Yes, crackles and pops is what I'm getting, too. No Biggie, it'll be here soon enough. I'm using it with my phone at the moment, but it's frustrating on such a small screen after using my iPad pro 12.9". But I can sit for hours grabbing little samples from YouTube - so much fun, and nice not having to do it while stuck on a computer, etc.
I have IOS 13, but AU Tube doesn't work as yet. It only gives out crackles for the audio. I'm eagerly awaiting the working version of this one.
Just checking in: still working properly for those Pre-ios13?
Yep . Used it tonight. Worked as expected.
Thanks @Ben I appreciate it.
A user reporting that he can not play any videos in Tube AU hosted by AUM on iOS 12.3.1 with an iPad pro 12.9 inch. There is a known problem where videos that are too long to load in memory can not play, but this situation applies to short videos, affects apparently all of them, and has only been reported by one user. I'm wondering if anyone else is having the same problem, hoping that we can replicate it and figure out what causes it.
Working fine for me 12.3.1 on iPad Pro 10.5 @Blue_Mangoo
I'm on a 12.9" iOS 12.4 and on first uses within AUM had a couple different glitches like over-4 minute videos stopping with an error prompt and echo-y audio but things seemed to stabilize with a couple hard device reboots.
I've gotten in the habit of tapping Pause in Aum before attempting to record too much length but have had no errors other than occasionally the scroll bar under a YT video disappears (fixed by exiting the video then adding it again).
Amazing app btw and I hope it's around for a long time.
me too!
I guess your Tube AU is not the latest version. Latest version fixed that scrollbar disappears and they added back button
Ok that customer’s issue was resolved by deleting and reinstalling the plugin. Apparently it wasn’t updating to the newest version for some reason.
Yes yes: currently working super smooth.
No problem hosting in AUM here. Didn’t have to delete and reinstall.
Hey man, have you tried on the Latest beta update?
We are testing it now. We found an easy way to make it work but the cause of the bug seems weird so we want to spend some more time to research it before releasing the fix, in order to ensure that it’s a long-lasting solution and not just a dirty hack.
Ok thanks for the intel
Is this an au instrument or fx? I’ve been looking for an aufx that can play a simple wav that I can add to the end of a master chain for reference tracks. If this is an aufx then it sort of answers the problem.
If not @Blue_Mangoo would you be interested in making an app like this? Something like perception on desktop would be really popular on iOS I reckon (https://www.meterplugs.com/perception)
Tube AU loads in the instrument slot.
About Perception: very interesting. I haven’t heard of anything similar on iOS yet and it looks like it wouldn’t be too challenging to build. I don’t have much experience with loudness standards though. If there is a document that explains what the relevant standard metrics are and gives at least some vague indications of how to calculate them, I am open to considering it.
Reading about perception more, I don’t think it loads a wav like I thought! Seems it’s just for AB testing your own mix before or after an fx chain, with auto gain matching. Does look good though - it was created by Ian Shepherd, a mastering engineer. See his post on loudness here:

As far as I’m concerned, an aufx app that can load a reference wav from the file browser and play it would do the job. Something that could AB easily with this would be better though, like this...

This looks good too!

Great to hear - I’ve been eagerly awaiting this! Cheers.
I’d still be interested in seeing the TubeAU functionality with non-YT links.
WebAU?
Thank you for these suggestions. We are interested in making a file player plugin but we still haven’t got a clear idea of what it’s feature set should be.
Seems like the sort of thing that should factor in ‘post iPad OS’.
Yes. Hard drive support will significantly change the situation. Knowing where that will take us will inform the design requirements.
It’s tricky to say as I’ve never actually used any of these apps on desktop. I just know it’s a pain having to come out of the daw to play a reference track - it makes A/B testing basically impossible.
As I say, for me just an au effect that can load a wav and play it with a gain control would be a great starting point. This would go as the last effect on the master channel in a daw so its not effected by the mastering chain.
An A/B button that toggles between the reference wav and the master channel would make it even more useful.
Everything else these plugins have looks good but not crucial.
For this use case, it seems that any file player would work. That makes the design easier. The question now is, what other use cases should it support? Earlier in this thread people are talking about a file player that has region selection, looping and pitch shifting functions, so that they can use it for cutting samples from audio files. It seems logical to design a plugin that supports both the sampling use case and the A/B reference file comparison use case in a single app, unless the requirements are to divergent.
I was talking about speed change by cents. If pitch-shifting/time-stretching (with smoothing/interpolation etc) could happen that would be bonus if it were a toggle-able option. Simple linear interpolation (speed change) is important for a lot of people but woefully absent in a lot of iOS apps that just only do the smeary stretchy pitch-shifting.
I would love to have one day some sort of 1010music Blackbox as an AU Plugin for jamming in AUM. Maybe this is an inspirational thought
That is good to know. The smeary kind of pitch shifting is reasonably complex even if you just want to do it in a relatively low quality way. I haven’t tried to do a high quality implementation but I can imagine that it would be a major investment of development time.
That looks nice. Thanks for the idea.
That would be great! Would be a best-seller, without any doubt.
