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.

Yeeeeeah. I should press more buttons before asking dumb questions. Thanks.
Thanks for suggestion @wim
Cool, I'll have a look at the wiki.
Basically L7 doesn't have individual outs much like the aforementioned apps.
With those apps the outputs into AUM are interchangeable.
Makes for much more flexible routing and mixing.
For instance I have all of the individual outputs for the loops in
QuantiLoop alongside the main stereo outputs of BM3 or Patterning ii.
I'm using AB2 for Audiobus routing when I need it.
Very useful for that especially with increasing the stability of Auria Pro.
Using AUM I can only get stereo in/out as it's being
recognised as a generator without multiple ports.
Using AB2 I can assign four inputs which I have still yet to test.
For me to get individual ins into L7 using AB2
I've created four pipelines in AB2 for this purpose
Screenshots to follow

Some really nasty bugs here.
iPad Pro 12.9 2018, iOS 13.3
1. Even using clear session button in AB3 And closing IAA manually will end up AB3 crashing when trying to reopen it;
2. Audio recorded in Looper are different from the sound that we played while recording, seems softer,
3. Trying to export loop from AudioKit Looper doesn’t work at all.
I will post a short video later.
what about the actual sound of the metronome, can you choose a custom sound?
Nope.
hmm, maybe a template can be saved then cause if thats the metronome in red sky's video I'd like to change that sound to something like a wood block, rim, or dampened sound
I have a AB3 channel template with Rozeta XOX and RuismakerFM. Whenever I need a metronome I just add that channel, then I enable or disable XOX for the metronome.
@Gravitas : you don't need to set up all those lanes in AB3 if you are using AUM. Just route AUM into L7 and vice versatile in AB3. IN AUM, create lanes for your inputs and route the destination to L7 in AUM. Buses can be handy, too. This is explained on the wiki page and demonstrated in some videos.
i'd only be using it stand alone, I guess sample import would prob work good enough
This is great feedback, thank you.
@espiegel123
Yeah, the moment I did it I realised what I had done.
Thanks for pointing that out.
What I actually need to do is test it on it's own
now that I know it's routing limitations.
@aure Hope it helps. I like what you've created with L7 Looper, but for the time being, because of the above bugs and issues, I can't really use it for any of the music I make. It mostly works, but since it doesn't work all the time like LoopyHD and GroupTheLoop (which are staples for me), it's going to be a curiosity for me. I hope the bugs get resolved...cause you definitely have something really nice in the app.
FWIW, at $3.99 it's a steal, so if you're on the fence, I'd nab it now, cause I'm sure the bugs will be ironed out.
Congrats on the release @aure. Count me in for early support.
I just got it working in AUM in the effects loop after direct consultation with Jonatan. It will be in the next update!
@aure does it have different sections like verse chorus and such?
Ah ok, that changes things - just to confirm - we can put it in the fx slot and record directly into the app, without routing via Audiobus?
Exactly!
Help me understand what you mean. I would say that this is up to how the artist wants to set things up. Do you mean like labels? No, not sure how that would be done elegantly either.
No, but a better sound is on its way. Maybe we'll have some options down the road too.
Aha, good - then you have another sale!
I think he means something along the lines of the Group the Loop app
Please consider adding a mute metronome button in two places:
Doug's vid:
Like this:
From the YouTube demos this seems to be recording in mono. Is that correct?
Does it do MIDI? Where's the manual or user guide? I bought it, poked around, and I can't find any settings menu. What am I missing?
Hey there, would you mind reporting back of it works in AUM please?
Yeah sure - haven’t bought it yet though, waiting to hear back from an earlier question about recording into sections in a track (other thread).
And another. I wanted to support the project, but that beat one accent on the metronome is an icepick in my ears. I'll buy in good faith that's getting remedied.
Okay, poking around in it now. A quick metronome toggle would be great. Even when you slide the volume all the way down it's still audible. That muted speaker icon is taunting me, "YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE MY EAR PIERCING METRONOME FROM HELL!"
