That one resonated hard with me too. I make music purely as a creative outlet that isn't my job, and because my job is on a laptop all day, I've deliberately chosen to produce music purely on iOS so that I can have that total context switch. I release stuff on Bandcamp, and recently on streaming services too (apart from Spotify), but I'm releasing it mostly as an ending, like waving your kid off to university or something - I'm not releasing it for anyone else. However, having said all that, I get enormous joy from hearing one of my tracks being played by a DJ I've never met on the other side of the world.
- kcindric 5y agoAre you trying to say that working in a different OS is an enough context switch for you? I also produced a lot of music but when I switched careers and became a developer a struggle to create using a laptop and a DAW.
- drcongo 5y agoYeah, absolutely. Except it's not just a different OS, it's a different physical device. My Mac only gets used for work (and playing around with music visualisation), my iPad only gets used for music, I think of it as a portable studio - the iOS music ecosystem is incredible these days.
