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.

My new song, "Souvenir"!
It was recorded and mixed using Auria Pro. I played a Minyard Martinez classical guitar for the samba guitar and the guitar theme/solos/harmonics, and a fender precision for the bass line. The guitar was recorded using a MXL condenser through the Apogee Duet into Auria, and the bass was plugged directly in the line input, and then processed with PSP's channel strip plug-ins (in fact, everything got at least a hi-pass from the channel strip). The synth theme was made with FF Twin 2, and the strings and woodwinds with SampleTank. The percussion were all loops I have, except for the Surdo, which I played and mic'ed with the built-in mic of an Apogee One (yes, I have the One and the Duet). I inserted Saturn in the master FX, and after finishing the mixing, I opened the bounced .wav in another project, where I applied ProQ2, ProMB and ProL for pseudomastering. Hope you enjoy!
Dimitri.

A nice happy little track there and lovely chord changes too.
Good stuff!
Thank you, @LeeB!
Very nice. It's got the rhythm of a Dimitri tune.
Thank you, @High5denied!
Lovely.
Maintains your high standard of quality work.
Nice work, sir!
Thank you so much, @Jeff!
EDIT: the percussion (except for the surdo, which I played live mic'ing with the built-in mic of my One) was not made of loops - instead, it was programmed with DPP's "Batucada" kit. Since I always bounce everything to Audio, I simply forgot how I did it. But I found out in the earliest version of the project, and so I give the deserved mention to this great app, and still the best sounding drum of iOS, which is Drum Perfect Pro.
Really dug all those jazzy chords very cool.
Thank you, @hacked_to_pieces!
In fact, I just found out I didn't use my Fender Precision bass in this one, but a cheaper, Brazilian built bass I also have. Condor, the name of the brand. Not very good electronics, but I found out its fretboard more comfortable to play samba basslines.
Nice
Thank you, @RedSkyLullaby!
A nine beat samba! (Dancers beware! Ha ha) Wow! Liked it a lot. Great guitar playing. The only thing I didn't care much for was the sound of the lead synth at the beginning and end.
Thank you very much, @Kirth_Gersen_ !!!
Awesome tune. Great job on the solos.
