the advice of doctors) has said she now wants to beat the world record(?????) and sleep with 1000 guys in a day.
Now I haven't done the maths but what about a short form music soundtrack challenge......
How's that for downhill... ;-)
Nooooooooo....we are being dragged into the contemporary dark ambient zone......helppp...
With video?
Well it would hardly be a soundtrack otherwise...
Lol. Or short-form Pop track form.
Basically a quick intro, a chorus, maybe a synth solo, and then an outro. Seems to be par for the course of many Pop tracks these days. I remember when Pop music tracks were becoming longer with each passing year pre-social media. Now modern Pop tracks are (mostly) becoming shorter with each passing year. You could jolly well make a quick hit.
