That's the only one that comes to my mind.I always had an eye on it but couldn't get much feedback how well (or not)it works as AU. „Remaster - Audiobus and Audiocopy“ von Audioforge Labs Inc.

Remaster- awesome
Super stable
Use it daily
Universal
nuff said
sweet! I might have to give that one a try.
I don't have Remaster, but I would bet SiLQ could be a great contender if the dev decided to make it AU. I think it's design would lend itself well to the format as well.
Still waiting for the day all the Fabfilter plugins in Auria become AUs. You'd think it would happen at some point.
It is kind of surprising to me that more developers haven't port their Apps to AU, AU is so much more stable than IAA, look at the AU implementation in AUM,brilliant.
I use Remaster AU all the time, its super nice.
AUFX peakQ and AUFX Push would be so nice in AU version.
This looks good! I think I'm going to use it with MTS as the EQ is fiddly in that — too much dial fiddling to get what you want.
Doug has a vid for this (pre-AU)
It doesn't pay to port apps into AU (you can't charge for them, so people who have already purchased your app cannot pay again) and Apple does absolutely nothing to promote them. Also Apple's documentation and examples were pretty terribad initially. They're getting better but still. Also, it's a lot of work to redesign an app from full screen into Apple's weird suggestion for how AUX should fit into GarageBand. I could go on but those are just some of the reasons.
agreed, frome a developers point of view there is not a lot of financial insensible to port to au. however I do know that I have been using my au plugins probablly 3 times as much as my non-Au plugins. it just works so smoothly. Hopefully devs can develop support over time. because it is a great benefit to the user.
Humm ... I almost automatically buy anything new as soon as I learn it has AU support, so maybe there is some financial incentive there. I doubt I would ever have bought any of the BlamSoft plugins since I never had heard of Viking, and I already had AUFX's FX. I heard they had AU support and bought the bundle within minutes. Same for Frekvens. Woulda never bought that one or even have heard about it.
If I already had AUM when I considered buying Auria Pro, and then I found out that it doesn't support AUs, I'm pretty sure I would have held off (glad I didn't though).
@Sebastian I don't claim to know anything about app development economics, but I sense that more buy / no buy decisions may be made based on AU support than you realize. Kind of like AB and Link support are a strong factor. Just my two cents.
Hadn't thought of it that way, but even though I am an app-tart, I am far more likely to buy something that's AU, especially 1000-fold of course effects etc.
they are not. Most of professional iOS musician do care about interconnectivity. Not so much tho: if a INSTRUMENT does its job, that's it. They more likely have another pad for another instrument rather than cluttering one only device. Then anyway the technician will mix em on a Midas or other top range gear.
I think that all the AB, IAA, AU etc is a godsend for broken producers like me but for a more serious approach the platform isn't just reliable enough/too much in its infancy, hence low prices, low profits, short span engagement from the devs and so on.
Not that I'm especially passionate about the topic, but I dispute your logic there @mschenkel.it. I bet for every 1 professional iOS musician out there, there are at least 1,000 boobs like me that do nothing more serious with iOS music than suck up all their free time and blow out their eardrums in the headphones. Of those I think there may be a significant number that actually care about stuff like AU support. Not because they need it, but because they're geeks.
I'd be willing to bet that if developers are looking for numbers of potential sales, casual musicians with one, maybe two devices (iPad + iPhone) are by far the majority of new customers. I would be flabbergasted if professional iOS musicians were a significant percentage.
@wim
You are absolutely right. On everything. Geek stuff for geeks made by geeks. And that's how far it goes.
But I really think the times are mature enough to reach the next level. electronic instruments took almost a half century to be considered instruments, computer music had its 25 years run to be considered a serious thing(which needed Internet and piracy to get kids like Martin Garrix to reach top 10 at 15 with just a hacked copy of fl), mobile will most likely take 15 years or so(5 from today as palmsounds just had its 10th birthday)to reach a decent level of consideration.
And to keep developing apps for music it has to be a desirable market and with prices lower than 50 quids it won't really ever be so desirable. So no devs, no apps, no mobile musician.
Agreed,i bought all the blamsoft as well for example,JUST because they are AU,otherwise i have really enough FX (or instruments) for AB and IAA.
Agree on your above points here too.
Personally I'm just hoping I'm not too old to care before Fl Mobile 3 comes out.
This. I only realized just how great a tool this app is a few months back. Now it's a default stop in my mastering process to widen the stereo field and make any last minute gain/compression adjustments before I take a track back into Auria to face the mighty Pro-L and Pro-DS
It was just about the first AU effect, too, if I remember arightly ...
Still, @tonappas, I'd love to see SilQ as an AU unit ... with that pesky wet/dry slider, of course
See, that's the problem there. You buy anything new that has AUX support. Updating existing apps with AUX support does not really make a significant difference in sales.
Then there's the lack of discovery for them for the general public - I'm not talking about the hard core iOS musicians frequenting this forum or Discchord.com/Synthtopia/any other iOS music blog.
For non-highly-informed iOS musicians updates with AUX support are virtually invisible.
I'd love to see SilQ as a universal app. I love that eq. and as a vst plugin for desktop daws. it is very very good !! > @eustressor said:
Your first point isn't logical to me. You could say the same for any feature. Of course there's no sales benefit to adding any feature for existing users. But that doesn't stop developers from constantly adding new features. Virtually all of them lack "discovery" for the general public.
Maybe what it's just that adding AUX support is so difficult, time consuming, messy, or maintenance intensive that it seems more trouble than it's worth? That I get. If you say that updating existing apps with AUX support does not really make a significant difference in sales, I can't argue, not being a developer.
I can say one thing though. If I didn't already own AudioBus when AUM came along, and I knew that AUM hosts AUs and AudioBus doesn't. I would buy AUM, not AudioBus. I simply wouldn't see the need for both any more. I hate saying something like that because I love both apps. But if I was a new customer that would be my thought process.
Maybe there aren't as many people like me as I think there are. You would know that better than me for sure.
