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.

    Some of y’all have made it very clear that you have a personal agenda. Beta testers have come here explaining the circumstances without pointing fingers an you are still being petty. Why? Take it PMs or give it a rest. The finger pointing is incredibly tiresome at this point.

    It’s all good I’m stopping. :#

    Luckily, the way my high pass filters are set up...I can easily cut out low frequency.🤐

    Maybe the next update will be something like the above video ;)

    I don’t care about ol WhackAkai, BM3 still blows them away.

    Agreed. Long time Akai MPC user. RIP and good riddance. Besides the fact BM3 can handle most of what that $1k rig can do...it can do it whilst I’m on the beach, train, plane, etc.

    I dunno about that. When I had the mpc live I was making beats everywhere also. I traded it in for the MPCX and now I miss the live. The X I dope don’t get me wrong but not battery powered like the Live.

    I was planning on building a dedicated controller for BM3 that will dock the iPad. So far I got my arduino board, some parts and was going to work on the case design and then I found out about the state of Intua and was put off. Maybe just maybe I might pick it back up.

    No dedicated controllers needed. Check out Velocity Keyboard app. Along with ChordPolyPad I don’t even use midi controllers much anymore. Sold my Morph and Quneo which are also both dope for Bm3. These days I occassional use lightblock M and Nanokeystudio (Map Macros to knobs) but prefer iPad only.

    It’s 2019 😉. Less is WAY more.

    When the dev calls a bug a bug it's a bug. When a dev fixes a bug while simultaneously breaking a feature well that's on the dev.

    Demanding/requesting features would be things like asking for MIDI clock, different save, chord pads related to scale, rework of scenes mode and all the other things that were requested.

    Sorry Hans but your world of logic is just that, your world. Votre monde.

    Truth. And beyond this, any developer worth their salt should be able to walk (fix bugs) and chew bubble gum (add features) at the same time. As someone who not only has been an engineer, but has had to translate engineer-speak into something that customers can understand, I know that any shop that isn't able to accomplish this is gonna be a shop that doesn't have many customers for long.

    I don't know the first thing about app development :lol: . But I agree with Hans that BM3 would have a lot less issues if it wasn't so feature rich. It would also be a lot less resource hungry which makes it difficult to use at a buffer setting that allows accurate playing of the pads.

    Lets wait for August or better yet September cuz we gotta add that buffer.

    Agreed...
    iPadOS will also drop around that time-frame so...
    I'm seriously considering going 100% iOS (11" iPadPro or something like that), super bored of 'managing computers' :D

    DOO EET.

    I'm mostly there on iOS 12; obviously there are a few things that hang it up but I've managed okay so far. I can't wait to see what iPadOS 13 has to offer. It's almost like Apple is listening. First the cheese-grater Mac Pro, now this...!

    Just have to make sure internet banking and stuff like that works as expected with the 'Desktop Safari' on iPadOS.
    So I'll give all that a spin on my Air 2 when it's out of beta and if it rolls I'll be looking at the 11" iPadPro, SmartKeyboard, Apple Pencil etc. etc.

    I have the Bank Of America mobile apps for all my baking needs and it works fine

    It’s ok I can handle a little back n forth these guys don’t scare me :D

    Just by the statements made above I can already tell that i’m Wasting my time with that argument. Anyone who’s involve in development of anything knows Those that don’t understand or claim they understand make wild statements like that. I’m moving in from this. Not worth my time anymore.

    I ain't trying to scare you; it ain't that serious. You don't need to lord your expertise over me or anybody else. Your experience is your experience and mine is mine.

    You said it yourself, no software is bug free, and to that I wholeheartedly agree. But that doesn't mean you shut down on features. Plenty of dev shops are able to both fix bugs and add features. If you don't give the people what they want, they will go somewhere else to get it. This thread is proof.

  • Bm3 made me buy a Live!

    But I don't believe anyone who says they played some pads but now prefers tapping a glass screen. Lol
    I liked to play my classical guitar with chopsticks but now I've got nails o_0

    If Matthew has gone, then I don't blame him tho
    'If the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself' who said that, ah...
    If I had his brains I wouldnt be working for peanuts either. 20quids worth of pleasure, no regrets. I wish them well for all their future endeavours. They seemed like alright blokes to me

    I absolutely hate tapping glass. Luckily I use a Korg PadKontrol ($60 used) which is perfect for BM3 and has better pads than an MPC.

    Yeah throw in some Pro-Q 3 FTW! It is indeed an awesome portable setup. Blows the MPC-500 away for sure and does probably 90% of what the MPC Live and X do.

  • Ya, well you've got to use something. Maybe 10 rubber thimbles
    I like the mpc pads loads. I just like pads :)

  • I'd like to get pro q at some point. Was just showing a friend a YouTube vid on its use earlier today. Don't think he got the eq porn feel (:

    go Doug- go Doug- go Doug...

    how do you automate time signature in bm3?

  • @Dham
    Yep. I was on board from the beginning, so I'm aware of the apps ''ins n outs." (:
    I had few exchanges with Matthew too, that's why I said he seems like a swell fella. But the midi doesn't work properly for me, so now I'm a contented owner of a mpc and an ipad.

    I never actually had that problem unless I had a buncha plugs running with it. I'm using it on a 12.9 Pro, and I was able to push it really hard before things started getting sluggish.

    With regards to feature set, while I mostly agree that BM3 would have fewer problems if it had fewer features, for me at least, the feature set is what kept me coming back to it. I'm looking for a DAW that I can do everything in; currently I sketch in BM3 and finish in Auria Pro, that's not an ideal situation, but it's okay for now. BM3 is probably the closest to the ultimate iOS DAW for me, and without the feature set it has, I'd be looking elsewhere. I think there are only a few additional things it needs to become that ultimate DAW, along with the bug fixes to make it more stable.

    So I hope that Vincent can drop an update in August that actually fixes things, and keeps things working the way they were previously. I won't comment anymore until then.

    I’m very fond of this post lol and what ever that turntable is...Numark is it?👌🏾

  • I'm praying the powers that be let this one through!!!

    but also waiting to get my hands on this one

    I get the feeling the ram difference between the 12.9" and 9.7" pro makes a substantial difference. It's not such a problem, just that switching back and forth between buffer settings is not so easy. I can work at 128 for the most part but apps likeModel 15 and factory need 256.

    I'd trade many of the features just to have basic shit fixed. YMMV.

    Playing with BM3 this morning I wanted to record wiggling the transform function in Bleass reverb from an AUX track to an audio track. Well there is 5 minutes I won't get back :lol:

    Not so sure...what I can do in Djay2 for iPad with loops I make in BM3 is pretty smoov.

  • iOS is still going forward and backward and forward for me, I'm the if it ain't broke then please keep your grubby hands off of it type... devs have been taking out wonderfully important features that worked so well across the board... just the nature of the beast I guess but for example a tiny winy of a feature that was a great time saver in beat maker before that is gone now is the ability to audition samples from your iTunes library before importing them into the app.... now you've got to import into the app first..... with no auditioning to see if it's even what you want, and then audition from the internal browser, decide and import to slicer....... for heavy sample based sessions and after having such a smooth workflow this drives me nuts, on top of that before bm3 came out I begged them not to change this as it was the only app at the time that was able to do this... boo
    but life goes on... slowly

    You’re still here. That’s the important part. We’re all apart of something very special. What a time to be alive.
