    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:
    http://productionadvice.co.uk/how-loud/

    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...

    https://www.samplemagic.com/journal/2013/05/introducing-the-magic-ab-plugin/

    This looks good too!

    https://www.masteringthemix.com/products/reference

    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.

    Completely agree! The sampling use case would definitely be valid too

    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 ;)

    It's hardware? Which part of the experience is appealing?

    “ region selection, looping and pitch shifting functions”

    This is done right is sorely missing as an AU. Make the preview quick/minimal steps (esp with external drives on ipados), region selection fast as well as extraction and that’s a winner of an app. 👌

    I was thinking in pad os... it would be great to have all the samples on a micro as card in my hub and then i could just get something similar like launchpad app with my own samples AND AUv3 inside AUM for jamming. Samples loading with drag and drop? Or something like this :) would be cool wouldn’t it?

    I need to see someone making music this way to get an understanding of what they need. It sounds technically feasible but if we misunderstand the requirements it could fall short of what users really need.

  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]

    Yeah, me too many times wished there’s a launchpad type of AU sample/loop player.
    All I would want from it to be able to play multiple loops in sync with synced play/stop
    For additional points it could:

    • sample, record perfect loops
    • allow user to set start/end points with auto crossfade at loop points
    • stream from disc
    • once supported by host have multiple outs
    • maybe few fx aimed at live use (filter, bitcrush, delay)
    • re-pitch, time stretch

    Something to mimic ableton live scene view.

    oh yeah, many on the AB forums have been asking for this!

    So we put our hope in blue mangoo to bring the app of sample extravaganza! I would love to see this ;)

    Ha. I should have tried myself because I usually do when there is a new ipadOS beta, but I kind of got bored of checking, given that it’s so long and I had sort of got used to it not working. I’ve asked if anyone has got TubeAU working in ipadOS yet, although I did check to and, alas, no go yet.

  • OrlandoOrlando

    Hi
    Tube Au doesn’t work anymore on my devices (iPhone 6s plus and iPad Pro 12.9 2018, Both with iOS 12.3.1)
    In aum (but also in audiobus), with just One Channel with tube au, i search a video, press play, but then tube au crashes, becco se red and asks for a reload. Only few videos are loaded.

    The app started having trouble yesterday. Apparently YouTube changed their setup again. We will look into it when we are back to the office on Monday.

    @bounce @hisdudeness

    We have submitted an update to fix these errors. Hopefully it will be out within 48 hours.

  • bouncebounce

    @Blue_Mangoo Works. It’s a great one, thanks for keeping it updated.

    I try it yesterday and i have some delayed sound from videos. Like... 2 sec or something?
    Still working?

    No probs. Thanks for the reminder - I updated a few days ago to the latest beta, so it was worth checking.

    Is it just me? But I havent used the app since they fixed the bug in the first version that the video didn’t start. Now I’m having the same issue. Just a black YT video and sometimes the transport bar shows up but nothing happens when pushing play on it.

  • MunibeastMunibeast

    And is it just me or did BT also stop working? Tried several clips on phone and pad, no luck

    The lead dev on this project said Apple was still making changes to the way iPad OS plays videos in the late betas of iOS / iPad OS 13, so we have held off on finalizing support for it until the final release. Now that there is an official release we will update to address supporting it.

    At last it works in iPadOS :-) . This is a brilliant app, and today you will mostly find me using it.
