P.S.: To change the default bounce mode/behavior - the factory default could be either “freeze” or “bounce in place with FX” - just do a long-press/force touch and choose an option as new default.
Sorry. When I think of a Freeze button I think of Cubasis. Using "Freeze" as the term seems like copying their product. So, I was thinking you could have a similar function using a new term. Would "Audio Stem" help bring the EDM power user (Ableton savy) and the new user together? Or "Wav Track"?
Until recently I had no idea what a "Stem" is... turns out it's an audio recording of some length. What's unusual about them now is that they get sliced by new processing tools based upon transients and played randomly and reversed or stretched or whatever king of mangling you can think of. But they call them stems vs samples or loops. Leaning new words is not a bad thing when that word opens up new worlds of sound production.
Your product is a solid multitrack tape recorder. There are maybe 20 of them. Add features we request and you'll be a standout and deserve to raise the price for "added value".
"Value Add" in the business world means taking an idea and improving it rather than just copying it. If you can't "Add Value" over Cubasis then they don't need to respond to your improvements. Two products that progress by adding value raise the bar over time. Apple and Microsoft did for many years and continue to do so. There's stealing ideas and there's inspiring innovation and the difference is just a matter of the features implemented.
I just want the "one button" step no matter what it' called. Currently, I stuck waiting for some Apps to get fixed after IOS 12 dropped. Apple doesn't believe I should be able to go back to IOS 11 and keep working. So, I wait...
This.
AEM already adds value by being simple, supports iPhone, supports AU, and is less than 1/5 of the price of Cubasis.
Whatever it’s going to be called, the freeze function should be as simple as possible to be in keeping with the app.
Guys, I'll just do the Cubasis way. Freeze the instrument/audio track (show it greyed out, unload the fx and instrument), render the track and add it to a new track. The 'Render audio to file' option will remain and after rendering, a dialog will appear to insert the new track into the project. Of course, all of this can be expanded in future.
^this.
Works for me.
Quick question: does anyone know how to rename a project folder? I know how to save as on a prj file but the folder name remains the same.
Sound perfectly great to me. Thanks.
(I presume we can unfreeze and the AUs will reload in the ‘state’ they were before they were frozen?)
Does anyone happen to know the answer to my question about how to set the mod wheel lfo frequency on soundfonts?
He means adding Freeze will only bring AEM up to the level of the other DAWs. You need to add more to put yourself ahead.
Nicely stated. Lead the race. Don't just follow. I think you can out code them over a few years by listening to power users and adding the right features.
The only thing I'm confused about is if AU's will ever be stable and scalable. Freezing is the only way to use them.
This sounds simple and, more to the point, saves cpu and ram (while preserving the midi, effects, synths and settings). It gives us the audio track to further manipulate as necessary. I still think this is the correct course of action.
But I must say it pleases me to see so many people passionate about this awesome app!
Assumably so. It wouldn’t really be a freeze function without being able to “unfreeze “ and restore everything.
The developer (Davy Wentzler = @dwrae) makes this a conversation with interaction. If you find a bug you'll get a fix or a at least good reason why it's not a bug. With too many developer's you just get silence and not even acknowledgement that the issue exists.
I'm sure more developer's behave this way but I'm too new to IOS Music to have had this experience before finding this great App and it's owner.
The price means it opens IOS for more people to have robust recording studios. $50 is just beyond the reach for many. But $7 is perfect.
I recommended the App to a New User and almost got sucked into supporting it's use but she found Davy (@dwrae) and got the right answer to import MIDI as a "MIDI Instrument" and not raw "MIDI".
NOTE: Being able to convert later in the process would make a nice enhancement - "convert track to...".
That feature was added in the last release.
It is probably defined in the soundfont, AEM does not do anything with it and just sends a MIDI CC event 1 (modulation). However, I see BASS MIDI has defined the following events:
MIDI_EVENT_MOD_FILTER Set the maximum effect of modulation (MIDI controller 1) on filter cutoff.
param : filter cutoff effect in cents (0=-9600, 9600=none, 19200=+9600).
MIDI_EVENT_MOD_PITCH Set the maximum effect of modulation (MIDI controller 1) on pitch.
param : pitch effect in semitones (0=-24, 24=none, 48=+24).
MIDI_EVENT_MOD_VIBRATO Set the maximum effect of modulation (MIDI controller 1) on vibrato depth (MIDI RPN 5).
param : vibrato depth effect in cents (0=none, 128=100, 256=200, etc).
MIDI_EVENT_MOD_VOLUME Set the maximum effect of modulation (MIDI controller 1) on volume.
param : volume effect percentage (0=-100, 100=none, 200=+100).
So I guess it could be modified, but there is no option in AEM to do so.
Ok thanks! Too bad, I found a nice oboe soundfont that plays with no vibrato (in theory a great idea - you can add that expression yourself). Unfortunately it responds to the mod wheel with an insanely fast vibrato. The frustratingly almost-there world of free soundfonts...
Assume nothing
Download the free Polyphone sf2 editor and edit the soundfont to do what you want. It's hard to match everybody's taste, you know
You cannot do that in the app. Perhaps the Files app allows you to rename, I'm not sure, otherwise you would need the start the Media Server and rename it from a PC/Mac.
The Home button in the File browser takes you right to the Samples folder of the current project.
I don’t think you can get to AEM from the files app - I can’t see it as a location anyway. Proper support of the files app would be epic as it’s the best thing that’s happened to iOS for years.
Files support was added a couple of releases ago. As a matter of fact I just did it and it worked.
Yes Cubasis style all the way! Thanks for such awesome DAW! Looks and works wonders on a lowly iPhone SE.
Thanks, good to know.
Ah, my bad, found it! Need to go to ‘on my iphone’ in locations.
@dwrae : When I spilt an audio sample and try to put it back together again I get a prompt that says “Yiur samples are overlapping- should you like to cross-fade?”..
Sonif I press crissfsde there’s a glitch in the audio. . Why is that ?
It's hard to say without the project here. If you have a possibility to zip the project and send it to me, I will have a look.
@dwrae : It might be easier to recreate it via iPhone video of iPad Pro. I’ll email it to you, thanks
