    For me GarageBand is the app that I've always known existed, but a few times a year un-discover. I keep going back to it, seeing that it still has amazing capabilities, not being able to get myself to continue using it, and then pondering for a long time over why that is.

    It's the greatest app I never use.

    ... Well, that and the phone app, but that's a different story. 😂

    I also ponder this. I once forced myself to complete a project in GB, thinking I would overcome the learning curve. After completing the project I just decided I don’t click with it. I found it unintuitive and unnecessarily difficult to do basic things, no doubt tainted by my familiarity with NS1/NS2. I wish it was easier to get stuff out of it. I feel like I should sample the crap out of it and then forget it.

  • coming back to the ipad for music making in 2024, after a 10 year hiatus im generally pretty impressed.

    i discovered alot of great apps this year and have lots favourites but i wanna mention FAC apps, especially Fizzica. I can fiddle with it for hours and it just makes everything sound better and more alive. Ill get Medusa and Alteza next…

    It's simply not very AUv3-centric in its design. Its setup prioritizes impromptu recording (I guess that's what garage bands typically do), but whenever I need to test an AU effect I'm actually amazed at how deeply these are buried.

    Yeah I think it's skewed towards making it easy for novice users, at the cost of making more experienced users jump through hoops. I have had some fun with it as a way to sketch ideas on my phone to later work with in Logic on my iPad or Mac, but at the end of the day I don't really click with making music on my phone so I don't engage with it very often.

    Not as deeply as the AUv3 MIDi plugins tho ... 😉

    I think you are spot on with that observation. In addition, it seems to hide functionality in typical Apple style with a “let the app do it for you” aesthetic which obfuscates rather than enables creative freedom. This was the case since before AUv3 on iOS. GB needed to be completely redesigned. I’m sure Apple sees GB as merely a gateway drug to Logic Pro, so they don’t care about making it more useful for experienced iOS producers. Which of course leaves a small window for app devs…. 😉

    (I’ll stick to the thread from now on, I promise!)
