That's really handy to know. I've been using AUM a lot recently with my little Novation Launch Control to jam some long evolving ambient stuff with my soundbanks in Mitosynth, Sunrizer and FM Player 2 being driven by Rozeta Particles. I also had a couple of Ruismaker Noirs and a couple of SynthMaster Players in there too being driven by Atom, oh, and an instance of FieldScaper, a few instances of 4Pockets Multitap Delay, and of course a few instances of the now obligatory Blackhole Reverb! Even though I'm on an iPad Pro from 2016, and with a higher latency setting in AUM, I think I had just about reached the loading limit before the crackles and pops started. So it would be more efficient to grab a couple of audio loops of the drums and bass parts and replace the Noirs and SynthMaster Players (along with their associated midi drivers) with those parts from the simple file player. Thanks Mitch and Dean, for an excellent AUM trick! AUM is an endless thing! It can be used in sooooo many different ways!

This is the best video out for making loops in AUM. But one thing that isn't mentioned is to make sure your loops have the same number of beats. Because I was using an imported drum loop there was 3 too many beats in that loop. Maybe that was because it was created at a different BPM. I don't know how it happened but it did. No matter how many times I recorded the loop it just didn't sync up even with the sync button pressed. After you load your file look down in that dialog box and you will see a setting for number of beats in measure; make sure they match. Then it synced perfectly.

Thanks for the info, all AUM needs now is overdubbing capability!

Great tutorial! I’ve not made anything in AUM yet.. It does more than I thought.

You are best professor in AUM and off course beatmaker3. Thank you!

You make me smile 😊

Like your instructions very clear apart from screen which is too small to see the control fonts

Real quick...I’ve been making music exclusively with an iPhone over the last year and a half. It happened by accident when I discovered the apps made by novation/ampify. Over the last year I’ve been finding ways to attempt to make professional sounding music using only my phone. And it’s been extremely tough at times with regulars to mixing and mastering. Stumbling into his video by chance was a pleasant surprise. Your studio set up looks pretty amazing. And today is the first time I’ve heard of AUM and now I’m very excited to check it out. Anyways just wanted to say I’m so glad I found your channel. Amazing stuff. Cheers!

Thanks Dean. It amazes me that people thought of all this stuff while they were creating the app., and now we are all catching up with the possibilities they had already imagined.

I wish a “effect” insert could make a loop on the go. Take the input record loop when a button pressed and send the loop out. Will not fix the cpu problem but could help for creative exploration.

Excellent walkthru, Dean! I love this. AUM is SOOO powerful.

This really opens a lot of doors for me. Thank you for taking the time making this awesome video🤘🤘🤘🤘

Such a useful video. Thanks dean!

I’d already worked out how to record loops of whatever length, simply by returning AUM’s transport to zero and starting the recording there. The ‘sync quantum’ option is a bonus though- thanks for sharing!

Big ups for this vid! The rendering of channels seems obvious but in AUM, the way it’s interface works, it didn’t scream out to me, I was just importing already made loops into it and shoehorning them in (for me anyway) it’s given me some new perspective on this app as I have kinda moved away from it tbh but with this linked into Audiobus, it’s a whole world of creative niceness.

I’d like to add that an excellent pairing to this process is Audio Evolution Mobile as it has excellent beat/measure snapping to allow you to combine/edit etc loops from AUM seemlessly. Often the process you describe doesn’t result in seamless start stop, but by doing some copy/paste in AE, you can make just about any loop seamless

Thanks Dean. I've been using loops recorded in AUM for a while but was not aware of this feature. Thanks!

Love your videos that make me rethink tools I regularly use. You're always thinking outside the box. Nice work, Dean.

Thanks Dean super cool and clear and a big shout to Mitch too!

Informative video. Totally on point with no fluff.

Excellent! With such features AUM becomes more and more the inescapable Swiss knife for iPad music. Thank you for sharing these great tips!

Thanks Dean. Super useful. Cheers. Lee

Wow! Thanks Dean...I wouldn’t have lived long enough to figure that out!

THAT WAS FREAKIN' AWESOME!!! This is exactly what I was trying to figure out!!! I noticed you were using an old iPad Air 2, the one I'm still currently stuck with, and first I thought: hmm, that can't be right for this high tech guy. But I'm having exactly the same problem you were trying to set up: my CPU just can't keep up with my arrangements. What you're doing here, by exporting the tracks to audio, is essentially what you do in Garageband by locking tracks so that the Mac doesn't have to process your effects in real time. The difference is that making an audio loop means you can't do further tweaking of the sound, short of adding additional effects. The method you're showing also solves a problem I can't find a solution to: how to get sequenced instruments to launch at the top of the pattern, right on the downbeat. I guess you can skillfully slide in the instrument perfectly timed, but it would be great if patterns in Riffer or Fugue could be synced up to wait for the next 4 or 8 bars before it starts. Anyway, thanks for this tutorial: it opens up a lot of possibilities.

This was very animated 😁 .. great vid

Super Awesome tutorial. Just what I needed to take my AUM to the next level.

You freaking rock, Dean!! This is the info on looping in aum that I’ve desperately needed. Thx man!!!!

Great tutorial, thanks!

Thanks Dean, this is great to know. Can’t wait to fire up AUM tomorrow and try it out! Right now I’m working with Volca sessions. It’ll be great to capture some of the grooves as loops that I can export/chop/use however I want.

So that's how its done. Thanks Dean and Mitch for this cool tip.🙏✔

Thanks!

Merci pour cette magnifique vidéo 😉😉😉

Excellent stuff. Thanks

I’ve got a similar workflow to yours and this just helped me a lot, thanks 👍🏻

Thanks man. That sync quantum is really useful. 🎧

Awesome! I can’t believe I didn’t know how to do this... thanks for bringing this to my attention Dean! Thanks to the Audio Dabbler as well! I forgot about that guy, I need to subscribe.

Very useful thanks

Thanks Dean and Mitch, greats tip there.

Another great video, Dean!

Awesome stuff, love this app, been using for live performances but this is next level, so many options. thanks

People today are so spoiled. In the 90s I had a Ensoniq Mirage and an EPS 16+. Learned looping the hard way. Saved everything on floppy disk.

Awesome. Cool tricks. Thank you.

ooohhh mannnn... superb video!

Sync (I caught that early 😂 but had to see it thru.). Great job, thanks for sharing. AUM is looking really useful these days.

thanks brother - much appreciated

Really cool stuff! Thanks for those tips, guys :)

Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful. Subscribed!

Love this not ready to use AUM yet but video saved bro Peace

Thx, Dean 👍 What about making your loops in Gadget, export them and import them in AUM😀

As Always & Ever, what an education! Thanks Man I know I am going to use this a lot. Great way to make loops to import in to other places. I am Grateful for the help. Saving this vid for sure!

FYI (in case you weren’t aware) when typing on iPad , double-tap the shift key to get caps lock

Good stuff, Dean👍

Awesome video brother!

Very useful, cheers!

Good shit bro.you are an inspiration

Thanks great tips as always 😁

So I could create a loop in Cubase on my PC using VSTs that are not available on iOS and import the wave into AUM......... AWESOME!

OMG!!!! I couldnt mash that like button quick enough!!! This is amazing man

Finally, someone who's overall "geekery" I can genuinely relate to! Ha! Recently stumbled across an old iPad4 and late 2008 iMac that I want to make noise with. Mostly for acoustic live looping and such. My main workstation is an i7 PC running Reaper. AUM and Quantiloop look like winners to me for the iPad. I've currently got an Orange Omec pedal interface, and MelloAudio MidiCommander foot controller. Wanting something I can busk/open mic night with using my Boss Katana 50. Consider me Liked and Subscribed!

This video changed my life and helped me with understanding the POWER of AUM ! Thanks Dean !

Very helpful. Thank you and Mitch. Are you going to do a video on the SU-700? One of myself favourite machines.

Thanks, really brilliant. Started with AUM last week, it has replaced my entire guitar rig using Bias amp2 and Bias effects 2 (bye bye analogue 😥). I don’t see a usb connect from Novation, are you using Bluetooth?

I'd love to see you and EyeWillCreate do stuff together. Same synth geekery inside I'd say. Peace and you rule!

HEy- I know this video is a little old but it’s fantastic. REALLY big help. I’m curios about the rest of your setup in AUM. What is the Downfilter channel? Is that an audio file? And what are the A/B bus sends going to? Is there a MASTER tracK? Thanks again so great. What a help this was! :)

Hi... great vid. I'm doing it for a while, it's also solving the non auv drum machine problem 😎 But I find that making and exporting loops are easier and more accurate in gadget and cubasis. I wrote to Jonathan asking to make an option of loop recording...still no answer 🤠

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks man,

Cool, if i export loops from Gadget 2 - i could combine them with au3 and efx and many more. Thats very nice.

🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾😎💫

What have I been missing? How long has this app been out? Great tutorial!

It's a fun way to live jam and record it this way. I do this to figure out how I want to structure a song in a daw by experimenting this way. The only thing that drives me nuts is not being able to save a midi controller in AUM.. 😵

These are pretty familiar features of Ableton Live. I had no idea we could do them in AUM.

That’s really a great video. I have a query. How can I trigger loops using launch pad app with click using AUM app ? The main thing is I need to route 2 channels for loops other 2 for cue’s and track. Is it possible ? Thanks

Hi, is it possible to route AUM with IOS video on the IPad Pro rather than the default mic it’s for a DJ set ‘video iPad, Audio DJ mixer? I tried the method of simply connecting the usb cable from the DJ mixer to the iPad which works but the iPad must be choosing the wrong channel as there’s no eq changes or effects present on the recording.

I just saw this video, it's great, thanks! but How do you bounce the whole project into a stereo loop?, like if you have several tracks on AUM and just want to record the "master" bus?? Is there a way to create a "master" bus like in a typical audio mixer?... Hope you can still reply even if it's an old video, cheers!

12:17 When the Bass drops!

Was thinking of using beat maker 3 like the launchpad app however not only would I like to play scenes I would like to use the pad to play the clips like Launchpad Not sure if it’s possible

wow kind of a another Launch pad type but powerful

Hey mate! Why Do you use ipad when you get AKAI Force! 😱 😬

What about recording loop live to merge in something new in your performance? Can you just use loopy or eos

lol, not like I’ve been using the thing for a year calling it the actual letters- AUM= umm. Learned we all shall be - dude from vidya

Maybe its a Canadian thing,

Hi enso plugin can loop in aum but i don’t know if it’s good for processor ?

Ever time I try this with a drum machine it never records the first beat properly then the samples doesn’t loop properly 🤷🏻‍♂️

its A-U-M, “Auhhm” just sounds weird

How old are you?
