i don't know what it is, but i've avoided taking any music made on an iPad/iPhone seriously. maybe it's internalized gatekeeping but to me so much iOS-made music has a specific sound to it that doesn't feel as detailed. almost like how you can tell a short film looks like a short film versus looking like a feature film, but can't pinpoint exactly why (however there's a great video i just saw about this, which i highly recommend watching here)

but logic pro on ipad has hadso much hype behind it since its release and i wanted to put it through the test to see if I could make a full track using it. i've tried this before but never ended up with something i was okay enough with to post. tl;dr - i was proven wrong

since i've been seeing "playstation and 2000s jungle" trending a lot i decided to try making something in that style. I was born in 1987 so when this sound was at it's peak i was in early highschool and buying all of the games that are considered key references for the genre. basically, there's no way i could avoid being inspired by this style if I wanted to or not.

after a clunky start i really started to get my footing with editing audio on an iPad. there are certainly some features missing (it NEEDS an in-app audio browser, for one - this Files management with "Slide Over" just doesn't cut it) but i was very impressed with how easy it was to timestretch, slice, and mangle audio. virtually all of the ingredients needed for a perfect breakbeat recipe.
