Full Version: Pasted clips are broken and mixdown does not work
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hi,

unfortunately, it is no exaggeration when I write about "countless errors".

Just two of the countless errors:

1. iFretless Bass clips copied and pasted are broken. The workaround is to repeat and move iFretless Bass clips.

2. mixdown does not work, the workaround is to record the output via Audiobus with AUM.

A screenshot of the mini test project is attached. So far, everything has only been recorded on the iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (3rd generation) MTFR2FD/A A1876, iPadOS 17.5.1 without MIDI and audio interface, not mixed, only monitored via the internal speakers.

For comparison, a WAV file of the audio output recorded with AUM and another one of a broken mixdown are uploaded here:

Is there an error message when mixing down?
No, the mixdown finishes without a message. The issue always happens when https://apps.apple.com/de/app/heavy-bras...10?l=en-GB starts playing for a mixdown. Heavy Brass never crashed when not doing a mixdown.
Ok, so if you disable this plug-in, mix-down works? If so, is the Heavy Brass used as an IAA or AUv3?
Hi,

Heavy Brass was used as an audio unit. I replaced it with Korg Module Pro for testing purposes. For the test, I had to move the notes to transpose them by -1 octave. Even when I aligned them to a grid, this caused an offset, so Audio Evolution prompted me to resize the clip. Incidentally, this is one of the countless bugs I haven't explicitly mentioned before. After I did this, I had to correct the offset. Later, it took minutes to reset the loop makers, another of those countless bugs. On my iPad, Audio Evolution is more or less unusable because of all the bugs. However, the mixdown works when replacing Heavy Brass.

Ok, let's take point 1:
"iFretless Bass clips copied and pasted are broken. The workaround is to repeat and move iFretless Bass clips"

We added an instrument track, chose iFretless (AU) as instrument, entered the piano roll and entered 4 notes. In the arranger screen, we trimmed the clip such that it is exactly 1 bar encompassing the 4 notes. Then we chose Copy and pasted it twice further down the track. The copies are made correctly and it plays fine. Can you please explain the steps to reproduce the issue and tell us what is exactly broken?

Moving on to point 2, we selected 'Mix-down project' and imported the audio file. The mix-down contained glitches. Inserting a small delay of a millisecond in the render callback 'corrected' it, which would indicate an issue in iFretless since replacing the AU with another does not cause the issue. We will contact the author of iFretless.

Although changing the offset will not change offsets by itself, we have identified an issue that when you select a number of events (by Select all for instance), you could move events outside of the clip at the left, so they would get a negative offset. We will solve this issue.

Please elaborate on the loop markers issue.
Hi,

sometimes I can't move the loop makers, even not after resetting the loop markers.

You need to really play it. With hammer-ons, pull-offs, two or more strings polyphony.
