Excellent info. I have a lot of apps with a lot of presets, and this really helps to find some useful orchestra sounds. It's easy to find buzzy synths and pads - not so easy to find stuff that sounds like real instruments! Thanks 👍
You're welcome! I'm sure even better/newer options are available now. I haven't produced on the iPad in a while. LOL. :) But if these are still available, definitely check them out!
Man! These ethereal sounds together with your amazing musicianship are a match made in heaven! First time, I watched it for the information, now I'm here a second time just for the vibes. Super inspiring! I'd love for you to make a tutorial on choosing chords and chord progressions for this type of music!
At 3:47 I had butterflies in my stomach That sounded so cinematic, so emotional and good. You know what? Shut up and take my money cause I’m buying this app
No problem. There's a newcomer to the space which is probably the best I've heard so far! LOL. Check out Audio Modeling and what they are doing with the SWAM instruments.
Fantastically useful video with brilliant demos, this was great man! As usual, we have similar videos lined up in the future, we're always on the exact same page man I love it!
That's awesome. Great minds think alike. I know you got some dope ideas. I haven't even touched the orchestral stuff in Cubasis. Are there some great orchestral sounds in there?I really need Spitfire Audio to release LABS as an AUV3 app. LOL....
@@dafingaz There's certainly some decent sounds but they're nowhere near the quality of symphonic or beathawk, more like sample tank quality. I will straight feint and passout from happiness if spitfire ever releases for iPad but I figure that's bout 3-5 years away or so.
@@MobileMusicPro Yeah. It's sad, because there are so many great apps that are IAA. If they would just make it AUV3 that would be a game changer. LOL...
When you purchase these sounds, are they only available temporarily or do you get to keep them permanently? Another question, can you use a whole group of these sounds together to create a score for a film?
You get to keep them as long as the app exists and there's not random Apple update that messes up anything with the app. :) You can use the sounds together in a DAW (like Cubasis, Logic, etc) on the iPad to create a score. I would suggest having a decent amount of space on your iPad for some of these sounds/libraries. Hope this helps!
Great video! Really helpful to decide about the products. I just wanted to ask what is the chord you are playing in 11.35? If you could answer, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
Thanks for checking it out! Glad it helped! Sounds like an f minor (add 9) chord in first inversion. In plain English, try playing these notes from the bottom up: Ab G C F

@@tanysozi share more info. Export on the iPad? If so, you should be able to record it in the iPad DAW (I use Beatmaker 3) and convert it to audio. Then you can export the audio.
Hey, great video. Quick question. If I get the pure synthesiser platinum, would I be able to play the instruments/sounds from pure synth on garageband ?
Depends. If I were performing live, I might go for the keyboard. But I also used the iPad when I played in church. LOL. If I'm producing using virtual instruments, then I'll stick with the virtual.
@@dafingaz So are you saying if I'm not performing live on stage and only creating music at home or office for a movie or series or music video than go for virtual instruments and not a $5,000.00 arranger keyboard?
@@elbandito5411The decision is up to you in the end. For me, if I don't see how I can make at least $10,000 from the $5,000 keyboard, then I won't purchase it. :)
Thanks for commenting! I'm not sure if they've changed over the last few years. At the time of this video, those sounds were part of the Factory Content. No expansion needed. You may have to download them and install them (I remember that being a process, but don't remember the process. LOL).
I've been getting into Hans Zimmer esque score writing, this has been really useful for a variety of instruments that I needed. For now, I'm using Garageband, but what do you recommend for DAWs on the IPad?
Thanks for watching! I've been using Beatmaker 3 mostly. It's great, especially for sampling and hip hop music. I also use Cubasis 2/3 (for me Cubasis 2 is more stable than Cubasis 3). I use Cubasis when I want to create quick melody ideas in a more linear approach. Also...I should do an update video on this. The latest strings I've been using are the Audio Modelling SWAM products. They are a little pricey, but definitely worth it. They are also currently only solo instruments (no ensembles). Hope this helps!
@@dafingaz Thanks man! Appreciate such a quick reply! I'll try out Cubasis, one more thing though. I've been looking for an app that allows you to use portamento on strings and such. Would Cubasis by chance have this?
@@alman2295 You're welcome! Portamento so far has been the downside of most of the strings in iOS from what I could find. If anyone would have anything close to portamento, I would say the SWAM stuff. Cubasis *might have something like that. I haven't used the strings in there recently. I think they might be more on the synth string side though. There's also the really (really) expensive StaffPad that I would think should have portamento. I don't have that app though. LOL....
I connected my IPad Pro (2020) to my Roland F701 (with the camera kit). But when I use ISymphonic my piano doesn’t completely (only for 20%) plays the voice as sounded in the app itself. Anybody knows what’s going wrong?
Hmm. What cables are you using? For me, the best way to connect the iPad to a keyboard is using a MIDI to Bluetooth adapter. I use the Yamaha MDBT01. There are others out there too though. This might help: ua-cam.com/video/TWFkINDxSHw/v-deo.html Happy Hoidays!

@@kidar.3811 I *believe you can load up 3rd party plugins on Logic Pro for the iPad. I didn’t dive in on Logic Pro for the iPad yet. I probably will at some point. 🤣

@@dafingazHey! I’ve revisited your video for months now. I really like what I hear from Spitfire audio. I’m working on a cinematic composition and I only have an IPad Pro presently (I’ll be purchasing Cubase in the future). How do I use Spitfire on IPad???
Thanks for reaching out! I'd go for the "Originals" series on the desktop. You'd be spending a lot to get it on the iPad (you have to buy the StaffPad app) and I don't think you can use the sounds outside of the StaffPad environment on the app. Go for the free stuff (BBC SO Discover, LABS, etc) and then check out the entry level stuff (Original Epic Strings, Intimate Strings, Epic Choir, Epic Brass and Woodwinds are good ones to start with). @@RedTempleFilms
