what do you mean?I'm totally cool.To me it it seems that anybody else has currently a much higher temperature than i have
It's all perspective these days...
I know, I was just pulling your leg.
Hyyuuypppppppeeeee
OK. I'm going to drop this idea, right here, right now. I believe this would be a sea change, in terms of live performance.
Incorporating simple camera / barcode functionality into the Audiobus app that plays off of AB state-saving functionality. A deck of (50) cards w/ unique barcodes that have some manner of dry-erase surface for hand-written notes (or just pencil); got a particular arrangement (or even settings on a stand-alone synth / sequencer / etc.? Tap a button that opens a small camera window. Scan a card's barcode, and that state-save is now associated w/ that unique card, which you can then mark up w/ any name / notes you like.
Rescanning the card later basically launches the associated app(s), loads all of your saved-state settings, and even could be incorporated on an app-by-app basis, so that AB proper needn't even be part of the equation. It would basically brand every supporting app w/ "AudioBus" functionality, even if AB itself isn't running.
No drilling down into menus, between songs; just open a STAND-ALONE app, scan, and play.
$11-$15 a deck, right from the AB Site, with options for things like keychain sets of 10, etc.
I think it adds a tactile, creative aspect to an otherwise on-screen world of iOS music creation.
A little sexy branding, a la Teenage Engineering, and they'll be like candy to iOS musicians.
I know I'd buy a deck or two!
I have to say it's an impressive idea, but this has been sort of tried before with IK Multimedias iFinger ring/barcode. Anything that requires the camera to constantly run in third party apps is probably not a good approach either. It drains battery and you'll need additional permission to have access to that ("What, my synth wants to have access to my camera?").
Then there's the aspect of convincing third party devs to have this constantly running in their apps, not just when they're connected to Audiobus. Probably not going to happen. Alternatively it would have to be enabled manually.
All in all a very creative approach, but sadly I don't think there's a chance we're going to be able to do something like that.
Not constantly. Permission once per app, then after the scan, the camera shuts down. No?
Also, like most things, developers will jump on if it's in demand.
I see a live scenario w/ 4-5 pre-selected cards on the table next to the iPad. Tap, scan, play. Not a performance tool that you have to wave around, w/ camera running.
That’s not the plan.
I love new ideas but, sorry to say, that idea has no appeal to me. The whole point of a touch device is to eloquently replace the physical counterparts. A well designed audiobus preset menu (accessed on a remote, second iOS device) will be infinitely better than trying to manage a rolodeck stack of paper cards that you have to scan in front of your camera.
But in the end, thanks for the input. This reminds me how much Audiobus preset management is needed (both for organization and live execution). Hopefully this is part of Thursday's app release. There is a lot of potential there... sets, sequential preset changes, MIDI assigned actions, mmmm can't wait.
Awwww, tapioca.
I've gotta say, I do like your artwork! ;-) And Audiobus Session Deck is a great name
I like it!
Thanks, Cap'n.
Used an app called "Concepts". Like Illustrator for iPad. Really nice.
Oh.... And a stylus. Rotten, third-party accessory!!!
Yeah. So cool
Loved it too.
Thanks, both.
I guess that's a clue to why it seems like a good idea to me. As an artist, the idea of using hand drawn notes to identify moods & styles appeals to me. Indeed, I'll use drawings as notes, when I get a particular musical idea.
Yeh, I see what you mean. In an ideal Audiobus world, it would be cool to have notes and even doodles within each preset, assign your own icon for the preset, etc.
Something we can do already, audio over Bluetooth/wifi with midi?? Bit like sound injector.....
So basically @The_Unflattered instead of opening the preset tray and loading the preset you're suggesting we got the cards out of the pocket, find the one we're looking for and scan it to get a preset? What if the lighting is less than optimal? Cards get dirty and unreadable?...or worse...forget the deck at home and the gig starts in 15mis?
I can't see how 'this would be a sea of change in terms of live performance'.
I like your sketching though!
HUMBUGGERY!!!!
Thanks. Ideally, I can see it being way more intuitive, on the fly. But just like anything else, you need to be somewhat organized about it. If you're digging in your crusty pockets, and pulling out dirty cards, odds are your presets and save files are a mess, too!
Anyway, that's just my perspective. Prep 5 or 6, laid out nicely, and just pull the next one for the next song.
I get why people don't like it. It's a workflow thing, and I'm not wounded by anyone that thinks it wouldn't be ideal for them. The low-light scenario is definitely something I hadn't considered.
All I mean to say is, it'd be fun. For me, anyway. And that's why I do any of it.
Yup. You could forget your iPad, too! Or your cables. I mean, the way I see it, the notes on the card are for organizational purposes, during the creative process. When you're going out live, you would have them stacked, in an order that corresponds to your set, and ready to go. Then, when you're ready to switch up, just draw the top card & scan.
Might not be ideal for people that decide, spontaneously on-stage, what's up next... But most people have a set prepared.
Making AB more like Pokémon,Tamagotchi, and Pogs is so 1996. Maybe there's a way to incorporate Minecraft instead.
Isn't it nice how one can express himself with one word instead of a 100? The only problem is that it is like looking at a subject through a bottle butt. Or maybe the infinite is the other side of the same coin?
It’s Audiobus for Ardiuno! Isn’t it?
I'd settle for 100 words that weren't drenched in abstract esoterica!!
People were laughing @ the iPad as a toy a few years ago; never to have its place in serious music creation.
The DAY they announced the iPad, I blogged about how it would change the face of music.
Hmmm..... there is only a short list of new DAWs coming out.... :-) Beatmaker 3, NanoStudio 2, and FLStudio Mobile 3, Auria Pro, and Cubasis 2--Unless there is one that we don't know about...... I wonder which one it will be..... :-)
8 to 5 says Auria Pro.
As the man once said: Infinity and eternity have never been good friends despite what the papers say.
Regarding beer bottle butts, as you might have guessed I did spend a number of years looking for some kind of something through the bottom of those, but gave up just about in time...
Got to be Auria!
Bm3 and nano studio are a bigger secret than the secret app!
Cubasis 2, even google comes up with a question mark! :-)
The upcoming Loopy Masterpiece could be considered a DAW and I'm sure Michael would want it to be compatible with the secret app. Cubasis 2 is a real thing?
