    Heya, so cool to hear that!!!
    I just had a little enlightment while playing with cubasis on ipad. It showed me informations about my selected input on my cute (old version) Apogee One. I can only select this input on my Macbook, but now as I see that Cubasis can 'see' that I bet it would be easY to change it (like its possible on Macbook), should be an apple driver thing... and you are the master of audiohacking on IOS... Would it be easy to get access to the input settings?

    Yeah, Loopy Pro lets you select channels, assign channels to groups, etc

    Still unclear how robust it'll be in the real world, of course, and I'm sure it won't work for every single use case, but it's fun in the confines of my office.

    Have you tested it out on The Patagonians?

  • lukesleepwalkerlukesleepwalker

    @Michael When you say “approx tempo” can you estimate the tolerance?

    You won't find out before a larger group of musicians get their hands on it 😉

    I’ve got it set to plus or minus 20bpm right now, I think

    Wow, that’s more than i was expecting. Looking forward to trying this!

    I'm really looking forward to the wider beta test of this!

    Wide, narrow, oblong, möbius... any user testing means this app might beat the vaccines to
    nerd immunity.

    Nerds have attention deficit at very high rates... nerds need new apps.

    Number 1 Loop user? A nerd.

    Restless nerds have consequences on the order of things. Help.
    Lone restless nerds have broken the internet, walked between the twin towers, and swammed the english channel using some dreadful english.
    The one that swammed it was the nerd. See the Go Pro video on Vimeo. It's a little blurry with obvious hints someone might be drowning for about 30 hours... very low rex due to SD card contraints and really series of photo rather than a film. But still... nerd high art.

    ButbI think it's not just about channels. Apogee one has one channel, but you can select between: internal mic, xlr in, xlr 48v, and instrument in... On a Macbook I can select those without installing a driver. for the first version of apogee there is no driver, you can do it with standard-Settings.

    Quick question for you guys: "Capture Recording", "Retrospective Recording", or "Look-Ahead Recording". What name do you prefer? That's the mode where Loopy's always recording, and triggering a record will capture the last n bars.

    Retroactive looping (?)

    Ah I see! Hmm I dunno. I think I’d need to actually get my hands on one to try it out

    With your device plugged in, are the different input channels visible as input sources in Audiobus 3 or AUM?

    Sounds like those sources aren't published by the class compliant driver. :( so, probably nothing Michael could do to offer a choice.

    How much you got? I'm expecting a $10 intro price and uplift to $15-20 unless Jimmy Fallon
    makes lightening strike twice and we all get it for even less. But a developer will never talk price until it's time to do the spreadsheet on sunk costs and the estimation of payback time/break even point. In tech some people specialize in pricing strategies. @Michael has been pretty candid on what it takes to make an IOS app pay:

    You know he's Mike Tyson, right? Champ. Not an ear biter but still... the IOS Champ.

    The IOS Champ. IOS would not be what it is, I believe, without AudioBus to create the
    interoperability we all take for granted. We might have got here from the success of VST's
    in DAW's but the path we took allowed us to get a lot of cool inexpensive apps that showed developers they could compete with the big players by cranking out solid apps that delivered
    some unique features.

    O.k., so now I'm talking to the ios champ...;-)
    I had some interestingbfindings while trying to do live-effects on two mono audio chanels on IPhone (!!!). It worked on Ipad, but when I use 2 seperate mono audio chanels (one for pickup one for microphone) the sound gets out of sync after some minutes. I first eyperienced in Cubasis, then tried audiobus, butbit's the same... I tried solving getting stereo in into audiobus and then I wanted to select single mono L & R as seperate Chanels in Cubasis, but this in not possible? At least an effect would be great where I can just set L&R input to either L or R as Mono output... Or the 'bug' in iphones (triedb7 & 8) has to be adressed, to solve this.

    Am I on the right track?

    You have reached the message service for "IOS Champ".

    We appreciate your interest in IOS music making and love to solve problems whenever they do not require ownership but simple commentary. Sometimes someone will duplicate your efforts and report back but sometimes not.

    @Michael has pitch shift effect really playable low latency?

    Pitch shift is pretty much impossible to do in very low latency, because it needs to be done in large-ish blocks because of the frequency transform. Right now I measured the playthrough at about 60-90ms depending on the magnitude of the pitch shift, that's at 128 frames on my iPad Air 2, which gives about 10ms of playthough latency with no effects.

    That's just my first cut, though, I might be able to do better in certain cases.

    Edit: Just did a little looking around, turns out I'm not 100% correct, there is the possibility of doing it in the time domain at low latency. Doesn't really sound as good, vs the system I'm using (guitar only)

    Yes there are much lower latency AU pitch shift really playable like VoiceRack FX from TC Helicon, but it’s abandoned and has some bugs.

    Oh yeah? Did it sound any good? What kind of latency we talking about?

    I'm definitely interested in improving things if it's possible, but I don't wanna go too far down the rabbit hole without knowing there'll be something worthy at the end =)

    Yes, the tc helicon app is ace. In fact that might be the very reason it’s been abandoned. As @Janosax says: it is buggy, who knows, I’m generally not into conspiracy theories but maybe they’ve cut the red wire instead of the green one to cripple it a bit. Although IOS itself is quite good at breaking things as it is. ;)

    That is good news. So, it would work on the Mac then?

    Currently Loopy when you open it it gives a crash report on the Mac. I sent the report over to Loopy developers advising that I don’t understand why a program not verified as being compatible with a Mac is not working. The audio engine also doesn’t connect. When is Apple putting IAA on the M1? I’m not serious about that last part.
