Slightly off beat recording issues
So here’s the thing: I load Apematrix inside Garageband and record a track, lets say a rhythm. When I record the exact same rhythm on a second track the beat is recorded slightly off beat. I can manually drag the waveform to position it right, but that’s kind of silly and a pain in Garageband on iOS. I have exactly the same issues when using Paul’s multitrack recorder inside Apematrix. No matter if I choose ‘host sync’ or ‘remote’ it never records perfect spot-on. And to be honest, Paul’s app is very coarse for editing so that’s why I need a DAW. Anyway, an annoying problem I just can’t seem to get rid off as all tracks I record seem not completely 100% synced.

..and here a screenshot of 2 identical track recordings in GB, but off beat. I open Apematrix in GB, I go back to Apematrix where the GB recording icon has appeared on top of the screen, I hit record, metronome does a countdown and recording begins, after recording this is the result in GB, off beat compared to the first track.
Could it be that ApeMatrix being IAA and all doesn't really work that well for these types of duties?
I don't even know if ApeMatrix supports any kind sample-accurate syncing method and GarageBand lives a life of it's own working at 44.1k sample-rate even on 48k only devices just for starters which can get pretty interesting when it comes to sync.
One idea would be to use ApeMatrix's built-in recorder and export the audio to GarageBand...
You could be right about that.
And using Apematrix build in recorder is not an option either, it’s primitive as I can’t arm it, when I hit the record button it starts recording immediately and has no influence on start/stop
What apps are you using with ApeMatrix? AUM might work better but is no guarantee when it comes to GarageBand but even in stand-alone AUM is quite good at recording loops of each track individually if needed.
Even though I do like GarageBand it really does need an update to modernize it a bit...
I use Korg Gadget in Apematrix, it sequences the synths I load in Ape and I like to use the rhythm part of Gadget, so it has become a Gadget/Apematrix fusion, Gadget synced with Apematrix. But maybe I might be better off with changing from Ape to AUM. I don’t mind about Garageband, it’s free sitting on my iPad and I tried to make it work as Audio Evolution Mobile did not work out at all with Apematrix, errors each time I tried to load it. And Gadget is not even recognized. The dev told me that IAA might give difficulties, so no bad word about AEM. I tried it. Considering a different workflow is not always easy when you’re kind of used to the same routine, but I know something needs to change if I want to move forward
Quick question about AUM: do I need to buy Audioshare if I want to export recorded audio, or does it just save in a folder on my iPad?
You don't need AudioShare you can export from the File menu in AUM.
(I don't have AudioShare installed at all).
Many thanks Samu
AUM has a folder in 'Files.app' but it doesn't currently show the recorded audio files, only project files.
But you can easily export from AUM. Hamburger menu -> files and long-tap on the object you wish to share/copy elsewhere.
Great, noted. Will buy AUM this week and hope I can make some progress.
