I didn’t pick this up when it dropped as I hoped by BF we would of seen one or two more Fab plugins ported to iOS and grab them all on sale. But of course nothing new and the AU version is the only one not on sale this BF. I have them all in Auria so I guess I shouldn’t be complaining haha.
It’s funny to me now that I own better mixing plugs on my iPad then I do on my iMac.
I’m hoping some other big effect plug ins devs will start making iOS versions too.
Great news
It was very easy to port them to Auria because Rim did most of the work I think, by creating some sort of 'VST wrapper' in Auria. Something like that.
i hate the fact every time there's an upgrade, you have to pay quite a chunk for you simply have to buy it!
ProQ3 Introduction Video with Dan Worrall :
I would like the Pro R for AU.....
Nice that I got their synth....cough....I mean Synthmaster One.........
Dynamic EQ looks awesome indeed. Some compression added to an already impressive plugin.
Maybe the only EQ i would buy. But the (desktop) price is a bit like Apple....over the place.
But yes....it‘s really good and if it comes to iOS we have at least one of the best EQ‘s you can get.
Dan is the man when it comes to overview and tutorial vids, he makes everything look a bit too easy tho, as it can take me a while to grasp the intricacies of well stocked plugins. This update looks well thought out, 96 db/oct was steep but the brickwall 90 degree option on the low and high pass, momma mia.
Like the comparison modes, reminds me of izotope neutron, which I've hardly used, really handy tho to visually sort out masking like that, tilt looks really useful too. With the dynamic section this could become my goto for eq duties on mac and ios (when I get a new ipad). Very tempted to get the mac version now, they have a 10% referral code that existing customers can send to newbies, brings the price down to around £120, which isn't to bad at all, for that much firepower.
FabFilter is the best when it comes to discounts. The more FF plugs you own, the cheaper subsequent purchases are.
I’m about to upgrade from Q2 -> Q3 for $70. That’s grand theft right there.
Just watched the Dan Worrall video and holy mama
Holy mama mostly for his voice. I wonder if they can do the other instances' spectrum view thingie on iOS
This!
I know of a few plug-ins which can „interact“ with eachother and wonder if iOS even allows this.
Are the memory limits on AUv3 gone now too.
I remember there was something mentioned for newer devices.
If I have to pay "full price" in the appstore version, I'm doing it. If I must pay "full price" in Auria, no second guesses, I'm doing it. Per-band M/S
and Dynamic EQing are worth $29.99 twice.
Someone should write a behind the scenes book and interview all these software dev's for the "whole story". I'm sure it would sell 100 copies.
I'll bet the IAP revenue sharing model between the DAW vendor and the plug-in seemed like the best approach initially but FabFilter has decided to "go direct". Now they have trained us to wait for Black Friday to get better prices. I decided to wait for the "direct versions" assuming I can get L2 for use in Cubasis, etc at some point for LUFS 14 mastering and stop investing in Auria Pro. Of course, an AUv3 L2 would also work in Auria Pro so...
Buy once when possible. They have now trained be to wait beyond BF and expect to pay for the quality they provide. Then more great plug-ins will follow suit.
Still, Grand Finale for $9 gets me by. Waiting...
Interesting, but I just upgraded to 2 in auria and doubt I’ll use all the functions in that.
Don’t think...only instabuy...especially if the iOS version has the ability to have interplugin communication ...oh mannnn bring it on
How do you expect them to fund those upgrades? I’ve never understood this point of view. Make something, charge money for it then what, continue to work on it, making it better over time for pennies? I don’t know what their upgrade strategy will be for iOS, but on the desktop I’d say they’re very generous with their offers.
ProQ3 is an investment, not a purchase, a purchase is a 12.00 menu item at a restaurant that only tastes so so and then becomes a load of dukey... and investment is something like proq3 that makes your workflow faster by providing you with top notch useful tools which in turn save you vast amounts of time... speeding up projects and giving the user precious time...that’s how I see it
Rim has always said he makes no money from the plugins, all the revenue goes to the plugin devs.
The Auria ports are (from what I understand) relatively easy, because they're conversions of the VST code. This is borne out by the fact that whenever new FF plugins have appeared, the Auria versions follow shortly after (Pro C2, Pro Q2, Pro L2 and Pro R all appeared within weeks of their desktop counterparts).
Porting the AUv3 is much more labour intensive and requires actual dev resources to be devoted to the project, which is why so far we have only seen Pro Q2 as an AUv3.
So I would say the economics have been pretty clear: the Auria versions are easy to convert and FF gets to keep all the revenue from them, but sales are limited only to Auria users. The AUv3 versions are much more costly to develop but have the potential to reach a larger market, not just Auria users.
In the end it will probably make sense to just release the AU versions (as long as the dev time is viable), but for me personally I still prefer using the native versions in Auria because it's by far the more stable and efficient environment (you can run dozens of live native plugins in Auria, which you can't do with AUv3 in other hosts).
Wow. Good information. I had no idea VST's could be dropped into Auria easily or that you could run many of them. Now I'm kicking myself for not picking up a couple to make a better Mastering environment which I might need before I die. Stop laughing @LinearLineman.
I'll have to wait again for the 50% sale because I have this $10 rule for most purchasing unless it's sale time and then anything that saves more than $10 needs to be picked up ASAP.
I loved your video showing how to use L2 to prep a track for the streaming services. Very helpful for anyone seeking tools to help them produce like a Pro:

Being able to run multiple stable plugins has always been one of Auria's great strengths. When I started doing music in iOS I was running an iPad 2, and even then you could probably run about 10-15 live plugins within Auria. With an iPad Air 2 you can run 25-30 live plugins on a project. On a Pro I would imagine you could run 40 or 50 easily (I've just bought a gen 2 Pro but it will be sitting under the Christmas tree for the next month).
AU is slowly improving, but it's still got some catching up to do compared to what has been available in Auria since 2012! (It will get there though).
Auria Pro gets a bad rap around here I think. It obviously has features that the other DAW's don't. It was the first DAW that went on sale after I got my iPad so I grabbed it and switch to Cubasis to collaborate with another Forum member.
What I love about it are:
It's just not a Loop focused tool.
On my original iPad Pro 12.9 there really is no reasonable limit to how many Pro-Q2s you can run, it really is amazing. I’m with others that this is one plug-in in Auria that is a true no-brainer at what they charge: I think it’s the best bread and butter EQ on the planet (mobile or desktop). Adding dynamic EQ and neuron-style frequency collision detection only make it better. Insta-buy when available.
I think that is the primary reason. I respect those who build music that way, and iOS has opened me up to trying it at times. At heart though, I'm a linear dude and love a good ol classic DAW, warts and all.
@McDtracy, not sure what I should be laughing about! I know you discouraged me from buying it because you didn't think I would benefit. And you are right! I am pretty much a Grand Finale guy. But you certainly would ( I think). Anyway, for sure there will be another sale and we can talk about it again!
That's nervous laughter because you have a "writer's block". Grand Finale my tuchus. 3 Synthonies in a month and then...
crickets. (I'm know what I'm laughing about). I hope your controller arrives today!
No one told me thatI can run more FabFilter plug-ins in Auria Pro
than any other DAW because they are NOT AUv3's and perform as they would on any Intel-based hardware. No Apple API tax.
This also indicates that FabFilter will have significant issues pushing out AUv3 products. The same issues any developer will have. It's really hard to get right and takes a dedicated programmer which you might not have on staff to do the work.
I'm developing a new purchasing standard that's not just AUv3 or I'm not buying. It's more about stability, performance and features. AUv3 is a feature.
But having said all this I'm wondering if a clever programmer could make an AUv3 that would load "one instance only per device" of an IAA capable App. And if Apple would allow the product to get to users. I suspect it would get blocked at App Store check-in. Not for suspicious reasons but likely to encourage all App's to update with AUv3 to make the platforms more stable overall. Anyway... is it technically feasible. It would take a really good programmer to ask this question. And a crazy one to implement it.
If the AUv3 "IAA Bridge" app existed more DAW vendors could drop IAA support as StageLight and NanoStudio 2 have in their 1st releases. StageLight says IAA is on their roadmap. NS2 seems to be holding the line at this point.
Not supporting IAA is the software equivalent of removing the headphone jack. What I call a vendor's RFA "Request For Anger".
@McDtracy, the end of a beautiful virtual friendship.... I wrote only two synthonies ( and I thought you were listening!) you are a truth mangler! And more vicious "writer's block" rumors! I never had writer's block! Oh yeah, maybe a little writer's block back in 2016, but that's done with... no writer's block since. Do you hear me? NO WRITER'S BLOCK! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER! And even if I do have writer's block, so what? It's not illegal to have writer's block and say you are writing. Even if I do have it i didn't do anything wrong! Ok, I have it, but my fans love me (except you, McD, and I will remember your tuchas!) They don't care about your lies, even if it is true, which I admit it is, but it isn't a crime!
I just wanted to say tuchas. Tuchas
Sorry. You can obviously write.
But can you compose? Beethoven got to his 9th. Clock's ticking.
Only 2 synthonies? I think the (re)versioning made it feel like 3.
Looking at your SoundCloud I think I was counting Synesthesia as #3. You must consider the naming to be crucial...
I'm eager to hear where your fertile musical imagination takes you once you get past this writing block delay in releasing new work. Getting the new keyboard will help.
