Bug fixes are another thing. A developer owes the customer a working app as advertised. I think most devs don't actually promise anything else. They may say what their plans are, even what they're working on. That's no promise their plans won't change. There's no legal commitment, and if they do promise adding features for free, what they're promising is a gift. Buyers should be aware of that.
Agree with @lovadamusic.
Slightly changing the subject, does anyone here use external disks for Auria? Can a external disk store sample libraries or just projects? What is the largest external disk currently supported by iOS?
I spend a lot of trying to outfox the parent-teenager logjam and appeals to game-theory (and an explanation of its rudiments) seems to have been the most effective method. I use the paradigm of apps, development of/support of etc. a fair bit. Of course Mrs. Goodyear thinks I'm modeling manipulative behavior and tells us both to shut up and drink our milk.
You'll be happy then to know that you do not need to buy every IAP again. Install both auria standard and pro, then in pro go to settings and on one of the pages there is an option to transfer the purchases. Then you can delete standard auria when the process successfully works.
Not directed at you or anyone in particular, but somehow people have this image of rim as a rich guy counting his millions in his tower as a result of owning a software company. I don't know him personally but I'm going to guess that his apps don't keep him in the Ferrari of the month club. If you have conversations via email he will get back to you, I'm not a fanboy, I just know that my interactions with him have been positive.
It's an interesting subject that of expectations of apps in the sense of production and upkeep of a 'working app'. Updates, bugs, moving goalposts, expansion expectations, responsibilities, legal requirements, guidelines, ethical implications, economies of scale and other economic factors etc. Even what people consider a bug is not black and white.
Too deep a subject to slip into this thread, but interesting non the less.
Another variation on this trick is if you read Kindle books on your iPad or your phone, you can highlight sections and then save them in a notebook for book clippings. The nice thing about this is that Evernote will automatically save the title of the book and a thumbnail of the cover along with the quote.
Plus with Evernote, you could share your gleanings with the rest of us automatically.
Yes, I could spam @JohnnyGoodyear every time I highlight a passage in a book I'm reading
So, if I want to use Auria Pro for audio only mixing, no instruments needed just audio FX, what is the minimum install size I will be able to get ?
It's listed as just shy of 900MB and I managed to delete just shy of 500MB worth of Lyra samples. However, in storage it seems to be just over 800MB without Lyra and 1.3GB with. Who knows!
By the way in the process I noticed that Samplr had reached 1.2GB.. quick purge and reinstall took it down to 51mb, haha!
The 900 MB must be its initial size wit the Lyra samples added on top I guess. Not good for me, I would really like to take advantage of the offer, and use the mixing facilities of Auria, but just do not have the available space on the iPad, I have trimmed back as much as I can leaving just enough working room for a project, and cannot reduce any further that I can currently see.
So, I can export samples > @AndyPlankton said:
While I was backpacking recently, there was an app on sale I wanted but didn't have room, nor did I need right then. But, I bought at the sale price, started the download, then stopped It. A couple months later when I got home and did have the room, installed then.
Hot tip...thanks
Hovering over the buy button now....wondering if I buy it and then Cubasis 2.0 adds decent mixer options, will I regret spending the £18.99 
Also, that trick of using iTunes, trying to download a DVD rental you don't have room for, (Cleopatra is 10GB) then checking your storage for how much room iOS cleared up for you (optimized), etc. really works.
I've done it more than a dozen times over the last few months and works great. Haven't lost anything that I know of. Must be clearing out some cache or something.
I do it until it doesn't return a storage gain. Recently I was down to 1.5GB free. Did the "trick" 3 times in a row and brought that up to almost 7GB.
But did you have to actually rent the Richard Burton/Elizabeth Taylor vehicle?
Joy.
@AndyPlankton
Really can't see you regretting the buy long term. It really is worth it for certain features and Twin2 alone.
Problem for you my friend is space. I know how you struggle.
If I was you I would still buy it. Can you delete any excess from Launchpad etc?
No not really, I am on bare minimum on there 600 MB, and if I remove anymore I will have to rebuild my LP sessions to get them back
I'm currently on 1.2 gb free, with no audio tracks in any projects, just midi.....I could probably get some more back from blocks wave which is currently 600Mb.
I've already removed all my cubasis projects apart from the one I am currently working on.
Time to make nice with Santee Claws...
I'm afraid that's a no go for at least another year, got too many family things to deal with, so £20 is mu budget LOL, no room for new hardware
, I used up that token with my Circuit , Launchpad and Launchcontrol XL this year.
To be honest, however much Auria Pro could improve your mixing ability, if you don't have the space, it's going to be a pretty painful experience in some ways. Buy it for the future if you can afford it, but no point in running your iPad on thin air. I've found that you need a reasonable amount of spare room for certain apps to work smoothly.
If you have enough space for Cleopatra, it will rent it. Only do it if you aren't showing enough space. iOS will attempt to clear enough space beh> @AndyPlankton said:
Try the iTunes trick of trying to rent something too large in HD like Cleopatra. Only try if you don't have enough room for the 10GB of cleopatra, or you will end up renting it.
I was nervous about this when I first read about it, but as I said, I've done it several times now it's no negative results. I don't know what iOS is clearing out, but I'm guessing its various cache, old email attachments, etc. does not appear to be anything vital that I've noticed.
If it works for you as it has for me, you'll gain at least a good 5-7 extra GBs of storage.
WARNING
I used to use the rent a film trick to gain back space.
I used it successfully many times. One time it funked up my iPad completely. I had to reload the whole iPad from scratch!
Just be warned its a risk.
I have 7.5 left on my 'performance' device. If I run this trick and it clears enough to reach 10GB, will it rent it?
I don't know. I've only done it when I'm down to around 1.5-3GB left. I also stop trying the exactly when it doesn't restore much storage, i.e. don't push your luck & heed @Fruitbat1919 's warning.
I typically move anything critical off my iPad to backup storage anyway. So if it ever hosed my install, it wouldn't be that big a deal. I've lost too much data on iOS devices due to crapped out charge ports, bad new battery installs, water damage, etc. anything worth saving, gets moved off as soon as it's deemed to have any value at all.
@skiphunt same here with the saving anything precious now. That nightmare feeling when you lose that special something. I lost a stack of Mitosynth sounds I'd spent an age making and forgot to back up
Well, I tried it, and it gave me 100mb more space lol.
Try it a second time. I've had it only free up a 100mb the first time, then 3GB more the second. Then another 3GB the third try.
If it doesn't free up anymore space the second try, give up and don't try again.
Just thinking aloud:
You use Gadget mostly to make your tracks.
You want to make segments to trigger from Launchpad.
Carry on making the tracks in Gadget and then copy the project. Strip the project copy back to make the loop then send to external storage. Clean up loop as needed and send to Launchpad. Delete all copies as they will be externally stored.
Anything that need major adjustments can still be altered from your saves and you still have the main project too.
No need for Auria Pro for doing this. Auria Pro is great and a steal at the offer, yet do you really need it for how you make music at this time?
I just bought Auria Pro and the standard install was 1.7 GB. I deleted the demo song and it went down to 1.3 GB. I haven't deleted any Lyra instruments.
