I for sure have no issue or regrets with AEM.
@dwrae, you answered me this 6 months ago:
"According to the screenshots, iBassist is an AU instrument, not a AU MIDI effect. In AEMS, an instrument track cannot output MIDI, it only outputs audio."
Will this restriction also apply to the new release? Or maybe iBassist will be avaliable also in AU MIDI effect list?
@yellow_eyez : I’m a Logic Pro for iPad user at the moment but I DO like ntrack also .
n-Track Studio Pro is a one-time purchase alternative. For details check https://ntrack.com/ios-multitrack-studio.php and scroll down to "Compare Plans".
I can't take the time right now to cite references, but judging from more than one source over the last few years, I'd say with high confidence Auria Pro is maintenance only at this point.
It is really nice to see how responsive and active @dwrae is.
@wim thanks
[ok so n-track is pro full version for $29 including BPM/time sig change, multi core thread, PDC
MTS also has that]
Does AEMS do PDC yet? I know it does multi thread and time sig and bpm changes
PS I give up on Auria Pro, just like DPP….if it was gonna be updated in any significant way, wed know about it
@yellow_eyez : I think only the free version but it was before subs. Haven’t used it in awhile . It’s underrated though for sure
@dwrae thanks , that’s good news
@dwrae not sure if I asked already. Is there any option to arm a track to record and it just starts recording as soon as audio signal comes in? (some record threshold thingie)
tried searching the documentation and could not find it. Thanks
Those drums sound ridiculously good : Is that digistix?
Sorry @dwrae
Did you say PDC is in next version z?
An AUv3 cannot end up in the AU MIDI list if it isn't one. You can record MIDI from the AUv3 instrument onto the instrument track it's on, but you cannot route it to other tracks (except use it as MIDI input of effects on another track like Vocal Tune Pro).
AEMS has always done PDC for audio tracks, just not for instrument tracks. Although I could just enable it, you would miss the attack of the first note (if positioned at 0:00) which is also the case for audio tracks, but people tend to use MIDI drum tracks/machines more often than recording a real drum kit on mobile. But I would need to disable it when the track is armed, since it doesn't make much sense to play live on a track which has plug-ins that delay your playing.
No, I don't think you will find that often in a DAW, perhaps I'm wrong.
Right, i guess thats what i was asking. I saw the android has it,and Because I use a combination of drum machines/apps that are somewhat cpu intense (one shot), i was wondering about the PDC but, you know better than I do….
AEMS is in the lead !!! Like i said, with TB endorsement its gonna be great.( Cubasis and logic better watch)… i cant wait to see the new look man
Just to make sure: next release will not contain 'the' new look.
So, what do you guys expect what will happen (to PDC) when you put an effect with a large latency on an instrument track and arm it to play live?
@yellow_eyez : TB integratesd with it ? Seriously ? Cool!
Yeah man , TB are IAP for the plugins how Auria pro has FF plugins to buy
TB+AEM just makes me want AEMS to be my daw lol
Yes
Does AEMS allow for 3rd party plugins auv3 to be mapped to a midi controller with midi learn ? (Or only transport etc is mappable) to record automation from the plugin
Any idea why Loopy Pro can treat the same application as an AU instrument and MIDI?
It means the plugin advertises to the OS that it can be an audio or midi instrument
So anyone know, can you map auv3 params
To midi controllers and knobs /faders? Just curious if this can record automation for 3rd party plugins like zenbeats 3 can
So is MIDI instrument very similar to MIDI effect or not? I mean that it receive(generate) + modify MIDI signal and send it further to its receivers. Is I wrote earlier I don't see iBassist in MIDI effect AEMS list even though it does the same thing as, say, ChordBud2.
I'm trying to understand why I can't use iBassist in AEMS as MIDI generator like I can in Loopy. Your statement implies that it's either my fault because I'm doing something wrong, or it is a limitation of AEMS.
EDIT: I'm sorry I didn't notice earlier - it is not just about iBassist because Digistix is also not presented in MIDI list = I can't use it as generator for e.g. OneShot. So I think I now finally understand what @dwrae tried to tell me all that time: "In AEMS, an instrument track cannot output MIDI, it only outputs audio." So the general statement for AEMS is that if an application is an audio instrument, it cannot also be a MIDI effect, even if the OS allows it.
My fault, sorry for my ignorance, @dwrae.
Hmm, that can’t be it. I’m seeing Hilda synth available as both AU instrument and AU MIDI; likewise Drambo is available in both options. Could it be to do with how individual apps ‘advertise’ themselves as being available as a AU MIDI processor as well as instrument? @dwrae?
Yes, there is a button called MIDI for AUv3 instrument and effects that opens a dialog where you can assign a CC or Channel pressure to a parameter. It has a MIDI learn button as well.
Actually, scrub what i last said, I’ve just checked in other apps and Digistix 2 isn’t shown as an AU MIDI option because it’s not got an AU MIDI element - it doesn’t show up in AUM or Drambo as an AU MIDI option either, only as an instrument. As such, i don’t see anything unusual about AEMS’s behaviour - all of my MIDI AUs show up as options correctly - apologies @dwrae.
I don’t see anything in the iBassist app description to suggest that it contains an a MIDI AU as well as a AU instrument. I think this might be a peculiarity with Logic @filo01? Can you see it as a MIDI AU in anything other than Logic? Is it definitely being shown in Logic as a MIDI AU and not just a MIDI source?
All my screens was from Loopy Pro, I don't have any other DAW now. I can use Digistix2 as AU MIDI in LP and can send MIDI from it to e.g. Ting or OneShot. Scaler2, Riffler (both are also available as AU instrument) works as MIDI AU too in LP.
Yes, but what i was trying to establish was whether you’re sure that Digistix/Riffler are being offered in LP as MIDI AUs and are not just available as MIDI sources? Those are different things.
Your screenshot from LP (apologies, i thought it was from Logic) says ‘Add MIDI’ not ‘Add MIDI Audio Unit’. Not being a user of LP i don’t know whether this is the case or not, but that could just mean ‘add a MIDI source’.
For example, i can use Digistix 2, loaded as an AU instrument, as a MIDI source to control other instruments within AUM. This is not the same though as Digistix 2 having a dedicated MIDI AU, which as far as i can establish, it doesn’t.
As such, i think your question might concern the MIDI routing options in AEMS and not MIDI AUs. Apologies if I’m wrong though.
@Robin2 : in loopy pro Add MIDI is for adding controllers or AU that can send midi
I just checked: iBassist is definitely not a AU MIDI effect. It can show up as MIDI input though when you run it standalone, but I didn't manage to send MIDI events from it to either AEMS or CB3. I just tried to see what happens if I force iBassist to be detected as AU MIDI and it just 'consumes' MIDI that is already on the track since it is not outputting the MIDI. It doesn't output any MIDI from itself either in this case.
When I use it as AUv3 instrument, then MIDI from iBassist can be recorded onto the track.
But even if it did work as AU MIDI, you wouldn't be able to route the MIDI to other tracks in AEMS.
