Top 10 iOS Apps for Music Production

This video is presented by someone trying to recall what thoughts are, 3 days after a heavy shroom bender where he tore open the fabric of the universe, saw that everything was made of love, realised the meaning of life and subsequently forgot everything

[@gapster77]

Strange cadence that’s hard to follow, like someone’s pausing and unpausing him a as he talks, punctuated by sharp inhales of breath. I’m not hating, just can’t deal with it, but I stayed for like 75% of the vid, and now I’m outta here!

[@xandy9727]

no mention of caustic 3? imo the most amazing mobile daw out there... a modular synth, sawsynth, soundfont loading capabilities, wave editor, automation, mixer, FX... has it all :D. (limit of 14 instruments and 2 fx per generator, however)

[@mikeexits]

Agreed. It's fun to see what can be done within the limitations. It's basically impossible to really mix with (for me, a beginner) when you're putting trippy effects on everything haha, but it's mobile so whatever, right? You could always export the stems and put them on your computer DAW if you want to really mix it anyway. I made my most impressive song recently on Caustic after 5 years of on/off Ableton use. Though sadly it's 98% complete and now my phone won't charge. Perfect timing, huh? Lmao.

[@burnedcalculat0r566]

3:38 definitely getting this app that sounds sooo good

[@raysubject]

for me absolute winner on iPad/iPhone is Nanostudio 2.. released 2 full albums with it... amazing complete production app...

[@jokirby9284]

3:38 how to make this sound in garage band?

[@emiel333]

Where is Audiokit Synth One? And Sunrizer, Cubasis 2, Audio Damage AUv3 plug-ins, ToneBoosters and BeatMaker 3? I can go on like this, but you missed some of the greatest apps in my opinion. And Auria Pro the best DAW? Try Nanostudio 2 and see and listen for yourself.

[@billyfubar2748]

Emiel333 Official I’m getting helly advanced with GarageBand, condenser dynamic mic running through focusrite into the iPad...I’m a little new that set but give me time with, I’m an all around musician, I know garage band ain’t the only app, I have a few others like drum perfect to make up for the lack of cymbals, I’m a groove metal guitarist who loves hip hop, trap, bassed out south beats, chill and synth wave, electronica, Lori...well everything basically... but creating metal drums on GarageBand is a pain in the dick...so much work to tune the drums and or arrange them and not to mention a lack of plausible cymbals sounds...any suggestions mate

[@emiel333]

Billy Fubar Personally I love a Cubasis 2 and 3. They have optional drum sets from Roland to Linn and also built in drums from Allen Morgan. Cubasis is also very pleasant to work with. If you’re into metal music, Cubasis is one of the most convenient DAW to record. It goes up to 24 channels of audio recording at the same time. NanoStudio 2 is also a nice DAW but it’s more for electronic music. Another great and paid alternative for GarageBand is Auria Pro. Although I like the workflow of Cubasis, this is the closest you can get on an iPad compared to desktop (it’s similar to Pro Tools). But I must honestly say I use it most for mixing purposes. It has a 64-but double precision mixing engine. So in short I would say give Cubasis a try. Cubasis 2 is permanently 50% cheaper ($24.99) but Cubasis 3 is a new build from the ground up. It also works great with Audio Units. As far as Cubasis goes, I highly recommend the extra in app purchases. It has a drum set collection, two different FX packs and three Waves plug-ins that are equal to its desktop counterparts. If you have a compatible device, you can download Cubasis LE2 and soon probably next month Cubasis LE3 and try it for free with limitations of course. You can find a list of compatible devices to unlock Cubasis LE on the site from Steinberg and the App Store if I’m correct.

[@emiel333]

Billy Fubar And if you love to fool around making some hiphop and trap with also great sampling then BeatMaker 3 is a must buy ;)

@@emiel333 ill make any music...im workin on a sludge version of a country boy can survive by hank Williams For metal i like my snare a certain way I want high pop BUT with bottom mid like vinnie Paul's snare, i want my kicks low like a sledge hammer with a with pencil tip to bring the sound out in the mix. Short dry chinas, medium Tom sound which again it depends on the genre im working with...i started rapping because i couldn't figure how to sell.my most sonically aesthetic hip hop and trap instumentals so i said fuck it and now I can rap. Didnt plan that it just started happening. I go through and use the proQ eualizer, multiband, band pass compression etc (app purchase) to tune my drum...right now i have to make a beat on one track then I make individual tracks for each drum/cymbal and separate the record track to its designated track and i level the volumes first then shape the tones and try to pan them accordingly...id like to say I know what im doing but I don't and i know this because I accidentally get amazing mixes and have the potential to fuck them up and have nuke all the effects and start over...a desktop especially an iMac or MacBook Pro...not exactly in my future so i have to make due with the iPad which I think I'm getting away with murder sonically speaking when you compare my setup/studio to big honking power suck in tricked out towers PROPER monitors...i have the low budget mackie cr5 which yes theyre flat but dont like bass...im realizing I need to buy alot of shit so I'm combing through all of it...and reading and i believe i want Kirk rokit 5s

[@idunparks9971]

I killed my PC and cannot record the music I write anymore. I was using Cool Edit Pro 2.0 and became VERY comfortable using it. But now.... What is the closest thing I can get to cool edit pro 2.0 for iOS?

[@micindir4213]

What a cool software! I still think its algorithm for timestretch is unique! As well as its algo reverb. So much quality! As a multitracker, I think reaper is closest. As an editor, cool edit pro 2 was the best. Adobe audition is the evolution, but for some reason it's buggy and works 1000% slower. Wtf?

[@racheliam8]

what is the size of the screen ?

[@luismglvieira]

Imaginando has some pretty cool ones to use with ableton as well, with LK you can use session view to compose and even trigger analog synths.

[@BecomingProductions]

Some great apps available, but I've thought against going for an ipad for music use. Im not currently in the Apple ecosystem and would only be buying one for this purpose. Within a few years I could realistically expect failing battery life, dropped support from Apple, lesser performance from the device. Its all expected with any tablet running a modern operating system. However I could buy a hardware synth or sequencer, and providing I maintain it, it should be running the very same in 20 years time as it did on the day I bought it. I think that's the main reason the IOS route isn't appealing to me.

[@OGRH]

Yeah audiobus was amazing! Now it won’t even launch! Then Apple had the bright idea of eliminating the microphone jack and everything was downhill from there! It was such a good tool for making music and now all of that time and effort learning and mastering it was just a fad for Apple! They suck for that! I’m sure there are new versions of plug-in applications but why should I have to go and re-learn new applications all of the time when the idea is to constantly polish our skills and master what we know how to use!?

[@BecomingProductions]

@@OGRH I can imagine how frustrating that must be. If I was a regular Apple user and was planning on buying their devices anyway it would be a different story. As it is I've no Apple devices and hearing stories like yours just make me want to keep it that way.

[@apop412]

Bro you are a pro. I will be a beginner, but I don't know how😀

[@CLaw-tb5gg]

As probably several trillion people have pointed out before me (or maybe not - you need to be pretty old and nerdy to know this), ZX Plectrum simulates the loading screen for old Spectrum games. You got several minutes of horrible noise and colour streaks like that whilst games were loading. Yep, the games took several /minutes/ to load, because they were all on audio cassettes.

[@micindir4213]

[@kittensinkmusic]

thanks for all the great vids, adam. here and also on Groove 3. i always get a lot out of them. Question - What is the current best highest fidelity way to get the audio from the excellent iPad instruments into Ableton? (not headphone out) I've been using iConnectMidi2+ in an aggregate device (mac) for several years, and it works fine but i would like to ditch the hardware, if possible. iConnectivity no longer supports this device, and i'd like a contingency plan in case it goes tits up. The only content i find deals with getting audio INTO iPad, and i'm not interested in doing that. Any new methods you're aware of? thanks.

[@hkkendall7150]

What’s your take on the ios app... Audio Evolution Mobile Studio?

[@vapedragon983]

Video is great man but the noise gate you have makes the flow feel choppy

[@freedriver2797]

[@ac1802]

I use fl studio mobile for my main production. I’m just looking for a app with some effects to add sauce to loops and melodies

[@SpongeRoss]

You can use Cubasis 3 to add plenty of effects to your tracks, or Garageband (but this one doesn't support automation). What other kind of problems do you have with producing your music on iphone or ipad?

[@Claidheambmor]

This is a well made video (perhaps som more judicious editing wouldn't have gone amiss) but this is not a good list at all. How could you not mention Patterning, perhaps the greatest percussion sequencer ever made? Or the FREE Moog Model D app, which sounds stunning and features polyphony and patches? How is 'ZX Plectrum' better than those? It boggles the mind.

[@rxlifter4016]

So what I learned today is it's actually cheaper to buy a brand new iPad and use the iOS Fabfilter bundle on there than it is to just buy the VST versions... Aaaand that's why everyone still cracks Fabfilter.
