Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

BM3 handles audio much better than the midi clip launchers (Modstep, IL) and it offers both a linear DAW approach and a scene workflow that you can move back/forth between easily. It's still a work in progress so be aware that there are plenty of annoyances along the way. If you are hoping to capture audio quick and easy, it still takes more steps than the immediacy of Loopy in a live setting. There are still high hopes that the forthcoming Loopy Pro will fill this niche. You might also look at Garage band at it's come a long way...
Thanks for the answer!. I actually don´t need to loop audio live, i´ve got a wonderful Voicelive 3 midi-synced to the iPad for that. I do need to build a rythm, loops, etc (MIDI) live to lay the foundation. Is Beatmaker 3 as fast as Modstep in that aspect?.
I´ve been watching Beatmaker videos and it does seem like a better tool for composition given that it integrates audio. Also the linear timeline makes sense to play over it. I wish there was a limited-time or Beta to try out.
I did try Garageband but if i remember correctly i couldn´t make clips from midi loops. The "record this instrument to audio" I found hard to sync, specially live.
Added a few additional elements via post processing in AUM
Modstep - importing a midi file.
This always positions itself from track 2 on an empty canvas.
Deleting the empty track 1 still means all the imported midi track names are wrong,
Any way/ trick/ workaround to import and start my midi file from track 1 so all are named correctly?
