Does it’s job but I can’t upload original sound files.

So much you can do with this!

Really like what this app does. Pretty intuitive and satisfying. But the UI is so irritatingly small that it seems rolling this out on tablets-only would have made more sense. It’s 4 years old so I can only imagine it hasn’t had enough adoption to put time into another UI update. Bummer. Could see this as a bonus auxiliary tool in live sets but not as it is now. Show more

This app is killer as an audio unit in AUM but why is there no simple way to load loops from AudioShare or another method in standalone? If this is some “purist” decision to only serve as a field recorder it’s a bit ridiculous…. Show more

You can finally retire your multi tape speed, overdubbable(? Not multitrack, which is fine) dictaphone. Not that you were ever able to synch sequence a magnetic tape or fine tune how much it warbles or the intensity and speed of fluttering (filter cutoff and modulation) and I have never heard an analog tape machine come to an adjustable speed stop so that it may reverse the direction it was traveling without having the capstan blow and pop off into the air like a Russian tank. Like most of these apps, you don’t need much to get started and messing with the provided preset loops will teach you more hands on than any documentation. I’m sure there is a way to improve this little beast, but at the moment I have been using it mostly standalone for a few months and I can’t think of anything that would add to it. Maybe something that would over-complicate it, but nothing to improve it. Show more

Really creative and inspiring little looper, though the inability to load samples in to it is puzzling. When you click on “load a loop” you see demo loops you can play with, while the “user loops” section is blank. However I don’t see anywhere in the app where you can import sound files. I also tried navigating to the Gauss folder in my iPhone (using the files app) and adding MP3s to the “loop” folder, but that doesn’t make them appear in the app either. Hopefully this is something they add in the future. Show more

This is an absolutely fantastic tape loop emulator. However whenever I plug my phone to an external output, the loops will either no longer play or the control interface just goes blank. Show more

Pretty fun messing with the stock loops and recording simple things with iphone mic. I’d like to be able to import loops and samples, mangle them in Gauss and export them. Please add Audioshare for importing and exporting on the next update! Show more

I like this, but dealing with Apple’s walled garden when getting sounds in/out of my iPad is frustrating. I have a pretty killer recording setup but its all windows, so I have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get the audio onto my setup. This would be a killer VST3 plugin. I could see easily dropping $30 - $40 on this so I can run it in Ableton or Reaper. Imagine having multiple tracks of Gauss simultaneously running! Anyway its a great app its just feels like a toy because of the limitations of Apple’s ecosystem. Show more

I love Gauss it’s such an amazing app... the UI is also very beautiful, cheers on the amazing design in general. I do have one thing to say: I remember when Gauss launched, recording something inside of a host such as AUM and then lowering the tempo, would directly affect the playback speed of the recording. This is no longer the case! Recordings stay at the speed they were originally recorded even if the tempo changes. I can understand this being a personal preference, but I was of the impression that that was the intended behavior wasn’t it? That was fantastic! It made a lot of sense for the tempo to affect playback speed of the Gauss instances. I hope you can re-add this feature at least as an option in the future, I found it to be infinitely convenient so I am quite surprised to see it gone. Hopefully you’ll consider it! ??????✔️ Show more

The only things I would add/change is to have monitoring on in the default state. It’s the only effect that I have that cuts the audio signal by default when added to an audio chain. I would also like to see the ability to trigger recording when pressing play on the host. Show more

Awesome app does everything you want from a looper and has a sequencer - which is super cool. Would like to see more tape years and types - like 1980, 69, wire tape etc and some control over the grunge. And would love an easy access button to where the sessions folder is. Love it! Show more

Thanks Hainbach and friends ! The sequencer/ looper thing is an awesome game changer! Peace Christo?

Very excited to try this one out but find it to be a let down. Perhaps it is suited towards a very narrow range of music style or maybe I haven’t learned how to use it well enough. Show more

Awesome app, only seems to work standalone for me. Already emailed the developer but wondering if anyone has come across this issue or found a fix. I can not get AUM (or Audiobus) to see it. It does not appear as an available AU or in inter app audio(IAA). Works beautifully standalone. Some things I tried/noticed that might help figure this out -I have tried restarting and reinstalling all apps involved (Gauss, AUM, Audiobus). - I have Ruismaker installed and it works fine in AUM -using an iPad 7th Gen and an iPhone 8+ both running iOS 14.2, both have the same issue.

Really opens up a world of new possibilities!

Unique App. I (as with many) I have way too many Apps. Samplers galore. Gauss standing as a super experimental field recorder stands apart from the many create samplers out there. One thing Gauss is sorely missing ( and maybe I missed this option) is the capability to import your own pre recorded samples. Sure one can open it in Aum and route AudioShare to the App, but it would be nice to have an immediate load option to simplify the workflow. Broad midi implementation as well.Btw has anyone seen a tiny orange microdot to the far upper right. Given the sounds emitting from this thing microdot indeed. Show more

One reason I love app on the iPad, are the non conventional ways you can compose music, in a tactile and fun way. Gauss hit the nail on the head with instant sound manipulation at your fingertips, as it you have a physical looper. The interface is ideal for anyone who instantly want to capture audio and become Halim El-Dabh or DeliaDerbyshire for an exploration into tape techniques. Also it works so well with other apps, within Audiobus or AUM as well as external recording of hardware (with iOS interface) Thank you for these tools. - King Britt Show more

*sigh* another 5-star review for a Bram Bos app. I’ll just say the reason I love Gauss so much is its simple elegance. Bram and Heinbach have crafted an instrument that really has just what you need and nothing extraneous. Really quick to dive in when inspiration strikes, and light enough to layer up multiple instances in AUM. Pair it with all your favorite apps, I like Koala Sampler and Kosmonaut. Show more

I’ll buy anything with a Hainbach endorsement and yet again I am not disappointed. There aren’t many functional apps for tapeheads so I am truly psyched about this! I just wanted to *echo* what another reviewer said about adding a visual waveform/sample info to the interface at some stage! Show more
