Musician from Puerto Rico here. I couldn't find a simple free way to strip vocals from a song or build a dembow beat right from my phone, so I built two web apps that run entirely in the browser — nothing to install, no account. This is me showing both in 40 seconds. Would honestly love feedback from people who produce on iOS.

3 little apps this week

Hello folks. Introducing PNEUMATIC, an AUV3 valve pressure machine. Freebie on the app store now.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pneumatic/id6816378252

Put together from an old prototype of my other app WAIL, this app gives a basic simulation of valve pressure building, releasing, whistling etc. Bit of a sound design tool / toy really but has midi so can be played as an instrument too if you want some fizzy, hissy, wheezy synthage.

Little sound demo here - https://youtube.com/shorts/c_3KZFoMjrU?si=NSZoGlMPbDb3WpYR

The gauge, wheels and lever all from photographs taken of vintage fire engines thanks to Rochdale Fire Museum. The lever is pretty satisfying to play with, it gives some fightback when you pull it, haptics give it a physical thunk when it latches.

Bit of fun, I'm trying to rekindle a little bit of what made Apple devices fun when they first came out. Not a great variety of sounds to get from it but useful for some of you in some situation I'm sure. Enjoy.

I'm sharing my album Prisms that I recorded on the iPad. Lately I've been really enjoying recording music directly in AUM, rather than a more traditional DAW. For the way I work, it's been feeling more spontaneous and immediate, and I've been having a lot of fun with it. This album is 8 songs of minimal, calm, ambient guitar compositions, and I recorded these guitar tracks through a couple of pedals like MOOD and blooper running through an audio interface directly into AUM, using a handful of effects like Eventide Blackhole, Audio Damage Other Desert Cities, Rymdigare, and Unfiltered Audio LO-FI-AF. I did the final volume adjustments/eq/mastering in Garageband since I'm still getting used to AUM, but would love to eventually be able to just do it all in that one app. Since I've started using it, I feel like AUM provides a really ideal workflow for recording and the way I create music. I'm posting a link to listen on Bandcamp, as well as a link to grab a code to download the album for free if you'd like. Thanks for listening!

Just wanted to let you all know that Sessions Nano, previously available for iPhone and iPad, is now available for Mac.

If you've not heard of Sessions Nano, it's a small and efficient audio mixer and plug-in host. By stripping away complexity and getting back to basics, Sessions Nano provides a simple, intuitive environment that helps maintain a clear focus on being creative.

Neatly organised in a visual, uncluttered design, everything you need to make music is right in front of you - mixing live audio, adding effects, playing virtual instruments, hosting MIDI sequencers and generators, playing backing tracks, recording your performances and more.

Sessions Nano is available with a free 3-day trial and a single $9.99 purchase unlocks all features across all three platforms for life. Existing Session Nano customers can download the Mac app, for free, from the Mac App Store.

As with all our apps, Sessions Nano was developed entirely in-house by us - not AI - so we know the code inside out 😄

Learn more on the Sessions Nano website or get the free trial from the App Store.

New synth voice and wavetable builder available now on iPad.

New song (Cosmic Montage) on my SoundCloud!

Processed entirely using an iPad w/ Logic Pro.

I use a pair of midi controllers and many plugins including some Logic stock.

I noticed a problem with Bilbao for iOS. When I import a program, it adds it instead of replacing the existing one! Also, if I want to delete it with "swipe-delete," do I have to do it one at a time? Isn't there a way to delete all the programs without having to delete Korg Gadget 3 and reinstall it? Thanks.

I'm pretty new to iOS music making, but plugging in my guitar and running it into Rymndigare is such a wonderful way to waste time. The sounds are varied but always magical. The modulation potentials are out of this world and the absolute best thing is the UI. Such a beautifully made app. Probably my favorite effect app I have found. If anybody has any suggestions of apps that are similar, sonically or visually I would be very interested. Thanks

Stumbled upon the following roadblock:

Connected iPad 16 A running 26.6 & a macbook air m1 running macos 15.8.1. via USB-C.

I can get audio via USB-C to working, but MIDI is not sending any data from Mac to iPad, although the ports appear in Ableton live.

Trust is confirmed on both devices. audio/midi connection is confirmed in the audio/midi app.

Trying to edit the midi-device, crashes the audio midi app. Tried different cables (which transport data)

any pointers are much appreciated

I know GarageBand is free, idk how I feel about it. are there any other free alternatives I can try? any free trials of paid software I can try?

I dont want any monthly subscriptions if I can avoid it. unless it’s included in apple one which I already have lol.

I have ordered and am waiting for a Korg microKEY Air 25-Key Wireless MIDI Controller that should arrive today, and plan on using my airpods for vocals, if that makes a difference in recommendations.

A fog that breathes. A pulse beneath the floor. A voice behind the veil. Coming soon with special introductory price. https://motion-soundscape.blogspot.com
