Good info, thanks. AEM still looks like the top of the list of options for me as MIDI issues won't affect me as I really have no plan to use any of those features. The effects routing looks like a killer feature.
One UI issue that I'm concerned with is the way the track controls aren't all shown at once. What I mean is, you click on a track and you get a screen-length vertical pane on the left with only the controls for the selected track, like "arm", "solo" and "mute". Is there an option to have the traditional view where you can see each track's controls beside each track? If you forget and leave one track solo'd, do you really have to click on all tracks until you find the one with that button activated? What about arming multiple tracks?
It would be great if that global tumbnail view on the bottom that shows the entire project (nice feature!) would have armed, solo'd and muted tracks color coded but I don't see that happening in any of the screenshots or videos that I've watched.
EDIT: I see there's a "mixing" screen. I guess it's not that big of a deal to have to switch over to that screen to see which tracks are active, but I use those three buttons plenty when I'm tracking, not just mixing.
Yes, this right here. I just cannot get along with the visual and screen layout in AEM. I don’t understand the need for a 3 screen layout when 2 screens plus scroll would be enough, and it’s annoying that the screens only go left to right, so it seems from the channel view I can’t go back to the track view and must cycle through the master strip first. Track controls not being exposed, one track strip at a time view, AUv3 inserts taking up the whole screen. I’m honestly having a hard time getting around the layout because I can’t see enough params and controls at once, and it doesn’t do pop up windows for multi views. It’s really too bad, because this DAW should be the best of them, and it really works! But workflow wise I can’t get much done with it because of the visual/UI/UX. Will give it another shot and try to adapt...
Yeah, those things seem like minor issues but they really aren't when they irritate you every time you use the app.
This thread has been enlightening as it's highlighted these types of details. I might start a thread about Zenbeats as it's another one that doesn't have a mountain of threads digging into every detail, as Cubasis and Auria do. IOS DAWs are somewhat difficult for users like me to research as there is far more information about beat-making, midi, sampling etc than traditional audio work. AEM shows that an app that does what I need can be under 100mb.
I love that cut and ripple thing - where you select an area to cut, then boom! the whole lot slides together and joins up minus the gap. 😍
I'm not sure how you would use that in music editing. Everything after the cut would be out of sync with the rest of the tracks, right? Seems more like it's only useful for editing in a project with only a single track, like a podcast.
What I will do is drop in a lengthy jam (having recorded one instrument - just experimenting with effects and tweaking)). I will then go through it in AEM and cut out all the dross (usually in 4-8 bar measures) and let the ripple do its thing. Then when it’s next in Blocs Wave I will know that am not going to keep landing on a heap of useless noise. Also listening through it often comes up with some decent and unexpected passages that have come together. I also know when I pick it out of AudioShare in the future that’s it’s full of stuff that will actually want to make use of. Finally I like to use DJDJ to make longer files to drop into AUM and it’s a lot easier to find the loop and cue points you might want when all the dross is gone.
Sometimes a five minute jam will only have about 30 seconds of useful material (on a good day 😃) so it’s a good way of getting that out and getting it together.
I’m glad someone mentioned DJDJ, and is using it!
