What I find interesting is that, if this was a launch thread, it would have far more views. Many Audiobus Forum users only get their fix from spending money rather than trying out a killer app for free 🧐

Am I wrong here?

All the threads and hype made me pick up the betas, and they are indeed great, especially Silo. What is also "great" are their desktop prices ... I'm slightly concerned to see what price points we'll see here. And I don't understand how casual ABF users can have all this stuff on desktop.

We don’t set the desktop prices. I hope people are happy with the prices we’ve picked for iOS.

any chance of a ‘bundle’ price for all 5? 3 of them are definite purchases for me ... btw, no particular bugs noticed here , using on ios 13 & 14 .. mainly in Apematrix.. local apematrix lfo automations also seem to work fine ... and a big thank you for covering all parameters comprehensively on that front right out the gate

@trickyflemming I'm still a bit confused by the high delay introduced by lo-fi-af (~40ms as reported by AUM). I do understand it for plugins that have to have a delay like a lookahead compressor. Is there something inherent to the way lo-fi-af processes audio that cause this?

The ones I have were bought at plugin alliance when they’re heavily discounted (like sub thirty notes of whatever western flavour you prefer, sometimes less with extra vouchers etc…)

Two components introduce latency: the Fourier transform used for the spectral section (to convert audio to/from the frequency domain) and the lookahead maximization on the Press knob.

Got it, thanks for the explanation!

@trickyflemming do you know yet if you will be doing a bundle for those of us who already know they want the lot from the get-go? 😇

so the latency will persist on launch day? not very ideal, I've never noticed latency in any other plugin (I'm sure they have it, but I don't notice it)

Well, I never! Hmpf! hair flip

Same latency with Loopy Pro. Although its works with loopy pro at description.
