  • Between this and Atom 2, looks like AUM will finally be a fully functional DAW replacement! I'm excited!

  • I thought so too, but now am planning to jump ship to Loopy Pro as the host at this point. What use cases are keeping people with AUM (besides general inertia)?

  • Well at the very least AUM has ability to connect with inter app audio apps. There are still a few of those that I use (samplr, for example). But will just have to actually try using Loopy Pro before I know whether I'll be using it more as auv3 or host! Like the videos of loopy pro seem to be everything im looking for, but its always different when you are actually using the thing.

    I just got a Nektar Pacer midi foot controller and its waiting on LoopyPro!!!!

    @Michael and being a parent does through off every and all timelines. Mine are 9 and 11 and I still dont have the hang of it all the time.

    Since you have the feature to split audio by transient into drum pads of some kind - how about a way to automatically quantize these elements in the original loop without having to re-perform it? Would be welcome until MIDI looping.

    Great idea. I've added it to the todo list 😁

    Sorry, everyone, slight delay here – I've lost a few days' work due to brain fog; we've all gotten sick (not COVID, though, happily!) and my brain ain't workin'. Once I remember how to code I'll get this beta out!

    Hang in there and wait till your fit. The wait will be worth it.

    Take care man. Sleep is the greatest brain healer. Also look into intermittent fasting.

    Continuous stress could be one of the reasons. Also the state of your gut micro biome. It’s all interconnected.

    Have you tried switching it off and on again? 🤔

    Prompted by this I’ve requested an antigen test which will tell me whether I’ve had COVID or not. I work in social care in the uk so I should fit the bill for a free testing.

    However.

    Because these tests are not 100% there is a chance you may have had a mild or asymptomatic form of COVID and you’re now suffering the consequences.

    I don’t actually know if there is another test that can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that someone had or didn’t have it.

    Edit: sorry I don’t want this to turn into yet another COVID conspiracy thread. 😮

  • Possible! But given the still low number of cases here, unlikely, I’d say.

  • Stupid question probably, but will Loopy Pro be able to set the tempo of its host as an Auv3?

    No AU can do that, AU will always rely on the host for tempo.

    I don't think that's right. I've done looping with L7 and got it to set AUM tempo. I don't use L7 that much but I'm 99.75% sure I've done that!

  • with Loopy Pro and 1-2 oh those new Nembrini Amps I will have a complete and flexible guitar rig on the Ipad... I cannot believe it yet lol

    I can never see AUV3 apps listed as clock sources. Maybe you were running an IAA version of L7 without realising it?

    Especially because AUM cannot be slaved by design.

    I think it can be done if both the L7 instance and AUM have Ableton Link enabled

  • There must have been some workaround involving third party apps (like midi clock to Link).

    Link has no master, whichever app you change tempo of other connected apps will follow.

    Yes, that's what I mean. L7 AUv3 has Link, so if you change the tempo in it, it should change the tempo of AUM if it has Link enabled as well. I'm not saying that this is good design though, L7 always felt half-baked at best and it was a constant crashfest for me.

    Yep, independently of what it’s called if you change link tempo on one app and AUM follows it is effectively slaved :).

    I agree re L7. I’ve tried it and asked for a refund an hour later. Not a great candidate for an audiokit poster boy.

    I’m not sure which is worse, seeing another “TestFlight” email and it not being for Loopy Pro, or waking up to 10 new posts in this thread and none of them being the announcement for the beta 😂😭

    Michael, don’t worry about us. Get healthy, keep the kids happy, then worry about our need to test this Loopy Pro beast. I have 6 devices from 2012 to 2021 with iOS 12 to 14.7 and cannot wait to have a play.

    you acutally get emails?

  • No not for Loopy Pro yet …

    but yes when you are on an active beta, TestFlight sends an email for new beta versions.

    Nope. This actually works, to my surprise.
    Load L7 into AUM, enable Link, change tempo. AUM changes tempo. I highly suspect it could introduce timing problems if it has two timing sources (host and Link). But it works.

    Interesting find, @SimonSomeone.

    This might be something @Michael would be interested in looking into. If it could be guaranteed not to have conflicting tempo sources it could be terrifically useful.

  • edited September 2021

    @0tolerance4silence, @wim

    Yeh I was just checking I wasn't mistaken so I tried it again and made a little video. When I finish recording, you can see the AUM tempo change. I was using this to specifically set a tempo for a song on the fly for live performance. I mainly used GTL for this but t was useful to have something else I could effect by itself for a rhythm track, and L7 worked, though I could never reliably get it's auto threshold not to glitch, as seen here.

    I was actually thinking this would definitely be there in the new Loopy, so I hope it is!

    Hmm... happy to be proven wrong. I don’t own L7, and it seems very dodgy from any perspective. Is that the AU that can run a single instance only?
    Checked apps that have Link and can run as AU. Most of them disable Link when used as AU and rely on host. Only exception I found (apart from L7) is miRack / Link module, but that can’t be used to set tempo of the host either.
    I will be very surprised if such feature is officially supported, but then again... if it works..?

    yep, single instance only.

    Wow. So it has link enabled and is single instance only?

    It doesn’t sound like AUV3, more like IAA in AU clothing!!

    Ah ok. Well, hope the fog dissipates soon. All the best.
