EDIT: Oh, the manual is real
Looking at the manual, this looks like it depends on a mouse. Can’t see it working on a touch screen in its current iteration.
Looks like iOS is going to be a long time off, but I like the concept of it the more I know about it.
Isn't it funny. I find his videos to be nothing more than demos. I don't think I've ever seen him give a definitive opinion. He may say something along the lines of "I'd like to see..." but you'll never hear him say something is bad or doesn't work. That's not a review imo.
The forthcoming SB Nest looks like what you'd get if Igor Vasiliev created Drum Computer!!!
They didn’t respond to us @auxmux about ios LOL, left us hanging
Sure they are not always 'reviews' but rather 'in-depth pre-views'.
In order to do a proper 'review' one needs to spend 3-6 months daily with the gear to be able to fully evaluate it.
I'd much rather watch Loop Poop than Bob Eats
Hehe, looks like the modular sequencers, I'm building in miRack now, so might be good rolling my own for now. 😁 Will sneak a peak at manual later for some tips hopefully.
Just started reading the manual, will be super helpful for tips:

But you can make this using miRack or VCV Rack or Reaktor, with Logic, And, Nor, S&H, Sequential Switch, Clocks, and other utility modules. I've been experimenting in miRack with this over the last month on my Instagram. Check out the 2nd video in the post below, using miRack.
The basic concept is using generative composition techniques, where rules create a sense of chaos/ordered randomness. Below is a recent video from Omri Cohen as well, which explores the concept.
It's great to see a dedicated sequencer/VST built around this, but also possible with tools available today.
Hrmmm. Thanks for posting these videos @auxmux Going to see how this might translate to Drambo
Good call, can’t go wrong with mirack, covers almost everything!
You can never have too many sequencers.
No problem, I have been thinking about this as well. Still exploring the possibilities in miRack right now, but would be awesome to see how Drambo could support stuff like this, especially switches.
Any more news on this? I’m quite excited even though I don’t really have an idea what it is or does.
Thank goodness, I finally have someone I can tell my wife to call when she checks the account statements and finds the breadcrumbs of my addiction! 1800GAVINSKY!
Correct. And if we're honest, this description fits most ios app reviewers, even the ones that are popular in the forum. One that I do like just commented here the other day that if they don't like something they'd rather not review it. Another one I also like recently openly compared a company that gave them a freebie favourably to one that didn't. Also, can you recall any examples of people giving out "free codes" and then seriously criticising a product?
I mean 🤷
Looks like someone cloned the Obscurium page and started editing it for Nest.
Yeah, agreed. It seems to me that the whole "just to be clear, this was supplied by the company but I'm still going to give my honest opinion" is hilarious. See also, I've been given this app but don't let that worry you.
All of that kind of practise means that there has been a slow creep of reviews becoming supplier lead. Now it's kind of like an eBay seller review. You're urged, guided and encouraged to only ever give a 5 star review.
I honestly can not think of a YT reviewer whose opinions I would rely on for a thorough review. I'm not knocking them but they're definitely not helpful if you're hoping to get an objective opinion.
@ervin, @ashh
But if the review is in depth enough you can tell whether the app is something that you want, no? Even if the reviewer is couching what they say in terms of “I would like to see…” rather than “I hate this”. Also, a reviewer saying they won’t review something unless they like it shows that the things that they do review are things that they consider to be high quality, and so worth viewers’ consideration.
I don’t think I have ever bought a music app after watching a review and thought that I had been misled and I buy a fair few apps. Life is too short to watch hours of people just shitting on bad apps (unless they are funny, Zero Punctuation’s video game reviews are a treat)
That's not a review. A review is a careful consideration of all the good and bad points of a piece of gear, for example. Someone who chooses only things that they like to review is simply doing that. You can believe whatever you want to about what motivates them to do that but it doesn't make it so.
Life is too short to watch people building a career out of bigging up their friend's apps.
@ashh we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one then. Life's too short to spend bickering on the internet.
Speaking of reviews, I find hardware reviews to be much more critical than app reviews, but I think that's because the hardware manufacturers are viewed as corporate, whereas the solo app makers are viewed as people.
As a service to us - the app users - I wish the app reviewers would provide more competitive analysis, that is, comparison with other similar apps.
All I’m looking for is a demonstration of functionality and sound. If the review delivers that I couldn’t care less about any editorialising. As auch I’m quite happy with @Gavinski @SoundForMore @thesoundtestroom @jakoB_haQ et al.
Harsh.
I do sometimes so this, but frankly it is a lot of work to do those kinda of fair comparisons and to know all the apps in question well enough to give it a good go. Amd then there is the question of whether viewers are interested. My recent comparison of 20 delays was loved by those who watched it, but it underperformed compared to my new release vids.
There are a lot and I mean a lot of different factors at play in the ins and outs of doing this 'job' with integrity and also having a chance to survive and for your channel to flourish. For example it is important to get out videos quickly as interest dies so quickly. That's not our fault, that's the fault of viewers caring more about the latest and greatest things. Every time something new is released people get in a frenzy, and then it is forgotten as the next frenzy comes along. Frankly there are times I feel like giving up my channel as I hate the fact that the market is like that. Yup, its kind of pathetic, frankly, though I am not immune to it myself. But I can pretty much guarantee you that if I drop a review of an excellent app from 5 years ago it is going to get fewer views than a review of a mediocre app that just dropped and will be forgotten about within days not weeks. Also, people want reviews quickly but they also want them to be in depth. These two conflict. I think I do a pretty decent job of it, and frankly it breaks my back and causes me a lot of stress in the process to pull off such quality in depth videos under great time pressure so regularly. So if its not good enough for some people, frankly they can look elsewhere for their 'content' as I'm doing the best I can, with very considerable sacrifices in many other areas of my life to get the time to do so.
@ashh
Neither me not Loopop, to my knowledge, are claiming to be reviewers. I show ppl how to give apps and give comments, often negative, on things I don't Like. If u try to couch these in polite terms it is because I care about the people at the other end of the review and don't want to shit all over them in public.
My channel tagine is 'I RTFM so you don't have to'. But ultimately my channel is an educational guide on how to use apps, it is not a review channel. Leave that for the hobbiests, the people who have time to stick with just one app for months and learn all the ins and outs compared to previous apps they have used. No one trying to grow on youtube and get even the most meagre compensations for their labour has time for that. I literally bust my balls for currently about 250 bucks a month from Youtube with the odd paypal donation.
You get what you pay for.... Well in my case I think ppl are getting a hell of a lot more than what they are paying for, of they are even paying a single cent. Again, no one who is not doing this knows the amount of work involved in all the aspects - contacting devs, administering giveaways, reading manuals, getting creative ideas for musical examples, building social media profiles, replying to comments, writing descriptions for videos, making cards and ends screens, thumbnails. Testing out apps, sometimes extensively, that you end up not doing videos on. Lots and lots of email contact with devs, often about bugs, that ends up making the apps you are using a hell of a lot better than they would have been otherwise.
If you want completely objective reviews, crowdaource me a salary of 30000 bucks a year minumum - that would be a cheap price for the work involved, and trust me it often feels like work more than play - and I'll see what I can do.
@mojozart check out Paul Third and his desktop plugin reviews. I like how he sets up the A-B sound comparisons. (He also has a channel about his autism which is interesting). https://youtube.com/user/thirdynumberone
FWIW, I wasn't thinking of you in particular. Your content is mostly an in-depth exploration, and you usually choose complex apps that have few if any competitors.
Nice! I wish he'd do an amp or reverb shootout on iOS.
Why? I prefer a more wordy review of my opinions.
But people do think you're reviewing an app. Just turning your channel's gaze on it makes a sale more likely. You don't deny that, I'm sure? I find this abdication of any responsibility rather frustrating. This is pretty much what I was talking about with the whole "I was given this app but don't worry about it being objective" kinda thing. You are being paid the going rate for choosing to be on Youtube, with the chance of a lot more money if you work hard etc. Most people are earning minimum wage with the chance of more minimum wage, often for very hard work for long hours. You'll have to forgive me if I don't feel too much sympathy for your choices.
I think everyone should value what they do and I'm glad to see that you do too. However, if you cannot make it work then that's on you and you alone. You are giving me the feeling that you believe that anything is fine if it makes you a buck because hey, I work hard for you ingrates! It's not and you don't. You are working for you, your choices, your money, your future.
