Great, not a problem for Luis. That's good enough for me.
I just can't fathom how anyone could possibly think it is possible for everyone to export a drum track and that's that. When I'm working on a song I edit the drum track right to the end of the recording and mixing process. How many times do you think I want to go back and export a drum track? Adding notes, removing notes, changing fills, and mixing as all parts slowly come together. The drum track is not the central, unchanging feature that all else is built around. Surely not everyone exports a drum track and that's the end. You don't find you need to change a kit piece here and there, adjust levels as the mix grows, add or remove notes?
Exporting audio is a non solution, at least it is for me. We try to pretend that iPads are the way of the future or can do it all but then I ask for some more than common feature that is at the heart of the way everyone I know mixes on a desktop computer I'm told, stop complaining, move on, just don't buy it, let it go, I'm going out of my way to create bad feelings, my complaints are over the top. But no biggie, apparently I'm just one lonely whiner, alone out here on the fringes of musical obscurity.

Fleecing implies intention.
Fleecing is good for sheep.

I especially appreciate this listed advantage:
Couldn't we all use a bit of that?
Sorry ... just trying to lighten the mood.
Agreed. I still use DM1/2 occasionally but it’s mostly for quick loops for other tracks or to slice and drop into Koala/Sitala, etc. But I would hate to pay almost $20 for an app and that be the only option. Or having to leave the AUM window. I like to tweak patterns and sounds while also messing with level, effects, or the other synths to make it more cohesive. That’s why it’s hard for me to use IAA apps now besides occasionally.
I’m fine with the dev having no interest or wherewithal to make them AU, but him saying “it shouldn’t be a problem” and “don’t buy it, simple” kinda rubs me the wrong way. Seems very dismissive. Does he not realize why AU isn’t important? It doesn’t seem that way based on just that comment.
Nope. It doesn't. Unless of course you believe it does. Then it might as well. I'm sure you can find something to support your belief but if you look properly you will find that it can be intentional or otherwise.
@HotStrange - keep in mind that quote is over 18 months old. Thought processes do evolve at least somewhat as evidenced by the more recent quote.
It would be great if it were AU. But it isn’t. Use something else.
The dev obviously doesn’t feel that he can make things work as he would like with the time available to him.
Can you not accept that it might be a lot more work than you imagine and wouldn’t pay for itself?
I imagine there are things in life you’d like to do but can’t justify doing because they’d be too expensive or take too much time or be inconvenient in some way that results in your not doing them.
I really don’t understand the need to keep throwing shade at the developer because he made a decision you don’t like.
@audiblevideo you just assign the Mozaic controls to what you want to control in lumbeats apps, and send that midi out of AUM to lumbeats. You could do this with loopy widgets as well. Just enable the midi in lumbeats.
This is essentially controlling hip hop drummer from Mozaic and making it play hammerhead instead.
I don’t even have HHD loaded as an instrument in AUM.
This might be a good time to mention the new MIDI Messenger app. It's free, and seems like it can replace a lot of what needed Mozaic / Streambyter scripting for things like the Lumbeats apps.
Mostly I do it from loopy pro anymore. I just load an instance and use it as a control surface. It’s too quick to whip up surfaces with it.
I’m gonna try it later tonight with that new KQ Voice plugin, and it’s loopback. Wondering if I can pipe Lumbeat audio elsewhere rather than loading it into AUM as an IAA and recording into koala or neon or whatever for stems.
Having it loaded (or any IAA) in a host is when things get unstable for me over time. It’s fine for some quick sampling, but inevitably the IAA crashes
Same. But I've had more than one discussion with people who prefer not to go that direction for whatever reasons. This is a neat little utility for doing up quick conversions and multiple message thingies without scripting. 😉
We're back there are we're. Check my posts and you'll see I've already said no need to parrot that line over and over and over and omg will it ever stop.
We'll be open about it then. On the app store.
Can I imagine there are things I don't know or may never under stand? Hmmm I think so. Others have done it. Be open about it. Rather than leave users with nothing to really go on. That might be nice. Hey peeps, I am never implementing auv3 as I don't know how and don't care to find out. etc etc.
Imagine? Hmm that will be tough. I mean, it's such an obscure concept, it might take some time as I don't know how to do it. How about this? I just won't do it, but I won't tell anyone that I didn't. It can be our secret.
That's because of the replies I've made to others who have either misunderstood, can't understand or disagree with my initial post. If you go back over the thread you'll see that your version of events ("to keep throwing shade at the developer") is not the case at all. If no one responded my first post would have been my last.
I could just as easily blame those who felt the need to comment on my post. Just as I've been told not to use the product, they could have not commented. But they did, and here we are. If the ongoing nature of this discussion what you believe to be me throwing shade at the developer the the solution is easy, and was from the start. I feel the way I do and that is that. No comments needed.
Finally, I know this post seems fairly smartarsed, particularly my responses to your responses. I just don't know anyway to respond to what seem to be equally smart questions. Hopefully this doesn't have to continue. Still, believe it or not, I'm not pissed at anyone and have no hard feelings about any of this. I'm more than happy to let it go right here but depends on others. I will probably respond to people who have something to say about my comments.
To avoid buyer’s remorse, I like to follow the wisdom of @Lady_App_titude. (Paraphrased) After you buy it… make something with it before you buy more.
@Lady_App_titude takes weeks to “make something”. I start a race to find something it’s useful for and I buy them as they arrive so this test drive includes “Combustor” which I also picked up today after watching @thesoundtestroom (Doug) demo it.
In this “Test Drive” I loaded Hip Hop Drummer into AUM and added some additional sound FX processing and used it’s MIDI out patterns to drive a PianoTeq 8 Steel Drum and Harp.
I’d never have gotten here without buying this app:
Definitely. That why I made sure to point out I was referring to just that comment. I guess now all we can do is see.
Yeah, that midi messenger app is brilliant. I’ve been waiting for something simple like that and I think the world needed it.
It just came a little too late for me cause now my brain is wired to
BX = B6But i guess if that midi messenger app came along earlier, I wouldn’t be any smarter…..but I’m sure you, uncledave, espiegle, ki, and many others would have had a much more peaceful time w/o my midwit noob questions, lol.
Welp, we do have dictionaries. Here’s a few common online dictionary definitions for fleecing that all seem to show intent. Please list some other sources that do not.
Cambridge
to take someone's money dishonestly, by charging too much money or by cheating them.
Merriam-Webster
a: to strip of money or property by fraud or extortion
b: to charge excessively for goods or services
Dictionary.com
to deprive of money or belongings by fraud, hoax, or the like; swindle.
🥱 this thread.
Wake me up if any discussion about the actual app happens. k?
I ain't buying it, but I'm interested in how people who have bought it like it. 😉
Can you please explain how you are using Mozaic for this? Sounds interesting
I will just pipe in that, despite it being a great pity this is not AUv3, this app does sound really killer. And although Splat to Clat also sounds killer, and is AUv3, this is a much better UI and UX experience than Splat to Clat.
It seems to me like it would be damn hard to pull off what the app claims to pull off ... organic and loose hip-hop beats with anything like a J-Dilla feel. For a non loop based sequencer app that would be quite a feat.
I mean, I feel like I've picked up some valuable vocabulary nuances and sheep farming tips, but what I'm really curious about is how well the app pulls this off.
There you go.
Sheep farming tips 😂
Any decent videos yet of this in action ?
Yeah it’s very hard to pull off Dilla beats without actually playing them yourself. And even then, he had the magic touch.
?
Someone made a suggestion to treat these apps as ‘hardware’ (for now).. Running them Ableton Linked on my iPad 6, linked to Logic on my Air 4… Airdropping midi (iBassist, HHD, etc.. I guess Audio loops also) to AudioShare is the ultimate workflow.. importing from AudioShare is a breeze from the files app… The things one can do with those generated midi files in Logic…. Convert to Patterns.. Automation … etc etc..
So my iPad 6 has become my Lumbeat Hardware…
THANKS..
well, you can select via MIDI, the pattern beat and kit in Lumbeat, so I simply use a script that sends those three messages CC0, CC32 and PC. Mozaic sends that to the app when the session loads. Only thing I cannot do is send the tempo as Lumbeat has no option for this . Only tap tempo. Pretty useless when playing live which is how I use them.
If you use Ableton Link, the tempo gets updated automatically if you set it in your host (or if you slave to MIDI clock). Since you are using AUM, set the tempo in AUM and the LUMBeat app will pick it up.
ahh thx cool tip. Never used that link function tbh. Although I do have the tempo set in AUM for the sessions, albeit I have to actually use the "PLAY" tab in AUM to transfer the tempo. Which is not all that useful as I need to have the actual app (as the particular drum app) open when it starts. Will that link do that?
asking again, if someone can please test that this opens, and exports wavs on M1 desktop?
