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.

True, but also allowed looping to start and end markers. Anything similar here?
It sounds like we shouldn’t attempt to do background audio
Yah BTime is cool. It has pitch/speed change too doesnt it or am I thinking of another?
Havent spent much time in this one but I think it is straight up play.
Just in Firefox using an addon downloader right now... err I mean, I am watching my friend who is.
By the way, here is a great ‘rare samples’ (likely to not be rare) playlist he is pilfering for BM3...
I’d be more interested in this if you could play local videos and could have the video synced to the transport, I could really use this for work.
I do think it’s a potential target for being pulled by YouTube as they might think main audience is probably those who want to breach copyright etc
What? No! I just love youtube so much I want to see four times the ads, all at once, for real.
This sounds like a useful idea for another plugin. When you say local videos, are you referring to the iTunes library or videos in the photos folder or to videos in the files section of iOS?
Also, what is the use case of this for your work?
Yes.
Why limit it to Youtube when there are so many other streaming services out there!?
I’m not sure about the iTunes library but the other two are probably doable.
How about this other plugin lets you set markers on the video and then trigger the location via midi? What if it had looping? ping pong? Etc? Airplay? Background fullscreen record?
Videos on the iPad eg Files apps local folders, not iTunes library.
I do lots of audio visual work so that would be great for experimenting in AUM with edits etc.
2nd app: midi cc to control hue shift etc... ?
Sign me up. Exactly this.
Yes, yes to this
Because making it work on just one of them was difficult. We started out trying to make a full web browser in the audio unit plugin. It worked sometimes but it was so unpredictable; worked on some websites and not others; even on one website it would play some media and not others. We were imagining the nightmare that would be our customer support when we release an app that might or might not work with your website of choice.
Gentlemen, whatever else may transpire with this new friend, let us talk no more of older friends we no longer talk of.
The markers and looping and midi sound doable. Not sure about the airplay and background fullscreen
Ok, I was mainly thinking of ‘sampling web-radio’ but I guess I’ll keep on using ström as IAA for that purpose.
This is a great idea
Looks like we were both replying to @Samu at the same time. See my post about 3 posts up.
This is holy Grail stuff right here.
Hm... web radio is probably doable. But Does it always have the same audio format? The app you are currently using works well for all sites? Sorry I don’t know how web radio works.
Too bad it couldn't loop the video.
Well we could always send midi from one ipad to the other and the other ipad is just fullscreen video and we can use airplay or the screen capture in the OS.
@blue-Mangoo If you brought out a Radio AU that had a similar layout and live streamed the same way Plugin Boutiques Radio works our be first in line at the App Store.
Love the idea of this, but my guess is there will be blocks from yt, so regular tweaks required.
