The saddest part is that I’d still finish precisely as many tracks as I do with the apps I already own.

I don’t know about the rest of the forum, but for me ignorance of such information is bliss! 🤓

For me that big fat cinematic sound is Continua’s signature sound though you can coax other sounds out of it too.

Yeah, cinematic is definitely the word I would use to describe it as well. Very impressive!

i’ve been thinking about egoist for ever but never can seem to find much positive feedback on it especially at the normal price...
egoist users? are you out there? does it do good things? drum computer is kinda all i need for drums these days but it still looks like it can make cool drum sound... i mostly like more found sounds/ foley than acoustic or electronic but they all have a place in my mix..
can you make good arps/melodies that would fit the more chilled out downtempo vibe with egoist?

please help lolol i can’t buy another app i dont use 😎

Egoist got a lot of love around here. We had a thread on here years ago professing our love. If I’m not mistaken even featured videos by @AudioGus displaying some cool ways to use it. Very underrated. I’ve made complete tracks with just Egoist but have t used it in awhile.

Aww yah, Egoist is a sweety! Always in my lineup.

Egoist would be my choice if I had to choose one app for the desert island. It's unique and deep and you could amuse yourself for days feeding found sounds into it and then messing with the effects randomizer. Bass and drums can be coaxed into things with patience.

I dig egoist. The way i use it is basically just clicking buttons. A lot of clicking random, listening, tweaking, clicking random on another set of attributes, tweaking, etc. you can get some cool sounds and it’s entertaining for about an hour at a time. It’s different than drum machines - different then anything I can really think of. It basically chops, gates and twists samples ina rhythmic way. I dig it

thanks guys! i just went back into those older threads, i must have missed em , seems like no one hates it and that people have been getting good results! i’m pretty much only looking at the chopper/sample player part as what i’ve heard of the bass synth seems like i have better synths for bass... but who knows! i’m sure it is still very useful and fun. there’s very little egoist content on youtube that i could find where people where making the kinda stuff i do, chilled out arps and such’s but i’m thinking that chopper can cover a wide range of ideas... imma go in friday if it’s still on sale!

It is surprising there isn’t more Egoist content but Im sure you won’t regret it. You can use it as a sampler/chopper so depending on the source you can certainly get all sort of wild arps going.

Also, I wouldn’t sleep on the bass or drum synths. There is a lot more than meets the eye. It’s like Gadget for me, everytime I open it I’m reminded how dumb I am for not using it more. You can see Drum Computer, Effectrix and Looperator DNA inside Egoist and it’s equally effective as a production and live tool with many midi options.

I was an Egoist fan too until Korg introduced Stockholm in Gadget. That replaced it for me, never looked back. It's based on rex/rx2 loops though, you either use it with all the free or commercial rex loops available for download or slice your own using propellerhead ReCycle. Certainly not everyone's business but absolutely stunning for what I do. It's like having Spectrasonics Stylus RMX on the iPad.

Have fun @reasOne and do try to be careful with these sales 😩. I’m trying to reign myself in. Drum Computer was the purchase that opened the floodgates last month now this!🤦🏽‍♂️

I really wanted to dig into Stockholm. I loved working with Rex in Reason but without a way to simply convert all of my wavs to Rex on iOS I passed. I bet it’s great though. I still get busy with Abu Dhabi but it’s no Stockholm or Egoist. The randomizer and transient detection on egoist is still impressive today. Dead simple to mangle loops or chop up sounds ripped from YouTube to make new instruments.

@Poppadocrock I mentioned in another thread earlier today that Target is offering a $20 Target gift card with a $100 iTunes digital purchase. I bought one earlier for myself! They said it would be emailed within 4 hours and it hasn't shown after 8. Waiting is kind of like...torture... 😂

What does everybody think about the TB compressor? Is that a "throw it on the master bus and be done" kind of thing? I'm kind of in the market for that, and I wonder if the FabFilter is more engine than I'd need.

It has various bus presets (master included). Would say it’s more of a functional/surgical app rather than adding lots of colour so could be good for master. I know lot’s of people rave about Barricade on the master also (don’t have this..yet)

Is Audiolayer still a must have?

It’s the cheapest it’s ever been at $11.99

I have many sampling apps, but none are quite what Audiolayer is... couple quick questions...

1. is it working fine on 14.2?

2. I’m concerned about the size of the app once I start loading in several patches (exs24, SFZ, VSCO Library, etc.) Does the size of the app get really big, really quickly, Once you download a few presets? I guess I’m asking what’s the approximate size of these presets that you download or import into AL? I’m sure there’s a wide range, but I’m trying to get an idea of how big the apps storage might get once, I add some patches? It’s just under 300mb as is. Does it get bloated easily?

It will grow by the size of the sample libraries you add...true of any sampler.

Yea that’s what I thought. But I was just trying to wrap my head around what it will end up being but it all depends on what you load into it, so yea...

I downloaded all the preset content and added a 600MB drum kit and it’s at 5GB. But it copies the content in a “system” folder so you can’t really tell what’s what.
My biggest question is if the imported content is taking up twice the space, that is, the original sample directory + the imported one. I’ll look into this, but this is probably not the right thread.
I have to say AudioLayer is better than I expected. It looked uglier and more complicated in the screenshots. Drambo’s sampler is way too tiny, the layer ui is ridiculously small. This one’s good, and the editing is great. At this price, Get it.

Once you have imported the samples, you can delete the copies left behind in the AudioLayer folder visible in Files. The samples it needs get moved to a directory that isn’t exposed to Files.

Although it's very powerful and offers a FabFilter synth built in I don't feel as though it offers much that I don't have covered in other areas and as a result I literally never use it. It's one of those apps I'd happily trade away if the Apple ecosystem ever allowed it.

I know it’s not sexy, but this app is wonderful. It’s simple, fun and a very intelligent approach to a different way of seeing melodies and time. I would actually love an AUV3 midi version of this.
I believe Dot Melody was “eaten” by Patterning, I love it. It’s also got midi out and stuff so it’s not just a toy.

PeteSasqwax

Dot Melody is one of my go to iPhone apps. It's brilliant.

Yes, I know that. But my kit (samples) is also (originally) in a “samples” folder in my iPad drive, if/for I want to use them somewhere else. Even if I delete the “import” content, its in my samples folder and in the AudioLayer storage. In iOS I never know when content is actually duplicated and taking space, or it’s just a pointer to the same sample.

The project manager and the UI makes me run away from Auria... the midi editor helps running even faster BUT the routings possibilities and Timeless + Volcano easily make me come back and use Auria because it's (imho) the more "desktopish" style DAW on iOS.

I've seen auria on a friend's iPad. Seemed a bit clunky, other then FF synths I'm not sure it'll offer you anything more than the other iOS daws

PeteSasqwax

Lyra allows you to open EXS24 instruments if you're a Logic fan. That's quite impressive but not an issue if you have another app to do that (AudioLayer for example)

This is exactly my view. If you're coming from a desktop DAW, you'll find yourself home! I really like it, it's my go-to solution when I need mostly audio editing.
