Great App, But Crackling And Popping Audio Issues – AUM - Audio Mixer Review

First, let me state that this app is thoughtfully designed and a joy to use. The interface is intuitive and the design brilliant. With this app, I can sit on my floor rather than at a desk and a computer to make music. What is the issue then? There is intermittent popping and crackling in the audio when recording. I recorded a piece with one soft synth and the developer’s delay and reverb plug-in, but the audio is absolutely unusable. This with the CPU only reaching 34%. And this is while using a new iPad Pro 2020. From reading online, I know the developer has contacted Apple. Apparently this is a bug in Core Audio, and Apple has been aware of this since 2018. And here we are in 2020 with no fix. I contacted Apple. They claim it’s an issue with the software. Now from reading online, users had few issues with the software until Apple instituted updates in IOS 11. If you are on older hardware, you should experience few if any issues. And if you think other apps will work, apparently this is happening to many recording and music apps in IOS and iPad IOS. This would STRONGLY suggest that the fault lies with Apple. If you are running hardware with a newer IOS or iPad IOS, I don’t see the point using this app because the audio issues kill any recording. The same crackling happens on the iPhone X too. I would love to give this app five stars, and if these issues are resolved, I will revise my review; after buying this app and $40 in plug-ins, I cannot record clean audio with this app. I hope this gets resolved. I hated saying anything negative about this app.
