Tonex stand-alone unusable

I usually use Tonex as a auv3 in AUM, but I’m trying to isolate the source of a mild distortion. I’m now trying to run Tonex as a stand-alone app and find it’s unusable. According to the settings, it’s detecting my Motu M2 interface as “digital audio” on channel 1. However, I could see no metering in the app unless I went into IOS settings and toggle “enable microphone” but then it’s so much noise and distortion that it’s unusable. I’m on a clean amp profile and I can hear my guitar tone in the background, but the primary sound is what sounds like the digital distortion that occurs when I sometimes leave my mobile phone near a real physical amp and someone txts or calls.

Has anyone gotten this app to function as a standalone?

    I got it to work but it took tapping on the sample rate in its settings a couple of times. It seems that it doesn't correctly initialize the sample rate when it launches. The first tap did not solve the problem but the second or third one did. I guess not many people run it standalone.

  • It sounds to me like you're getting microphone input rather than the signal from your guitar. Are you using earbuds with a microphone by any chance? If so then be sure to plug the guitar interface in last. If you plug headphones with a microphone in after, that will take over as the audio interface. The last plugged in interface takes over.

    See my comments above. Tonex on my iPad was trying to run at 44.1K but failing to initialize the sample rate of the interface which was at 48k. When that happens, the sound is garbled and weird. After a few tries tapping its sample rate popup ( which offered only 44.1k) , it finally started working.

    Yeah, you figured it out. I had to tap on it about five times but it worked. Thanks.

    There are differences. The first thing I found is that the plate reverb has a loud static noise in stand-alone that doesn’t occur when used as a plug-in.

  • @Sabicas : I get the feeling that the AUv3 is the thing to use for your testing. The standalone has probably had less real-world testing since the AUv3 gets a lot more use.

    Yeah, I’ve had it for years and never tried stand-alone. Was just trying to see if an AUM setting was introducing any issues (it wasn’t).
