or 7 if yr not quick enough at typing ;-)
Are we able to buy it from our iPhones yet?
could be because you have ‘link to transport’ selected.. in which case it stops n starts when yr host stops n starts..
or, as mr hunt says, could be residual bug.. i usually saw this when i put the app into the background.. though it wasn’t predictable... haven’t seen it yet in newest beta..
I don't think so... since it's not officially universal yet. And whether or not it'll be officially universal before the launch sale ends... only the dev knows. The latest beta build works as universal, but I don't know how much more tweaking and testing it needs for small screen scaling, etc. before he releases it. I would guess not, but who knows? He's made great leaps in tweaking/bug squashing in very short periods of time before... but I couldn't say for sure if it'll be ready for iPhone use before the sale ends.
Best to ask the dev.
Ah ok, great!
Is it fixed in the current release, or just the beta?
Looks like I need to make a decision as the offer ends soon.
tt> @MonzoPro said:
yeah, the optimisations for the heat stuff / automations are in the current beta 1.02 and the version in the store is 1.01 ..
so you would have to take a punt and maybe wait a few more days for it to be all ‘cool’
I haven’t found any issues yet with new beta but then i am only testing it in cubasis and as stand alone... I don’t have an iphone so the ‘universality’ testing is a distant land to me.
I’ve found the saturation quite harsh on the ears and lacking warmth, was this in the design? Very low levels of the effect cause harsh harmonics. I’m digging the app apart from this one aspect.
I just noticed that when you save your loops in RE-1 that it saves them as 32-bit files. Does anyone know of a trick to get them to save at 16 or 24 bit instead?
Fixed in beta. Now saves 2chan 24bit
@ka010 Please can the 32bit save be left as an option. Makes sense when recording sometime out of control volume swells. Can always bring back an above 0 dB audio file in post.
I think I’m going to stop commenting on anything related to the beta. It's kind of awkward, likely inappropriate, and it ultimately just muddies the waters.
Just one final comment though... this dev is obsessively working to forge this into a rock solid app that incorporate most of the requested features that make sense. The beta updates are coming regularly and the dev is most certainly on the case and committed to making this app as near to perfect as he can.
That was just a visual glitch, audio processing should not have been affected. It's fixed with the new animations though.
It can get quite harsh rather fast, opinions vary though most seems to like it the way it works at the moment.
It's still 32bit actually but 2ch instead of just one like it was originally. That said, I've been meaning to add an export dialogue do allow for some options like setting bitdepth or applying a crossfade. Currently thats It's on my list for the 1.1 update.
Also, +1 for weird cat shirts
Thanks for the intel :-) I do like the app.
Maybe in a far off future update a less distortion like saturation switch could be added to this parameter.
Thanks for listening.
LOL
Been having a lot of fun with this. Haven't done much 'deep tweaking' yet but the sounds I've gotten running the Moog Model D app through it as an effect are fantastic. Will be exploring looping more deeply in a bit today.
loving this app so far, but getting lots of crackles, even in low cpu usage. like under 50. need to figure out this crackle thing. sometimes it seems it's the actual re-1. have only tried it in aum so far.
anyways, plugged my prophet in last night and looped a little, going through some presets i had saved. thing sounds amazing.
Lots of crackles on my 2018 iPad, too, with rather low CPU according to AUM. I consider asking for a refund for this one, which would be a first time for me.
well, I'm not sure where the issue lies. because I can have some pretty intense gadget sessions and intense mixing sessions in auria with no crackle. I guess problem arises because I bring buffer to 128 if I'm playing in so the lag doesn't throw me off. but again, didn't even reach 50% on this video. and I was getting the crackle without the screen recorder as well
I had a problem at first with CPU use (which seemed to build over time) but after adding/removing some different apps and doing a bit of tweaking, had a setup running between 78-92% for 4-5 hours with very little crackling (and that was only from GUI interaction). After that, did a bit of trimming to get me to into the sub 50 range (including Moog Model D, Sugar Bytes WOW and 2x RE-1) and ran for 6+ hours without an issue. Definitely more processor hungry than Kosmonaut though.
EDIT: Air2 at 512/2 frame buffer, iCA4+ (this gives me a realtime latency which is acceptable for performance)
FWIW: in 3 months of testing on iPad Pro 10.5, I've never had any crackling at all. Mostly use apeMatrix, but sometimes AUM as well.
There's a new version 1.1 that should be dropping soon. Jus' sayin...
But, do what ya gotta do.
The beta versions have seen a STEEP improvement in processor efficiency for me. Hopefully it will continue to improve in that regard but it's already to a level that I'd perform with it. I've never had a crash with the app with any version either (we're not talking about that right now but it came to mind while I was typing!)
before digging in I think this is the main issue, buffer. I can't deal with 512 if I'm playing guitar or keys. I constantly fixate on the late attack and it takes me out of the moment. m I can try 256 but have been pushing 128, which is what I was used to in the computer world..
just checked and gadget on my phone is 512, but I never record real instruments, just a bit with my korg nanokeys studio. and then usually slide notes or quantize. but I don't feel too much lag there.
512 on iOS software is atrociously delayed and un-usable, but 512 with an iCA4+ and hardware frame buffer of 2 is really pretty quick -- pretty much un-noticeable with a MIDI controller and not enough to be a problem with a live instrument (such as guitar) or vocals. We perform with these settings.
hmmm. I had a ca4+ and hated dealing with it, user error most likely but I totally killed my vibe when I would want to use it. never thought that latency buffer issues would be different depending on the device used (I use the zoom u-44).
When recording just on the iPad 128 is required .... 256 max. Playback you can raise it to 512.
The enormity of the difference shocked and pleased me.
