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.

Download on the App Store

Audiobus is the app that makes the rest of your setup better.

We are the champions?

This guy seems to be trying out for Doctor Who, but if his stats are right, then IOS is the current market leader, and seen by Apple as the future.

    Apple under Mr Cook is primarily about making money. So if as suggested Mac sales and Mac software is becoming far less valuable to them, then it makes sense to switch that side of the market to using IOS.

    If that occurs, of course, customers can have all the wonderful apps etc that we enjoy, but with the RAM, storage and connectivity of a laptop or desktop computer. As long a Those Pro Mac apps continue to work, or have alternate forms, then that side of the market is also catered for. Add to this the strong likelyhood of IOS virtual machines becoming possible, and the future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades. B)

    Is it true? Only Apple know for sure. But I sure hope this is where we are headed.

    And how these app will be written on a crappy Mac?

    For sure, Alex. There would be no point in Apple going down this route, if they didn’t think apps could also make the journey without too much pain.

    Who knows, if there is a Mac IOS version, maybe it will come with an App Mode option.

    according to rumours Apple considers to drop the Intel architecture in favour of a customized ARM design (mid time scheduling)
    Intel CPUs only seem powerful because there's no competition. From a technological viewpoint they've never been sophisticated in any particular way.

    We've run a X86 emulation for years in a Mac 'pizza box' on an M68K clocked 16 or 20 MHZ. (an IBM AS400 terminal software that only existed on PC, computer stoneage...)
    Go figure: the emulator machine only had about 1/10 of the Pentium clockrate, but still performed nicely...

    ARMs are also way more energy efficient, so it does make sense.

    Motorola CPU's in the good old days (68000) were always better than intel

    Of course iOS outsells MacOS by a big margin. Typical consumers buy consumer devices. I suppose Apple could eventually abandon the Mac platform altogether, even stop making the computers many of us consider to be actual computers. Or they’ll evolve to accommodate everything with one OS, in which case iOS and some App Store policies have to change significantly. Pro music software developers should continue to produce for whatever hardware the music-industry is buying, as long as they can make good money.

    They may be able to design their custom ARM chips with many cores, but audio usually needs few cores with high single-core performance. I doubt they'll be able to achieve anything better than Intel has to offer now and in the next years in this regard.
    High-end Intel CPUs are expensive, and that might not fit Apple's Mac business model.
