Devices that we recommend running Audiobus on:
- iPad 2
- iPod 5th gen
- iPhone 4s
- iPad mini
- iPad 3 ("The new iPad")
- iPhone 5
- iPad 4 ("The new new iPad with A6 processor")
Here is a performance chart for iOS devices. Should visually confirm just how much more power the dual-core chips have.
Wow. What a leap between iPad 2/3 and the 4th gen. What I like here is that, since I have an iPhone 5, I'll get a clearer picture (as more apps become ABus-compatible, like Sunrizer XS), of what I may expect from an iPad 4, in terms of popping, etc.
In other words, if iPhone 5 can run AB w/ Sunrizer XS + MultiDAW without any hiccups, then I feel more assured about the iPad 4 upgrade delivering smooth sound.
As it stands, my iPad 2 is a'strugglin' w Sunrizer into MultiDAW.
Yeah, the jump in performance with the most recent HW ( IP5 and 4th gen Pad ) is pretty big. I think I'm going to be saving my pennies and upgrading my IP4 to IP5, unlocked. The iPad is a better form factor for the music apps but I can only afford one new iOS device and the IP5 can go with me anywhere and I count on always having an iOS device with me for work/fun.
My iPad 3 is handling audiobus with no problems. I'll probably upgrade to an iPad 5 when it is released though, because I can always use more power.
I want an iPad 6!
I'll wait for the Mini's to get the A6X then I'll upgrade my 16 Gig iPad3 to a 32 or 64 Gig Mini.
Yeah, iPad3 works quite well, but I'm almost out of space!!! (16G)
Will we ever be able to pool the power of our devices? I'd love to combine my iPad 3 and iPhone 5 together to form Devastator!
Funny, I was about to post about how I would hot-glue two ipad 5s together and attach them to a spit (like for pig roasts) so I could spin them around in landscape view.
I have an iPad 2 and like to upgrade to a Mini with A6X processor when they will get....because it's more portable
@Uglykidmoe That's hilarious! You could just put them side by side but instead you'd glue them to a stick?? HAHAHA LMFAO!
Dont live in the future, remember what we had two years ago and you will be very happy with what we have today....
Hello everyone.. I really want to buy this app.. My question is next.. This app works with an ipod touch 4g... I apreciatte to all
Wettiphenax,
Yes, it does work on my iPod Touch 4G. However, it doesn't take much to bog it down. Some input synths are more CPU demanding than others (as well as some patches of some synths) and results in stuttering, skipping notes, distortion, etc. Add a fx insert and the iPod just hangs up most of the time which requires a reboot.
My iPad 3G behaves much better as expected. It is still possible to overload it as well but it takes a bit more to do so.
That said, it is still quite possible to create projects with the iPod. You just have to do in in smaller increments.
Good luck with your choice.
@Ryan it's all about new, innovative workflows ;-)
I've got an iPad 3, and it works pretty well. However I'll be upgrading to a 64GB iPad Mini when it gets the retina display and A6X (which will eventually happen).
Has anyone gave it a try on IP4??? Slowing down is the only problem?
any noticable difference between ipad2 and ipad4 while rocking with audiobus?
i just know that ipad 2 rocks hard
ipad 3 32 gig sounds real good
My iPad 4th gen. (64gb) is super fast. Seems to equal my new MacBook Pro 15" in about every aspect.
Uhhh I have an iPad mini and audiobus is straight garbage on it.. Audio breaks up, app crashes, it's f ing useless.. And yes I close all other applications, reboot my device, change settings, and nothing works... If I have more than two apps running on it it really becomes impossible to use which makes all midi controlled apps rendered useless.. If I try to use soundprism and nlog it sounds like my iPad is having a seizure
