Then send them over to Cubasis to quickly combine them or send them to Blocs and play it out on Launchpad. Play each part and record the loops(8-12) I like to really do must things almost live or close to including 1 take recording when possible. The instant ability to create loses its luster if it is worked over for 8 hours on a DAW. I am attempting to make my music as real to reality at possible and allow the platform to encompass the music presentation. At that point it comes down to how much time do I want to spend composing music versus how much time do I want to spend mixing and designing sounds from scratch? It’s a balance and some folks might lean one way or the other Then there’s tools like Auxy with stuff running in the background inaccessible to the user and you’re provided with nice sounds and some controls to tweak them, but not too much, but just enough to get a custom personal feel. The user interface is a huge factor, are the relevant parameters easily accessible? Are they organized in such a fashion where the user can quickly bounce back and forth between them? Are there things that must be set up at the beginning of every music session or is it “plug and play”? I think the idea regarding the DAWs sound is more a factor of how easily can I get the sounds i prefer. So what do I need and what DON’T I need are the questions. You kind of have to imagine your ideal WAY of making music and then choose a tool that is as close as possible. It’s definitely a workflow question, I agree. If there was a DAW that colored the sound without FX or plugins that I control, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. from a DAW? That doesn't even come into it. They each have frustrations, limitations, and many, many strengths. If there was a DAW that colored the sound without FX or plugins that I control, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot said: As the very last step, everything goes to GrandFinale for mastering. Or I start in GrooveRider, then take the audio clips over to another DAW and finish them there. I start and end in either Auria, BM3, Gadget, or Cubasis. I am completing a project per week every week I can this year. So, for me it comes down to workflow only. But I'll never invest in those as long as they're only available in Auria, so that question is moot from my perspective. On the other hand, virtually everyone who has shelled out for the Fabfilter plugins swears by them, and they are available only with Aura Pro, so I guess that could be considered.
It's not like the old days where mixing consoles actually colored the sound and varied from one to another. It doesn't, or shouldn't, affect the sound in any way.
To me a DAW is just a vehicle for running apps and FX. I **never ** think of a DAW in terms of the sound. This is a strange question to me (not in a bad way, just strange). Once I'm happy with the music I export everything to Auria as stems (tedious with GB, easy with Gadget) where I mix, record the final vocals, and also add additional instruments as needed.įor me this uses the apps I have to their main strengths, GB and Gadget are quick, immediate, and perfect for writing music.
I'll record a rough vocal at this stage too, to work on the melody and lyrics. GB has the advantage of allowing for AU and IAA as well so it opens the whole palette of what's available to me. It's also just so damn convenient working in an all-in-one environment. Working in these two apps makes it really easy to create the music with their virtual instruments, and also experiment with the structure because both apps let you change and reorder the sections of the song easily. At this stage I like to create the musical backbone of the song, and the various parts. I sketch out a basic arrangement in either Garageband or Gadget, laying a beat, bass, some keys and synths. I seem to have settled into the following pattern of late, but of course it's subject to change and/or evolution: I've been creating music on iOS for just under five years now and I've tried a really wide range of apps.
