I produce music, mostly acid house and minimal techno, entirely on iOS (apart from the mastering). I started because I wanted a creative outlet that wasn't my job and didn't involve my laptop. It took about 18 months to get to the point where I was actually happy with the stuff I was making, but then that became a bit of a burden because now I get anxiety if the thing I'm working on isn't coming out as good as the last thing I made. Every now and then I have to forcibly break myself out of the creative process and try something new to ease that self-pressure. Earlier this year I did a remix for another artist's EP, also entirely on iOS.
- amrox 5y agoWhat apps do you use?
- drcongo 5y agoNanostudio 2 as the DAW, Pure Acid and Troublemaker for 303s. Outside of that, I think I probably own about 60% of AUv3 soft synths on iOS, 100% of the AUv3 drum machines, lots and lots of FX AUs. I own all the DAWs, but stick to Nanostudio 2 as it's a work of art - never crashes, incredibly ergonomic, and it absolutely nails touch input. All the other DAWs fail dismally on one or more of those three points, Cubasis used to be really good (version 2) but they killed any and all good will with version 3 which, two years in, is still unstable and has much worse ergonomics.
