I really like Auria. When you're in it several times a week, you stop noticing the pixelation. I find the interface a breeze. Just like a good operating system, it gets out of the way and let's you focus on the task at hand. I've found that whenever I do encounter a problem, it doesn't take long to find the right screen to fix the issue.
BTW, I recorded iFretless into Auria via AB no problem, back when I was on 7.2, FWIW.
Now, learning the fine art of mixing and mastering ... That's still pretty pixelated for me
Yes, I haven't noticed the interface at all. I have noticed I have the tools to do real mixing on a tablet though, how awesome is that?!
@johnnygoodyear consider it done. Leave my plane ticket at will call! I have no mechanic skills and am the worst painter in the world, but why not? I've always wanted to see Austin! Actually, that's true. And if we can ever move out of NJ, Texas is one place my wife actually would move. Houston is one area she liked from online searching, but I've heard Austin is great. I met a bass player who lives there about a year ago and he encouraged me to visit. Maybe someday...
Get to Austin, via Houston or otherwise, and I will buy you your first plate of brisket my friend....not a bad place to be as the bones calcify, but keep a cabin somewhere North for the summer...
Thanks guys, the help and encouragement in this thread has motivated me to tame the Auria beast. I thought it'd be easy, after all I'm a Logic, Reason, Maschine, Ableton etc. veteran...but just goes to show even old dogs need to learn new tricks sometimes.
It could do with some polish, definitely. Just needs their designer to look over it and reappraise the font and colour usage when the coding's done. And maybe move the input links to the track box so people like me don't miss the input matrix.
Auria Gurus,
Is my understanding correct that Auria functions very well just using the native plugins ?
Do (possible) problems start with various combinations of AB / IAA instruments and effects ?
I must say I'm liking this app more and more, with a view to using it primarily as a guitar recording set-up and importing audio loops that I've created in other apps - Egoist / Sector/ Figure etc.
Generally AB and IAA work just fine into Auria, although it's a good idea to keep an eye on resources. But the native plugins are more convenient because the settings are stored with the project, you can save presets, and run multiple instances of them. They also seem to need less CPU and RAM to run.
The Auria app as a stand-alone is pretty rock-solid. When folks use AB & IAA, then they (may) come across issues. I personally don't use them very much (at the moment) not to say I don't or won't. (I like to keep things fully editable as long as possible) meaning not committing to audio to early. When Auria pro comes along that will be even more so.
So I'm still using other apps, mainly BM2, so that I have full midi data control.
"Everyone does there thing a little ways different".
Also different apps can give you different starting points and general direction, (creativity wise)
@Igneous1, the way you plan to use it is ideal. (As it was intended from the get go). Recording and editing live, acoustics, vocals, Gtr etc, it's the biz! (Importing audio, excellent).
As far as the native plug-ins go, the channel strip etc, there is a great deal you can do with it/them.
You are able take a project, from, .. ('Project' .. to .. 'Masterpiece') and also master within. Post Production, (Full Post Production) or whatever. This app can do it! .. As is! (People are doing it all the time).
The 'Pro' version will broaden it and make it easier and better.
It all depends on how much/well you use it, (the same can be said of many..) ... things
Yep. As @King777 mentioned, you can master with this app!
Nope. Not for me, and I've spent hundreds of hours working in Auria over the past year
Auria: It's Good.
The only real problems I have with it is inserting Stereo Designer. It works, but only when it feels like it which is most of the time, but every so often when re-loading it refuses like a pony with no courage; thinks about it, think about it, but then shies away.
Did a bit more with it tonight. It 'lost' the Yamaha synth again, this time via IAA. Rebooted and it was back, and did a few more tracks without any further issues.
Liking it a bit more now I'm getting used to it, particularly the editing tools. I'm a bit of a cut n paste boy so enjoying the trimming and snap-to options.
I'll probably be raving about it in a weeks time.
Hehe
Glad your getting there man! Nice n easy!
I almost always have AB and IAA problems with Auria but I think it's due to my iPad 3 and the devil that grew in it at some point. When I use Auria stand along (just to mix, not capture) it works wonderfully.
Back on the design whining: hoping the new mixer ditches the lines around everything. Seems like a hold-over from the current design but they're totally superfluous/noisey-making in the new one.
When I originally bought Auria (can't remember why now, must have seen something for the future) but I would see screenshots of it and my eyebrows would try to meet.
It's funny what you (kinda) get use to over time.
The first time I laid my eyes on 'Magellan' (for iPad)'s Fx1 rack, (18 months ago) I couldn't help wishing Auria and some other apps would follow suit..
Beautiful (in the eye of the beholder).
Also those effect match the beauty. There fab!
Auria became, the 'what's underneath the hood' app.
Funny :-) Auria's current skeuomorphic LnF is one the most attractive things form-wise about music making on the iPad for me. Of course, feature-wise it's also stunning, but, I mean to look at. That and iMS-20, iVCS3, iMini, iSEM, etc. I never even noticed the pixelation issues on a Retina display. Could just have been my eyes misting over :-D
When I first got it I had to take a few screenshots so I could zoom in. Doing this I new my eye were ok. Lol
Added: true story!
Auria Pro!
I actually quite like the skeuomorphic bits in Auria and the non-retina doesn't bother me either. It's all of the non "graphic" stuff—typography, spacing, lines/borders—that I think deserves love.
Wonder how the new sampler will look. A nice bright banana yellow, with luminous green buttons! Go ahead WML "Suprise me".
However it comes, I'm so looking forward to it.
Yep, thinking that again tonight as I was using it. Typography has an unfinished feel in some parts.
It 'lost' some recorded audio again tonight, just as things were starting to go well....
I can put up with the 1990's graphics, but I wish it'd behave.
Man can't argue with teak.
I had a car with a genuine walnut dash at one point @JohnnyGoodyear - until I blew the engine in it. An old Triumph :-)
Never noticed those other things either @syrupcore. Must be the cl-ou-ou-ds in my eyes then ;-)
Decided to get Volcano 2 as well as Timeless 2, these are really interesting plugins, which I think delving deeply into will produce some good results.
I was toying with the idea of getting Cubasis while it was still on sale, but I decided to concentrate on Auria instead.
Those Morevox IR's are tempting too - judging by the 'GoldenGlue' ones I got.
Lastly, it seems I wasn't charged for buying 'Re-Tune' either - good stuff !
