"MYSTERY TO ME": App you never quite grasped?

As a confirmed "Newb" and appaholic (a dangerous combination) I have invested and struggled to learn the following:
Midiflow
Audioshare
AUM
Drum Perfect Pro
Auria Pro
I wish there were dedicated "How to" videos explaining step by step how these all work. Even with a manual, these are Greek to me! It makes want want to take a huge nap!
Well, I am a very untechnical guy, in every way, but I would suggest you at least double back down with Audioshare.
Bebot must be installed on all iOS musicians' devices at all times. You don't have to use it or anything but....one day the Mighty Bebot will cast his gaze upon you and you will be called. Something like that.
There is a dedicated How To on Auria available on Lynda.com. It's 2.5 hours long. I think it's before Auria Pro, but it still holds except for the midi. I'm waiting until I have such a block of time myself!
There's a total DPP obsessive who has devoted his time to creating a complete tutorial to the app.
It is true that there's no good AUM tutorial, although I have been assisted by several people here (wim and mschenkel, if I recall correctly). I'll send a link when I can find it.
As for AudioShare? It's not really FOR anything, but you can clean up audio tracks and so on. It's mostly a storage bin for sound files to be shared among apps.
Sunvox though I haven't really tried to get past the initial wtf?.
I still haven't really conquered Modstep though I'm past the initial wtf.
Using Different Drummer 'productively'.
iMPC Pro
For those who've said Loopy... is it Loopy or live looping that's giving you gas? Do you live loop with other apps that work better for you?
@MonzoPro when you say
...never seem to get it to sync nicely.do you mean the app being in sync with other apps/devices or the timing of the captured loops? If captured loops, are the offset from other things or not smoothly looping?MIDI SEQUENCER --- ananlog one by Saunders or the non AB one by IGOR?
Different Drummer - One night it all made sense.
The next day, it seemed like a dream.
All I had was the song that I know I did with it. Don't know how.
Hoping the grid finally changes it.
I can't manage DD without grid mode on. When off, it becomes more of a derailed train for me. I have some YT vids explaining a few concepts, but this thread got me thinking about the use of webinars to help people....hosted by one of the app's gurus, or even the dev. Thoughts?
The ones I couldn't quite get my heed round were the donut a kind member here sent me a vid to it, but I still find it mysterious, another old one called chippad. Also bitwiz, I have an inbuilt safety mechanism that protects me from code, I blame coming through on command line os's when I was a lad.
I'd pay for that. But maybe that's what Patreon is?
Sunvox and Jasuto
iVCS 3 (although I still keep it, some of the weird things that come out of it are worth sampling for sure!)
And it's too early to say but man is zmors modular something else!
I have no idea how Loopy isn't understandable.
I wish I could help people. Loopy is probably the easiest most intuitive app of any for me.
I wouldn't mind hosting one for DD for free, if there's enough interest, and I could figure out a webinar solution that wouldn't cost anything. Others might be willing to do the same. Ideally, the webinar could be recorded, since we're scattered across so many time zones.
Great idea. Google Hang Out? join.me is free for up to 10. Both gotomeeting and join.me have 30 day free trials if you expect more than 10.
Fieldscaper. It looks so beautiful, but leaves me so cold.
However, Soundscaper and I have spent much quality time together.
I spend lots of entertaining time messing about with it alone, but can rarely find a place where it sits comfortably along with other apps.
You almost have to make the whole song with Animoog if youre using it all. It overpowers everything else with its huge sounds and the sound character is so distinct.
@johnfromberkeley set up some Google Hang Outs before, and I thought that was a good idea, but I don't recall if you could share your screen. If so, that might be the best bet, although depending on the app, there may be more than 10 interested. I'm also not sure if you can record the sessions. I'll do some digging as well, and see what I can find.
Model 15. It is an emulation of hardware with all kinds of weird mods that only make sense from a perspective of what was possible with the original circuitry, that are just too convoluted to get interested in, when there are full modular synths that are so much easier to grasp. I do enjoy the presets and the sound quality very much though. Just not the rat's nest of old timey signal flow.
Soundscaper, which I like very much, is remains a mystery to me, with all of the digital addressing grids and whatnot. Most of the time when I touch a control nothing happens. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just mysterious.
Wavemapper and Wave Generator are very interesting to me, and beautiful sounding, but I have no clue what's going on. Nothing wrong with them, they are just unique synthesizers that take a manual to understand what on earth is happening, and with iOS, there are so many flavors and instant gratification, it can be hard to find the time to invest in learning a deep synth, on a well stocked ipad.
I use it all the time no problem, just gotta know how to pick the right sounds
Yeah I'm bad at that with Animoog, I make patches that move way too much and take up huge frequency space. It's the one synth I can't bring myself to tone down.
Midiflow, I just can't get into the workflow and can't get it to work consistently but the funny thing it's that IMIDIpatchbay, by the same developer, it's one my used apps of all time and essential on my live setup.
I'd love to do a webinar for DD to reduce the confusion for such a simple basic concept. Maybe use Facebook live video? The secret sauce is mixing grids with free waves which are actually just higher resolution grids.
Anything with midi. I'd love to be able to use Drum Perfect Pro.
I have certainly found this to be so.
Do it! Just not on Facebook, please.
Exactly. Sometimes I imagine myself with any of these apps you reference and it's, say, 1985, and there are no other apps at all and, say, the alien fellow has come by my room and given me an iPad to play with, no other apps, only these, and I can't tell anyone else about them (or it or him) and there are no manuals, no forums, no you tubes, just long happy nights of no sleep until I had it all puzzled out perfectly.
But, you know, that would be thirty years ago and despite all the others issues of time and space I have a thousand apps now and with it there may be one or two problems of choice, but I just can't bring myself to complain about them...
I'm relieved to see other people post iVC3 as a mystery. I know its legendary status as a vintage synth, but it just leaves me cold and confused.
Different Drummer, Gestrument, and Sector.
I know so many folks adore Sector, and anything from Kymatica is an instant buy for me... But I still don't really get it.
