Thanks for watching today and a big hug to you if you share this video with someone!

Solution: Attach a $1200 USD phone to the back of the OP-1 on a hinge to create the ultimate $4210 portable sampling workstation.

Andrew, you should totally make a 4 artist challenge using your app.

It’s interesting that flip feels like it was built with the same philosophy as Ableton, but the OP-1 was built from the Protools philosophy. Ableton started off as a live looping tool for djs and electronic music performers, whereas protools has areas that are only designed the way they are because that’s how tape used to be.

Thanks for bringing it to android! Just picked it up. Can't wait to make some weird stuff!

[masoneismonstudios]

As an engineer I appreciate the honest comparison VS like just talking up the product you own. Its refreshing to see. Def gonna pic up this app next paycheck

[shayes.x]

Haven't even watched the video yet, just went straight to buy it. Been waiting a long time for this! Kudos to the developers you're working with, supporting both iOS and Android is by no means an easy task.

[mrcwalker]

I love Flip especially when I’m on trips and wanna travel light but still make serious music ideas

[saxongroove]

The most poilte dismantling of an opposing product I've ever seen. What you're providing for $10 is truly outstanding. Thank you!

[antonfeirer]

1:30 into the video and it's installed! I waited for this so long and my patience was rewarded. Huge props to you, this app is pure creativity sauce!

[bumsybear]

Yo! Glad to see it's on Android now. I wasn't even mad and actually was really appreciative of your video explaining way back when why it was only iOS at the time. Actually put a lot of things into context with other app availability and such too. Excited to try it!

[aemythjensen]

Now a days, for the price of an OP-1 you can get a standalone Ableton Push 3.

[leokimvideo]

In Australia it's $2300, and set up in stores aimed at children to play with. So I can see where the marketing bend is going with that

[mastermatt]

You should definitely do some tutorials for your App!
I am a compleeeete beginner and was thinking about getting into Music with sampling in a fun way, your App is the perfect fit for that! But since I am a complete beginner, some good tutorials from yours truly would be amazing!
Thanks and greetings from Munich, Germany✌🏻

[peterelfman]

I love that you 100% went to bat for the OP1 but still flexed HARD with Flip.
Great video, I'll definitely be getting the Android version of flip soon!

[Ghost-erve]

One think you could also take from the op-1: ''Animations make everything better". Basically just meaning that you should add a lot of cool animations to Flip.

[myautobiographyafanfic]

Flip is way better on a tablet than a phone btw. Automation in flip gets the creative juices going. I love bringing in long samples and automating the start parameter.

[purplelord]

thank you so much for bringing it to android
so many teams decide not to (which is fine - it's the 'more bugs, less users' issue with more diverse platforms). Even if it's buggier, slower, whatever, I'm so grateful to have the option. Love your stuff!!!

[whitesonar]

i dont see myself making music on my phone (sorry andrew), but this was the nail in the coffin for any casual "i think i want an op-1" daydreams.

[CameronsMusic]

Andrew, you are a god. Can't believe you're actually 38!

[Stonehawk]

I made sure to hit like and comment EXACTLY at the moment that you said "AND ANDROID" because I want to encourage more creativity apps on android :3
