My go to for ambient fun
I often use this paired with a mic and various sound bath instruments. Or with synth and sampler apps.
To me this isn’t a looper in the traditional sense it’s way more free. If I want a looper proper I’ll use loopy pro.
I love the modes. Recording vocal samples in on the trig mode so that you get rhythmic stuff going can be very inspirational. Pair it with other effects after on loop mode and have it octave or fifth jump paired with a granular app. Slow it down and record in reverse.
I would like new features though :
Option to start recording on transport
Clickless loops.
Waveform showing graphically on the board.
Is “Snap speed” the ability to allow modulation to jump to 100/50/25 etc speeds and to be able to flip it in reverse precisely to a speed? If that’s there I haven’t worked it out.
Thanks !

Fantastic sound experience
Just love the sound that come of it and how close is it to actually play with a real tape machine.
Need to be add as an effect as Auv3 plugin.

i love it, but max loop lenth is too short
great creative FX-looper, i enjoy playing with it. the only downside is the maximum loop lenth of 45 seconds , i would prefer 90 seconds in HiFi-mode for long evolving ambient tracks. also i would love to have the possibility to sync with host and to start/stop with host. especially when you use more than one gauss.

Bram is…read below
The uncrowned King of this Kingdom! All hail the King! On your knees Daug!
There’s only a couple of devs I respect even more than my own life,
Bram is one. Respect.

Outstanding
There is nothing in the AuV3 or VST worlds that even comes close to emulating analog tape loops in digital realm. Boldly, I believe it is the best digital tape loop instrument available.
It’s great but missing one vital feature
Super creative looper, easy to use and works like a charm. Just one thing stops it from being perfect, well two. First up why can’t you sync the playback to your daw or host playback? If I have 2 or 3 loops I really want them to start and stop at the same time but Gauss doesn’t seem to allow that. It’s the one thing that stops me from using it. It would also be a bonus if you could trim your loop but that’s not a biggie, just would be a nice feature.

One missing feature would make this a 5/5
Gauss is an incredible plug-in. You should definitely buy it.
But…
Why isn’t monitoring on by default?? Multiple online reviews have mentioned how annoying it is to have to switch it on every time you want to use the plugin. On should be the default behaviour.
Other than that, this is just awesome.

Not really a field recorder
This app is a briefly engaging toy in the studio, but utterly useless in its stated role as a “field recorder” as it does not record in standalone mode. Whether there is a trick to making it do so I do not know, as the manual is completely silent on the actual recording process, and all the YouTube demos show it being used in the studio in one DAW or another.
The wait for an iOS field recorder goes on…

Great for iphone
awesome little lofi effects sampler that mimics tape. pretty neat
Spontaneous creativity
I love Gauss. Easy to use and unexpected sound creations.
On thing I don’t understand is, you added two options to sync with the host. The trigger sync option and the delay but not the start / stop function. Or maybe I did not get something… 🤔

Lacking AU3 save and export
Gauss is an endlessly fascinating app. Wonderful for ambient composition, and sound track effects, but also capable of adding uniquely twisted sound to more melodic works. With a little awkward effort. Sadly, when placed in an FX slot under AUM for recording, there is no audio threshold setting and no way to save or export anything recorded. Other apps that occupy the AUM FX slot, such as the vastly more complex Loopy Pro, can record and export with ease. So why not Gauss?

Very useful sample manipulator
I'm still using this a lot, thanks for keeping it up to date and compatible with iOS
Huge update
Sample import makes this already great app 10x as great.
iPad too?
i paid and installed it on my iphone and then went to install on my iPad and Apple is asking me to purchase again!
Response from developer
Hi, you can safely install it on your iPad. It’s an annoying App Store bug that it tells you to pay again, but when you proceed it will explain that you already own it (Apple, please fix that!). Please update your 2-star rating.
Importing could be way better.
Does it’s job but I can’t upload original sound files.
Creative options!
So much you can do with this!
Great Looper
Awesome Looper but I saw that it should also be possible to layer loops which isn’t the case on iPhone.
If there is a possibility to do it on iPhone as well it would be even better!

Great functionnality but UI can ne imprimes
Nice app however hardly usable on iPhone small screen.
Even if we authorise iCloud saving, the recordings are not accessible on other devices (sharing between iPhone, iPad, Mac…)
We have no idea and no control on recording settings (sample rate, bits….)
Finally an optional auv3 slot on output to add a reverb or other effect on standalone mode would be great.
Otherwise this is a great app very useful and nicely designed to be used on an iPad

iCloudDrive Problem
Soweit gefällt es mir sehr gut, aber obwohl als Speicherort iCloudDrive ausgewählt ist, sind die gespeicherten Dateien vom iPhone auf dem iPad nicht sichtbar und können somit nicht geladen werden.
Es wird auch nicht automatisch auf iCloudDrive gespeichert, das funktioniert nur über den Share-Button.
In meinem Fall, ist das sehr ärgerlich!

Cool app - UI uselessly small on iPhone
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.

Response from developer
Hi! Thanks for the review! The size of the UI is dictated by the minimum size Apple recommends for Audio Unit AUv3 plugins (so they can be run inside host apps like Garageband and Cubasis or AUM with room left for the host to provide a sequencer or a mixer etc).
