    Still waiting UK arrrrrgh the tension haha.

    All the best on C2 day :) @LFS

  • All right, I'll buy it. But this is the last one, OK?

  • Congratulations Lars! You're setting another benchmark on the platform with this one.

  • Brilliant!! Many thanks to all the team behind this! :-)

    Thanks Bram, greatly appreciated. But it isn't me ... it's the team's excellent performance who made it possible!

  • Cool. I've just deleted 3 apps to make room, but I still have one more to decide on deleting. I really need a bigger iPad.

  • Looks brilliant. I'll be happy to buy it, if necessary. But, I thought this was a free update for existing customers?

    They sure did an amazing job. For me the most impressive thing is that you managed to make such a full-featured app feel so sleek and accessible (in terms of workflow).

    Next time I'm near Hamburg I'll buy you guys a beer!

    It is a free update, as Lars has said many times.

  • Hi all,

    Please note that the revised Cubasis 2 product website will launch around noon our time in Germany.
    So it will take a few moments until you're able to see all the new content.

    Thanks,
    Lars

    I love the changes so far

  • Limitations of time-stretch and pitch shift

    The addition of real-time-capable time-stretch and pitch shift featuring zplane’s élastique 3 in Cubasis 2.0 gives you countless options to creatively work with audio files on the fly.

    These new features enable you to easily tempo match audio loops to your song’s tempo in real-time or individually change the keys of your project’s audio tracks.

    Please note that the performance of real-time time-stretch and pitch shift depends on many factors such as the iPad model you use as well as the sample rate, the hardware latency project setting, the number of tracks and instruments and effects used in your project. In addition, using inter-app data streaming technologies such as Audiobus, Audio Unit and Inter-App Audio along with a number of assigned instrument apps has a significant impact on the performance of your iPad.

    Depending on what iPad you use, the number of tracks that contain time-stretch or pitch shift and the complexity of your project, will sooner or later provoke performance limits.

    There are several options to improve performance if you encounter performance limits with time-stretch and pitch shift:

    • Select Setup > Audio > Hardware Latency and choose Medium.
    • For best CPU efficiency select Stretch > Auto > Mobile.
    • For best resulting quality select Stretch > Auto > Pro and freeze individual tracks or the entire project.
    • Use the Freeze function to render tracks into audio tracks.
    • Reduce the number of instrument tracks and effects used in your project.

  • @LFS another huge update, big Thanks to the development team

  • Great update @LFS and team! Really really nice.
    And very well done modernizing the look while keeping the overall feel of the app. I really like the new interface.

    Any more details on this? I'm trying to compare the images on the App Store with images of 1.9 and the changes aren't jumping out at me.

  • Am i imagining things or does it seem more optimised now?

    Freezing tracks feels faster and cpu usage lower when using Micrologue
