    I still struggle to record a tune without crashes, freeze-ups, disappearing audio, crackles, pops and god knows what.

    I got Ableton Live for the same reason. There are a TON of great apps for iOS at a low price but they don't sync together very well unless you are using a closed environment like Gadget. What I've started to do is start all of my projects in iOS and port them over to Ableton. Also I just got an iConnect Audio device that allows you to send audio back and forth from the iPad to the desktop in real time. For example you can use an effects plugin from iOS inside of Ableton.

    Funnily enough I've just had a track I was working on in Auria go belly up - I can't record any more audio as it just screetches at me when I try. There's only 6 tracks on there, and I'm on an Air 2 with loads of free disk space.

    Before then it wouldn't sync when recording via Audiobus, and now IAA doesn't work.

    This year I've spent 75% of my time on the iPad trying to figure out why things aren't working and 25% making music - it's becoming a joke. I think I might do the same as you and start using the desktop for recording.

    Do it! The desktop is so much better for reliable recording and much deeper editing..

    A iconnect midi4 is great too as you can write midi tracks and track the audio straight back into the computer, or something like midimux

    Thanks, I've got Logic and an old version of Maschine on the desktop, but I'll look into those as a way to link them to the iPad as I still want to use the synths and FX

  • @monzo Check out this video on how to do it. They are using Ableton as an example but of course you can use Logic too. It's just a matter of selecting the right inputs and outputs.

    Thanks, I'll have a look :)

    Everyone's always going on about how cheap music apps are, but I've spent at least £300 on them over the last few years and I still struggle to record a tune without crashes, freeze-ups, disappearing audio, crackles, pops and god knows what. Compared to £140 for the unparalleled rock solid quality of Logic.

    For me Logic Pro X is NOT rock solid too. Over the last months i can say that it can freeze, crash etc. also very good. I have enough RAM and CPU.... It's not so bad like in iOS but it's there. Perfect software is not going to happen anymore (if that ever was there).
    I mean it's true that Logic is maybe one of best bang for the buck but it's not rock solid! I hope soon for the Audio Unit v.3 when a single plug-in will not crash, freeze the whole DAW (i think BitWig has this kind of sandbox still yet).
    But apps like ThumJam f.e are rock solid since the beginning and are worth a lot more (in my opinion). IOS apps was cheap since the beginning so the crowd will not pay more, even for rock solid quality work. There are also iOS apps which i find way too expensive compared to other tools.
    Then i would never pay 149€ for the desktop Nave because it has no more features (even less). In general i think that some desktop tools are too expensive and some iOS apps are too cheap. I'm pretty sure that this will change in the future too when the OS's merge more and more. I just can talk for me but i have no problems to pay a bit more for something i really love. It would be easy to make music with just free software (at least on the desktop). But it seems a common thing to collect plug-ins and apps but get nothing done. That is the biggest killer for creativity. I am know happy with my plug-ins and will not buy more soon. I only buy maybe add-ons, upgrades and third party patches/libraries for things i own know. I also "wasted" several hundread bucks for useless apps.... but that is my fault ;)

    That's about the same as Logic costs to buy, or you could have bought yourself a nice hardware synth for that.

    At the moment I can't use the iPad for recording - Auria has corrupted a track I've been working on for the last few days, and Garageband is too basic. So I've spent hundreds on apps and hardware and can't use it for basic recording without a whole pile of problems.

    I don't think apps are too cheap, I think they're about right.

  • @monzo said:

    I mean i can still use the apps but i don't know why i should ;) You're right, if i could turn back the time i would have spend 400€ + on a huge plug-in instead of 100 little apps. First i'm sure i will have use for years and if not i can resell a plug-in licence (mostly). This are still 2 complete different markets. But it's also true that i think that some of my plug-ins give me more than 100 apps. I am even to lazy to integrate my iOS apps into my Logic workflow. But that is also my problem ;) For me i got more bang for the buck with my expensive plug-ins but there are still some iOS gems which are outstanding and i can't replace them with a plug-in. But if you can't use the iPad..... just don't do it if you are happy with Logic. I just use 3-4 synths today which covers almost everything and a few sample libraries. I would need all of my apps and more to achieve the same and then it will be nearly the same amount of money and i would go crazy to connect all this apps which won't talk together well. I mean i could not imagine to create a 50+ track song on a 9'7 inch screen. The whole mobile thing makes no sense for really large things while it's perfect for some stems or scratch ideas. You can't make a cat a horse ;)

  • It's really difficult to see a developer of music production app's earning a mint here on IOS, it has to be a passion of the heart as opposed to a reason of the head, if you want to make money the desktop system is probably the place to be. The markets and systems of IOS and desktops are completely different things, so to compare the 'cost' of like for like is a difficult thing. Here it's well for the most part fun, but on the desktop, well that's when it gets serious. Apples stupid refund mess limits the chance you may take on a more expensive app, now if licence transfers were introduced that could open a way for higher app prices. It's a similar thing with Reason Rack Extensions, a restricted market.
