AudioCopy sucking up battery
I'm running iOS 8 GM on my iPad air which allows me to monitor battery use, I just noticed that AudioCopy has used 36% in the past 24 hours on background activity. And I've not even used the app in that time. WTF?
Comments
It's a retronyms app,what did you expect? (sorry,couldn't resist).
Uh oh. Maybe let @DanWalton and team know your findings via email?
My guess is that it's the 'new ticker' that monitors the news & sound cloud activity that is updating in the background, it's silly 'advertising feature' present in almost all Retronyms apps and there really should be an option to turn it off especially if it nagatively affects battery life...
A good practice is to DISABLE background reload for all apps.
Also, AudioCopy doesn't seem to work on my iOS 8. Neither beta neither GM.

oops
What if you turn off wifi?
Airplane Mode will help because the AudioCopy app won't be able to download new junk for the "news ticker" but the app might still try to ping whatever server(s) it gets the info from, which also hurts battery life.
Retronyms really needs to get rid of this garbage in the AudioCopy app. It's understandable to see it in apps like Tabletop and iMPC, but AudioCopy is a utility app with a very specific functionality. One of those functions shouldn't be to constantly promote their other apps.
At least @j_liljedahl has a sense of humor about this shit:
Retronyms should do something about this—anything.
Maybe if other brave iOS8 adopting souls post similar screenshots here @DanWalton and team will address it.
FWIW, I don't see a problem with them having a news ticker in a free app. Fair enough. But is their news so hot that it needs to poll for updates? Once on app launch or even once every 24 hours should be plenty. Perhaps it is meant to do just that and this is indicative of a bug.
I deleted the app a few weeks back.
but still have its functionality...am able to ACP as usual.
on 7.somefing so don't know how my battery feels 'bout it.
AirPlane mode might help (I haven't tried), but I don't want AirPlane mode on my phone! I'd like to be able to receive phone calls and stuff like that..
UPDATE: actually, AudioCopy doesn't even show up under "background update" so no way to disable it there. And if it's not there, then I don't think the app can run in background to update stuff. Or at least that's what I thought?
Forwarded @j_liljedahl's tweet to retronyms' twitter. They said:
That's not"interesting",that's ridiculous.Since Retronyms is having this ACP feature"exclusive"i also avoid Audio copy whereever i can.Bless there's Audiobus and IAA now...
What's the conclusion of this, and is there a way to disable this ticker in impc pro as well?
@Crabman said:
That's a question of the prefered workflow. IAA and Audiobus are realtime features. This means I have to record and to cut the audio. My personal workflow is to import rendered loops from other apps. In this case, Audiocopy is essential :-(
Fortunately we still have the plain general pasteboard, which also supports any kind of file (not only uncompressed 16 bit audio), and AudioShare of course
@j_liljedahl said:
Many thanks ... I didn't know that. After deleting the AudioCopy app, the General Pasteboard is still working in my favorite apps.
oh,i have to try this as well
I think thier ACP free model is lame.
I would gladly pay for ACP as we pay for audiobus.
They could upgrade to support 32 bit and work with NS and caustics like apps to enable steam export to DAWs like Auria (audio copy paste steams)
I was scrupulous, when it was first done by Retronyms, gave it a try, waited those endless seconds it takes to start EACH time, deleted it again and am happy with the General Pasteboard and Super-Audioshare again since-,
thanks for trying, not for me. Also I'd rather pay for a "friendlier"version of this (with more feeling and less hype),
my boasting 0,000001$, cheers, t
I too was sorta off my rocker when it was announced on Dischord that Retronyms was taking this on. Thought they were biting into AudioShare's market and would have much preferred Kymatica take this on because he'd obviously be a better steward for something as important as audio copy and paste. And I said as much. I was right, for once. This probably never would have happened were it a Kymatica app and if it had, it wouldn't have been happening for this long!
When Audiocopy 2 is running, the latency setting of Audiobus is overwritten by the setting of Audiocopy. Audiobus shows a hint that this has something to do with the starting order. Is this a normal behaviour of all audio apps or is it specific to Audiocopy?
The first audio app loaded gets to set the latency / frame size. Subsequently loaded apps need to honour that setting. Best to kill all apps and then load AB first.
How can I stop AudioCopy.app from automatically saving a new file inside AudioCopy.app every time i use 'AudioCopy'?
Sometimes I just need to copy a sound from one app to another without the need to save it inside AudioCopy.app.
Only solution so far seems to be to delete the AudioCopy.app...
A better way would be to give the user an option to save the content of the 'clip board' as a file in AudioCopy.app if needed instead of saving every single AudioCopy as a new file...
(I use AudioShare most of the time and when using AudioCopy from AudioShare AudioCopy.app insists on making a copy inside AudioCopy.app causing un needed duplicates and bloating storage).
is it on akais fb page , I can't find it?
@kobamoto said:
It's on their FB-Page too under 'Posts To page' section, same text as here...
Hopefully all of this nonsense goes away entirely soon as iOS 8 Document Picker matures.
I'm including the whole notion of 3rd party pasteboard apps as nonsense. It's a hack and I'm looking forward to the day where developers make use of the more modern version of it. J_Lilla already has it out there and ready for when they do.
@syrupcore said:
This is what i hope for too in the long run...
Way too many apps rely on 'AudioCopy' to get some kind of export out from the app unless one is recording the output...
What bothers me with AudioCopy is that every single time i AudioCopy something it gets stored in the AudioCopy.app instead of just being held in a 'copy-buffer'. This becomes really annoying if the intention is just to temporarily get a 'AudioCopy' from one app to another without the need to store the file.
I highly doubt AudioCopy.app will ever get iOS Filepicker & Fileprovider support...
Only Solution I've found is to completely delete AudioCopy.app and if there is a need to store the file paste it into AudioShare...
Keeping the name is real nice. And being able to copy 3 things and paste them quickly is real nice too. Trimming, also nice. Thing is, we can do all of this with AS!
