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.

Nono, @max23! I’m not upset! But the chant of “the rock guitar is dead” is heard wherever there are musicians: even here. The discussion about it is stimulating, I firmly stand in the “rock guitar is NOT dead” field, even though most of my current original work is quite far from it. I’m not berating you - sorry if it looked that way. I just like debating, hehhehe...
Thank you so much!
An interesting concept, that can help put things in perspective, is what they call the galactic year.
While once around the sun is a year for the Earth, and it has done this billions of times, the sun itself (along with our solar system) orbits around the center of our galaxy, once every 225 million solar years. The galactic year is so long that there have only been about 20 of them so far. All of human history is a tiny fraction one galactic year. We do not even know what kind of changes or “seasons” may occur as our sun moves around the galaxy in a galactic year. The universe itself, going back to the Big Bang, is only about 60 galactic years old.
Yeah, I bet someone would joke that the universe is middle aged! But seriously, I considered adding this actually, but then I’d have to make each text panel quicker or each with more text, and both options would contribute for a sub-optimal experience IMO, as also would a longer song to accomotade more info (a seven-minute video is already borderline long for Youtube unless it’s a TED talk or similar). Thank you so much, @Lady_App_titude!
Assuming the strong priors are correct, it must be stressed.
13.7 solar years. But only about 60 galactic years.
An interesting subject, isn't it?
Really?
In fact, the universe has 61.32 galactic years! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_year
with a touch of Stephen Hawking
I’m indeed a huge fan of Stephen Hawking!
Thank you for sharing! Sometimes is too easy to take for granted an inexistent universality of the conventions we use, be it in language, math, music etc.
I agree
This has been irritating me for centuries, especially B A C H as the dux of his fugue.
But if Americans go decimal, how could they then know that 250 pounds is overweight
Hahaha! But the British are on par. They’re weighing things in “Stones”
SIRI tells me I’m 11,81 stone???
I bet it was introduced as a unit to honour to Mick Jagger
Thanks for this. I adore pondering the vastness of the universe, and your very cool soundtrack fits beautifully; although my rock and roll ears are easily distracted by your musical complexity. Jokes aside, wonderful work, sir.
Thank you so much, @supanorton! I appreciate it!
