With this being such a large update, there will be a lot of bugs for a while, the best thing you can do is keep trying to use it, and report the bugs you find.

2019-02-27 19:25 · 2019-02-27

update in progress

2019-02-27 20:29 · 2019-02-27

Do you need to have the booster in order to have good sound quality

2019-02-27 21:14 · 2019-02-27

YES

2019-02-27 23:39 · 2019-02-27

Ayy I just got back online, and was pleasantly surprised by this. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS!! :D :D

2019-02-27 23:40 · 2019-02-27

No, the booster is only if you have a bad pc

naut · reply
2019-02-27 23:42 · 2019-02-27

that's not right, booster gives you much lower latency and proper hardware acceleration. It doesn't improve on 'audio quality', but even on my proper desktop I still get performance benefits with booster over using the worklet.

My computer cant even run the booster its below a Windows 7 lol

2019-02-28 00:43 · 2019-02-28

woah, thanks for the update!

2019-02-28 01:50 · 2019-02-28

Okay, can someone tell me...
Is it "Audiotool" or "audiotool"?

naut · reply
2019-02-28 01:52 · 2019-02-28

lowercase a in logo and somewhat consistent use of 'audiotool' leads me to believe it's all lowercase

Apollo · reply
2019-02-28 01:56 · 2019-02-28

Literally flips out
This whole time I've been capitalizing it because, you know, proper nouns?
Gah! F- grammar D;

2019-02-28 01:57 · 2019-02-28

opens app just to see new UI
pleasantly satisfied
notices bug
no less satisfied

Apollo · reply
2019-02-28 02:16 · 2019-02-28

WAITAMINUTE
How do you know its a lowercase "a" in the logo?

naut · reply
2019-02-28 02:48 · 2019-02-28

because the logo literally (in every sense of the word) is a lowercase a?

Apollo · reply
2019-02-28 02:51 · 2019-02-28

To my understanding, the audiotool logo is based on a font: Aristas/2.0 (not necessarily specially designed). I think both the lowercase and uppercase letters are the same in that font

naut · reply
2019-02-28 03:13 · 2019-02-28

that doesn't change the fact that the lowercase 'a' as represented in the logo, correlates to the single-story lowercase 'a' of the latin alphabet. I don't see why you'd want to debate that considering the majority of other webfonts does not use the same 'a' for both lower and uppercase.

I never thought I'd have a heated discussion about the letter 'a' at four in the morning on a Thursday lol, I guess only the devs can provide a final answer haha

naut · reply
2019-02-28 03:22 · 2019-02-28

in addition, the full length 'audiotool' logo, has all it's letters in the lowercase variant and position leading me to believe it's all lowercase. Also I checked, Arista 2.0 uses a standard uppercase A :)

Apollo · reply
2019-02-28 03:24 · 2019-02-28

Well done, I guess I stand corrected.
Should I start saying audiotool over Audiotool now?
Who knows

naut · reply
2019-02-28 03:26 · 2019-02-28

I wouldn't care unless it was design related tbh

2019-02-28 04:53 · 2019-02-28

Awesome! Thanks for your work bros!

2019-02-28 06:22 · 2019-02-28

I had the same question recently :) it's "audiotool"

2019-02-28 13:30 · 2019-02-28

Thanks. I assume WebAssembly will be here in early march or so? Don't pull a robtop on us now :D

2019-02-28 13:41 · 2019-02-28

yes i saw. i dont mean to rush i love the new update but my biggest enemy is still at large - lag.

2019-02-28 15:17 · 2019-02-28

"Faster booting time"

2019-02-28 15:34 · 2019-02-28

yah app loading is faster idk about track

2019-02-28 19:52 · 2019-02-28

Interesting. From what I see in the comments, this seems sleeker. I'll be going to check it out.

2019-03-01 03:26 · 2019-03-01

I can't click and drag copies of notes anymore. Does Shift+CTRL not work anymore? It there a new keybind for it?

XSNOW · reply
2019-03-01 03:30 · 2019-03-01

Okay so instead of CTRL+Shift to copy and drag notes or whatever, you now use the standard CTRL+C then CTRL+V to make and paste a copy....That's utterly disgusting. Please change that back to the CRTL+Shift.

XSNOW · reply
2019-03-01 03:31 · 2019-03-01

UPDATE: The CTRL+Shift still works on the Audiotrack device but nothing else. I am shook.

Make an official bug report with your system and browser details included.
Describe the issue(s) in your bug report, you won't get any help here.

Ah true. Thanks @trulsenstad

2019-03-01 03:35 · 2019-03-01

I can copy notes and timeline regions with no issues using CTRL + drag

naut · reply
2019-03-01 03:37 · 2019-03-01

SHIFT + drag up/down adjusts note velocity, CTRL + drag copies selected note. Pressing both CTRL + SHIFT does not work on notes, only on timeline regions to create virtual copies. Are you completely sure you're using the right key combination?

XSNOW · reply
2019-03-01 03:40 · 2019-03-01

well that's new. wish they would've made a disclaimer about that change...

XSNOW · reply
2019-03-01 03:43 · 2019-03-01

Well, I am now. It works fine now that I know about the change.

What change? Almost 8 years here and CTRL+ drag has been a thing.

naut · reply
2019-03-01 20:28 · 2019-03-01

yeah I wasn't sure if this was some mandela effect thing lol. For as far as I can remember, CTRL has been used for copying

This is trash!!! I can't read the numbers on the scale. It won't let me click on patterns to edit them or expand them for more bars!!! This is terrible Audiotool how do you expect us to make beats with this? Please fix or go back to what you had.

2019-03-01 23:04 · 2019-03-01

It's either just trash on the Windows 10 Chrome engine or Adiotool has some major issues.

naut · reply
2019-03-01 23:07 · 2019-03-01

I've had none of these problems so it's not a common issue, make a bug report and calm tf down. Don't whine and shit-talk the devs for trying to improve a free to use platform.

2019-03-02 01:14 · 2019-03-02

i cant lie it looks ugly lol

2019-03-02 02:48 · 2019-03-02

I can't even lie. My BOOTING TIME IS FASTTTT

2019-03-02 19:04 · 2019-03-02

I love the look but the text needs a second size option. I have an ultrawide monitor with a big resoloution set far back on the desk and I have to strain to read text.

naut · reply
2019-03-02 23:03 · 2019-03-02

I can get behind this, text scaling would make a good feature request
