wavetables ....mmmm yum
Thank you Agent Syrup. Good work.
I have purchased NS1 now - just to help finance the development of NS2 and/or Obsidian.
Decided to give a little more time to NS2 this morning. Somethings I really like, while other things seem a little awkward.
Two quick questions...
1.
On the “Main Mix” track, you can either draw the automation on the fader or throw a “Stereo again” on the Main Mix channel and automate that.
2.
Are you choosing “select” and then drawing a square around the node(s) you want to change?
I'll give those a try. I'm not clear what you mean by "throw a stereo again on the main mix" but I'll have a look.
And, no... I wasn't drawing a square on the nodes. Just hitting "select" then trying to select. That's what I've been doing wrong.
Thanks!
I never automate faders in any DAW. I throw a utility plugin (in the case of NS2, the Stereo Gain native plugin) and automate the volume of that. This way, I can adjust my overall volume of the channel without messing up my volume automation for the channel... I basically keep the two things separate.
I just got this recently in the sale and am thoroughly impressed. Can’t believe what you can do with just multiple instances of Obsidian and Slate, and the sound quality is really nice to my ears. The LFO assigning is fun and intuitive, hell the whole thing is so intuitive I haven’t looked at a manual yet. I’m gonna make so much with this app
Really funny to hear. I've always done that in any DAW too, and I was always baffled why this isn't absolutely built-in standard functionality. That's why my own in-development DAW has a separate "Gain offset" controller per channel just for that
@Gaia.Tree: It's worth mentioning (with any intended offense) there's a great NS 2 forum to develop

Careful! You’ll be accused of “ridiculous, over-the-top hype” later.
Genius!!! I’ve been doing it since Reason 1.0 haha
Awesome! I really miss the clip gain automation available in Pro Tools (I guess it’s a standard for vocal tracks pre-processing). The only workaround I found in Auria Pro is to automate the EQ gain in the channel strip, but it shouldn’t be that way.
What about the per-clip gain in Auria Pro?
Hi @espiegel123
It’s not the same as the “clip” gain in ProTools (the name they chose is not actually representative of its function). In ProTools you can automate it drawing a curve, usually for adjusting an audio track previous to compression, eq, etc. You can edit it any time later since it’s a non destructive procedure. It’s exactly the same you would do in Auria Pro with any automation parameter.
The clip gain in Auria Pro would require that you split the audio track in as many clips as different levels you need, and you can’t draw any curve, it’s the gain of the whole clip. You could also select any audio portion and use the Gain function in the Process menu too, but it’s not a reversible process, you are actually modifying the audio track gain in that audio selection.
That’s why I use the EqOutput parameter in the channel strip, you can freely draw an automation curve over the audio track, but as you know, it requires that you turn the channel strip EQ on.
@Rodolfo :thanks for the clarification
@Rodolfo did you see that matt is adding sustain pedal to the next update?
Yeah, to quote whole update-related part of Matt's message:

@drez @dendy
Wow! That’s really good news. Thank you for the heads up.
That's good to hear, another thing which puts me off using it currently is the non pro optimised display.
@Rodolfo : Are you finding yourself spending more time in Auria Pro or NS2 these days? Also thanks for that link to Blip. Didn’t know the IAP’s were half price also .
Is the NS2 sale over?
It's still on sale for me (Australia).
It's still on - literally just picked up both Industrial packs
@drez said:
Ah. This will be useful. Thanks.
I really like Nanostudio, it just has a few things that prevent me from using it more. The big ones are automation for Au3 and support for midi Au3. Fix those and I can work around everything else (I realize it lacks audio - but I can work around it, even if it's kind of annoying, using the sampler). And there are a couple of annoyances (Swing - it's kind of annoying if you want to play around with the swing to see how it affects the groove), but that's true of most apps.
However, the attention to detail on this thing is insane. Whenever I wonder can you... and the answer is nearly always yes.
And Obsidian - that thing is a workhorse. Just a good, flexible, general purpose synth that's easy to program and is light on CPU.
Yes the lack of realtime swing is a bummer, so few apps support this but it's really essential if you want to actually hear what the swing is doing.
@cian: realtime (sound) feedback during changing quantisation/swing settings is definitely on todolist
for now workaround - after you apply some quantisation/swing, and you're not satisfied, just hit "undo" - it rollbacks last operation - after that go back to "quantiasation" screen and try different settings.. btw. as you move "swing" fader, you can see "shadowed" new note positions in realtime (they are red/green based on their position) - this helps a bit see what will happen after apply.
I know, it's just dumb workaround, it's not perfect - but for me it works - it's solution until sound feedback will be added
I bought NS2 and a few minutes later I found that sustain pedal was not supported. When they confirmed the issue in their forum i just deleted the app. It’s useless for me as it is since I’m a keyboard player. Hope to give it a try after the issue is finally fixed..
I spend my time almost exclusively in Auria Pro (mixing and mastering) and Gadget (song sketching), although I eventually use Cubasis and StageLight for quick sketching with AU synths.
Both of your answers/suggestions worked well. Thanks
