Thanks, I’ll take a look. I’m going to check out Modstep as I hadn’t realised it was universal too and I’ve seen a few mentions of it in this thread.

lots of cool music coming up
you’ve got lots of great gear in there already
it’s really a portable studio

I tried using modstep as my host and sequencer all-in-one. Seemed buggy. Just FYI.

Can anyone compare Fabfilter to ToneBoosters? The latter is universal and a fraction of FabFilter prices.

#628

Interesting - it looked like the perfect solution for that so I definitely need to bear that in mind. I don’t know of much else that would do the same thing, but maybe I need to look further into the apps I already have to see if the solution is literally there under my nose. Perhaps Beatmaker 3 could be the answer. I originally dismissed it as too MPC-like for my needs, but that was possibly short-sighted as I’ve no idea how well it works with MIDI and external applications.

I’ve used the Toneboosters reverb and have looked at the others. They are good, but I strongly prefer the FabFilter plugs. Toneboosters offer good sound and some features the FabFilters don’t, like LFO for many reverb settings. But the features the Fabs offer are exactly the ones I want, they are very easy to use/understand, the docs and tutorials are top notch, they are much easier to gain stage, and I prefer both the sound and UI.
The Pro-R makes it very easy to adjust both reverb eq and reflection decay time. This was not easy (or really possible in the same way) on the Toneboosters. This fx is less like a traditional reverb and more like a “space-maker” plug-in. It really creates an atmosphere.
The Pro-Q3 offers dynamic eq. I use this a lot to bring up voices. It also offers stereo, surround and mid-side processing. I love this plug.
All this may depend on my particular use case. The FabFilters are the primary fx for my Eurorack, send/received through an ES-8. For this use, the FF gain staging is especially helpful. I also use them to process my field recordings, where I’m starting to play with mid/side. If my studio lived mostly in the ipad, I’d probably be more content with the ToneBoosters.
You probably can’t make a bad choice.

An Anker 7-port powered hub and a dongle (two ins: one for connectivity, the other for power) have resuscitated my beautiful old Edirol UA-25EX as my audio interface for my iPad (Mini 2). Now I’m easily recording guitar chords to Koala and sequencing them, and attaching multiple MIDI controllers. Worked out of the box(es).

Do we have a decent tremolo in the auv3 world? Surely I can map some rozetta lfo’s to an audio level fader in aum, but something more immediate would be handy.

Eventide has Rotary Mod, a leslie emulation. It’s been on my list but I’ve been away from iOS production for a while.

thanks, but I need a simple tremolo with a ramp down waveform for modulation and a couple of others) Rotary Mod is too specific to leslie.

In the vst world I’m (mis)using tremolo plugins to break droning notes and textures into rhytmic notes.

Maybe Perforator by Bram Bos is what you’re looking for. You can CC map it to all kinds of sorts too

yep, even better! Great features and live-friendly ui.

#636

Wavefolder might have some features for you. I second Perforator as well, but I use Wavefolder more often.

Hello, asking for help again - I need an auv3 delay that goes up to 10 seconds or above, for a sound-on-sound looping live setup.

I have the Kosmonaut, but there’s no option to mute the dry signal, so its useless as a send effect, which is how I approach this. Yaled is awesome, too, but there’s no normal, not reversed mode. Please help!

#638

I think Enso from AudioDamage might fit your needs here. Advertises up to 5 mins of loop/delay time

I have Enso, but its a looper, not a delay, which means it produces clicks on the loop point, unlike a long delay, which layers the incoming sounds smoothly and seamlessly.

#640

I use Ostinator for SoS.

ApeMatrix is the host I use most often, and being a matrix mixer it allows you to use the wet signal only if you so choose.

#642

yeah, but what if the plugin itself outputs a mix of dry and wet, and there’s no changing that?

#643

Whoops, never noticed that Kosmonaut doesn’t have a wet/dry mix. I have a bunch of delays but I don’t know if any of them go over 10 seconds.
