You can actually change the theme of the app. And tbh, the default skin looks cheap.

[@samuelcastelli5782]

I started off music making with Caustic. It's what helped me learn about synthesis and basic music production in general. I'll always love it for that, and I was super excited to see what you thought of it. The modular is definitely the best part about it.

[@irystheworld]

caustic gang

[@carterwaxman1148]

It's crazy how far you can get in caustic, I use it to bang out ideas when I don't have a laptop on me (midi export exists on android, not sure about iOS). The limits are what make it great... Also, there's automation, which really helps! The track automation is much better than the loop automation, but still it's there... And it supports setting scales in the settings menu, which can be a lot nicer than dealing with the small chromatic onscreen keyboard. There is also some wavetable-like functionality in subsynth if you use custom waveforms (2 curves only sadly) but it can get pretty dirty, especially if you bounce to pcmsynth samples and layer / mix tracks together in modular. Not a frequent user or anything :) Coming from primarily using ableton.

[@CONTRVST]

Best app after ms paint, honestly

[@ruckbuk]

[@OrangeC7]

Amazing! I've been using this to make music for a while (all be it not good music). It's great seeing you try it out! Note: You can swipe the box where you choose a preset left or right to quickly switch to another preset without going into the file menu

[@theacematt2]

iOS AND ANDROID... Lol. Have been using it on occasion for a decade at this point

[@OrangeC7]

Yeah, I also feel like mentioning that it's available on Android as well as iOS is important.

[@yoink6299]

You can change the keyboard in the settings, you can change keyboard size and scale.

[@toozigooti]

This app desperately needs to be updated. My favorite music making app, by far.

[@Jimbodawg]

Primary settings allows you change the scale and root key along with tempo, swing and time signature.

[@Bluegofuccincrazy]

I'm damn near a god with caustic considering most people use fl studio,ableton,etc and when I tell people I make my beats on my phone people get extremely surprised but I like to keep it my lil secret but I just want you guys to know because people don't understand how good this app even though its for mobile

[@theacematt2]

And you can go have fun with Reaper on the PC 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. Doesn't necessarily matter the tools so much as the artist

[@-Danny]

Dude I **completely** understand how you feel. It is super satisfying to get a professional sound with the limitations of a phone. After using it for a long time, you develop work arounds and cheats that get you a sound that didn’t think was possible, stuff that seems like it was done with desktop software. Being able to compare your creations with others’ creations within the same app is really satisfying. FL Mobile has been my main DAW since the beginning. I used it four years ago to make my first beats. Since then, I’ve heard myself progress in music making mostly within this app. It feels really good to hear the progression you’ve made, especially when bounded to the fact it’s all form a phone. So yeah, I totally get it. I imagine Caustic’s ability, just like FLM’s, is limitless. It’s just a matter of how much time you spend with it. Keep going, man. I have no doubt that you will make radio-ready tracks with Caustic if you keep at it. Oh, and do you share your stuff online? I’d love to take a listen. Edit: just checked out your channel. Real dope 🔥

[@Bluegofuccincrazy]

[@RealMephres]

I bet you'll change your mind about Caustic when you find many of its golden features, because many didn't to this day.

[@jamieryan5099]

its okay aha but not that good terms of channels effects etc its kinda limited good for a app but terms of other daws FL,Ableton, etc its by far the worst.

[@ultra532]

Like the secret code for SFXR

[@majoca9334]

You can swipe left and right on the preset name to change presets easily! Most of them are pretty bad but some of them can be tweaked to make a really good sound. The app definitely has a pretty big learning curve but the developer has some great tutorials on youtube that you can check out if you haven't already. As other people have mentioned, you can change the theme in the settings menu if you don't like the interface style.

[@chopperkid19]

Ohhh so many caustic add on app packs in the app store

[@chrisowens7612]

Bro you're only limited by your imagination within Caustic 3. I made SO much of my early stuff with this app.

[@jamieryan5099]

not really theres lack of effects,channels etc i mean its okay but compared to fully fleshed out Daws its pretty bad.good app thou

[@jsalhia]

I use caustic 3 to make my music for the mean time. Some people don't have any idea that it was made in that kinda cheap kind of looking app. But hopefully I want to get FL studio in the future. Love the content . God bless

[@moritzbruggemann3742]

To change presets quicker you can just swipe left or right on the little presetdisplay!

[@cnp2z3fyz2zuag8]

You can change the base note in options, can also choose the scale.

[@jlewwis1995]

The 8 bit synth is a wavetable synthesizer that uses the math equation you put in to generate the waveform, t is a basic saw wave that gets updated at an 8khz sample rate (it's meant to represent time and it's of course an 8 bit value so it wraps around which crested the saw wave). So you kind of have to be really good at visualizing math equations in your head to be able to use it to its full potential :/ or you could do what most people probably do and just hit the randomizer button until you get something good lol

[@autochromes]

you can change note length by dragging the size button to the right also you can turn quantize off and use different drivers it even has an easter egg

[@autochromes]

the way you changed note length is just zoom basically. you didn't go over a lot this app has to offer honestly. did i say you can route a synth into the modular and again and again use a lot of effects in the effects section as well that way. you can merge and stamp down multiple synths to the pcm synth very easily also the waveform editor is great. only thing caustic is missing is audio clips in the arrangement window.

[@JoeDoorVal]

i think a way to reduce latency is by switching the device latency to lowest and switching to audio api to audio track

[@Architector_4]

May I ask, why didn't you check out the help pages, or creator's tutorials on how this all works? They go in-depth and explain everything, removing any need to guess.

[@pringledingle9741]

7:32 Lil pump... Ouh...

[@-TheFacelessGamer-]

Can you eventually check out an app called "Bandpass" I haven't used it a ton but it seems free. I know there are in-app purchases but it's probably loops or samples. Maybe both. Also, please check out "Stagelight". It's an app and a computer software. It's free but a stripped down version. It's $20 to unlock everything. It basically gives more control and effects with paying. You could pay $50 but the only thing I see that that one adds is VST support. I got that one for $30 because it was on sale near Halloween. I didn't even know what VST plugins were when I got it. I thought it was only for Stagelight until I did research and realized any VST plugin is compatible with any music software that supports VST plugins.

[@one_man_community]

When will you finally try LMMS?

[@beetlebum007]

I think you were way too quick with your opinions. Simple and straightforward are words you use a lot while caustic is actually quite deep and complex if you dive into it... Not trying to be negative but I think you would learn to love it if you give it more time.

[@robscouto]

For anyone interested in trying, there's a free full version for Windows and Mac on their website. About latency on mobile, if I am not wrong, there's a setting for decreasing it, although that may drain battery faster or whatever.

[@junoxmusic]

actually caustic also works on android! :)

[@tristan_840]

Finally! My Request Granted! Thank Good Lord!

[@h4ru772]

You can load custom samples in beatbox and make your own set

[@M-KodeOfficial]

Caustic is better used on android rather than ios tbh. The PCMsynth alone is most useful. It supports soundfont files, as well as letting you import your own samples to be used as instruments and assigning individual samples to certain keys to make up drum kits or more precise presets/sounds. It also has a built in wav editor...and you can layer sounds/synths and export them to presets to be used in PCMsynth. You can even record your own audio into it and manipulate the audio to use as a instrument. If you know what you're doing....Caustic can be a powerful music app. Maybe revisit this app using a android device or PC? EDIT: There is usually a latency setting in the settings...you can change it for better response and it shouldn't have any input lag. This will also stop it from stuttering etc.

[@mr.commenter7953]

Best app!

[@theacematt2]

There's an option to make the notes longer by selecting one and dragging the edge, too. As well as a multi-select copy+paste

[@theacematt2]

Oh... You figured that one out .. lol. I'll just watch the video 😅

[@BastyOfficial]

Caustic is still very good for an old app tbh, the only downside of the app are its limitations, like only 2 effects per synth (except reverb and delay) and the usage of synths (you can use maximum 14 synths in a song), but even so its still a good app, it might be hard until you learn how to use it but its worth the time

[@ContraHacker1337]

You should try LMMS. I started on LMMS, it's my first DAW.

[@sauzeefy]

you should try out KORG DSN-12 on the nintendo 3ds. I'd recommend emulating it on citra 3ds in order to allow for recording. But yeah, it's a lot of fun, and i think you can make some neat music in it.

[@sauzeefy]

there's also a DS game that is just a sequencer with its own instrument, i'd also recommend trying that out on Desmume emulator.

[@handsomelessking]

[@redcloud1387]

[@emiel333]

Hi Levi, great video. I own Caustic 3 on my old Asus Android smartphone. It’s a great music making app although the workflow is bad and not every preset is a good sounding one. I don’t own Caustic on my new iPhone yet, but I will buy it soon for my iOS device. We all know that Android is a worse platform for music making apps. Especially the latency is terrible on an Android device. Nevertheless, Caustic 3 is an awesome application to play around with and you can produce some decent sounding tracks with it (also on Android, piano roll editor is recommended to use due to latency) Thanks for sharing your opinions.
