this really, really.... really needs the ability to load up audio from your music collection in your iTunes library...... really!
I know that would be nice, but surely it's just one small extra step to load your iTunes track into Audioshare, cut the portion you want to sample, then throw it into Blocs. That's what I've been doing and it works great.
When I put the entire track into Blocs, though, it slowed up the load of the project in Blocs quite considerably. So you want to be loading in just a short clip from a track.
yeah that's what I'm doing as well, but audio share doesn't allow you to audition a track before you load it up, that's tedious for heavy sampling sessions... there are allot of apps that read from the iTunes library I would think that getting this capability in blocs and in a way that works efficiently is easily within novations talent base reach, probably easier than anything else already in blocs.
another way to put it is I believe it's optimally productive to look at a certain instrument and base how you structure it on what kind of instrument it is, if not then you're only fighting the nature of the instrument itself. Blocs is a sample slicer, we should be able to read/audition samples from a plethora of sample sources and then sample bits of audio from those sources. the chief sources of any sampler are inputs and libraries, if the devs make it easy to access inputs and libraries the users are going to be happy campers. the infamous impc for example.... you play a record and when the snippet comes that you want to sample you press record eezypeezy, but like audio share you have to load up a sample onto the record first before you can audition it... (makes sense in the real world) but on an iPad it's better to be able to quickly flip through tunes in your library to find/audition the one you want and then load it up and sample from that... _to get this work flow right now you have to have your music player open along with your sampling app so you can scroll through and audition music quickly on your player, then scroll to the same playlist and song in your sampler load it up and sample _
currently beat maker is the only app that allows you to audition the audio before you load it up quickly, hopefully blocs will be the second.
Was horrified to see the 1 star reviews. Happily just left my own 5 star review. Please remember to do so yourself if you love this app!
Why the eff is anyone giving this 1 star ? It's a 4 star at worst. I'd give it 4.5 in its current state.
What do you mean?
I always pre-listen in Audioshare before I load it...How else would I know what I am importing?...that's while Blocs waves is playing...
I have all my samples, songs and parts of songs in Audioshare...only problem I found with Audioshare is that after a while it starts to CHOKE and smokes...and the samples no longer "load" visually, if you want to trim it's impossible, but it loads and plays them.
Never use iTunes
Just updated my 5***** rating ...
as per my post, I'm talking about importing samples from our iTunes library into audioshare and blocs versus importing into bm2 which allows you to audition the audio first before you import it.
1 star ? That's just offensive . I haven't rated it yet but will do so today , with 5 stars for being such a unique , useful tool . Yeah there's a few things that need tidying up , but as I'd rate it more than 5 stars taking any away would seem churlish
importing from your iTunes library isn't a mutually exclusive feature, a good sampler will have access to many sample sources.
I must be missing something....
I'm not sure how BM2 fits in Blocs waves, I guess it's different strokes for different folks ...
Personally I got no problem with sample import into Audioshare on 64gb iPad, to import entire folders, classified per type of loops etc so it's organised. (I load AS with more samples than I need) ...to be sure...
Then with a click I go in AS and AUDITION before I import...or cancel, but I can always pre listen, so I don't understand where you can't pre listen in AS...
You need your PC on for that right?
I thought most people dislike iTunes
I totally get what you're saying about workflow @kobamoto
bm2 fits into the discussion via comparison, because it's the only app that allows you to audition audio from your iTunes library before importing.
before you import audio into audio share you cannot audition it, you can only audition audio in audio share after you've imported it.... this is what bm2 can do that audio share cannot do.
I would like blocs wave to have the same capability.
you do not need your computer on for that.... your iTunes library exist on your iPad.
there are people who dislike iTunes because it does not work for them. It has always worked for me, never had 1 problem within years of usage across macs, pcs, and iOS devices.
So I've been playing more. It's such a great app as a way to create, try out and time/pitch adjust loops for use elsewhere.
I have a question though. Is there a quick way to flatten two or three 'blocs' into one (internally in Blocs)? Or do you have to export the mix to Audioshare and then bring back into Blocs?
I'm not sure about the flatten feature I haven't used it, but to truncate audio you have to export to audio share and bring back in....... which is another thing I believe the dev said they'll improve on.... just those two features of 'audition before import and truncate without having to export and re-import will shave years off sampling sessions.
Sorry to disagree @kobamoto but you can truncate audio within Blocs Wave. All you have to do is move the two handles at each end of the wave in edit mode then maybe use the slip function to line it up then flatten it.
the dev said it wasn't possible, so basically you're saying flattening truncates destructively?
thats great news!
It makes a copy of the edited wave, truncated, repitched, retempoed etc.
thanks for the info, I was going to wait for the next update to use it as it still doesn't have panning yet but maybe I'll fudge around with it
I dont think anyone has mentioned the step sequencer?
I just noticed while stuggling to place my drum kicks in a nice 4x4 that if you stop play (cancel play. Press the stop button!) in the slice mode then when you press a slice it moves on one step in the selected record area. Step size can be controlled by zoom level.
I havent worked out how to put blank steps in, I just improvise with a quiet slice for now.
Yep. That's a nice feature. You can just use a low velocity to put a blank step in. And the undo is useful.
I generally just tap out a phrase most times though and use the undo a lot.
Just starting to get some crashes of blocs now when changing from project to project while play is still running
Bing bing bing.
Cool!!!!
Oh. This is by no means a small piece of lovely. Good spot sir....turns out to be very handy...
I've been playing around with things quite a bit, and I realize that it would be really nice to have a way to tune each loop independently of the other loops in a segment. For example, as it is now, each project is composed of 8 loops which are tuned as one to a particular key. I would like each loop to have its own tuning capability. This, and chaining of projects to make a full song mode would really, really, REALLY open up the capabilities of this app!!! Since we have been told that one of the major updates coming is to be able to chain projects together, we are already halfway there!!
What say you all?
We request the ability to tune each loop in a project independently?
I believe they said that independent slicing features like tuning are already on the way if I'm not mistaken,
For me, it's just an extra step that takes me away from main goal of actually creating. Thats the whole point of iOS recording and technology , right? Convenience and efficiency.
As one of the very first fans of this app when it first launched, I've been requesting this feature for awhile. Oh well, at least Remixlive has it;p
If that's part of what I'm requesting, then I'm a very, very happy camper!!!
You can already independently tune user loops in the attributes tab. It might take a little bit of semitone/scale math configuring to get where you want to go in some cases, but you can get any user loop to be at any pitch within an octave, independent from all other loops in the project.
