Wasted space?
Wish I could delete the lot of them! :-) They are the first to go into an Unused folder on my back page.
Don't know about time and space, but the app that wastes the most money for me is that accursed "App Store" app ... wheelbarrow and shovel, wheelbarrow and shovel. Something Sisyphustic about the whole thing ...
LMAO, same here, I quite often hear the phrase, "What have you bought now ?" from my other half when she checks the bank account.
Dropbox before...
...and after deleting and redownloading:
I forgot you can't do it manually after updating to iOS 8.4
It really makes me angry with myself when I spend money on a hyped up app and then I fail to use it up to its potential, especially when it is more than a few dollars.
Some examples are:
genome MIDI sequencer - $13. The first app I ever bought, and the first app to generate disappointment. I never could get it to do anything remotely like I wanted. AutoFugue (edit: I meant Fugue Machine) looks to be much better but I'll wait and not get sucked in like I did with genome. (thanks Discchord!)
Borderlands Granular - $10. This is a SoundTestRoom "great app" that I got and it just sits, I can't really do anything with it that sounds good to me. I can't even create ambient music without it sounding off-rhythm and noisy.
ThumbJam - $9. This little app has so much hype on this forum and really the only thing going for it are the built-in sounds. But perhaps it is because I have so many other apps that allow me to control sounds with my fingers.
Singaling, Voice Synth and iVoxel - $various. I bought these thinking I might be able to autotune my horrible sounding voice into something reasonable. Nope. If you can't sing and don't like the sound of your own voice, these won't magically make you on key, on beat, and sounding good! I think Doug @ Soundtestroom talked about this in one of his videos and he is right!
I have four drum machines, right now Patterning occupies a space on my main music making screen. DM-1, Diode-108 and Gumdrops are just sitting there unused, taking up space. I might end up deleting them since Patterning really is awesome.
When you say Autofugue I'm guessing you're talking about Fugue Machine ... And for the comparaison with genome it is really a different beast, genome is a traditional midi piano roll sequenceur/editeur/arrangeur like you find in most traditionnal DAWs and Fugue machine lean more towards generative music, in the sense that you don't have full control of the output, while still keeping the hand on all the parameters, great inspirationnal tool !
I would certainly have my own list of apps that others seem to bathe in but I never have, but can't agree that the widespread appreciation of Thumbjam is hyperbole.
Thumbjam is great. Very expressive. One of my top apps. The sounds are good - and can be extended. But, it's the expressiveness when playing that I like about it. But, then, I have a bent towards the orchestral sounds. Maybe that's not so appealing to some.
AutoFugue is an app which uses autotune to combine classical music with EDM, very different from Fugue Machine.
That damn relativity app wastes a lot of time and space!
Thumbjam is awesome!
By the way has anyone heard from Kaikoo?....
He's been about in the last day or two I believe...
Yeah, I meant the new Fugue Machine that just came out. Very tempting!
i spent a whole bunch of time in beatmaker 2 making only like 3 songs, with midi sent out to nlog and sunrizer to control notes and manually drawing in automation for filter wobbles, messing around with drums... it's the one of the most capable music apps in the whole app store but it just feels clunky and awful to use
gadget frequently frustrates me with several little incapabilities (why can't i set separate filters for drums on bilbao, why aren't there more than one FX slot for ANYTHING), but the sequencer feels great enough to use that i get alot done with it and i overlook these issues for that
I would say Garageband. I like that it exists and I've experimented with it a bit. I love the piano sounds and a bunch of other stuff about it. But i just don't use it. i like tracker based software way more. But the interface and nice tools prevent me from deleting garageband. It takes up nearly 1gb probably because I bought the stupid loop pack I never use. I'd honestly use it way more if apple allowed gb as an input and effect slot for audiobus.
The cheapness of the App Store works against productivity a lot of times. It's easy to buy a few a week and never find the time to explore them fully. Despite the prices, the higher quality apps do have quite a bit of depth to them if you take the time to learn theme and explore.
Another +1 for Thumbjam, top notch sounds and a UI that turns the iPad into a unique instrument in it's own right.
Wasted space? For me it's got to be my old least-favourite app iMPC Pro - no idea why I installed it on my new iPad - I never use it and it takes up loads of disk space, though it'll be the first to go if I get short.
Very well said, and I completely agree. And for someone without as much musical technique as I'd like, the apps take some real time spent to get used to what they will do. I'm pretty sure I've given up on a few before really giving them a chance, mostly because what they did best required a bit more time to figure out how it would work for me.
Similarly, these apps can help people who lack musical technique. For example cord poly pad lets you play chords, arpeggiated let you create our pages that you could never play by hand. Yes, you need to know music theory, and one could argue you need to know it even better.
However once you start to understand how theory works, these apps give access in ways that would neverhave been possible. I am a drummer who stopped practicing piano. These apps help me a time I had knowledge in ways that I couldn't without digital tools.
I agree with this as well. The most valuable part of owning an iPad has been the ability to explore different facets of music-making and production at a low cost, through an amount of programs I would never be able to afford on the desktop. Synthesizer and MIDI education being the most beneficial.
I've had an iPad for about 15 months now, and I feel ready to graduate to a desktop recording setup thanks to the amount I've learned from the Pad. And again, the low cost leaves me with no regrets for almost literally buying out the music section of the store.
I’ve just redownloaded Akai SynthStation and tried it again, for no reason whatsoever. It now works! Like it used to when I first bought it. For ages, it hadn’t worked at all but now it seems to work again. Interesting.
I don't know if I will jinx it, but since 9.3.1 I've not had a problem with Thor.
I usually keep everything but a few things just piss me off for no reason and that's the reason why my icons shake so much when the X appear. So far I deleted a few demos, GarageBand, pug luv beats, seline, modrum, pattern music and volotic and that's almost all I deleted. On the edge I have gadget, sampletank, synth master. Had to delete mixtikl an ds10 because of issues with audiocopy
I still have ds10 on and no issues with AudioCopy for myself at this time.
for some reason I still have all 3 Soundprisms on my device. I also have Nodebeat, which I like the concept of but am waiting for a crippling bug to be fixed that AGAIN, Im told im the first user to report it. Auxy is still conspicuously wasting space as well. It has a nice logo that looks good on the screen, lol and I'm thinking "ehh ya never know, they could add more sounds or midi or something useful. And don't even ask me why Pyxis Minor, Grantophone, and dot Melody are still there. I don't have an answer
Maybe got fixed. Will give em a try
Ha! I have those three (Nodebeat, Pyxis Minor, Dot Melody) buried away in a "Generative Apps That I Just Know I Will Need One Day" folder.
Makes note in file.
