I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned or not but the Senode app is amazing. https://www.senode.org/

My absolute pleasure! It’s a truly incredible app that I use in some capacity on pretty much every track I make on iOS devices. I have to be honest: it’s probably things like this which have saved me from going down the modular wormhole (which is a very appealing prospect!)

This looks fascinating. I’ve somehow never happened upon it before. Does it run within a host app (such as AUM, for example) or outside one?

Whoa I’d never seen Senode before either! Thanks for bringing it up. Spent a few hours with it last night and it’s so much fun!

@petesasqwax - it runs standalone. Audio output shows up in AUM as IAA. I had no problem sending and receiving MIDI between Senode and AUM.

Borderlands and Spacecraft are top-notch for playable, live-input granular. (Currently a beta feature in Spacecraft though)

Glad people got to see it, I think it’s a great app. can create very rich evolving sequences with quite a good degree of control/randomness. Also yes, it integrates well @petesasqwax in many environments.

Fantastic - I’ll dive in this week! I seem to have arrived at a point where I have a few exciting new apps to explore - the other major one being Drum Computer. I’m intrigued to see if they will both play well together.

Wow, thanks for the Drum Computer tip! That’s amazing! I’ve kind of been looking for this, a proper drum synth on the iPad, with a super fun sequencer to boot. I’ve just spent 15 minutes with it but it seems really great.

Took me a while to find the play button :laughing: but they’ve managed to keep it pretty for such a feature packed UI,

I know what you mean - Drum Computer definitely delivers a lot of what I was hoping for in a drum module. That it can do synthesis as well as samples is a massive plus; that it’s an AUv3 is the icing on the cake!

I’m a huge fan of Patterning (/2) but it only being available in AUM as an IAA means that I can only run one instance of it and I’d ideally like to use it for more than just drums.

I haven’t tried yet but if I can run a number or instances of Drum Computer it could be a complete sample sequencing solution (along the lines of a Digitakt, for instance)

My iPad would complain with too many instances of DC. It requires some power.

Hope it’s OK to ask for suggestions, having a hard time navigating the app store :slight_smile:

The soundcard I use with my iPad for casual instagram videos is very quiet on the output. Plus the build-in camera doesn’t seem to support stereo on videos with an external USB soundcard.

Does anyone know of a camera app that

  1. supports recording video with stereo audio
  2. makes it visible which audiosource (mic or usb) it’s recording from
  3. allows normalization of audio after recording
  4. allows some gentle video de-noise filtering

Alternatively I could use filmicpro (ticks 1+2 above) to do the recording, then I would like to know of a video editor that will

  1. allows normalization of audio after recording
  2. allows some gentle video de-noise filtering

In any case I’d prefer something simple and “not-too-expensive” :slight_smile:

Filmic Pro is pretty darn good. I use it sometimes. Probably worth trying.

I edit on the desktop (Final Cut X), but LumaFusion is supposed to be capable and well-designed. I don’t know whether it has a one-tap normalize option, but it has a relatively extensive audio feature set.

FWIW, my solution to stereo recording has been to record the music straight to my DAW, then marry the audio back to the video in FCX using the clip sync feature. (That assumes the iPhone/iPad is recording some scratch audio track along with the video, of course.)

Thanks for the inputs!

As mentioned I already use Filmic Pro, it’s a huge step up from the build in camera app. LumaFusion seems a bit steep on the price tag for my use. I already have an automatic tool chain in place on the desktop, I was just hoping to keep everything on the iPad, but maybe things are not that simple :slight_smile:

Thanks again for your useful input!

#1389

It’s a multitrack video editing app. For thirty bucks. Characterizing that as “steep” is even more ludicrous than the low price (which is probably unsustainable for the developer).

But yes, things are definitely “not that simple”—with video they never are. File management alone is such a hassle on the iPad that I would not even contemplate trying edit video on it, myself.

Well, ok, that came of wrong!

I’m plenty covered with video editing on the desktop, I have no intention of real video editing on the iPad. I basically just hoped to shave an extra step of, and just need normalization really. If I read your comment on LumaFusion correctly it’s not even 100% it will do normalization in the first place. In that light (I only need one feature, one that might not be there), I think the (probably fair) is a bit too much.

#1391

If you wish to pursue this at all, then your best bet is to simply ask them.

I got Fractal Bits the other day. Reeeealllly cool drum machine-ish app based on fractal algorithms, so there’s something close to four billion sounds to be found within the app - and they all sound great too! From the maker of the excellent SunVox.

If you’re plenty covered with (pro) video software on desktop, LumaFusion might disappoint you. It sure does quite a lot, for being “a tablet app” but if you’re well versed with Final Cut, Resolve or Premiere, you’re gonna run into a workflow and feature wall quickly. Seeing what’s possible for music on iPadOS, I’m a bit puzzled why there’s such a lack of better options for video editing, color correction and composition, especially when you think of the iPad Pro. But then again, maybe it’s because of file management being still a bit of a pita.

Can’t wait to see if Adobe and Apple turning their offering for apple silicon will help this and lead a flurry of professional apps towards the OS.

Just grabbed LumaFX (little sister to LumaFusion), it doesn’t do normalizing but gaining (AFAICT)…

I guess I’m gonna stick with Filmic Pro for recording and my normalization script on the desktop, let’s see how this pairs with my patience :slight_smile:

Setting a random LFO to the transpose (and also lo-fi/overdrive) parameters is an easy way to get even more out of the sounds, especially with the LFO synced to the beat. I use apeMatrix for the task, but Mozaic and/or Rozeta work also.
