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.

I'm glad it works for you, but put me in the firm camp of long-term disappointment, here. I bought it long ago, and it worked sporadically until the last year or so and then it was largely abandoned (i understand the dev's other projects are more lucrative, i'm sure). If I'd have bought studiomux this year, it would absolutely be my worst plugin of the year, as opposed to one of the most disappointing ones i've ever paid for, since it had so much promise, only to end in complete and utter dismay. The server won't even load on my rock solid win10 pro pc (absolutely anything and everything else i've ever used has never had a problem).
As for the other things I've purchased.... well.. i haven't even gotten around to using all of them. Like Spacecraft. Opened it once, said "huh... guess i'll figure it out someday" and then haven't gone back. Yet. So ask me again next year
EDIT: OK, I can say that my worst purchases are the ones I would totally have made but couldn't, because the developers didn't release a universal app. Quite a sad list, actually.
hahaha I did ponder starting a Best near miss of 2018...Apps you're glad you didn't buy...but then thought better of it
Can't recall any 2018 worst purchases for me. But in the long run it would be iMPC, iMPC for iPhone and iMPC Pro
Just couldn't get along with them at all...
Such a shame that you can't seem to get it to work. When working, it's great. I don't do anything on ios these days without it being streamed directly into Ableton via Studiomux .
One small point though, and we have discussed this before, ( and just for the record!) Studiomux was completely updated just over twelve months ago, so hardly "abandoned", and yes they have been working hard on other stuff, but surely, that's a good thing?
Anyway, here's hoping 2019 brings you huge inspiration & the muse is kind!
P.S. Get Spacecraft out and play with it, you owe it to yourself!
I know right 😂😂😂😂.
None. I am thankful for and impressed by each and every purchase I’ve made. No lie.
It is completely true, nothing to do with your "sarcasm" you acted like a total idiot and Matt had to apologise for you, now you think it is fun to disrespect people who pointed out you acted like an idiot, sad behaviour again.
Maybe, abandonware
The upside of bad apps is - they make us realize the value and worth of the good ones
and how fortunate it is for the good ones to exist and also for us to own them on our devices 
If every app was good, that would be a total confusion and chaos
I shy away from apps that don't have the basic essentials for my workflow - Legato, Glide, Vibrato and AU.
Every synth/FX worth its salt should support these.
Where did he disrespect people who pointed out you acted like an idiot? He apologized if he upset anyone.
This whole “NS2 beta team bash” is getting old. I could do the same for a couple other apps and their beta guys here, but it’s kinda pointless. People like what they like and will defend it. If they compare it to other things they’ve used, then it’s an opinion, which this forum is full of. Everything should be taken with a grain of salt on a forum regardless. If someone calls your baby ugly and they are wrong about actual functionallity and not an opinion, then a “sorry, that’s not how it works. It works like this, blah blah blah” will suffice and move on. Somebody saying “this works waaaaay better than that” is an opinion. So what? This witch hunt is tiresome.
Any ‘worst’ thread is always going to go south, cause bickering, and end up offending. Always.
I'm not sure what the criticism is but, if you care about such things, sarcasm is risky with people you don't know. Some members of forums like this are going to be very sensitive, even looking for a reason to be insulted. I wouldn't call them drama queens, because that would be insensitive of me.
If I got it right, you volunteered to beta-test an app? You contributed to its availability, to its stability, and for the benefit of many happily using the app today? You hang out on forums helping people and answering their questions? If so, I'd just like to say, thank you.
@gusgranite if i don't feel offended in any way, then it isn't really offending, i suppose
@drez let it be
doesn't matter 
I’m talking about the thread. I would rather see constructive criticism given to developers rather than a world’s worst step (I used to love that part of Who’s Line Is It Anyway).
I was the one who raised the NS2 forum being a bit unwelcoming to newcomers initially (it was) but the developer dealt with it and I’m sure it’s been great since.
For me, the Ravenscroft 275 was a huge bummer buy. Probably the most expensive app I’ve ever bought, but my humble iPad Air 1 just can’t handle it. I eventually deleted it to free up space.
Think of it as a future investment. If you upgrade devices it will be waiting for you. It’s actually a very expressive virtual instrument thanks to its sympathetic resonance.
that is strange, it works without issues on my Air 1
I hope you can get a more powerful iPad at some point. RC275 is really great but it pushes the envelope for an iPad app with disk streaming and some great sampling details.
Colossus Gand Piano is even more of a beast requiring the newer iPads to work. Even with a 2GB 2018 iPad I can't record it a DAW... it forces the DAW to crash the AU instrument instance even when running solo.
If that's true look at the settings to reduce CPU use like buffering.
Ping the developer for tips or just refund and revisit when it makes sense for the money spent.
Riffer.
Because it turns out randomness ain’t musical. Probably should have figured that out before purchase, but people said such nice things about it.
Do you think Ravenscroft is the pinnacle of iOS pianos? Seems to be, from what I keep reading on the forum. I think it ranked highest on the poll here, at least for iOS piano apps.
I like Korgs Ivory and Model D in equal measure but yeah the Ravenscroft Piano feels the most natural sounding, least like a sampled instrument. Has more in the bottom end or timbre.
Miroslav and oriental strings. Just genuinely appalling, both. The hype around miroslav vs quality is the biggest cognitive dissonance I’ve come across with an app. Sounds like it’s being played through a blackbirds rectum. Oriental strings... just, wut... western strings, that sound completely western, being played horribly with oafishly blunt attack. Occasionally sounds vaguely reminiscent of a very crude imitation of a Lawrence of Arabia soundtrack or something, that kind of garish sixties film score thing. The pub curry of eastern flavour. We’re te first to go when I needed to clear space
I can completely second that. But I purchased Oriental strings in 17 so it does not qualify. Deleted.
Worst purchase of 18: Sampletank, with Miroslav as an IAP. The UI is extremely annoying for me. I just have no idea how to use it in a productive way or how to have fun with it. Deleted.
Worst purchase of 19 so far: Aphelian. I fell for the hype. It feels like a very well done app, but is completely unsinspiring for me. Won‘t give up on it so quickly, but I really don‘t see where the fun will be coming from.
This thread doesn't live up to its title. Way too civilised.
Fight, fight, fight!
When I saw this post from Matt in the NS forums, I felt too bad about Matt.
When the creator of the one app has to apologize because the betatesters opinions start to bother others users....well, I don’t know what to say.
NS is a gem on iOS, the only app that I use everyday but it’s not perfect and the users encourage to Matt to the follow updates.
Music related there is only iSymphonic and Model D in my account for 2018.
So when Model D is my best 2018 purchase, iSymphonic is the worst. But it‘s good as well. A bit too limited and focused too much on IAP to get what i would like.
Oh man, just 2 apps in a year for music. Saturation strikes. (not counting a few apps i gifted away).
I think this is the main reason why Turnatbalist is so agressive towards you : he is most obviously the 5pinlink from BM3 forum, and he just can't accept contradiction. Everybody knows how he can be harsh with other people.
Don't worry dendy, you've been a great help for everybody discovering NS2, keep it going !
@lovadamusic @Sygma
thanks for kind words guys ! I'm doing my best to help people, it's nice to hear it it appreciated
