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

63 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.

88 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.

Update: the looper you helped me beta test is now on the App Store

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone, Raphaël here, the developer of Everyday Looper!

Back in June I posted here asking for help testing the rebuilt version of my 2009 looper (https://www.reddit.com/r/ipadmusic/s/u3qrxy8RTM), and a bunch of you jumped in. Today it's live on the App Store, and I wanted to come back and say thank you properly.

Things that changed directly because of beta feedback:

  • Full rotation support on iPad, the app now works in every orientation
  • A metronome for count-in recording
  • Compatibility extended back to iOS 17.7, so older devices can run it
  • And a pile of bug fixes, of course

For anyone who missed the beta thread, here's what it does: 8 tracks you touch directly to mix, mute, merge and overdub, echo cancellation so you can loop through the speaker with no headphones, synced video capture, per-track undo/redo, speed/reverse, and adaptive track lengths.

It's here: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6746701451

It's a paid app, but there's a 7-day trial to see if it's for you, and as a launch discount the lifetime unlock is 30% off until September 15: $19.99 instead of $29.99. If you were on the TestFlight, check the beta notes, there's a little extra thank-you in there for you.

The demo is by Ty Suite, a long-time Everyday Looper user. It was performed, recorded, and filmed entirely inside the app on an iPhone, through the speaker, with no headphones.

What should the first update focus on? I'm all ears.

Cheers!

Reverie 1.14 is out on iPad, with two AUv3 plugins

5 Upvotes

The 1.14 update for Reverie brings two AUv3 plugins, one in each direction.

Parallel Minds: Reverie is an instrument. It opens the soundscapes you have already made in the app and plays them from a keyboard, inside GarageBand, AUM, Logic, Cubasis or any other AUv3 host. It follows the host transport, and the controls are MIDI mappable and automatable.

Parallel Minds: Reverie Capture is an effect. Put it on a bus, arm it, and it records that bus directly into Reverie, ready to become your next soundscape.

What neither plugin can do is generate inside your DAW, and I have not found a way around it. Depending on the length and the effect chain the render needs too much RAM, and it would crash the host because of the maximum an AUv3 is allowed.

The rendering still happens in the app.

Also in 1.14:

  • Recording from the iPad microphone or a USB interface
  • Region selection on the source, an in point and an out point to choose the part that gets used
  • Loop playback on every result
  • Drag and drop from Files now works

Reverie is available in the Apple App Store, for iPads running iPadOS 16.4 or above: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6761535147

It is free to download, with renders up to 3 minutes, 5 presets and 6 styles. Pro is a single purchase, no subscription, and it unlocks the custom chain builder with its 37 modules, renders up to 30 minutes, and every preset and style.

For anyone who missed the July post: you give Reverie a sample, a loop, a voice or a field recording, and it generates a long evolving ambient piece out of it. Feed it the same ten seconds twice and you get two different results. Everything runs on the device, and what you make is royalty free.

The Sound Test Room did a walkthrough of the iPad version in July: https://youtu.be/74UvnSDZFec

English isn't my first language, so I wrote this in French and had an LLM translate it. Sorry if it reads stiff

¿ A\V sampler ?

2 Upvotes

Im have never been interested or use audio samples or loops.
I always compose with midi drive auv3’s and effects

But now I am interested in creating music and visuals together , and would like to showcase my talented friend’s musicianship on various instruments.

Basically I want to sequence video loops and stabs to create the music core of the tracks while also helping to creat the live accompaniment visuals for the music

I have VS 2 and Drambo so maybe there is a way I can do this.

¿ Anyone working with video as part of their music ?

[listen] Ambient dub with the Gamma Mini Synth + a bunch of free (and some paid) apps

Thumbnail
youtube.com
5 Upvotes

Yet another looped track on iPhone with Loopy Pro. Wanted to share the app chain here since a lot of it is free and honestly punches way above its price. Hammerhead by Bram Bos for the drum machine (the only drum machine I own and use haha), J_NO Chorus by Adam Bell (free) on the loops and overlay melodies, and Flux Mini 2 by Caelum Audio (free) for sidechain "pumping." On the drum bus I also ran Magic Dice, RoughRider 3, Room Reverb, and BA-1 FX strip (all free), where the BA-1 handled the filtering (I have separate filter apps, but this works so well). For reverb I've used the Eventide Blackhole again... like in almost every track I make :D I've got Crystalline reverb from Baby Audio, but it was a lot heavier on my iPhone 14, than the BH, so I switched back to it for this performance.

More about the Flux Mini sidechaining (it might be helpful for some): I ran two instances of Hammerhead, one sending MIDI and one playing it, and used those MIDI notes (from instance 1) to trigger Flux Mini's envelope on the drums. Gave the whole thing a proper pumping feel and let the drums breathe against the pads. You can also adjust the mix amount on Flux Mini, so the strength of the pump is fully controllable.

Synth was the Gamma Mini by this.is.NOISE inc, audio interface was an iRig USB.

iPad Drone Jam in a Concrete Reservoir Overspill.

6 Upvotes

Took an iPad and a 25W speaker deep into a disused reservoir overflow tunnel to stress-test WAIL’s resonance against real-world concrete acoustics. The natural decay and reverb transformed the signal into something huge. (Keep an ear out for the crows reacting the moment the sub-drone hits.)

Specifically the Minimoog app and the Model 15. Even when I try to map the CC it doesn't take. It works with all the other apps I want it to. Anybody got any ideas?

Scaler 3 question

0 Upvotes

Hi, does anyone know how to shorten the length of a chord in Scaler 3 without shortening the length of the corresponding arpeggio for that chord (in arrange view).

Google says the following but step 4 doesn't work, it keeps automatically shortening the length of the arpeggio when I shorten the length of the chord.

Thanks!

Step 3: Shorten the Main Chord (Keep the Arpeggio Clip Long)
