I imagine a simplified 2 oscillator version of Operator that can open in Operator, a simplified version of Simpler, etc.Ībleton is the bomb, but I still use FL mobile all the time, cause it's literally with me all the time. I almost went for FL Studio instead of Live because it was compatible with FL Mobile and Ableton didn't have anything like it.Ībleton Mobile would be amazing- especially if its sets could open as a Live desktop set and patches in it's simplified instruments could open in their corresponding full version, like how Sampler patches can open in Simpler. This app is what got me into music production and I produced about an album worth of material before buying Live a year later. Features simplified versions of many of FL's sampler and synth devices, plus basic mixing and mastering tools. FL Studio has it- the FL Mobile app, and it's awesome! Very powerful standalone phone/tablet DAW costing about $16 USD that also opens as a plug-in on the desktop FL Studio.
This is my most desired feature, except I want it to work on Android phones as well.
Yeah, lets keep the hopes high and make some sweet ma-usic in the meantime. Nothing compared to the real deal, but for a laptop wowzers.
My macbook pro speakers have really blown me away in terms of soundquality. I'm really curious to check out the internal mic and speakers of the pro.
You could make something like in app purchases for light, standard and suite, but also have a companion-app-mode so to just control ableton or prepare some loops that you can send to ableton and that is usable for free (maybe no fx and barely sounds to choose)Īnd well, lite, standard and suite being like in the pc version.īut i'm kinda certain ableton will soon arrive on ipad, cause it's coming so close to a mac in terms of power and in terms of coding apps for it, whilst also becoming a serious creative tool to use. It's just another platform added to windows and mac (where you dont pay seperate either) and i'd say that there would be enough people who would buy ableton just to use it on ipad. I'd love to see either a "companion" app or a full daw, and hope that it will be free for ableton users.
Taking into consideration that Catalyst makes it easier to develop ipad & mac apps simultaniously, i'd say that it should be toooo complicated anymore to port it and mod it so it makes a great ipad experience that can be updated and held compatible with the desktop version. So, to answer your question: I don't think the price would be the same, as I think the main customer base would be existing users - at least in the first "round". It's kind of implicit that the iPad version could be used to let you create a track from start to finish, but that its main purpose would be to get ideas down when you're not in front of your computer - when you're commuting or just chilling in the sofa or whatever. So I guess what I'd like is a "sketchpad", with native Live devices, Session view and Arrange view and a smooth way of getting those ideas into "full" Live. They come to me everywhere else, and the iPad is so much more "ready to go". I don't have the vision or technical know-how to elaborate, but ideas don't usually come to me when I plug in the power cord, boot up my computer, log into Windows and launch Live. Like I mentioned in my previous post in this thread, I never pictured a "full" version on the iPad - more like a companion app of sorts, something that would let you seamlessly continue your iPad "sketches" on your PC or Mac. Would you all pay the same price for an iPad version as the desktop version though?
