  • @espiegel123 Synthmaster 2 and Animoog Z were the AUv3s I was using.

  • @wim I’ve never encountered that type of thing either.

    Hey @Michael, wanted to report some bugs. AUv3s are crashing quite often for me. When I switch back from another app a lot of them have to reload. BeatHawk, Koala Sampler and LK are very prone to this, but even Drambo had to be manually reloaded at some point. BeatHawk seemingly never saves its state and even Koala came up empty last time. LK at least reloaded everything properly so far.
    I had similar problems with Cubasis btw.
    Could that be some settings of mine?
    I‘m on an iPad Pro 11“ (the first one) and run iPadOS 15.2.

    Apart from that I love Loopy Pro. It’s so damn flexible and intuitive at the same time.
    Also thanks for hosting this fantastic forum. You’re a legend! ❤️

    Btw, you should look through your analytics and see if there are crash logs for the AUv3s that crashed. The analytics are accessed via the OS's Settings app: Settings>Privacy>Analytics and Improvements>Analytics Data

    (You can get to Analytics and Improvements by typing 'Analytics' in the search field in the Settings app.

    I found yesterday’s logs for BeatHawk, Drambo, Koala and Loopy Pro.
    Anything specific I should look for? Should I send them to UVI, @giku and @Michael?

  • Hook us up!

    Anyone else experiencing audio dropouts /audio engine hiccups on iOS 13.7?
    (Air3, LP v1.0.1)

    Yep. I’m getting audio dropouts. I’m on 15.2.
    Most of the time LP is running fine but some times these dropouts happens. They seems isolated on a singel channel/track.
    I’m using TB eq on allmost every ch. I just mention this in case there could be a connection.

    If the logs have "wakeups_resource" or "cpu_resource" in their names, you can ignore them. They are normal. If they just have the app name and the date, they are likely crash logs, and you might try sending them to the devs. Try to be specific telling them what you were doing at the time, esp. that you were running the AUv3 inside Loopy Pro.

    Good to know. I sent the logs to the devs. I hope it helps them.

    @GeertBevin assumes this to be a Loopy Pro problem.
    It may just be MY problem :smiley:

    Any idea?

    @tja if you tag and attribute something to someone, it seems good form to be complete and give that person's quote. This is what is replied to your post in another thread: "This looks like a Loopy Pro issue, from your description and videos it's very likely it's stopping to call the MIDI Tape Recorder audio callback block."

    I used MIDI Tape Recorder without any problems in AUM.

    But somehow, I sometimes cannot get it to play or record in Loopy Pro.
    I can only assume that this has something to do with any Donuts currently being active or not, but am often confused.

    In AUM, the transport does not need to run.
    In Loopy Pro sometimes I seem to need a Donut running, sometimes not.

    Also, the MPE text near the MTR track does not show up, which it does in AUM.
    This may be because of the configuration with two Animoog Z instances?

    Here a video:

    @tja: try setting a tempo . I didn’t have a chance to watch your video. Many apps need the host bpm to be set in order to run. Loopy usually derives tempo from your first loop and so doesn’t have a default tempo. Try entering one.

    Yessssss!

    You are clearly our "Loopy Pro God", right behind Michael himself, it seems :)

    That also explains my confusion as this problems sometimes needed a running Donut and sometimes not ... I had no explanation for the changing behavior, but I never checked the tempo setting.

    Thanks a bunch!

    Don’t feel bad, it took me a hot minute to wrap my head around this as well! (Now if I could just get my head around some other things in LP, like when loops just start playing all by themselves right in the middle of something, without me tapping them! I’m sure it’s a setting I’ve changed somewhere deep in the menus, maybe on a color, or maybe somewhere else. Thank god the manual is starting to arrive!)

    If a loop starts playing by itself it would be because if something you set up. A follow action or midi mapping or assigning something to a group or something. Or if something was added on the sequencer page and forgotten about.

    When I come back to Loopy Pro, I constantly see this:

    Animoog Z shows an empty window.
    It is required to close and re-open to show the GUI.

    I did not yet notice that in AUM...

    If you turn on LP’s “Play in background “ setting that won’t happen. When play in background is off, loopy puts things “to sleep” when it goes to the background and there seem to be some glitches with interface redraws when it comes back into the foreground. Turning the option on will increase battery consumption if LP is in the background for a long time.

    Thanks.
    Not sure if it’s interface, plugin or LP related.

    • The interface was Line6 Sonic Port VX - it’s not exactly trouble free from what I read here on ABF - mostly iOS update related issues - but for me it worked fine so far, being generally late with updates
    • Plugins: Nembrini, Dubstation - never had issues with either so far, but Audio Damage plugins can be tricky

    Empty project; tempo set manually; plugins on input channel, monitored - random audio dropouts when playing guitar
    Switch to AUM to rule out potential hw/sw issues - same hw, same plugins, no dropouts; surprisingly a cleaner, more transparent sound with better dynamics
    Back to LP; last project state recovered; seemingly tempo set, but Dubstation ‘Delay Time’ param no longer works; switch to 44.1k to ‘reset‘ audio engine - distorted sound while playing; switch back to 48k - Dubstation is still not working properly, sound is ok but occasional audio dropouts

  • Is there anyway to adjust the volume when previewing loops from already imported media? Right now it’s blistering loud!!! I lowered the master channel mixer level - but for previewing media/loops it seemed only the system volume on iPad would lower volume..

    Where are you previewing the already imported media from?

  • I swipe up on a donut, hit import button in top right, which brings up the Media browser that shows all my imported loops (below Document picker & music library).

    I think the mixer would only apply to tracks and inputs. I think adjusting your system volume is probably the only way to do it (same would be true if playing back from the Files Quicklook)

  • Anyone using the Akai APC 40 MK2 with Loopy Pro and care to report of its integration?
