Cool! Maybe post the results in the Creations section, when you feel ready. It’d be nice to hear the results.

I have not, although it looks interesting. It should be fine as long as you are aware that recording directly from AUv3 apps requires a work-around. If not check out the link below: https://wiki.audiob.us/doku.php?id=auv3_midi_recording_workarounds#nanostudio_2

There were a number of tweaks required for each screen size. I don’t remember the interations, but it may have been that the graphs were added to fill some extra room on the iPad Pro size…? To be honest I rarely look at them. Just an occassional glance at the battery level.

I like the distorted bass - so gritty. Completely agree with the ease of working MIDI notes in NS2. I wish I had NS2 on an iPhone (or iPad) when I was first studying music. That would have been a lot easier than pencil & paper.
-
Interesting observation. So to start with the iPhone, which nobody asked about, that has an Audio CPU graph on the Setting page only due to an effort to keep other pages uncluttered. My iPad Pro has the following Mixer screen: I’m guessing you saw something similar on Doug’s video? My old iPad Air isn’t able to run NS2…

Ah ha! There you go! Thanks ! @TakkAtakk

I think someone posted a workaround for ghost notes a while back. Maybe search for that post. Could have something we wouldn’t think of. Whenever I have done something like this I just moved the reference notes an octave or two out of the way. Not sure if that would work for what you are doing….?

I guess I don’t see the use of MIDI clock without start/stop of the hardware device. It isn’t I situation I ever find myself in though. For me it is just simple MIDI channels in master/slave configuration. So if you have a real world usage that explains this better, I’m all ears.
-
Huh. Good idea. You guys must do way more fades than I do. I just change the mixer fader or it’s automation. In volume automation I would likely select all and raise or lower as necessary during mixing. My method is less sophisticated. I’ll keep the technique in mind and perhaps find a use for it. As usual, more than one…

Yes. Or you can fade in/out individual tracks/parts during a song.

I expect to use NS2 as-is and build my workflow accordingly. Some of the features mentioned here could be nice to have. For me… what dendy said: MIDI clock out would be fun and I wouldn’t mind real time audition of quantization. More useful would be trg-like sample/resample into Slate. However none of these are stopping me…
-
There are a couple of ways. If you want your entire piece to fade in or out you can hit Record and slide the Master Out slider up/down and the changes will be recorded. Another way is to use the Automation Editor and draw the fade in/out. The section of the manual titled ‘Automation Editor’ will cover the basics on that.…

No need. We know.

Sorted. I see NS2 is back in the Appstore.
-
I suspect some BS from Apple is afoot.
-
I doubt switching away from NS2 will be required. I sent a message to Matt and we’ll see how long this takes to get sorted.
-
If you haven’t already see them, there are some patches on Patchstorage.com as well as some great banks made by dendy located here: https://dendy.gumroad.com/

Hey Wyvern! Welcome to the forum. I and most people on this forum agree with your thoughts on NS2. I can’t speak for Blip Interactive but in my opinion NS2 isn’t facing a “dead” status anytime soon. I have no desire to “shoot you down”, but I would note that NS2 was updated to v 2.1.2 about a year ago, and Matt stated he…

Happy New Year to you JWM, and all of the NS2 fans out there. Your EP is another fine example of how so many different styles of music can be created with NS2. Let’s hope 2023 is a good one for all of us.

No. I think Apple was short-sighted in nurturing the app world and should have done things differently, but that’s just like my opinion man. A lot of great apps have come and gone. No one knows if the 15% (instead of 30%) rate from 2007 would have helped some devs make it, but I think I can speculate that it would have…
-
@number37 yes, I have recently become aware that Apple now takes 15% instead of the older 30% (as of Jan 1, 2021), and that is a step in the right direction. Perhaps an additional 15% of sales will make it viable for some devs to continue developing. On the other hand, that extra 15% still wouldn’t compare to developing…

I can see how NS2 might not be an ideal workflow for spontaneous Ambient. Do you record AUM sessions to AudioShare and then build up audio tracks in FLSM? Or do you record right into FLSM audio tracks? I’d think such a thread might be of interest if there was some comment on your FLSM workflow and what you feel is lacking…
-
I briefly tried FLSM many years ago. I’ll have to give it another look to see how audio is handled. I assume it is faster/more intuitive for you than using audio in Slate?
-
@anickt I agree with your metaphor and do hope for Audio Tracks one day. I’m just curious about your normal workflow. What are you recording to audio tracks in FLSM? AUv3 instrument tracks or live instruments and vocals?
-
I’m not skilled enough for live production. 😀 I have been impressed by those who can pull that off though. For me it’s NS2-style sequence-based song view composing over many sessions and often months or years of returning to fiddle with things. So… the opposite of live. Dead? Despite that Fluss looks like an interesting…

@starkfvx It must be tricky to come into iOS (during the pandemic?!) and try to figure out all the quirkiness of this platform. I started with music apps on the iPhone 3GS and it was all frustrating until I got NS1. Back then apps couldn’t connect with IAA, MIDI, or AUv3. There was just a copy/paste of audio. And NS1 was…

He seems to be doing well. Working and carrying on with life. I wish him the best.

@jwmmakerofmusic I’ve only barely heard of Fluss. I haven’t bought it and if there was a contest, I am not aware of it. I’m sure I’ll check it out eventually. What about it do you like?
-
@Pumpte I hear what you are saying - it sucks that it can’t be different. We were all so hopefull when NS2 launched. We all wanted so much from the scratchpad that once was NS1. For the record, the iPad & iPhone versions were developed at the same time. The iPad was released first and then iPhone just needed some tweaks &…
