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.

What apps to browse audio on Mac?

Is there an AudioShare-like app for the Mac? I'm using an old Mac again, and the Finder isn't great for previewing clips/songs.

    Also: Soundly, iced audiofinder and Snapper is something a bit different that integrates in Finder and makes it easier to audition.

    How did you use the finder?
    Select all audio files to preview, hit space and browse through the files using the cursor keys. Also works for photos and videos in full screen mode btw.

    ADSR also have a free sample manager tool which is pretty useful: www.adsrsounds.com/product/software/adsr-sample-manager

    @rs2000 Just like you say -- using Quick Look. I love it for images, but I wanted something a bit easier to organize for audio clips.

    These are all good suggestions. I shall test them over the next few days. So far I like Samplism, because the auto-categorization is pretty amazing.

    Also have a look at this classic:

    +1 Iced Audio - AudioFinder

Sounds can even be previewed through your favorite AudioUnits. Speaking of Plug-Ins, AudioFinder features an advanced Plug-In manager and slew of other studio necessities that will make your workflow flow. Necessities like audio editing with built-in beat detection and tools for fast trimming, fading, slicing and dicing your sounds. You can even convert your audio sample CDs into individual files with just a few clicks of the mouse.

    I also use AudioFinder (a lot).

    You can access most of the features without paying, it just limits you to 15 minutes a session, I think, and you can close/reopen the app again.

    I ended up buying it. Great app.

    I'll definitely check out AudioFinder, then. Lots of fans here, it seems!
