iDensity 2 problem - (fixed with re-install)

I bought this last night and love it - brilliant for soundscapes and weirdness, but there's one major problem - when I record the audio comes out crackly.
I've tried recording the output via Audiobus into Audioshare, into Audioshare directly via IAA, and several times directly in the app itself. Each time there are no other apps open, wifi's off, and I've experimented with volume levels and tried keeping them low in case this was the issue.
Every recording though has crackles all through it, even on the quiet bits, despite the fact it sounded perfectly smooth and clean while recording.
Anyone else notice this?

Works fine for me on Air2
Thanks, what iOS are you on?
I just tested it on my iPhone and it was fine, and then managed a crackle free recording on the iPad by keeping the volume very low and only playing one channel. As soon as I bring in the other channels though the crackles come back - it's like the iPad can't cope with all the audio and gets overloaded. I'll try a hard reboot.
it's working perfectly for me on Air2 8.3. Have you tried with a different set of samples to the ones giving you crackles?
@monzo It's Lupus.
More seriously, I do wonder if, maybe, you have a minor lemon somewhere in your hardware piece. You do seem serially beset with crackles/pops/crashes just a bit more than the average bear. Sorry, not trying to be a Cassandra, just sayin' etc.
Yeah, it seems ok if I cut down the number if channels.
I'm thinking the same thing - the fact it works perfectly on my old phone makes me wonder if this pads got a hardware problem - no idea how I test for that though.
Probably worth a reinstall too etc but expect you've tried that.
I haven't but it's worth a try. Can't reinstall the iOS though as I want to stick with 8.3 for now
Just tested with audiohare (air 1,ios 8.4) and no problems.Just bought Ipulsaret from the same developer and i must say this is also an amazing app and a nice addition to Idensity.
If you have idensity and want to buy Ipulsaret you can better buy the app bundle to save some money and you get Stria for free.Stria now is wortless because the sample import doesnt work but maybe after a new update its fixed and you have one app for free.
yeah great updates for iPulsaret and Stria recently...definitely worth the bundle

Stria is working great for me, it doesn't use audio files for synthesis
Just had a few more attempts and it sounded even worse, even via the built in recorder. Tested Audioshare recording other apps and no problems with those so iPad must be ok, so deleted iDensity and reinstalled. Sounds absolutely fine now, so fingers crossed the reinstall has worked - hope so as I really like this one.
@Carnbot said:
I dont understand much of Stria.Why you can import samples into Stria, but nowhere i can find an option to open them? You can select them but not open them.I thought the developer just forgot to put the "open sample" in the file manager menu.Strange
@Proto I'm not sure why you can import samples, you can export your recordings so I presume it's just part of the standard apesoft file manager.
Great to hear its working now. Enjoy
Thank you, and thanks for testing. I'll have another go at recording with it tonight, weird noise thread fodder if it works this time.
Still something weird going on with this app - when I first load it into AB the sound comes out the iPad speaker - even though my earphones are plugged in. I have to unplug, then plug them in again to get the sound into them. No other app has ever done this.
Recorded perfectly tonight, looks like reinstalling did the trick. The AB thing is weird though.
Stria now is wortless because the sample import doesnt work but maybe after a new update its fixed and you have one app for free.
There are NO samples in STRIA, it is all synthesis based.
It works as it's supposed to.
Got the headphone problem also with some other apps in the past and i had to restart my ipad to fix it.
Ah really? That's a relief, thought it might just be my device, I've rebooted a few times but hopefully it'll clear at some point.
I've already got iPulsaret but never really got on with that one, think I'll have some fun with iDensity though.
I have these puppies too, and for some reason haven't gelled with their chosen interface that well. BUT I do keep going back to them, because I feel there's something unique/creative there (especially if I'm ever going to make some for the 'weird noise' thread
. What get's your attention about iDensity?
I like this one better as it's less about granular, screetchy synthesis and more about sample bending. It's a bit like Samplr but with four channels visible at once. I like the UI - it means I can change volume, pitch, etc. on all samples at any one time, and I can also manually 'play' or trigger multiple samples at once - unlike Samplr where you have to swap windows. It's similar to Borderlands in that sense, but easier to control than that one. I think it combines the best of Borderlands and Samplr and puts it all on one page.
Just reinstalled Stria and SUPRISE its updated and sounds much better since the last time i tried. Renewed interface and sounds much better.
That's a good one-sentence rec. that they're loved to see on their reviews page
AND sends me back to have another go....thanks.
If it behaves itself I might add that one then! It doesn't have all the controls that Samplr has, but it can certainly provide 'scrubbing', which is probably the most useful, and other features such as repeating a set area can be achieved via the controls (zoom, in this case), plus it's got a few extras such as the dreaded granular thing, and random pitch/length etc. Yeah I like it, definitely a powerful tool for the old weird soundscape box.
Do you have the Apedelay plugin? I'm interested in this one.
I do have it, but it was a Friday night purchase that has been poorly investigated. One of those ones the missus will say "Did you just get that?" and I (butter wouldn't melt etc.) will turn to her from the wardrobe of my iPad and say 'What? This old thing? No love, old as the hills.....'
I am tempted to get this.
I think it also works on IPhone so that's a plus for me.
Let's not talk 4 tracks of iDensity.
On par, iDensity vs iPulsaret, which is more capable? Can iDensity does different things that iPulsaret can not?
I bought iPulsaret2 one week ago. And wondering?
I wouldn't bother if you're not getting the IAP, being able to play 4 tracks at once is the thing.
Thanks, Monzo. Borderlands should catch up the race!
