Thx I’ll need to check it out, I only record audio though and need punch in & out recording so will be interesting to see how this works out for me
Can you not join audio clips?
No, unless you render the track. Can you please tell me what the use case is?
We’ll really just basic arranging eg joining two 4 bar audio clips into one 8 bar clip.
Ok, but why do you need them to be one? What is the problem of having the two clips after each other?
Not really a problem. I guess it’s a visual thing for me when arranging ie I see one 16bar clip as a part of my arrangement eg intro.
It seems I would have to import at least a 16bar loop to achieve this….
It's probably me, but I still don't understand. Putting two 8bar clips after each other is 16 bars. There is no need to glue clips together.
I get what your saying though a pretty common function in other DAW’s (Auria, NS2 etc). Visually I find it helpful when arranging ie I can quickly visualise say a 16-32bar part of a track without looking at the timeline. Or if say I wanted to duplicate a 32bar section of a track I’m not worried about multi selecting 8x 4bar clips repeatedly while developing an arrangement , it’s just bang select & duplicate.
Another use case would be piecing together a guitar solo from several takes and then being able to move that finished solo as a single unit. Also I sometimes build phrases with multiple segments from different loops and want to tie all those loops together once the phrase is how I like it. Yeah, gluing audio clips together would be super handy.
This!

Audio Evolution Mobile Studio v553 for iOS released:
The default sample rate (when not changed by the user yet) is now set to the current audio session's sample rate. On devices with a fixed sample rate, this should prevent some AU instruments, that do not handle different sample rates well, from sounding distorted.
After changing the sample rate, the arm buttons were not responding anymore until the next playback. Solved.

I’d add to this that I like chopping and re-arranging samples/breaks on the timeline, which can leave me with a mess of mini clips across 4/8/16 bars.
When I do this in Ableton, I make use of it’s consolidate (glue) feature all the time to keep everything nicely organised for arrangement (one tap to select the whole desired section of audio, rather than having to grab multiple clips, which can sometimes leave a small clip at the start or end missing, or lead to unintentionally selecting a clip before/after the desired section of audio, resulting in trying to select again). As others have said, this would also be useful for MIDI clips where multiple clips may represent an entire section, which is just easier to look at as being a single part of the song as one single clip when zoomed out and looking at your track from an overall perspective.
Also, while I have your attention and while the topic is on UI design, there’s a bunch of other usability improvements that I think could be made to really help my workflow in AEM personally.
Another instance in which I open the Piano Roll accidentally is when I am trying to select multiple clips on a track in Select Mode. If for example I press two adjacent clips (with the intention of moving them elsewhere), then if I press the second clip soon after the first it’ll open the Piano Roll for that clip, which doesn’t strike me as an action one would make intentionally.
Yet another instance where this occurs for me is when I tap an empty space on a track (e.g. to check its name or the plugin present), then I tap a clip (with the intention of getting to the three dot menu). However if I tap the clip too soon after selecting empty space on the track, it’ll open the Piano Roll.
Long Menus feel very unwieldy to me on my 11” iPad (e.g. the Project Menu). Perhaps this menu could do with a few tabs to separate out the actions. Icons on the right hand side may also help to alleviate the Wall of Text feeling of this menu in particular too.
Editing notes in the Piano Roll is okay, but if it took some inspiration from NanoStudio 2’s Piano Roll it could be great. For example, being able to move around (left/right/transpose) short notes or change the length of a note without having them covered by your finger removes any guesswork in placing them perfectly as intended, and allows for more zoomed out editing so you can see how your note relates to the rest of the clip. Also having +/- Semitone/Octave options is always welcome when trying to do some quick editing.
Trimming MIDI clips would be great. I often get the warning pop up that notes are present in the clip that aren’t in the timeline, which can be flow-breaking as almost all the time this is intentional, so it’s an unnecessary additional step. E.g. I’ll copy an 8 bar MIDI clip to elsewhere in the track, but I’ll reduce the new clip to just the first 4 bars in the timeline as that’s all I need in this particular new location.
A loop toggle for clips would be amazing for repeating clips over a period of time that all maintain any changes I make to the loop clip, just like in GarageBand. E.g. I use an unchanged 4 bar MIDI drum loop over 32 bars of my track, but I want to add an extra hit to all the clips. As of now, I need to make the edit in the first clip, delete the other clips, open the three dot menu and click repeat, think about how many times I want to repeat it with a bit of mental maths, and then I’m set. Ideally, I’d set it to be a looping clip, then just visually drag it out as far as I want it to repeat. A new “clip length’ option would probably be necessary for this too.
Being able to use all functions during playback would be amazing. I often arrange on the fly in other DAWS when I’m listening back to my track (e.g. I’ll decide I need a clip to repeat in a certain place, or cut out in a certain place). Being able to do this on the fly keeps my creative flow going. Having to pause, make my arrangement edits, then re-place the play head, then press play is a bit of a flow-breaker for me. Same goes for actions like enabling loop, cut/copy/paste, etc. It’s nice to make changes while they can be heard!
Trackpad to scroll in the timeline and piano roll would be amazing.
Text search function for plugins would be a massive timesaver (and help keep me in the flow).
Dynamic Audio crossfade would be a huge improvement. In Ableton, you just drag handles between the two clips to alter the slope and length of the crossfade without the need for creating a new clip - this makes tuning the crossfade to be just right super easy and fast.
Show Vocal Tune Studio changes on the timeline (for example to see visually if it’s lining up with other instruments)
Place stretch markers in VTS more accurately. Right now I have to try a few times to get the marker straight onto a transient, having a visual guide before the marker is placed would be great, e.g. if you double tap and hold, show the marker placement as your finger moves, but don’t actually place the marker until the finger is lifted.
I’m absolutely loving AEM and I’m super excited for its future as the most complete mobile DAW! Thanks so much for all the amazing updates recently. And sorry for the wall of text!
You can already select 'Merge clips' for MIDI.
So, for audio, if I just add an option 'Merge selected clips' to the clip pop-up menu which gets displayed when the clip and other clips on the same track are in the selected state and no non-selected clips are in between, then render these to one file and replace them with the rendered clip, it would be OK?
I’d add that being able to include empty space (where no clips are present between clips) in the new clip would be very useful. I’ll often leave empty space between vocal chops or drum hits on the timeline when slicing samples.
E.g. The new clip would be a result of everything from the start of the first selected clip to the end of the last selected clip, with empty space rendering as silence in the new clip if any area is empty/clip-less. This is how consolidating works in Ableton Live.
I’d also find this useful for merging MIDI clips.
Yes, that's the only way I had in mind anyway. Ok, should take an hour or so.
Dang! Where do I go to nominate @dwrae for dev of the year award? It is the holiday season, man! Take a break and relax! Seriously, thank you so much for creating one of the best DAWs on iOS/padOS and for your unprecedented attention to your customer base! 🙏
I love the energy!
Would it possible to get an option for auto fades like Ableton has? I think this would be especially useful on a mobile platform
Truly an unbelievable response
I’m casting my anonymous vote!
Wow amazing!
Outstanding. I'm another user who will find the merge audio clip feature useful.
Something like this?

Please note that the video does not show correctly on Windows/Chrome, but does in Safari, so I hope you can see it. I also didn't find an easy way to show taps (it's just a simple option on Android, but on iOS it seems it requires a horrible number of settings and steps which I failed to perform). Anyway, in the video, I select 3 clips, select 'Merge audio clips' and then also show Undo and Redo.
