As someone who does audio production as a hobby, and recently made an album using mostly Android, I can tell you that audio routing in Android is an absolute nightmare. Basically, Android (at least my Android devices) doesn't give you access to any settings at all, it just assumes that you use the default settings of whatever you happen to plug into it.
I had a problem where I'd plug in my DAC, and it would detect it and start using it, but it failed to work in the app I wanted it to work in. It took me something like two days to figure out I had to plug things in in a different order in order for them to work properly. Just infuriating, and something that would be simple to fix if they'd just give you some super simple audio routing options, but NOOO, they just have to assume that no one knows what they're doing and try to do everything for you.
I completely sympathize with your frustration, but when it comes to your average cell phone user they absolutely do not know what they’re doing. Signed, someone who manages cell phones for an entire hospital and wishes he didn’t.
You're a hero.
Haha! Thanks. I don't know about that. Some of it was actually fun. Recording on a plane was surprisingly cathartic.
I second the idea that audio is a nightmare in Android. I have the AYN Odin, and I'm always muting it by accident because the lowest volume setting is still a bit louder than I want. 0-15 is nowhere near enough granularity, but the Android devs can't seem to comprehend the idea.
What did you use? Cubasis? G stomper? Flstudio?
And what part did you give up doing on Android?
I used Koala Sampler. It's a great piece of software. I did eventually end up finishing arrangement and mastering on PC, though.
Hadn't heard of it. I'll check it out, thanks!
It's great! It's got two in-app purchases. The mixer is invaluable! I didn't find much use for the extra time stretching options that came with the other plugin, but that's probably due to the way I compose. I make loops out of one-shot samples. If you're sampling entire loops, those are probably quite useful as well. Each plugin is only $5 or so. So $15 for everything Koala Sampler has to offer. Totally worth it!
