Echo Pad Inter-App Audio Tutorial

[HoldernessMedia]

Hello, Echo Pad developer here.

Now that Echo Pad can be used as an Inter-app Audio effect in Auria, here is a short walk through demonstrating Echo Pad used in both channel and Aux send FX. I also posted some tips for Inter-App Audio below, please read these for a smoother experience. These tips apply universally to other IAA apps as well.

Inter-App Audio Tips


Using Auxiliary Sends:
- Inter-app audio apps can only load one instance at a time, so if your host has auxiliary sends you might want to use Echo Pad in an auxiliary channel.
This allows you to apply Echo Pad's effects in parallel, effecting multiple tracks in your mixer by adjusting each track's corresponding Aux send level. This also happens to be a classic mixing technique for delay and reverb effects.

Freeze Tracks:
- To conserve CPU power as well as being able to apply different effects to individual tracks, consider freezing tracks to bounce down the audio in place where available. Auria allows you to freeze tracks with the effects applied.

Use larger buffer sizes when recording while monitoring effects on less powerful iOS devices:
- When using an app such as Auria to record while monitoring through Echo Pad and other IAA effect apps, you should try using a recording buffer size of 512 frames or higher on less powerful devices such as the iPad 2/iPad Mini.
This will minimize chances of audio glitching/stuttering and other problems on older, less powerful devices.

Avoid "stuck" IAA apps and crashes:
- To avoid Echo Pad and other Inter-App Audio apps becoming "stuck" and hidden in the background, please remove them from tracks and close the app completely when you are done using them. This prevents the app from being connected but hidden in the background, which can cause problems and crashes when you try to load the app in another channel or project.

What to do if Echo Pad or another IAA app becomes "stuck" in the background:
- If Echo Pad or any other IAA app becomes stuck and hidden in the background, leaving it unable to connect to a new IAA host or channel, don't panic! Simply take the following steps to fix the issue.

1.) Launch the app directly from it's home screen/folder in iOS by tapping it's icon.

2.) Once the app has come to the foreground, close it, then remove it from the multi-task bar by double tapping the home button, then swiping the app upwards to remove it completely.

3.) You should now be able to load the IAA app in your host.
