On top of tomduncalf's excellent answer, I'd recommend reading through the Audiobus forums [1] which, rather than being Audiobus specific, have just become the place where iOS music makers and devs hang out. And as someone who makes music entirely on an iPad with no external hardware, I'd recommend Nanostudio 2 [2] - it has some limitations (like no audio tracks, and some automation restrictions) but it's my favourite iOS DAW by a very long way. For jamming, AUM can't be beat, it's an incredible piece of software, but Endlesss [3] is also worth checking out - remote, collaborative jamming with friends and strangers - genuinely a game changer in my opinion. There's a really beautiful album [4] out, all created inside Endlesss by a band who met and formed through the app. [1] https://forum.audiob.us https://forum.audiob.us [2] https://www.blipinteractive.co.uk/nanostudio2/ https://www.blipinteractive.co.uk/nanostudio2/ [3] https://endlesss.fm https://endlesss.fm [4] https://theveltrontransmissions.com https://theveltrontransmissions.com
