The latest update allows to change the maximum delay time which fixed the crashes.
Regarding performance, here is a screenshot of Jade Starr‘s How to App show on youtube:
Thanks for the head’s up. Testing it now….
EDIT: Set to 1sec max delay, still get 100% cpu overload in AUM. No crash, by the way, but intense crackling overload until I disable both instances. C’est la vie.
That's odd, which model are you using? Which DAW?
Here's a video of us testing it in AUM on a 2014 iPad Air 2 with only 2GB RAM. Two instances, 0.5s max delay each, DSP hits 38%
AUM settings: Buffer Size? Sounds like it could be that, being set to low.
Thanks for the responses. iPad Pro 2021, 1TB/16g ram. Running AUM outputting to loopy pro for recording. Fact is that I’m pushing this setup hard, but with 16g, why not? (iPadOS limitation, I know). The overload is an intermittent issue, usually after running it for an extended period. Disabling Magic Delay stops the crackling, reduces the cpu instantly. Unpredictable in a performance setting, so I just need to finesse the set-up and test extensively to find the right combo. Still have the desktop mentality—32g RAM on a MacBook Pro does indeed set unrealistic expectations. Buffer is 256.
A buffer of 256 may be too low depending on what else you have going on. Maybe post a demonstration to give a more complete picture of the context.
Going to bump it up to 512 and report back. Indeed, a lot going on.
Apple bundle pricing woes ! Note don’t buy at sale prices if looking for the bundle ! I own the other 2 magic apps.
Ah I missed the sale and never picked up magic pitch, poopers.
I’m getting a maxed out message as well - with only two instances? and only two Pure Acids along with it. DSP is only at 35%. I’m running it on an Air 4
Hey everybody,
I've been sending a couple of emails back and forth with @robosardine and he was able to run more than one instance of course. I'd like to share the results here:
Please make sure you open the plugin at least once after adding it so you can select a max delay time. You can provoke a crash under certain circumstances if you add more than one instance without opening any of them.
Unfortunately Apple doesn't allow a proper way to manage memory on iOS. All we can do is force users to pick a max delay time so they can check their limits. Hopefully this is going to improve in the future.
Happy delaying!
