(I suggest you not read this post until you've been successful loading synths as AU Instrument tracks from the post above.) An important thing to understand in iOS is the difference between "Standalone / IAA" versions of apps and AUv3 (Audio Unit) versions of apps. When you start a synth outside of NS2 you're starting the…

OK, I don't think we're talking about VST's here, right? VST's are plugins that run on desktop computers, not on iOS. So, I think we're talking about AUv3 virtual synths. I think you have some confusion between "Standalone" (Or usually called IAA) versions of synths and "AUv3" versions of them. When you start a synth…

The original plan was for audio tracks to be IAP. I can't imagine it impacting the app in any negative way even if not. But feel free to worry about it as much as you like. ;)

If you have Audiobus 3 you can easily bridge Link to Midi Clock. Just enable Link in NS2 and AB3 and then set up the sync settings in AB3. You have latency control over each destination as well. If you load NS2 into AB3 you can use AB3's global transport to start everything in sync. AB3's clock is as stable as they come.

Hi @bobheads you're right about Auria Pro's meters. I haven't been in there for awhile and I never noticed it. I suppose it's designed to look like hardware. With analog hardware you would get clipping above 0db so it makes sense to top the meters out there I guess. In a modern DAW, I would call it a design decision more…
-
Welcome to the forum. :) TLDR; version: * having meters that go above 0db is normal for modern DAWs and equipment * Targeting below 0db for all tracks is good practice. * Targeting 0db or below for the master can be critical. * Targeting -14db LUFS for the entire track is generally advised if you will be uploading to…

Zenbeats does have Ableton Link (both tempo and start/stop). It's in the BPM setting dialog.

Your experience and frustration is typical for people coming from desktop to iOS and expecting to have the same capabilities. They either learn to accept the limitations and use iOS for what it's good at and desktop for what it's good at, or they continue to build up frustration. I'm 1,000x more creative and spontaneous on…

Nvm. Deleted.

Not necessarily. Limitation of human resources such as time is a fact too. If your boss demands you to complete 20 hours of work in 8 hours and you worked your hardest all day, is it just “finding excuses” that you didn’t get it done? If you assume the developer has all the time needed to do what you want, and that what…
-
Nah. It just portrays you as petty and immature. Developers are more likely to blow-off unfair and unhelpful reviews and more likely to listen to balanced and constructive criticism. At least I would anyway. But, each to their own. You've the right to express yourself as you wish.
-
Actually, February 2018. But otherwise correct considering it was added prior to NS2's initial release. I've read that going from Link v2 to Link v3 can be a major task. I'm sure even the OP can agree that the promised iPhone version and audio tracks are a far higher priority. While I can't say I'm happy about the slow…
-
Most do by now though. That part of the OP complaint is perfectly valid. His way of expressing it, and especially the one star review for one sub-feature? Not so much IMO.
-
I feel really bad for liking NS2 so much now. Dammit! All those wasted hours slaving away in the stone age. I never dreamed that I was living a nightmare. How could I have been so blind?
-
There's nothing that NS2 can do about this. If synths don't expose their presets to the host then there's no way NS2 can read them. Sunrizer is one such synth. If you load it into another host such as AUM you'll see the same thing. However, most synths like this have their own preset management systems. There's nothing to…

Xequence 2 is the only app on iOS that I know of that has that kind of midi clip re-scaling.
-
Humm ... that's debatable IMO. I would prefer to keep the original creation date myself. If I wanted to have it work the way you describe, I'd save it as a template.
-
Make sure that your audio tracks are sub-tracks of Main Mix. Notice in the screenshot below how on the far left the tracks are indented beneath the light blue of the Main Mix track. This shows that they are sub-tracks. Yours probably look like this: To make them sub tracks, long-press on the track header at the left for…

Thanks @Stanley_V - that's what I was trying to explain earlier. I use this workaround often. I find it has advantages over using MidiFlow. @drcongo - you mentioned using MidiFlow already but that it worked badly. Now I'm wondering if maybe GlitchClips or NS2 is being swapped out of memory. I'm guessing that it's a…
-
My bad. I thought you were talking about GlitchBreaks. Can’t help ya there. All I can say is when I have problems with virtual ports, I usually send them through AudioBus. I set up AB virtual input, which NS2 can talk to, then out from Audiobus to the other app. Sorry for the confusion. (I assume background audio is…
-
Network Session is a specialized and tricky thing. Most apps list it - few actually work with it without an app that does support it facilitating the connection. (MidiFlow doesn't work with it. MidiFire does). Best just to ignore Network Session though.
-
You need to enable Background Audio (BKG Audio) in GlitchBreaks to get the virtual port to show in NS2. I think that's all you'll need.
-
Someone should do a Kickstarter for the worlds first hardware emulation of a retro iOS synth. B)
-
If both devices are Bluetooth LE capable you don't need midimittr any more, you can connect through the Bluetooth midi device dialog.
-
Any information I've shared in this thread is just taken from information in other threads. I'm simply summarizing here.
-
No, I have no information at all. The developer no longer makes promises, probably because of people then complaining when those dates are missed. That was my point. If you're not satisfied with NS2 as-is then you are using the wrong software. Audio tracks will come when they're ready, and that depends on when the…
-
I forgot to mention ... Audio Tracks is expected to be an In-App-Purchase (IAP) ... which is a good thing IMO.
-
Great - I'm glad it was helpful. My only suggestion would be to accept NS2 for what it is now so you don't get frustrated if audio tracks don't come for quite some time. The development timeline on this one is slow (but steady and super high quality). But, you're right, there is plenty there even without audio tracks. NS2…
-
Not dumb at all. Unfortunately, the answer is "no" ... at least not in the traditional sense that most people think of. There are no audio tracks yet, so you can't just lay down audio into the timeline and arrange it there. You can record into either the drum sampler or the Obsidian synth, and use those to play back audio…

Are you playing with the Bassalicious 2 app keyboard or with the NS2 keyboard? NS2 doesn't record MIDI out from AU plugins, so you'll need to use the NS2 keyboard, not the app keyboard.
