Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.
Download on the App StoreAudiobus is the app that makes the rest of your setup better.

fiddling with midi setups in aum for way too long then getting bored as soon as i start jamming.
this is why i like closed off apps like gadget. when i start something with gadget it usually gets done.
regardless i enjoy the process and always have fun with it and thats whats important to me.
and,
An odd quirk about me that doesn’t want to start something I can’t finish right away. And who has time to both start AND finish something?? 😉
Those damn developers who don’t give me dem feechurs! 😂
spontaneously starting new projects always seems to prevent me from completing existing ones 😝
My first several projects I did blindly without context, not caring about any response. Now I know better what response I'll get based on how I approach the broader music landscape so I weigh that into my desire to do another project and it tends to dampen my enthusiasm.
Kids, work, family stuff, lack of talent etc.

I’ll get a good loop going but get stuck trying to go farther making it in to a whole song.
I thought this one was unfinished. Then I went back to it a year later, and realized that it was already as finished as it's ever going to get. Sometimes they just need to sit and percolate for a while:

That‘s how it went for me until I started with Gadget one year ago. Nothing stops me from finishing songs since. The relative lack of options (can‘t use all those shiny fx toys) actually turns out to be a good thing in terms of coming to an end. Well, at least for me.
Fantastic.
Maybe its not what stops me but who when you boil it down.
@Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr, a beautiful track and a beautiful girl. Bliss.
i don’t know if anyone reading this thread might be interested, but the midi interpretation experiment thread is a different way of approaching completing a track. Someone else’s! It takes a lot of the onus off the individual as sole creator and perfection is not necessary.
