As soon as there is a software for anything, it will have its limitations and that causes some interesting problems when it comes to creativity. For engraving, I think it would be useful to see something like an iOS/Android version of LilyPond or SCORE, but not for composition itself. So far I haven't found anything that suits me better than pencil and paper. If anyone is interested I would be happy to explain more about it. I know the criticism will be withering, ( I have been reading threads today.) I am not a classical composer and do not claim to be, but it would be worth it if I can introduce some fledgling composers to this affordable and productive platform. I will post it if someone would explain how to do it. I am basically a jazz musician, but in fifty hours I improvised, orchestrated and recorded a symphonic piece of four movements. Something about making music on an iPad is just exhilarating ( at least for me). An excellent DAW costs $50 (Cubasis, or the more complicated Auria Pro).Īnd there is the fun factor.
The instruments do not compare to Kontakt's acoustic libraries, of course ( at least not yet), though some, like the Ravenscroft 275 piano ( cost $36!) are as good as any desktop plugins.
For a few hundred dollars you can get yourself a used iPad, some marvelous acoustic apps, a choice of excellent Daws and all the help in learning how to use it on the forum, the foremost and best respected iOS forum. The biggest advantage for young composers is the affordability.
I recently discovered this marvelous medium. I am interested in promoting the idea of composing classical music on the iPad.
