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 StoreAudiobus is the app that makes the rest of your setup better.
Can anyone get hold of Virsyn?
im having lots of issues using AudioLayer In Cubasis.it keeps crashing.
when it does the preset disappears.if I chose a new preset,and do some edit,tap on Undo,the previous preset come back out of no where.
you can notice in minute 1:58 that the presets come back from no where.

I haven't heard back since end of last year. But they did reply saying they had a crash fix that was going to be in an update but not heard anything since then...
Did you try the website?

When I bought ReSlice I had many questions working through a very new experience for me and they couldn’t have been more receptive.
In general I have found the "Undo" button in Cubasis to be more like a gamble between "undo the last recording" and "kill all my IAA connections and/or donk a particular auv3 requiring a restart of the app".
I've just conditioned myself to never touch it now. I wish there was an option to make it inaccessible.
Large sample instruments in DAW's exhibit this behavior when used as AU's. Try using it in the IAA instance or in AudioBus or AUM piping the audio into Cubasis.
This extra bonus level of detail is from the AB Forum FAQ:
Q: Why are IOS DAW's and AUv3's so fragile? Everything crashes around me when I make my projects.
Who tests these Apps we pay so much for? Apple? The Developer? No. It's me!
A: Think of an App as an appliance like these analogous devices:
Most home systems in the use allow up to 15 Amps to be pulled from a plug (power strips can have 8-10 ports) before the line draws too much current and needs to throw the breaker to prevent the wiring from melting due to heat.
2 hair dryers can't use the same power strip but you could use 14 drills (using 2 power strips into a power strip for 19 free ports)
So, thought experiment, using Apps:
1. iSymphony Strings 10 Amps
2. Perfect Piano 7 Amps
3. Tiny Pianos .3 Amps
Try using iSymphony Strings and the Perfect Piano at the same time. They crash the DAW (10 + 7 = 17 Amps. BREAKER)
Use 2 Pianos without issue but probably little else at 14 Amps
Switch to 30 Tiny Pianos... 9 Amps.
"Now why does the Perfect Piano I paid $50 for crash in my DAW and the $5 Tiny Piano work? Doesn't Apple test this crap? I want my money back."
Apple tests the breakers for AU's at 340MB - they try to help. I'm only considering one resource in my analogy. Most DAW's show CPU use but few show RAM and the interplay between RAM and CPU is exactly what the DAW is managing for you to create.
So, most DAW on IOS complaints are due to resource limits. More RAM and faster CPU's provide more resources and Apple appears to be raising the AU resource limits for newer iPads since they have 4GB's. The big dog has 6GB for $2000.
It's not a problem with IOS. It's just a boundary condition on a mobile device. Just seek a compromise with the Apps you love (understand their needs) and try not to throw the breakers and ruin your work with outages. It is a challenge worth the effort.
There are many rules to live by but these are my top 3:
Now many get upset and say "Raise the 340MB limit" which might be OK on the latest iPad Pros since they have "thicker" wiring to avoid fires but it would create sonic mayhem on the older iPads that can't manage that much RAM processing and would output sonic noises that have incomplete processed sound samples.
thanks for the reply
Hi there.i just did
Hi there.thanks for the reply.will try and get them on their site
Dam.thanks for taking your time to explain the situation.i really appreciate it.im on iPad Pro 10.5 with 4 GB ram.i tired using like 7/8 model 15 in GarageBand and had no issues no cracks.but if you try to use more that 3 in other daws,it starts braking down,is there something Apple has implemented in GB that other developers haven’t?
I feel your pain😂😂 imagine working on a project you tap undo or delete a track and you whole project disappears .check this video out.i was working with Cubasis and AudioLayer.deleted and AudioLayer track,Cubasis crashed.i relaunched Cubasis and puff project disappears and is no where to be found.i sent a copy to Lars.hope they find a fix coz its has happen like 3 times this month
Did you get the "Optimizing Performance" message? That's when Garageband quietly 'freezes' your channels and stop realtime rendering of those channels (essentially freeing up CPU 'headroom').
Interesting point.i just did the test.after 6 instances of Model 15, i added a 7th and the optimizing massage popped up.but 6 is still impressive.all running the same midi event but different presets
I emailed them last week about one of their demo instruments not playing the sample on a couple of notes. No reply yet.
