I can’t imagine that the dev of 4pockets is making more than a few bucks a month selling these amazing tools that we “starving artist” then get to use!! Most musicians live for the thrill or thought of playing or music live or hearing it one day being played (and it NOT be someone we know!)
The passion that a lot of musicians have come from a pain that none of us understand, but we want to tell others!
I wrote this review, not as a check list of what this app does right or wrong or how well it does it, (although as with all of 4pkts apps, they are incredibly made) But I wanted to say Thank you to the developer for making amazing apps that just keep coming, at a MORE THAN FAIR price point!!! Being an old school musician as well as engineer, I remember when we wanted to mix on “on screen” we would have to bring the mix in through what was known as a “digitizer” allowing the analog input to be transformed into this amazing new way to edit! It was exciting to see the WAVE FORM onscreen and to analyze each aspect of a sound, the ability to “punch in and out” of a track and see it (although not in real time) was ground breaking, and you could buy this amazing new technology for as little as a 2nd mortgage on a house!
We have come so so far!!!
Now if you want you can plug your 80’s Kramer SM1 or your 57 Les Paul remake, even a little $99 Strat into your iPhone use the free Apple Daw “Garage Band” find a drum beat you like and jam for hours, while you record the session, no setting up 18 mics to the drum kit, no need to have your Shure SM57 or AKG 414 to mic up your cabinet, heck you don’t even have to have pedal anymore, or a 75lbs rack, you can use the free effects and all the amazing pedal boards out there!
The reason I say all of this is to show my appreciation to this developer for making amazing effects, tools, and extras for the AUM app, FOR BASICALLY PENNIES!!!! The time he spends on YouTube explaining and detailing the uses and functions alone would be worth 50x’s time cost that we actually pay!!!
Again not a review or suggestions, but a “THANK YOU” to the dev
