Update is that I needed to delete and reinstall MTS...and all is tasty again
@C_Ph A great tutorial in a simple 'flow chart' for the midiots among us and fun to get the Ims-20 out again. Thanks so much!
Tell me if this is normal or not for a daw, but I'm impressed at what MTS is able to handle at once. I've got 16 midi tracks going at once using about 1 gig of soundfonts, the bass track running through Ampkit+, the guitar track running through BIAS and JamUp, the keyboad track running iSEM, numerous effects on some tracks like reverb, delay, EQ, Altispace in the effects loop, and audio mastering and it's able to handle it all without complaining or glitching.

I am glad to hear that my mini tutorial was useful to someone else. :-)
+1 for the mini tutorial, @C_Ph, it helped me eliminate all the other possible suspects for my glitch. Nothing left but to reinstall and all is well.
@Coloobar, its normal for MTS.
1.4.1 update today to fix a bug that was just reported on their forum last Friday. How's that for customer support?
I just picked this up. It's a bit of a risk considering that I only paid $24.99 for Auria (sale) and 30 bucks for this, but the MIDI implementation/editing is just fantastic. Seems to run pretty well on my old device too. Learning the interface but so far it's handling things quite well.
I think the built-in instruments are kind crap, but they take up no file space and having a built-in SoundFont player really opens up some possibilities for this thing.
Hey more-experienced users of MTS: Is there any way to "freeze" tracks like you do in Auria (and possibly other DAW's)?
I started playing around with guitar tracks and was using some IAA effects. This worked, but you can't have more than one instance of an IAA going, and if the effects app shuts down, the effect is lost. I assume if I just recorded everything through AudioBus, I would have a saved "input" as my audio file without the need to leave the effects apps open.
This app certainly seems to run more efficiently than something like Auria. I actually like Auria, but not so much on an iPad2 - you have to baby the hell out of it.
But is there anyway to "lock in" or "freeze" a track in MTS if you have a sound you no longer need to modify or edit? Thanks!
Apply effect option (long tap the track name box).
@StormJH1: when you long press the track name of the respective audio track and select 'apply effects' the existing track will be rendered with the effects that were on the track. This is essentially the same as the freeze function in other daws. However, there is no unfreeze function. You could however record the effected track to a new track, by soloing the effected track and select 'master out as record' on the new track. This way you end up with a 'frozen' version and the original track with the iaa effect still in place. Hope this helps.
@StormJH1 Not sure this is what you're looking for, but this is how the dev responded to "can you freeze tracks?"
"If audio effects use too much processing power you can solo the track, export the mix and import it as a new track again. In this case you'll probably want to bypass any effects in the Master section first."
Thanks, @C_Ph and @Maarten, I believe that was what I was looking for.
The interplay between the desktop version (I have the free one with only 3 tracks and other limitations) is interesting, but without an easy way (such as "Open In") to export/import projects from one to another, I think you're just as well rendering individual tracks as mixdown (.wav) file, and then simply adding that as an Audio File in MTS iPad. In other words, if there's a cool drum beat or loop that I only have on my PC, I would import that as a .wav file through AudioShare, as opposed to trying to open a project that has those component tracks in it.
Really enjoying the app so far, however. Both Reaper and MTS for Windows are about $60-$70, and you the lion's share of their functionality in the $30 iPad version.
