Definitely share if you're happy with the app! Sharing is Caring 😎
You're a star. Just posted a link to the Trinity site on Mastodon to try to get you some way toward that 5x increase in sales.
Good looking out @FastGhost ! SevenSystems is among one of several Devs that we haven’t scared off over the years.
Cheers! Nothing special about quickly fixing bugs though -- actually they shouldn't even occur in the first place 😄
Heh, to be honest I find the atmosphere here generally far friendlier and less entitled than in most other forums I've visited.
First of all it's good to hear that, but also - wow, those other forums...🙂
Will do! And yes, sharing is caring.
Thanks for this great app @SevenSystems - the ability to load a reference track and use the differential spectrum (on my phone) is amazing. Your guide is really good too.
One request (if there's any room) would be to add an LRA (Loudness Range) - I've gotten so used to this on ToneBoosters Barricade.
Hey. Thanks for your purchase and kind feedback.
Yes, the way the metering is displayed (and what's displayed) could still be improved in general, I have this on my agenda!
That's great news - and a really fast response time! Thanks again.
@SevenSystems I purchased and tried the app on my 12.9 1st gen (A9x)...it seems to struggle (crackles and studders). It runs great on my Iphone SE 2nd gen (A13). Is there a setting I can change to help my iPad run the app?
Thanks!
Hey. Thanks for purchasing Trinity. Yes, that iPad is a bit old, but there's a possible fix: If you have any other app on that iPad that can set the audio buffer size (for example, AUM), first kill all audio apps by swiping them off-screen, then launch AUM, set a large buffer size (like 1024 frames), then create a channel, select the device's microphone as its input, and mute the channel. This will lock the iPad's audio buffer size to 1024.
Then, launch Trinity. This should get rid of the crackles on older devices.
Let me know if this works.
Thanks for the quick reply! I will give that a try and let you know...
Worked perfectly! No more crackles/stuttering. Thank you!
Great to hear. I should probably put an update out that forces a large buffer size anyway. It's not like mastering is a time-sensitive real-time process like playing the drums 😃
Quick question…what does the Trinity LR4 toggle do?
Trinity offers two different (and thus different sounding) algorithms to split the frequency bands. You can get more details by pressing the ? button in the top right and then on the ? button on the Trinity LR4 toggle.
Ah yes…a very helpful button I completely overlooked
@SevenSystems - I bought this app yesterday and for me, a person who never has had a need to master a track and that also has ADHD and gets distracted/overwhelmed easily, having to leave the DAW and focus on mastering is low-key my favorite feature.
In a way it reminds of when I discovered iA Writer - (Lord, 10+ years ago.. wow. Time sure does fly) with the app dedicated to focus on writing, style, prose, with tools to push being better at the craft. All while seemingly at first glance simple but truthfully incredibly intuitive and clearly well designed and throughly thought through (say THAT 7 time fast lol)
IA ended up writing a blog about focus/adhd in 2021 you might find interesting .
The reference style approach is clutch. I'm newish to music so I had only heard in passing about referencing and this not only gave me the tools to do that efficiently on iOS, but is pushing me to want to finish tracks I can feel comfortable in releasing.
The panel is a nice, subtle touch, but I'm a sucker for skeuomorphism so I could be biased.
The incredible detailed manual is very welcome (Is there a PDF I could download that I missed?)
TLDR - Great fucking app - A gem in the app store.
I still hope that someone will do a complete real mastering demonstration using this app
I would be really helpful if it would allow to load an auv3, so you can use headphone correction software.
My postings from January and April 2023:
@SevenSystems Please add an AUv3 slot at the end of the chain. There you could use e.g. TB Morphit to judge the result optimally with a corrected headphone.
Or you could use additional analysis plugins like Youlean Loudness Meter.
This would be a great solution that no other mastering tool offers standalone.
The answer from @SevenSystems:
It's a good idea. However, integration of any kind of AUv3 functionality would be very hard to do given Trinity's architecture, but it's firmly planned for a possible V2 😊
Thanks so much for the kind feedback, that's very much appreciated!
And regarding the little wee skeuomorphism touch -- I wasn't sure about it at first either, and none of my other apps are skeuomorphic. But I must admit that Trinity has a very strong "plug-in" feel (even though it isn't a plug-in, as others have pointed out repeatedly in frustration 😄), and a slight "real-world" touch just fits this paradigm well. You must admit I kept it at bay and didn't go full-on wood! 😂
There is no PDF version of the manual, but it's all on one webpage so you could just use the Print feature in your browser and then print to PDF (Chrome/Chromium supports this natively).
I hope sales pick up on Trinity in the future so I can continue development -- for now they are barely enough to keep it afloat with iOS-related updates.
No problem! I cleaned it up and added it with 5 stars to the App Store. Hope that helps.
Oh man if you have any mock ups I would love to see it lol. Like I said I’m a SUCKER for it.
I don’t know enough about music especially mastering but I imagine that unless your sending off your music with your project files and the engineer uses the same DAW that most people who engineer or master would take a similar approach as Trinity approaches mastering they would only have the final stems?
I recall an interview where fred again.. mentioned him and Brian Eno had sent an MP3 to an engineer and the engineer refused it until it was a WAV and they just converted the same file and sent it back lol. I just imagine sending project files to these people and then being like wtf lol.
Stephan Bodzin I know sends his final arrangements to his engineer. Not even the stems. Just some thoughts on some pros.
I’m probably being ignorant but other than the headphone correction argument I think this is a well thought out approach.
Yeah good idea! On iOS in Safari you can screen shot a webpage and in the edit screen that pops up on the bottom left, if you click that on the top of the screen it gives you an option to save the screen or full page.
When you’re done you can save as a photo or a pdf. Ended up doing this and it works great!
A screenshot for anyone you might want to see.
I do too! Is there a video series breaking down the mix for Trinity? I recall you mentioning it took you twenty minutes to mix a track and that might be a nice way if you can figure a way to market it to the bedroom producers / iOS music community.
I’d offer but I have no social following of any kind and I’m definitely not comfortable enough with mixing!
Maybe look at some YouTubers who talk about mixing/mastering and see if they want to feature it. Most of them seem to be on Mac but because your app it available on both that’s your in.
That's amazing, cheers!
I try to maintain a balance, as noted 😄 so, no mockups for now!
Yeah, ideally you can work with the final (stereo) mix, but if someone's mixing is REALLY bad, you might have to request stems from them 😄 Trinity is very forgiving even with crappy mixes (like those I make myself!) because of its multiband approach, which can fix many problems that are inherent in the mix. But some purists believe that multiband mixing "messes with the sound" and prefer single-band or no compression at all in mastering. It all depends on taste and circumstances!
To be fair, a lossy compressed file as an input for mastering IS a bit blasphemic. I mean, you're trying to get the best sound possible from your art by sending it to mastering. You definitely don't want a significant reduction in quality (for no real reason) before even starting the process.
and it's not like we live in the 90s and sending large files involves packing a physical CD-ROM into an envelope etc. 😄
Ah yes that works too!
I don't do video tutorials in general, but I totally agree it would probably be worth it. I need to hire someone for marketing... (they have to work for free though or commission based on increased sales 🥺)
If I DID have money for marketing, I'd probably hire you though 😄 good ideas. I need to find time and motivation for this.
@SevenSystems - I can’t hear the audio clip as it is playing. Is there a setting of which I am unaware?
Could you try to disable the "Mute" toggle on your device (sometimes also called the "Ringer" toggle)? Trinity is one of the few apps that depends on this being off.
Ok. Got it. Thanks.
Sure! Let me know if you have any other questions or feedback ✅
lol - Fair enough!
Okay so there’s a lot of different school of thoughts to create the best mix. That makes more sense.
Also fair and true lol. I was meaning the idea of sending finished files rather than project files but I get what you mean and what you’re saying.
Damn same here then. It really is a gem.
All creative efforts can benefit from more marketing, iOS Music App devs especially (I’m being biased lol)
Cheers! That’s kind of you to say. I’ve seen this come up a few times on this forum. Definitely seems like a niche I could be interested in. Unfortunately entry-level no experience seems to be the barrier.
I’m doing a mastering challenge this week. I’ll send you the videos I make and you can use them for your socials btw!
