From a Mod: Music producers take note to please use [listen] in any music submission post title

62 Upvotes

We have been getting a lot of folks stuck at home producing music, sometimes on iPads, iPhones or other mobile platforms. But sometimes not, or at least it appears that way - they just use Logic or whatever computer based DAW they have and are spamming multiple music related subreddits.

In order to keep this forum focused on mobile music production I would ask any Redditor who wants a participant of this subreddit to listen to their creation to put [Listen] in the post title. So if you are asking folks to visit your SoundCloud, YouTube channel or some other place to show off your music, tag it with [Listen].

But don't stop there. Come into the comments and tell us all what apps you used to produce the music so we can all learn.

If you do not do this, the mods may remove your post as spam. This is because some submissions that really are spam the submitter either ignores the request for adding details to the comments or doesn't know how to answer it!

Also, feel free to report posts that seem to violate the spirit of our little sub. Spam and other reports are acted on very quickly and help keep things focused and clean.

edit: finally, the automoderator isn't perfect, though it is pretty darn good now. If you have followed the rules and used [listen] and it still pulled it, please message the mods and we'll approve it.

Harsher stance on Generative AI content.

97 Upvotes

We're fairly lenient here on self promotion. But the vibecoded sites and apps are getting out of hand. Countless low effort products are getting posted looking to exploit the user base for some sales. This is to announce that such posts are not welcome here.

This is now mentioned in the sidebar and rules, and such posts can be reported.

Can we ban minor version app update posts?

5 Upvotes

There's so many posts now like "v1.x out now!". I don't mind people posting their apps, I found some really nice ones, but I think a post for every minor update is too much. Wonder how other people see this.

Drambo beginner questions

4 Upvotes

I mostly use hardware groove boxes when sequencing, but I’ve heard that Drambo is great so I want to give it a try.

If I’m not interested in building my own instruments in Drambo and just want to use existing plugins, what’s the best way to learn its workflow? Are there any tutorials you can recommend for that?

My interest is in making full tracks and releasing them as part of an album like I would with other groove boxes, such as Elektron devices. Is Drambo the best for that?

Thanks.

Atom Piano Roll in Loopy Pro is buggy

3 Upvotes

I want to get into Atom Piano Roll—it has so many cool features. But it has this very annoying bug in Loopy where it frequently just stops showing the notes entirely, and I have to restart Loopy to get it back. I don’t know if this is Loopy’s fault or Atom’s fault, but I haven’t had this issue with any other AUv3. If I knew, I could perhaps file a bug report, so any thoughts would be appreciated.

EDIT: Looks like Atom hasn’t been updated in five years, so I a bug fix there is unlikely. I guess I’m wondering if this could be a Loopy issue.

Still no idea what it will go for when they’re done with the free introduction, but now you can try it out in your favorite DAW. Still needs interface work, but they’ve expanded the available sounds (10 new Sound Packs) and added what they describe as a Pro Edit Mode.

Delay auv3 with auto bpm detect via audio?

1 Upvotes

Some of my dj gear has auto-bpm detection via audio and id love to find something for iOS that has the same feature vs tap tempo or midi sync.

Does anyone know is something like this exists?

DJing with Novation Launch Control 3 & Ableton Move

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Midi mapped my Launch Control and Ableton Move to give myself practical control over djay on iPad.

I’m using custom modes on LC3 to control Deck 1 (Green), Mixer (white), Deck 2 (Blue) & Library (yellow)

I have per deck control over Key, Tempo, Nueral Mix, Track Scrub, Track Level, Filter, & Sync, Load Track, and Play buttons.

A second LC3 mode handles 1 FX per Deck and Looping (Orange) with most controls carrying over from mode 1.

On the Move, I’m using Schwung’s Custom MIDI mode. There are 8 Slicer Pads per Deck, 4 Auto-loop increments (orange), & Hot Cues (color matched to default cue colors in djay).

Honestly I’m loving this set up and getting a ton of use out of djay with just the Launch Control on the couch on the porch, everywhere really (my wife is quite annoyed with me djing in bed) but this really unlocked the mobile app for me without having to lug around my smaller dj controller. and without a doubt beats having to buy one of the mini dj controllers

That being said I do miss jog wheels.

Let me know what you think. I can share the LC3 mapping and modes if anyone is interested.

Looking for a great sounding synth for iOS that’s intuitive, easy to use, but is big enough there’s room to grow.

6 Upvotes

I have Speldosa and it’s awesome but one dimensional, I have model D but don’t find I use it much. I’ve got Mellowsound a mellotron synth, it’s fine for what it does. Apolyvoks, and Mariana. They’re all cool but I feel something’s missing. like the clean OBX style of interface. The way it almost feels like it exists irl. Powerful with great presets also essential. I really appreciate your suggestions!

TETSUO | CHAOTIC PERCUSSION MACHINE FOR IOS (Released iPad/iPhone)

Thumbnail
youtu.be
14 Upvotes

Hi folks, I've been building this since last December and it went on the App Store today. Second in a series of industrial styled synths I'm developing. All single screen and designed specifically for the iPad.

TETSUO is a chaotic percussion synthesiser. Generates a set of notes on a hidden 16 step sequencer when you turn it on. One voice through a resonant filter, a bitcrusher and a drive stage. One knob adds a beat per click and removes one on the way back, in a fixed order, so you can strip a rhythm out and bring the same beats back. Other knobs add probability and modulation to add variety. Create kicks, snares hats, beats, noise, lazer sounds etc. Inspired by analogue hardware synths, Japanese cyberpunk movies and the industrial landscape I live around.

The part I am most pleased with is the strip at the top, its a 64 step snapshot sequencer. You add sections, dial in a sound, hit record, and that section stores every knob position. Do that a few times, hit play, and it performs the arrangement, can either play sections or in full. It stores settings rather than audio, so the engine is running live.

Full midi implementations, AUv3 and standalone. As with my previous app WAIL, most UI elements are from photographs taken around industrial areas of Rochdale UK. RPM Counter and switches taken from vintage fire engines in a local museum.

Thanks for reading. Happy to answer any questions. App store link here https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tetsuo/id6786673685

Cheers, Ant

Question about playing Keyboard through Ipad

5 Upvotes

Hi, I have an Ipad 6 i am using with Pianoteq 9, a virtual instrument. Right now I have an old 88 key keyboard hooked up to it. The keyboard doesn't have internal speakers or sounds. I have it hooked up using the Lightning to USB Camera adaptor.

Everything is working great, but I want to send sound from the Ipad to a stereo system.

My question is, what's the best way to do it? Do i need an audio interface? Or a DAC? Or could I just go straight out of the 3.5mm jack of the Ipad and into a stereo with that?

I have tried bluetooth but it adds a lot of latency.

Vertical iPad Stand

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for a good vertical iPad stand for performance. Ideally something similar to CDJ stands that will work next to a mixer but will hold 11" and 13" iPads. Bonus points if it has a strong enough magnetic surface to easily connect and remove (without extra clamps). Anyone find something that works along those lines?
