Energy XT iOS 2011-10-15T19:46:03+00:00 Hello, this has got to be a joke, no? Seriously, I couldn't even be bothered to register on the support page (that's why I'm venting off here). It seems as if absolutely *no* musician has been involved in the development and testing of the iOS version. It's simply not useable for *anything*. And I really mean it! First and most of all: The latency you get when using the internal keyboard and/or drum pads is absolutely inacceptable. I'm already getting seasick by trying to play something as stupid as plain quarter notes at 80 BPM in realtime. There's no settings menu, either - where one could probably chose a lower latency setting (even if that meant some more CPU useage). In addition, there seems to be a HUGE serious problem with record offsets - in other words, the recorded sounds aren't placed either at the position when you actually tapped the key/pad nor at the position when the sound actually made it to your ears (after felt 8 seconds of latency...). This is true for audio, too. Audio recording without monitoring? Are you goddamn serious? I mean, in the manual the use of headphones is recommended to avoid feedback and unwanted "re-recordings" of the playback. Fine. But how in the world do I listen to my guitar when wearing a pair of closed HD 25s? Right, I just don't. Great. File exchange and SF import with your PC only via dropbox? Are you like completely crazy? What about roaming expenses once I'm in a foreign country? iTunes has a drag'n'drop option for supported filetypes since several versions - why can't you use that? Or at least a local WiFi im-/export, such as others do? Not even remotely something like an easy mixer. Err, right, how convenient. Then there's countless other issues, such as recorded takes (that I already deleted from the arrange page) magically appearing once I record something onto another track. Bottomline: YUCK, 5,49 € completely wasted. In fact not all that much money, but I'd rather buy me a sixpack of beer for that money instead of even trying to open the iOS version ever again (unless there's gonna be a more than serious update). Apparently the developers and testers had more than just one sixpack during development, too...

I assume it must be pretty difficult to achieve bug-free code on such an open platform as iOS is.

"Preamps have literally one job: when you turn up the gain, it gets louder." Jamcat, talking about presmp-emulation plugins.

I'm assuming that's a joke...

If it was Android I would understand...

Yeah I especially like how on ios you can freely browse through the file system to manage all your audio files. That's why apps like ifunbox are totally obsolete.

Stuck in Aperture Laboratories for a 2nd time!
