Me too !
For big DAW-style apps I think the subscription model is probably the only way they can survive if they are created by a small team or by a single person. Cubasis is probably subsidised by Steinberg, but Auria and NS2 were not able to survive in this market.
That's the reality, not enough people to sustain a one-time purchase model for apps that require constant development and maintenance.
I would’ve paid a subscription for NS2 with audio tracks in a second. Fortunately AEM is a worthy alternative for me and no subscription. I did buy some IAP’s and tipped the dev as well to help keep it going. Auria and BM3 were great up to a point but eventually just lost it for me.
Subscription and one-time purchase aren’t the only options.
unfortunately, at the core of the loopy forum enthusiast mindset seems to be the conviction that everything should be cup-of-coffee cheap ($20 bucks if you ain't Hainbach is a de facto grift) , indefinitely maintained, and equipped with all the features that "collectors" demand (see auv3.)
Even merely suggesting a subscription model, along with the apologies of the developer, often results in angry accusations of a pure money grab. see cellular synth.
when the new Fugue Machine version came out, people who hadn't even tried it as a demo were first demanding that it be priced in the range of other apps which were completely unlike it... Imagine going to a Tesla dealership and losing your shit because the cars aren't priced like Kias.
Old men gotta old I guess.
Make apps subscription and only a few will sell. Most people would buy a sub to Logic Pro and a few others and that's all. There would be no purchases made "on a whim".
Instead of hundreds of music app developers you would only have a handfull.
I paid for Auria and never used it because it was cumbersome to me. I have many unused apps, but if they were all subscription then I would have only a very few apps and make greater use of my hardware.
Does Apple publish info on sales of music apps? I have a suspicion that there are a lot less iOS-based music producers/knob-tweakers than devs expect and as a result sales are always much less than hoped for. I just spent $100 on an app to design floor plans because I didn’t want a subscription. iOS DAWs should have both subscription and purchase options, but I would only purchase Synth and FX apps, not rent them, unless it was a super cheap trial period rental. That might be useful.
I mean is any software safe from not ending up as abandonware? I have a Google Stadia controller as a relic of dead software.
I’m curious @gravytop you seem to be a pretty big defender of subscription models. Do you feel like overall they would be beneficial to both consumers and developers?
