uh
Like all AD apps insta buy.
Still don't even know what it does.....LOL
It says the gate can have long envelopes, could someone who has already got it please clarify:
Can the gate use a slow envelope to open, or are they just for gradually closing the gate?
If the opening can be set to an envelope it could be a good tool for creating swells.
Don't have it yet but the Gate does have Attack and Release
That is what the attack and release knobs on the gate do. Set a slow attack and the audio 'fades in' adjust release and threshold to taste and you get a controlled fade in/out/in/out/in/out...
@samu I’m no expert when it comes to compression, gates, eq etc but I am planning a live stream tonight featuring Channel Strip, so far I have 8 Channel Strips, 2 iSEMs, 1 Sunrizer, 1 Zeeon, 5 Atoms, 1 Ruismaker, 1 XOX and 1 bs-16i, all running at the same time at about 40% dsp on my iPad 2018 9.7 so I shall probably try and add some more stuff as we go.
All been well I should be live around 20.00 UK Time
@Jocphone and @Samu thanks for the confirmation, I'm off to the store.
I'm by no means a compression expert either and 'go by ear'
The good thing with the AD Channel Strip is the visible feedback overlaid on the signal making it easy to set the levels.
One of the apps I have fallen for like really hard is FAC Bandit...
Well, seeing as it’s the one and only auv3 iOS channel strip, ( which pretty much makes it the best auv3 iOS channel strip ) I’m onboard ,lol. I’m not mad at the price for what it does either. Sure I’d pay 30$ if waves ported their ssl channel strip to iOS as an au or someone else did one that was on the same level or better, but until then this’ll work for some quick ruff mixes.
@Samu indeed Bandit - I hope he releases a version with a compressor built in. Channel strip.
Reality check, though. It's been confirmed here from several people that the iOS model, and music app pricing model, encourages small, independent developers to release new apps rather than spending time fixing bugs and/or adding features. A small business needs to walk the line between making enough money with new products/features to survive on and fixing or enhancing old ones in order to hope that people who were or are customers continue to buy new things. Especially if the people are working FT at the company and don't have other income (ie the development isn't an after-hours hobby). Finally, work often is cyclical, and a small company can enter into a period of time when the focus is on new things more than bugs and features.
I don't know what's going on at AD, but the above is what I know from what I've read and just my own experience working at small companies with revenue struggles and a passionate fan/customer base. I myself also find buggy software frustrating, so I totally get where you're coming from. Maybe this is just how it is with AD, or maybe it just requires more patience. Only you as the customer can decide if or when to move on.
Now that I've seen this plugin in action (thanks to Doug's livestream just now) I'm definitely warming to the idea of a quick all-in-one sculpting channel strip. If you only need light EQ and comp this seems to be a better fit than loading separate Pro-Q and Woodpressor plugins on each track (these are my current go-tos)
I wonder if I may have judged it a bit too harshly on first sight.
Note that all the dials display numerical readings when you turn them — something I was concerned about before seeing it in action.
I do wish they had included a simple Q dial for the mid-range EQ curve however
P.s. it was looking fairly stable and low-cpu when Doug was running 9 instances earlier
thats why I can never stop using Auria Pro
@tk32 dude get it It is well worth it for the price You also can push the volume and it saturates without affecting the signal. Yes to it needing a Q but it really is worth it.
Purchased
@tk32 cool it sounds excellent in bm3 on drums Push the volume to saturate
@tk32 sorry, we can only accept your first answer.
Fair play
I tell my lovely missus the same thing each time she wonders why she married me
Needs more 'gain'. Apple's AUDynamicsProcessor has +/- 50dB of gain adjustment at every stage
(Meaning no need to 'normalise' or add pre-gain to the recording before processing either compression or expansion).
A 'vertical' UI layout would be super handy on the iPhone
And well, why on earth keep the UI elements so 'small' it nearly unusable on an iPhone 8.
(Tapping on the disk icon takes like 5-6 taps before I manage to pinpoint the hit area).
Oh well, since I mainly use my iPad it's not a big deal but the more I think about it, screw universal apps in thoese cases where the UIs are too small to be 'unusable'.
And well, add a 'brighter' colour theme, I don't understand the desire to keep everything in the dark...
I've added a new 'criteria' to my future app purchases, visibility and usability...
(This one barely makes it).
I do appreciate it when developers make the effort to make universal apps work on iPhone ‘peoperly’ But given the market constraints can understand why the iPad interface just gets shrunk.
But I’m getting older and my eyesight isn’t what it was so some of the apps are indeed pretty much unusable for me on iPhone.
I am definitely aware of when a developer has optimised the iPhone Ui of a universal app (and not just the same ui on iPhone and iPad) and take that into consideration when purchasing. It makes an app ‘feel’ more expensive when the Ui is finely crafted on all screen sizes so I’m definitely prepared to pay more for an app that feels premium.
And a universal app that is well designed is far, far more likely to get my cash than separate apps for iPhone and iPad.
wasn’t sure if i needed this app at first. But i’ve been a big fan of audiodamage for a long time. so i thought i’d give it a shot. this thing is perfect. it’s such a quick little way to sculpt your sound for each track very quickly. it’s perfect for plus it sounds great. nice work. i’m gonna be usingthis one quite a bit.
What's the consensus on this a few months later?
It's quite meh. Perhaps the only AD app that I regret having purchased.
Not a huge fan of it. I use the noise gate sometimes but it’s kind of crappy
Definitely not the best EQ or compressor , but it’s the best au channel strip for IPad OS, if only because it’s the only au channel strip. I used it more when it first came out, not so much now but it’s not bad for a quick mix or reference mix. It’s not a big drain on the cpu on my Air 2, and pretty much does what it says it does. I wouldn’t use it for anything surgical but if I just want to put together a quick console in AUM and not use a separate plugin for eq and compression and gate for every channel, it’s a decent plugin to have in my toolbox. No buyers remorse here.
Hi,
I’m sure this question is obvious, please bear with me.
I can’t seem to figure out the ui in the compressor. I have the same issue with RoughRider.
I see the waveform, the line indicating the threshold... that’s all clear and very helpful. What I can’t see clearly is the meaning of the bottom part, where it indicates the compressor working.
Is that the amount of reduction?. That would be an obvious reading, but if you look at the second screenshot, it gets higher than the actual waveform under extreme compression...
I like visual representation in compressors, it helps me see what’s going on.
Cheers!
This one turned up for £1 in the recent BF sales so obviously I got it.
I quite like bargains.
Tried it out on the individual multi outs of dRm computer
in AUM and I must say that it's quite charming.
Even on my 9.7" iPad Pro 1st gen running drm computer and 8 instances
of channel strip with Thafknar delivering reverb and Korvpressor on the main bus
in AUM the DSP was showing 49% on average or thereabouts.
This is with the iPad connected to the internet whilst I type this.
The graphics of dRM computer does slow everything down.
I get better performance from dRambo using a similar setup.
Still, even at £4.99 I would've been pleasantly happy with it but at the price I got it at?
Yup, very pleased.
So after testing it on drum sounds, I've yet to try it on more complex sounds
such as an entire mix or sub mix, I ran a search for the eq it's based upon.
It turns out it's based upon a Neumann PEV eq.
Further searches showed that the various
Neumann PEV designs can fetch up to 3800 euros.
The lowest I saw was around $1300.
Bear in mind this is for a single channel.
Does it sound like an actual Neumann PEV??
I have no idea but the thought behind the design of it is quite interesting I find.
Here's an affordable light on the cpu auv3 channel strip,
that at the very least, attempts to model the sound
of a rare passive eq that is quite a collectors piece.
Ambitious?
Yup.
Cool.
I think so.
Well done Audio Damage and thank you for a really fun eq....
By the way, the gate and compressor?
Are more than useable.
