Shimmer AUv3 Audio Plugin App Reviews

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.

Awesome. Using to add depth and shimmer to piano and sounds awesome.

What’s not to like?. This is an amazing sounding and highly configurable app. I’m using an iPhone 7+ with iOs 14, and Shimmer works seamlessly for me, in AUM. (I definitely recommend upgrading to iOS 14; you’ll find that things speed up and memory issues and audio dropouts are not prevalent like in iOS 13, which for me was a flop.) There’s a healthy amount of presets. Sound is very smooth. Great editing power. Has XY controls, too! One problem, and perhaps the only one for me in this app, is that when you click on an edit for a parameter, you get to a screen that doesn’t give you a button to return to the main interface.This is easily solved by swiping on the side rails, which gives you all the successive parameter editing areas and back to the main. Otherwise, I don’t know how anybody could possibly give this a bad rap, when they’re probably lazy and have zero understanding of how to explore any new interface. Kudos to the developer for creating this and charging a reasonable price!

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.

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.

Garage Band cannot find this AU.... iPad on IOS 13.3 This 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.

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.

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.

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

Like all 4pockets software apps.... This is very good and a useful addition to ios. Its not quite comparable to various hardware fx imo, but for the price and with some tinkering, you cant beat it and the fx can get quite close.

Beauty. Beautiful app, disappointed that it doesn’t show in Audiobus.. 😕

This one is really great!. This is currently my favorite fx app. It transforms your music to the next level. Highly recommended!
