    What does Blackhole reverb give you that EOS 2 cannot?

    Size goes to 120 in Blackhole vs. 60 in EOS. 😉

    It’s completely apples vs. oranges but funnily enough, that sums it up nicely at least for my use.

  • As someone who remembers going to work by candlelight I’d prefer not to see a return to the days of big nationalized industries and secondary picketing. Oh and I don’t want to leave the EU either so the Monster Raving Loony party is looking good right about now.

    This is simple.

    Everything.

    Blackhole + Tb Reverb and you have the entire universe of Reverbs in your iPad.

    I've been asking myself the same question and the more I watch videos demoing Blackhole the more I'm lost… In fact, the main Blackhole's exclusive feature I can see is the ribbon thing ; if it can be automatised in say AUM, this can be a real advantage… but, is it the case ?

    No problems at all to automate it in AUM, but you need an LFO like the one in Rozeta, apeMatrix has its own LFO.

    Yes the ribbon can be automated, for this reason it's very easy to set up a simple but deep automation :)

    Do you use it? Worth getting? It doesn't seem to get much love on here, but I've been close to getting it a few times. I'm wondering again!

    The following is just my personal opinion and is biased by decades of using apps like Logic.

    Anyway. Auria Pro has an amazing feature set. I ended up buying the full version as it promised a sampler with EXS support and lots of cool specs.

    However.

    I really can’t recommend it.

    MIDI editing is awful. The piano roll is horrible to use. It can’t loop record. The UI can be unresponsive and glitchy.

    When you add auv3 tracks, every single track responds to MIDI at the same time. As default. You have to go into midi setting every time you add a track and turn off that feature. Every time. Maddening.

    When I have tried to use it to mix audio I keep running into problems and multiple crashes.

    I tried using auv3 MIDI sequencers and the timing is completely off when you record them. And if you add another midi fix it mutes everything else. So for example if I add a rozeta bassline then add a midi monitor, the bassline is muted and nothing will play. Which is just as well as it won’t be in time.

    When you use it for audio you have to zoom in and out all the time to be able to move or edit a region. The regions need to take up half the screen before the tap targets for looping appear. And when you are zoomed in far enough to be able to loop it’s impossible to drag the loop point where you want it because you’re zoomed in too far and lose all sense of position.

    Everything I try ends in frustration. It seems to be designed for people with brains wired differently to mine. But in my humble opinion there are too many features that lack attention to detail

    I won’t be using Auria again. I’m annoyed at myself that I kept trying to get on with if for long enough for the return period to expire. The more I use it the more I realise it’s designed for somebody else.

    I do like Nanostudio 2 and GarageBand and have no problems using either. I’ve used sequencers since the late 80s. so I may just be stuck in my way, but I think on the whole Auria is over ambitious and features got added before others were polished.

    Sorry for the rant. Its lack of love is fully justified I’m afraid. I really want to like it. I wanted to use it. I bought it after all.

    I have deleted it.

    Aww - and this started so well! I'll give it a miss, then. Thank for the heads up - you've just saved me the best part of £25.

    AP may not be the kind of flashy-fancy instant satisfaction fest that is popularised on iOS, but it’s still the most powerful music app on the platform with serious functionality and quality implementations that are still not found anywhere else on the App Store.

    None of the audio work I do in AP is particularly exciting, but it’s certainly my most used app on iOS (even without buying anything from the AP store).

    I don’t even mix on iOS — if you want to mix and master on the platform then there isn’t even a choice to be honest.

    Thanks. I've decided to stick with what I've got for now - which is every other major DAW on iOS bar AP. It's Black Friday and I've just bought KEW. Plan to get a few others, so AP will wait.

    It goes on sale somewhat regularly so if you need some serious machinery for audio editing, mixing or mastering down the road, then you can always pick it up later on. The mixbus and submix functionality with built in channel strips is fantastic for mixing and is a compatible workflow with Harrison Mixbus — a very highly regarded DAW for mixing.

    Blackhole + Tb Reverb and you have the entire universe of Reverbs in your iPad.

    TB Reverb's interface looks complicated. Do the presets handle all the basic reverb needs... then you tweak it from there? I want something that I can slap on a channel and get a nice reverb.... then tweak later, if I want.

    When I watch the Blackhole videos, I can't help but thinking the attraction is the brandname... I don't get it. I wouldn't use the slider.

  • Thanks @Faland and @Carnbot. I use Rozeta, with this ribbon "dancing", Blackhole must be a fantastic tool !… I'm on the "road" to the buy button :smiley:

    Yeah, I've not been using it anywhere near as much as I thought I would do. But maybe if I have a go at some minimal stuff the reverse reverb might work nicely. But I still tend to reach for the FabFilter Pro-R for my reverbs, in the main.

    Yeah but you gotta admit, the music was so much better in the 70s than it is now :p

    I'd rather not see the return of Victorian-style poverty, which is what we're witnessing now. But I won't say another word on politics, because it would not end well. Discussing politics outside of a directly political environment never ends well. Already I'm regretting this post :# .

    Yeah we'll stop the political discussion, but I was being serious about the music! The 70s was definitely the best decade, it had everything from punk to ABBA, funk to Blondie, the Stones' best albums and Neil Young and David Bowie.

    Don't most of the DAWlike apps support sidechaining on native plugins? Or do you mean the Auria exclusive versions of Fabfilter effects for example?

    Do they? Can you sidechain in Cubasis or GarageBand or Gadget?

    But yes, I do mean the Auria Store version of the FabFilter plugins.

    Gadget has sidechain in the mixer IFX. NS2 does sidechain and I presume BM3 does too. I don’t use Cubasis or Garageband at all so I wouldn’t know about those.

    In BM3 it is only the native compressor/limiter/expander that allows sidechaining. Really hope to do AUs one day.

  • I was waiting for Factory and is 9.99. Now I now my weekend with aphelian, factory and pure acid is going to be great. Oh yeah!

    Or you can get Unique for iPhone which runs on iPad too, just a smaller GUI.

    So it looks like FabFilter and Sugar Bytes are only doing Black Friday deals on their desktop offerings this year, and not on their apps, which is a shame.

    SB asssured me in an email yesterday that their iOS apps were on sale too but App Store discounts were delayed in appearing online.

  • DDMF apps going on sale tomorrow. Including the amazing MagicDeathEye compressor

  • You have to exclude 1971 though..... Grandad, Ernie and Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep ?

    Is Egoist worth getting at £17.99? I've had it on my radar for a while, but now it's here, and having just bought Electribe Wave, I'm wondering what do do!

    I would say no. I get much more slicing fun out of the slice randomiser in Blocs Wave- and it’s much cheaper. I have Egoist but hardly ever use it.

  • @BiancaNeve said:

    It's alright if done in a shoegaze style....

    @richardyot Thanks for that longer review of AP!
    Very interesting.

    You did not mention BeatMaker 3, did you also tried this?

    I've only really used the sampler in BM3 (which is excellent), I've never tried sequencing in it.

    @AudioGus said:
    Is it routing / side chaining that makes AP the mixing powerhorse for you?

    Yes. I think Auria might be the only DAW that actually supports sidechaining right now, albeit with the native plugins only. I'm sure that will change and one of the others will figure out AU sidechaining at some point.

    But for routing only NS2 can match it.

    If NS2 nails audio tracks, AU sidechaining and automation then it could really pull ahead of the competition.

    Yah it certainly is the best thing on the horizon right now for this. The routing and lanes was really the biggest surprise when I tried it. I try not to think about how amazing NS2 may become so I can stay focused on my current momentum and not get distracted using it and pining away for the Prince Charming update.

  • No! Some of my favourite music was released in 1971...
    Off the top of my head:
    Miles Davis - Jack Johnson
    Alice Coltrane - Universal Consciousness
    Aretha Franklin - Live at Fillmore
    Pink Floyd - Meddle
    And many of James Brown’s funkiest tunes.

    Anyways vote Audiobus for 2020 or you are a traitor
