  • Thanks everyone, I have taken the leap and can confirm everything works fine for me on iPad Pro (2018) using ios16.5.1 👍
  • Great thankyou both!
  • Anyone using NS2 on ios16 yet? I still haven’t upgraded my iPad Pro from iOS 15 but the time is running out…. Just wondering if anyone is already using iOS 16 with no NS2 problems? Cheers
  • @anickt Thanks for your feedback and the cool video link :+1:
  • @boomer and @dendy - thanks for listening and for your kind words! @dendy : I do have a bunch of stuff on bandcamp : patricksoul.bandcamp.com I also found you and followed you at 'Ray Subject' ;-) I've just set up a discount code for all you BlipInteractives here on the forum: type in 'blip90' for 90% off…
  • @Cray23 cheers! The 'real-played' drums don't arrive until about 1:23 but I can't remember if the preview on Spotify includes a clip from the middle of the tune, I think it does, so yeah, maybe. For sure the toms are me having some fun with the e-kit :) But of course they are just midi notes and the actual tom sounds are…
  • Bergschrund on Apple Music
  • Just for reference I'm linking to the 'final' version I uploaded to Spotify as the Soundcloud link is no longer valid. All comments and feedback still always warmly welcomed :-) I think, based on this thread, that this one became this track on Spotify: Herbology ( I think, I posted that wrongly on another thread,…
  • Just for reference I'm linking to the 'final' version I uploaded to Spotify as the Soundcloud link is no longer valid. All comments and feedback still always warmly welcomed :-) https://open.spotify.com/album/65c6bjogeLoUISWYFxXIMz oh now I'm not sure if it was this track or another - I'm trying to replace broken…
  • @fourways and everyone else here : I don't have the magic keyboard so I can't confirm this, but you might have success with the iPad Switch Control hack, as I have had with some MIDI controllers - see full thread here:…
  • I would add that there is automation of the built-in FX, just not of external AU ones. You can also automate volume, pan and many many of the Obsidian parameters. This confused me for a while too. So if you just want to automate a filter sweep for example, you can do it with the Internal FX or the synth settings :) As much…
  • Hi again - no need to reply to my previous question - I got an X touch Compact B) and have been able to do some stuff with it successfully ( listed in this thread : https://www.blipinteractive.co.uk/community/index.php?p=/discussion/2575/question-about-transport-control-and-external-midi-controllers#latest) cheers
  • Update : after getting a Behringer X-Touch Compact for xmas =) B) , here's my report about what I've been able to achieve (and not achieve) with it in NS2: Mapping faders and pan pots : yes, for 16 tracks Using the above Switch Control hack to use the following control buttons: Play - stop - record - loop on/off(a more…
  • Hi there - as far as I understand it, you can still run NS1 on your computer (free download), so if you still have your old project files somewhere, you can import those and continue to work on them. I made a backup of all my NS1 projects to my Mac before moving onto iOS devices that couldn’t run NS1, and I’ve been able to…
  • PS It's pretty fiddly to get the custom gesture right but you only have to do it once and then you have the recipe for ever ;-)
  • oh wow IT WORKS! After some trial and error and a few tweaks I have successfully controlled the transport (play/stop) using my MIDI controller keyboard. Here are the additional problems/solutions I met after looking at the instructions on @MisplacedDevelopment 's link above. Problems: 1. at first, I couldn't add more than…
  • @MisplacedDevelopment Thanks so much for the link! I got all excited as this is exactly the kind of thing I do like to spend hours on. unfortunately I couldn’t get it to work with my Roland MIDI controller yet. I can ‘see’ the controller through the accessibility settings and assign the gesture and all that stuff, but it…
  • Hey @Winnecke I would be super interested to hear more about this and maybe see a picture of your setup. I’m looking at budget mixing controllers (very budget... ;) ) and I hesitate to buy anything because I mostly use NS2 rather than other DAWs and I know the mapping possibilities are a bit limited there (still love NS2…
  • Heeeey @Stiksi that is actually excellent news as I will now NOT spend hours and hours trying to make it work ;) B) =) Thanks for the quick reply! I'm still open to hearing from anyone about what else can or can't be mapped - just curious how much I can use my external controller and what for.
  • @TakkAtakk totally awesome info - thanks a million! Yeah I have a feeling the CD of software plus samples (including jet plane) which I used nearly 20 years ago actually came on a Cd from a computer music magazine.... :sunglasses:
  • @anickt great tip, thankyou!
  • @Will thanks for the tips
  • @TakkAtakk Thanks for this excellent tip, I will try it out ! I suppose if you want a volume change only in a chorus, for example, that goes into the automation. If you find something is just too loud or too quiet overall, that is done with the fader. But an overall volume change would then affect and change the level in…
  • Thanks both, this is a technique I read about on this forum a while back and haven’t yet incorporated into my workflow. But it sounds like a really great technique. Thanks everyone!
  • Hi all - firstly sorry for the delay in replying! Thanks so much for your thoughts and suggestions on this - really helpful! I had been half-aware that there is a difference between 'track automation' and 'mixer automation' but not exactly sure about what goes where and how they might be different. @number37 and @Stiksi -…
  • just to clarify - my post might have sounded more anti-apple than I intended. I love their products, but I also would like fairer treatment from them to freelance developers. I am certainly very happy to pay through apple apps subscription, if that works best for Matt. But if there are other ways for Matt to get a higher…
  • I would just like to add my voice to the crowd of those who would be more than happy to throw more money at Matt. I paid just $20 for NS2 two years ago, and that just doesn't seem fair to him, given how much joy and fun I have had with it. I don't have any pressing personal need for additional features (eg audio), but I…
  • @Stiksi Thanks so much for your responses. In case anyone finds this topic interesting (and also for my own brain), here is a summary of what I ended up doing: Bass track was a group of two bass synth sounds, already with an automated effect chain including filters following the song arrangement, and sidechain compression.…
  • This is actually something I started to try out yesterday, so it's good to know I am starting to think like a pro.... ;-) I understand the first part but not sure exactly what you mean by 'volume matched' - you just mean that I have to manually balance the two tracks (source track and send/effected track) using their…
  • I have to agree with @LeeB here. Give it a bit of time and play around a lot, read around on this amazing forum for tips and tricks, and make a bunch of new things just as ‘learning projects’. I was also a long time user and massive fan of NS1 and at first I responded to the changes in NS2 with some reluctance. But now I…
