The technology is kiiinda there, look at the iPad music production stack. If you have what it takes you can put up a complete track only in your iPad.
I think there's at least two big issues:
- Iterating on music until "it's good enough" is not as fast as iterating on a picture or video where you can do multiple takes and check exactly what's going on in your screen.
- Conveying your feelings with music is kinda like learning a new language, and then becoming a poet. Like for example everyone has access to sharing text now, with your friends or with the world, yet not everyone is making poems or short stories that convey their emotions effectively.
- reggieband 5y agoThose kind of issues are really the tip of the iceberg IMO. Writing a 140 character tweet or taking a photo with a modern mobile phone has a higher average quality with minimal effort. Yes, not every tweet is poetry but a huge volume of average tweets are consumable (if not entirely palatable). What I mean to say is, the average person is certainly able to write a better Tweet or take a better Insta snap than that same person could reasonably create a pleasing snippet of audio worth sharing. That would be true even if they took the time and effort to learn to use even the simplest iPad music production stack.
