  • I have an Arturia MiniLab3 - nice bit of kit but in reality it’s gathering dust now. I also have an M-Audio 61 key controller and a Korg “Plugkey” 5-din midi to Lightning interface for it that works perfectly but - like the MiniLab - it’s gathering dust too. I just prefer to write music now by entering data in the UI and…
  • @AlexY @SlapHappy : Move your ghost notes to the right of your midi clip (beyond the actual length of the midiclip):
  • I do this on every channel. It’s the first thing I do when adding a channel - add a Gain module into the Insert FX chain on that channel. This way I can automate fades on that channel but - say the overall volume of the channel is to high or too low during mixing - I can just change the channel’s mixer fader without having…
  • * Sample timestretching in the sample editor. * Ability to insert space in the timeline at project level (so a space is inserted in all tracks lanes in the project), keeping all track automation in sync as per before the addition of the space * auv3 effect automation (although this is the merest of nice-to-haves) *…
  • Right - I’ve found a crash log for NS2 for the time of the first device crash this morning. More importantly I have found a corresponding crash log for Koala (which was my suspected culprit) with the same timestamp and reporting the same crash ExceptionType (“EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)”) and ExceptionNote (“EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY”) as…
  • Many thanks @anickt and @number37 🙏🙏 Will go and have a look. Cheers 👍
  • Further to the above - I suppose I’ve broken my own golden rule in this project: ie bounce out to wav each element asap and remove that element’s plugin/s from the track/project. Still, being able to access the crash logs and track down which plugin isn’t playing nicely would be good - so if anyone could help I’d…
  • +1 While we’re talking the audio editor - timestretching would be nice to keep things “in house” as it were (although I’m now using Koala auv3 & bouncing the stretched audio to wav so for that it’s no longer the end of the world)
  • Koala is great but I find it has its issues (eg the first note not playing when running NS2’s sequencer - which I repeat DOES NOT OCCUR WITH ANY OTHER SAMPLER THAT I USE IN NS2; or the fact there’s the issue in landscape mode where the midi notes assigned to each pad go a bit nuts and it becomes anyone’s guess what note…
  • @starkfvx : Does it crackle when you do the same thing but using AUM‘s recording function to record your jamming session instead of Audioshare‘s? Check out this video from the awesome Jakob Haq on how to set up AUM to do it (in case it isn’t something you‘re aware you can do): https://youtu.be/qk4HoyrgZOQ If this works ok…
  • Hi Doug - let me know if you are using iPad or (like me) iPhone. If iPad then follow @dendy ’s instruction. If iPhone then unfortunately MidiTools is not available 😢 There is still a way, but it is a little bit more difficult. That said, once it is set up and you have used it once or twice it becomes quite easy. Let me…
  • Do you have a limiter or some other finalizer on your master mix bus? eg TB Barricade, or Barkfilter, or WOOT? They can really really squash your waveform. Also, do you have this setting set on your mixdown: If so, maybe set it to „No“ (especially as you‘ve turned your master mix really low). What you‘re experiencing isn’t…
  • Bugger - I‘ve accidentally deleted my comment! Basically - to recap - I can replicate the issue in NS2 (I had already seen it myself) but the fact that no one on the Audiobus forum has mentioned it (they love Koala on there but their preference is for sequencers other than NS2 - you know, the „audio tracks“ issue 🙄)…
  • I have seen something similar with Koala - ie when NS2 is playing then I have to trigger a sample twice from my midi-clip and it will play on the 2nd trigger. For me it is no problem as I always bounce down whatever I’m playing in Koala to a .wav and load that in to Slate (as Slate is much lighter on cpu). I only really…
  • “Static” (ie noise) could be anything but my first port of call is to use a Stereo Gain on the inserts of each track which I can move up & down the fx chain so as to easily spot if I have any fx plugin outputting too hot in to another and that may be being masked further down the chain by a limiter - this might cause you…

  • OK - I don’t have Synthmaster2 as it is iPad only and I‘m exclusively iPhone, however I have Synthmaster1 so I‘d guess v2 has exposed its parameters to NS2 like v1 has. If you’ve not assigned auv3 synth parameters to NS2‘s macro knobs before then hopefully this will help: So, I‘ve loaded Synthmaster1 in to a NS2 track:…
  • I love Drambo, I really do. I love the fact it allows me to build soundmaking machines and custom effects. The wavetable oscillators are an IAP but are superb - with them it is possible to create your own rudimentary Serum clone (or get close-ish: enough to reproduce many a Serum patch you see on Youtube videos). Many…
  • Ah, yes - that’s a key difference. Many thanks for pointing that out 👍😊🙏
  • This isn’t something I’ve managed to get to work “in the box” (ie with nothing external to NS2 needing to run). That said I haven’t managed it “out the box” either! I am exclusively using iPhone so don’t have access to https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/midi-tools/id1446209019 which may help you out here (or might not). For me,…
  • The big bone of contention for me is that yes the app will continue to work on my current device even if Apple withdraws it from the App Store, but as my employer forces me to take a new device every 2 years will I be able to install NS2 to a new device should the unthinkable come to pass? (I’m lucky that they provide me…
  • NS2 dynamically alters its sample rate to that of the device at the moment NS2 is launched. For example on the iPhone XR if I am playing through the inbuilt speakers then NS2 opens with a sample rate of 48khz. However if I’ve hooked to my monitors via Bluetooth then NS2 will open with a sample rate of 44.1khz.
  • Yes 😊 Add an NS2 Stereo Gain fx plugin as the final fx in the Insert FX of the channel you want to make mono, then click “mono”:
  • . Yes there is 😊 Put an NS2 Stereo Gain fx plugin in the last insert fx slot of the channel you want to make mono, click “mono”:

  • +1 for automating a Stereo Gain insert to do what you want here. NS2 provides so many tools so you can workaround problems in badly designed/implemented 3rd party auV3s 👍
  • The first time I wanted to automate the effect level of Perforator was when I found out you couldn’t in NS2. However after thinking about it I put it on a dedicated Send channel, added a 2nd clean channel, grouped the outs of both and then sent the channel of my soundsource to both send channels. I set the mixer volume of…
  • What parameter do you wish to automate? The only thing I miss in NS2 is auv3 fx automation - however in all but 1 of my cases I have always found a work-around with how NS2 works to achieve what I wanted to do. Maybe we can find you a workaround using how NS2 works right now for what you want to do? Maybe we can’t, but I’m…
