  • @Fruitbat1919 Native instruments sounds are fully authorized to use in the framework of a song or piece of music made by the producer. It is the individual samples themselves that cannot be distributed. That’s what I understood from the user agreement, anyway.
  • The only time I would be careful is with samples from Native Instruments. They specifically state that their samples are not to be redistributed, even if you own a license. One of the reasons that I went away from Maschine is that it was far too restrictive. Not only did you have to be tethered to a computer to use it, but…
  • I’ve thought about this, too, and here’s what I’ve come up with: If you’re trying to sell individual samples from apps that are sample-based, it’s iffy. For example, selling unprocessed kicks, snares, hats from Funkbox. However, if you’re including unprocessed samples in a kit for free use, it’s not the same thing. If your…
  • Do you have AUM? Liljedahl is another developer who is pushing iOS music apps forward. If you have AUM, you can record all kinds of stuff simultaneously. I get that it would be nice to have IAA support in-app, but if you really need you IAA apps and you have no other workaround, I would suggest AUM. It’s pricey, though.…
  • Here’s another way to tag songs that I got from Alexander Zolotov’s app, Virtual Ans: Take a jpeg, turn it into a .wav file using an application like Virtual Ans, then put the .wav file in your song in a few places. Most people won’t even realize it’s there, but when you run the song back through a spectrographic synth…
  • Any thread is good for that. It would also be a good opportunity to tell you that you are one of the App Store developers pushing music making into the future. I love ruismaker noir!😁 Any chance for a Hammerhead re-make?
  • Thanks! Yeah, there is something about that patch that makes it very interesting as a rhythmic accent. The Dubstep Crush patch, as well. I’d like to thank Bill Interactive for the bit crushed kit. Casio sound always makes me smile. What’s really crazy is that I worked on this track for a total of about 2.5 hours. The…
  • I tried to make some techno. Got the mix better, this time. https://soundcloud.com/kleptolia/antibes-evening-16_44-1
  • Man, take some time. There’s enough there right now that we can take a few months to get the hang of it and then start glomming onto the updated features as you roll them out. In the end, this may prove to be a boon to some of us. We can learn the app piece by piece and it won’t seem like such a big curve. Also, when you…
  • Thanks, man. NS2 lends itself to quick work. I haven’t even scratched the surface of its capabilities, either. I usually like to use a lot of samples. Didn’t use any in the stuff I’ve done, yet.
  • No AUs. Used 2 Slate and 9 Obsidian tracks. Used another empty track as an fx bus. (Kind of funny because I saw Matt actually talk about that last night with someone else, calling it overkill. I had already done it in a project, simply because I didn’t know the proper way to mix in the effects. Oh, well.) I had 1…
  • That sounds really nice and even. Perfectly compressed and eq’d.
  • I have a PO-33, so I don’t NEED this feature in NS2, bu I agree it would be beneficial. :p
  • Here’s a feature request, that might be more of a separate app request, by the end: A full tape effect that emulates the tape feature in Teenage Engineering’s OP-1. I have RE-1, which is a great app, but doesn’t really have the full transport controls that the OP-1 does. It’s more just an fx app. I’m talking about a real…
  • I owned Maschine. A couple of times, in fact. Ended up selling it off both times. As powerful as it is, it just wasn’t that fun for me. Maybe that’s related to why I didn’t love BM3 as much as I wanted to. I mean, that app is an iOS music mansion. Remarkably capable. Could be a go-to DAW for many people. And yet, NS2 is…
  • I’ve never owned any of his apps. I’ll have to check out Poison or Groove rider.
  • Anybody ever use Hammerhead? That app was so fun. Blip Interactive, Bram Bos, Alexander Zolotov. All 3 of these guys are my favorite app devs on App Store. Korg and Intua are great, too, but they are companies, not standalones.
  • Never bring an analog knife to a digital gunfight. “Samsonite! I was way off! Knew is started with an s, though...” 😆
  • Yes. My comment was completely off. Thank you for that.
  • Yeah. You’re right. I just completely lost my mind there.
  • Personally, while the fact that GarageBand has screen velocity sensitivity is impressive in concept, I always end up turning it off. It seems like 4 of the notes are way too soft, and then every 5th one or so is full volume. I like your idea of a location-based velocity sensitivity. However, I’ve noticed that the on-screen…
  • There are actually engineers who “push” the mix into the red a little for the sound. Tape saturation could be considered a form of clipping. Compression is also a form of clipping. All overdrive is clipping. What makes the overall difference is how much of the frequency is being clipped and whether the resultant distortion…
  • Elephants eating marula fruit is always a crowd pleaser.
  • Pretty sure they aren’t. But the people who are drawn to the different apps like them for similar reasons, generally. There are exceptions, of course. I’ve owned way too many music apps on iOS. I think the only major music app I haven’t owned is FL Studio. I’m well aware of why I like Nanostudio, and I’ve seen many…
  • I agree that the audio units situation could be considered a bug. It’s a good find. And whether the keyboard typing functionality is a bug or not, I’m sure the dev is glad to be made aware of it. He will likely fix it in time. Or not. If the problem is big enough, or if the weight of problems you mentioned (no per-pad fx,…
  • I think you’re running against 2 currents of resistance here: 1) Nanostudio 2 is an app that a lot of people have been awaiting for a long time, now. They are just happy that it’s finally here and you’re “raining on the parade” so to speak. 2) the “bug” that you have cited could be considered as more of simply a…
  • It’s funny, because I wrote a review on it in the App Store, when I thought I was finally getting the hang of it. Then, Alex added a bunch of features and I realized I had no idea how to use them. That’s when I realized I was in over my head.
  • It is a tracker/sequencer. It’s somewhat reminiscent of Reaktor, by Native instruments. You have various modules that you can connect in whatever combination you want. You can then input notes into the sequencer, which really is remarkably flexible, but not very intuitive. The app is basically the Russian version of…
  • I still have Sunvox on my phone, just out of sentiment and respect for the guy who coded it. Alexander Zolotov has coded some of the most interesting, efficient, and power friendly apps in the App Store. On the other hand, I sadly don’t know hexadecimal math, so getting effects to apply correctly could be challenging....🙃
