Hainbach is basically just an ambient musician as far as I know. I kinda feel he is overrated but I mean no disrespect and for weird music he is ok. ITs a smidgeon boring to me but im not an expert on his music. Super tape analog and lo fi. ITs ok for mellow times.

+!

I did like his video with the dude who makes his own tape machines and then makes tunes with them and adds sounds from his personally recorded foley library. That was really interesting.

I find that most Youtubers' content is 95% fluff. Feeling pressured to churn out content on a daily or bi-daily basis has the inevitable effect of watering down that content.

Whenever I see the Subscriber count of a channel I always wonder how many of those people still watch and out of those, how many watch on a regular basis?

I wonder what is the point of a post(s) like this. To shit on an app developer on their unveiling? To bring someone down to earth? To be sure that we are all humble?

I always think that the way someone interprets your actions is a window into their mind, their motivations, their actions.

But if you are asking me what my thoughts, actions and motivations are for this post then they were that I don't like most of the content that Hainbach puts out, because of the way he approaches it. If, of course, that's ok with you?

Yours, on tenterhooks xx

Oh yes, @Ashh please do interpret my meaning, the window of my mind. I believe it would be fascinating. Thanks for revealing your window to us - it was so enlightening.

Would you guys please close your windows, you’ll wake up the whole neighbourhood...

Yeah I think it's not true when people are saying Gauss is better than Enso, they are just different and both are really good tools. I find Enso is very useful in all sorts of ways not just as a Looper.
I think Gauss is more immediately fun and playable though and can see why some people will prefer it.

Do you mean more for slowing down / speeding up / reversing etc, or what other things apart from looping do you use it for？

Hmmm... I've now wasted half a day trying to troubleshoot why I can't use Gauss to record input in standalone mode as a field recorder. I'm giving up for now, but with all the different methods I've tried... I'm certain it's not user error on my part. It's the same issue on two devices.

Frankly, I'm surprised no one else seems to be having this issue. Are you ALL using it hosted only? I wanted to use it as an interesting iPhone field recorder in standalone mode to use the whole screen you get in standalone mode versus the cropped/crowded full AU screen when hosted.

I kept on troubleshooting it because with how popular this app appears to be, it seems like someone would be noticing this issue as well. So I figured I must be doing something wrong.

Is there anyone here using Gauss in standalone mode with headphones and running iOS14.2 and getting any input at all?

Strangely, I've just noticed this same behavior with RE-1 too. And I know for a fact RE-1 used to work fine in standalone most with wired AND wireless headphones. Now, no input with headphones connected, either wireless OR wired.

I would speculate that if it were iOS14.2 related... I wouldn't get input from any field recorder app, but both Fieldscaper and iDensity are working fine with both wired AND wireless headphones connected.

Yep it works standalone Ipad Air records on cheap £4.00 headphone/mic. Tried with monitor bu get a nasty hum, but unmonitored reasonable results from the cheapest gear.

Yes. Same here. Issue resolved. Appears to have been a corrupt install. Though, I’m still baffled why I had the same issue with iPad too. Both device issues were resolved with a hard reset, delete & reinstall.

Really loving this app!

I noticed @Hainbach used only the internal mic in his demo. What is the feeling about using only the internal mic vs connecting a higher end mic to record from? Will Gauss even use an external mic in standalone mode? I know it uses the internal mic and not the mic included with wireless headphones... but if you connect a mic directly via lightning port or headphone jack, will Gauss use it in standalone mode?

And, what’s the consensus of the iOS device internal mics? My impression is that they’re actually pretty decent, but I’m curious about what could be gained (other than pickup pattern) from using one of the 3rd party mics designed for iOS devices.

Things like sample triggering and sample sequencing with sectors, stem recording etc and general file player stuff

The internal mics are surprisingly good for some use cases. I've gotten some very convincing results from the onboard hardware and DSP. The biggest advantage, of course, is that it's a mic you always have with you.

I just tried running my iRig HD2 -> Gauss and that didn't work in standalone - Gauss in standalone seem to use the internal mic even if an external interface is connected. No big deal, just used it in AUM instead - but a bit surprising.

I've got an iRig too but hadn't tried yet. That's what I figured. I made a request to @brambos that maybe at some point we could have a setting in standalone to specifically select either internal or external mics.

Although I agree with @lukesleepwalker that the internal mics are actually pretty impressive. I'd like to have the option for variety of mic pickup patterns.

The only external mic I'd like to be able to use is a mini-shotgun with a sensitive narrowly focussed pickup pattern. Other than that, I think I'd mostly be content with the internal mic for most usage.

Gavinski

Semi decent workaround for the lack of 'record then overdub' - just press overdub any time after you have pressed record, then unpress record just after the marker goes back to the start of the loop.

My use case was just toying around with having iRig+Gauss as FX send destinations on the mixer to just "opportunistically" run/record any output (from computer or synths) into it... If nothing else a great way to make long zoom meetings a whole lot more fun by recording your colleagues and mangling them on tape

So I doubt we’ll get transport cos I see now that that goes against the nature of the app but it has forced me to approach things differently and the results have been really awesome.

This only works if you're recording for the entirety of the preset loop length, correct?

Sure, but if you are only recording part of it it's not a problem, there won't be clicks, just use overdub. Issues only arise at the end of a loop.

Right. What I meant was, this method forces you to use the entirety of the pre-selected loop length, instead of being able to arbitrarily define loop length on the fly the way you normally do with the Record button.

Yes @celtic_elk

So i decided just to wing it and not try to structure anything and just loop.... I took 1 instance of a piano and tried to make each loop unique without going to crazy... Love this app!!!! And thanks @Gavinski for hooking me on the piano looping idea.

sigma79

Will this end up being a simple audio player/looper.

Without looking at app.

3 hardware midi buttons spare.

Transport ( button press = stop. 2nd press = beginning )

Record.

Monitor.

Long record length.

Or is it Enzo?

Dont worry. Already bought gauss and I think Drambo only goes to 16 beats.

Spud

I was curious to see how many instances of Gauss I could run on my old Air2.....

This is really good! Nice work.

I don’t quite get how you get the skip back to the beginning of the loop in rhythm. It seems like it is toward the beginning of the loop, but is it really resetting at the end?

I really like what you have done here; much more rhythmic than other examples I have heard.

Thanks! I'm honestly not sure how it worked out like that - I am pretty certain I meant to set it at 8 beats not seconds, but it kind of worked out so I left it. You can hear it sometimes resets at a different point - not sure what's going on there - it's set to reset every 4 bars. Others seem to reset a bit randomly too but I'm sure it's something I've done, not the app...

I watched a couple more times and I think it is at the end of the loop jumping back to the beginning. It’s something that you are overdubbing(?) In my perception it becomes the first part of the loop, but I am looking at the playhead so that is an influence.

I think what is happening is that it is set to 8 seconds rather that 16 beats (which are the same at 120bpm), and the sequencer is changing the length of the loop every few cycles as it speeds up and and down because of the setting of step one, so it resets at that odd point every now and then. It still kind of worked so I left it.

This is how I do it. Set length, tap overdub and record and flow.

What I still have to say here is here: You were absolutely right, BitJuggler is MADE for Gauss also. Bitjuggler, Tape Pro and Gauss are one wonderful trio!!!

sigma79

Will have to watch tutorial. Wasnt sure whats its about when used but kind of reminded me of a happy hardcore rave tape.

Ah totally, BitJuggler blows the 1989 button out of the water in this case.

Note though, what I was talking about was pressing overdub AFTER record, not before. That way, the loop will snap back to the beginning when record is pressed, if you press overdub before record it will not.

david_2017

@Gavinski oh, I didn’t know that. Have to check this soon. Thanks for sharing

Gavinski

Yeah, important workaround for those who do want to try to use this in a slightly more traditional way 🤫

Carnbot

This launchpad triggering of Atom clips with AUM integration Jonatan and Blueveek are creating is something that Gauss could take advantage of and integrate if midi access is enabled, would make a great multitrack looper

brambos

I'm currently working on (among other new things):
1 - exposing transport controls via AU Parameters
2 - support for audio interfaces and external mics/inputs in the standalone app

I could really use your help, especially for #2 since there are so many different possible configurations out there. Send me a message if you would like to help beta test the new features!

Thanks!
