User Reviews for Shimmer AUv3 Audio Plugin

Another great app

I have most of the 4Pockets apps. They are very useful. This one is crazy good. Highly recommended!

Not Found

I got Shimmer, couldn’t access it. The suggested video didn’t give any instructions beyond how to access ordinary downloaded AUs. The overview said it would work on my iPad but it won’t open. My iPad is 32-bit. Is that the problem?

Fine reverb, but...

This effect works well with the touch instruments in GarageBand but I purchased it for use with my guitar and that’s where it comes up short. There’s seemingly no way to make it work the way I’d prefer and there doesn’t seem to be any sort of documentation/support. It’s unfortunate because playing around with the piano demonstrates a really flexible, interesting effect that I would really like to use.

Looks and sounds good. No Save!

It looks great, and the fx sounds pretty good too. But UI is a bit heavy on resources makes this iPad (Pro 10”) crackle with just a few apps running. But the 2-stars rating is because this *AUv3* plugin doesn’t have a way to save settings. You can save settings using your DAW, but not inside ShimmerFX so you can’t have a preset list that you would use between apps. There’s a preset list, but it’s only for the ones that come with the app - can’t save yours there. So it’s like a “demo” preset list.Edit2:Just to clarify, the actual fx when active is not that heavy on resources (Zeeon is more heavy, for example). But the UI, (when you open the plugin to tweak controls) is very heavy, one of the heaviest I’ve tried so far, in fact. Similar to RE-1 (which also got a pretty heavy UI when opened).Edit:Thanks for the reply and considering adding the presets! On a PC where people usually use just one DAW (Cubase for me) it wouldn’t matter, because it just does everything. But on iOS there are several DAWs/tools each having sought-after features, yet falling short (or not designed for) others. The beauty of AUv3 is that it can just be seamlessly used between them, whether you want to re-use some preset in new project, or carry over existing project from one place to another. For an actual example, though I’m not much into DAW-less approach, and prefer to always be able to hit Rec and have midi + audio tracks readily available, I just can’t resist using ApeMatrix which is an amazing tool for coming up with sound ideas. You can complete the whole project in it (and many people do this in fact), just like in AUM or AudioBus, but these tools don’t have multitracking and can only record (output) audio files. So I often start projects in ApeMatrix+Xequence, come up with sound/song ideas quickly and then carry them over to Cubasis or Beatmaker (and soon NanoStudio, once it gets audio capability) for further completion. And for this to work, it requires internal presets for each instrument and fx.

Not working correctly

I Love the sounds of this plugin but the pitch-shift/shimmer option is grayed out when I want to use external audio source like my guitar. It says its only available at 44.1-48KHs sample rate but works fine when using the internal sounds like they keyboards and ect. I hope there is a way to fix this so I can use the most important effect with my guitar. I’m also using GarageBand on my iPad.

Made of stars

Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love this plug-in.

Doesn’t work anymore with GarageBand

It won’t recognize anymore by GarageBand. I used to love this AU for my acoustic guitar effect through irig hd2.

App is great, but...

Probably my favorite app right now, but it keeps glitching on Garageband IOS, and the effect keeps gets deleted from all the instruments after a error message pops up. Easy to get the effect back though by tapping power button off and on in the plug-in section where Shimmer is at.

Garage Band cannot find this AU...

iPad on IOS 13.3This AU extension is just not there as far as Garage Band is concerned (GB finds all other AUs).If this is my mistake (how?) then apologies, else this app is worthless. Sorry.

Description

This is an AUv3 compatible effect which must be used as plugin with your favourite DAW such as Cubasis, Meteor, Auria or GarageBand. It supports a modern graphical interface and presets with stereo meters for monitoring signal levels. This shimmer effect is a combination of effects that creates an etherial wall of sound.

The effect combines a digital delay and pitch shifter to create multiple harmonies before entering a rich long reverb with controllable filtering. The resulting effect is a monsterously huge sound adding a spacious atmospheric quality to any lead instrument or vocal. The effect also features many beat synced modulation options with various modes of operation such as your basic pans and vibrato effects but including sweeps and morphing harmonies. Finally to give the effect some real 'shimmer' we've added a harmonic exciter and a sustain section which samples and holds on to the sound to pull out and emphesise the harmonics. The effect presents all the most frequently used controls to the user in a single screen, but each effect has it's own distinct set of controls and a total of 7 pre-configured touch pads allowing easy recording of controller data. This plugin allows complete parameter automation and auto synced modulation to master tempo. This is one of a suite of AUv3 compatible plugins which will also soon be available from 4Pockets.
