For what it's worth I'm an older Dude that studied jazz and classical back 1000 years ago!!!…I hope I don't sound like I'm beating my drum but I've spent many hours practicing guitar and studying music… so I consider my self a 'real' musician…. I must say I'm completely intrigued by some of these music Apps. It's just a whole other paradigm in terms of music creation. And the quality of sounds is inspired.
I do get bored with the music rather quickly. I need less repetition and more composition to keep my attention. However, I find these brand spanking new technologies very inspiring indeed! Thank you Apple for pimping my world!
I think "real musicians" need to remember that the repetitive music that so many people make with these new tools is not usually a reflection of the tool so much as a reflection of the fact that the "first-adopter" musicians are usually young dance music types.
Good for you for being open-minded! Hope to see what a jazz/classical guy can do with some of these tools soon!
iSequence for the iPad has been out for quite some time now. Just sayin'. In fact, it just went through a major free-upgrade recently that added audio recording for making your own custom instruments. The application runs just as smooth as the old iPhone version and it makes great use of the extra screen real estate.
Your right – we didn't make that clear. I was mainly interested in highlighting the new tutorials.
