Auria Pro tips and tricks
There's a lot of new stuff so I thought it might be good to have a dedicated thread for some of the new workflows:
1) Be aware of your buffer size
Previously the buffer size was set to 4096 when mixing, which allowed for many plugins to run. With the addition of MIDI tracks the default buffer size has been reduced to 512 to allow for acceptable MIDI playback, so if you are using MIDI tracks you won't be able to run as many plugins as before.
However if you separate the recording phase from the mixing phase, and freeze the MIDI to audio (you can use the new "Bounce Track in Place" option in the Process menu) you can then increase the buffer size at the mix stage.
2) You can chain AUX effects with busses
If you have an empty track you can set it's input from any of the AUX channels (there are 6 of them now), and any effects you add on that track can be dialed in to all the other tracks via the AUX send.
The great thing about this is that you can for example EQ you reverb send separately from the main signal. If your reverb is too bright for example, simply put an EQ after it in the chain.
Just be aware of one potential catch: if you put an effect on the AUX send itself, that will be blended with any busses in parallel - so if you want the chain to be in series leave the AUX slot on the master strip empty, and use a channel with the AUX as an input.
This probably all sounds a bit confusing so I will upload some screenshots to explain.

Create a new track and select AUX 1 as the input:
Any audio on this track will be ignored BTW.
Next add your effects in series as inserts on this channel:
Next, and this is a little counter-intuitive, leave the AUX input on the Master strip empty:
Because if you add an effect there it will be blended in parallel with the other effects you have added on the channel that is using the AUX as an input. So for example if you are trying to EQ a reverb send it will still blend the original with it, which you don't want to do.
Finally just dial in the AUX send on your audio and MIDI tracks as normal:

^Cool Looking forward to that and AU hosting. Great work on this massive project, Rim!
Auria now works charmantly with Audiobus and Studiomux.
Do you use Audiobus running into Studiomux? I could never get that to work and the online guide doesn't explain it well. Sorry for this OT intrusion but it's been a thorn in my whatever.
... on the computer daw's audiotrack you open the effect plugin, on the ipad in the audiomux app you select auria master for 'receiving from', and then in auria's channelstrip you scroll and select from the available inserts the 'Channel 1' option for 'sending to', and then in the remaining rows your preferred effects. (Or auria aux respectively.)
... copied from a summer's thread, let me know if it's ok, crs ... (Copy) edit: gonna try with subs 'n buses (;
Suggest asking zerodebug about it, rhc (: Probably updating the servers, etc.
I was able to do the vector drawing which is great but can I also record the movement of the knobs manually?
So I can't manually automate the FabFilter synths and I can't automate IAA synths at all. Unless I'm missing something...
To automate Twin2 or One, just turn on the track's W and R buttons.

The track itself has R + W buttons (on the mixer page), use these to automate IAAs and internal synth
@yonhorizon
You need to record-enable the midi track that you want to receive data
(Too slow again)
Awesome, thanks. Now I got my money's worth
