Fabfilter AUv3
I asked FabFilter about their next auv3 plugin and have been told they are working on converting the rest of their plugins as well. which is pretty effing sweet news for me.
Comments
That is sweet news, but not for my wallet!
Bad news for the Auria guy
I don’t think it’s really logical to put it like this. I think in reality he was just smart enough to get ahead of the game. The rest of the world catching up isn’t a loss for him — just the natural end of an advantageous head start that he earned for himself. He still has the most powerful & professional DAW on the platform which is fully up to date with the cutting edge technologies available at this time.
I do wish that buying the FabFilter AU plugins activated them in Auria though (although I agree that it can’t be the other way around), otherwise who the hell is going to buy the Auria native version anymore if they don’t already own the AU??!
Bad news for the stupid guy (like me) who have to buy the suite twice ...It would be kind from Fabfilter to give promo codes for those who already have the plugins in Auria ...Commercial gestures are welcome .
Significantly better performance within Auria for the native versions might be one reason.
I would be annoyed too but can really understand why it’s not possible commercially or technically.
It’s bad news in the sense that every time there’s a discussion about which is the best iOS daw the availability of the fab plugins was always trotted out as the reason Auria was the best, seldom recall people posting that Auria has the slickest piano roll or clearest UI
I agree, fabfilter is the main selling feature for many users when Auria is concerned. Rim & co will have to come up with something better, like a more friendly UI, to compete with other DAWs.
So, did you get a general idea of when the next is going to be released?
That's a bit consumption driven for my comfort, haha .. but I can only speak for myself. Never owned any of the FabFilter apps (or used any AU plugin or otherwise in Auria) and would never even consider another iOS DAW for any of the tracking/editing/mixing work I do with Auria -- of course there are more 'fun' apps out there for making patterns, but I don't think anything exists that comes close to the level of accuracy and professional toolset that Auria offers? (although I'll fully admit that Auria's MIDI is not that nice to work with).
You should consider the fabfilter eq and compression unless you switch to the PC/laptop at some point after working in Auria for processing or you have hardware equivalents. I mean this in a friendly way 🙂
Auria midi is plain garbage to say the least. It cannot even start sync with other sequencers properly. But speaking for myself, fabfilter plugs are so over the top that I can't imagine myself mixing and mastering without Auria.
I'm more of a performance specialist, so most of the work I do is in prepping live samples and material for software instruments. Max I need to do is 'clean things up' and get the overall volume consistent. PSP strips are more than good enough for this. I'd like to get the FabFilter plugins inside Auria but in my use case, for the novelty of having a fancy plugin the price is too high. If I was earning from mixing and mastering tracks I'd pick them up for sure.
It's fine as a 'timeline' (IE. recording a performance) but I wouldn't want to compose on it. I don't 'write' MIDI on a piano roll, because it's quicker/easier to just play it in (and if I was going to 'write' MIDI data, I'd probably export from a scoring app).
Auria is still the best mixing app on the platform by far. I don't think the FabFilters going AUv3 is going to change that, and there's still a significant performance advantage to using the Auria native versions.
I think a much bigger threat to Auria would be if the rumours about Logic coming to iOS turn out to be true. That would do some damage.
I’m more interested in the fab news about about more FF AU’s.
I’m sure AP will be fine and FF will be fine...iOS Production will grow, and this is fine by me.
all they told me was “its going to take some time but we are going to convert all our plugins”
exactly.
I would imagine there is one dev doing the conversions, which is why it's going to take time.
The humane thing will be to trickle them out.
Can’t agree with this 😂
Great to hear that the first AU release went well enough to warrant more.
I can’t be spending 600$ on apps next year... ack... ...ack2
Mmmmm.... so pretty...
...ok maybe I can...
Delicious!
Very true! After falling in love with ProQ2 I was a bit anxious about this. Awesome to hear.
I’m one of those “stupid” people that bought the IAPs for Auria and now I’m gobbling up any Fabfilter apps as fast as I can get them. For me, I bought those IAPs a year or two ago and if I spent my time thinking of money for things I could’ve waited on I would be a frustrated dude, so I don’t. I’ve also bought crappy cars in the past but life goes on. I love Fabfilter and thank god I got them in Auria so I already know how good they’re going to be wherever I put them.
I'm not pro, but, generally speaking, if you're going to buy just one type of tool/effect, or especially if you need one that can range from gentle to "surgical", it's hard to beat most of the fabfilter products. Try not to fall into the trap of making music with your eyes, though, when using them. Better yet, get the surgical tool AND a different tool with known, lovely, character - both will force you to work in different ways, or be solutions to different problems, etc.
$40 per for Fabfilter is kind of a steal. Better yet would be when they have enough to sell a bundle.
I got two of the Fabs in Auria but just cant get along with Auria. I reinstall it every now and then for another go but never works out.
Auria is the main DAW I use now on iOS and the Fabs work great in it. Not too fussed about them becoming AU.
I just hope they push the gate and DS to the very back of the line
