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.

iOS 13 and Cubasis 3 working fine on my 6s and also on Air 2
Hi @ipadmusic,
Is it possible that you have other apps (e.g. Cubasis 2) running at the same time as Cubasis 3?
The performance should be fine on iPad Pro 1 (use the same device, 12.9“ 1st Gen).
May give the iPad a restart?!
Best
Lars
I have been a "loyal" Nike customer since the 90's. Last Spring I bought a new pair of basketball sneakers which cost just a bit more than the price of Cubasis 3. About a month ago I had to buy a new pair of the same sneakers to play basketball indoors because the pair I bought in the Spring were worn. Cubasis 3 will last me years and cost less than a pair of sneakers. If Nike isn't obligated to "reward" repeat customers why is Steinberg? Someone please explain to me why the two companies should have different financial goals.
Re: auria: you are misinterpreting what I wrote about Auria's MIDI editing. The timeline's numeric display when using Bars/Beats to display the time has a granularity of 480 ppq NOT THE GRID! The grid is sample level. It is just that if you are looking at the bar/beat readout, the numeric readout isn't sample level -- but you can move the events by 1-sample increments if you want. That is an important distinction. There is essentially no grid.
@LFS thanks for replying - closed all other apps, restarted few times already, still having same issues.
@LFS just starting my journey into the abyss on iPhone and wondered if it’s possible to route the audio from track 1 to track 2 and record it?
That would be just about perfect for so many things, like 'burning in' effects when recording (ie. record thru effects).
This would also make sample creation fast and easy, record thru an effects chain, chop em up and load them (preferably using simple drag'n'drop from the arranger) into mini sampler when it regains it's editing capabilities...
Well pointed out
Andy why not feel Cubasis ‘Because I’m worth it!’...?
for reference, I don’t have a huge need for L’Oréal or Nike !!
Hi @ipadmusic,
Please let me have a few more details:
Thanks
Lars
They are not obligated to do anything but this comparison is inaccurate to say the least.
How can you compare shoes with technology products?
Tech products and especially musical applications in our days are meant and should be updated to be better and stay tuned with the modern times.Nike makes the most of its income with classic shoes.How much sales would Cubasis 1 would have today,considering it’s a classic?
Basically the financial targets are way different and they can’t be compared in any way.
Tech needs to evolve and bring new things in the table to stay alive.A shoe is a shoe that you might wear and tear off in 3 months and I could wear the same shoe for 3 years with no issues.And an older shoe(like the Adidas Stan Smith I love) will easily be my new shoe.Cubase 2 for Mac,can never be my new DAW.
@Lars
This is not working for me. I have 2.8.2 installed. I launch Cubasis 3. A box appears asking if I would like to transfer my Cubasis 2 purchases for free. I select “Transfer”. Cubasis 2 opens, then......nothing. I just spent £48.99. Please advise what I should do.
Would you believe it!
I tried one more time and it bloody worked! Took about 5 goes though.
@LFS
Hi Lars, transfer of purchases went well once Apple made the Cubasis 2 update available...
I’m enjoying the new version very much, thanks again to you and your team for the massive effort involved (not the least of which is working with all of us on this forum)
Question for the future: will the C3 Minisampler at some point include C2’s user kit building feature?
Hello there guys, can someone please check if they having this same issue.
Copy your own midi files into Cubasis 3 midi folder.
Launch the app
Create a midi track and choose an nstrument, built in or Au.
Drag and drop the midi file on to the created track.
Does it go onto the track or creates a new track?
@LFS please give this steps a try
.
sometimes, the old ways are the best.
Glad to read this, thanks for letting us know!
Thank you!
Yes, it is planned to update the MiniSampler with the same features of the CB2 MiniSampler in a free update.
Same goes for the Cubasis 3 Importer.
Best,
Lars
I think I've been having these exact same problems. Laggy, DSP maxes out with just a few instruments (even Classic Machines, just four instances on iPad Pro 2018), and the automation seems wonky, too.
Steinberg should have applied for more beta testers, it seems.
🙄 look, you have to pay to upgrade any software. Even at $50 it’s not nearly as much as upgrading desktop software. Although it routinely goes on a 50% sale.
But you’re saying tech needs to evolve indefinitely for free. That’s not sustainable. It’s perfectly understandable that companies need to find some way to recoup their development costs. The App Store doesn’t provide any mechanism for paid upgrades to a new app. Cubasis 3 is a total rewrite, a new app. IAP upgrades won’t work for that situation.
The only possible accommodation is an app bundle, whereby if you own the previous app you get a discount. I don’t agree that people are entitled to such a discount because they are “loyal” customers. The longer ago I paid for an app, the longer the developers have been working for me for free. That’s the “loyalty” discount IMO.
If I bought it recently though, I’d be bummed for sure. I wouldn’t be crying “unfair” to the developers though. There’s just no App Store mechanism for handling that situation.
So much would be better if there was a way other than subscriptions to handle paid upgrades.
don't mention the S word
Hi @audio_DT,
Please let me have a few more infos:
Thanks
Lars
S***ript**n is the new S**V*x.
I just managed to get Audiobus to send Cubasis to Cubasis and turned off the output of the Audiobus channel in Cubasis 3 and it had the desired effect when recording a solo’ed track...works well for stuff like Pure Acid etc
When it comes to style and fashion,I surely agree.
When it comes to technology I want to agree but it’s not realistic.Especially in music production,it’s only true with hardware.
Software and especially this loophole Apple created with iOS music(while i really love it and believe it fills a big gap in music creation )will always force you to stay updated,even for simply utilizing it.
Sadly the iPads we hold in our hands now won’t run Cubasis 10 years later,because of app compatibility.Many iPads won’t support v3 from this day on because of iOS 13.
Maybe 10 years later there will be no Cubasis,iOS music production or even iPad...
Things move on.Hardware though will always do what it’s made to do.
Correct, from the AppStore view point, they have different app IDs and so, they are separate apps
Unlike tennis shoes.
@Charlesalbert, could you be more specific as to why it is way better than 2? I would love to have a good reason to buy it as version 2 answers all my needs ( or at least I think so). Only a larger and better instrument inventory would get me interested. But I am open!
@LFS, much congratulations to you and your team. In my book you are the best in iOS land. I assume there will be no further updates for version 2 and that this latest is probably just to allow in app transfers. But is there any reason I might have to stop using v2 in the future? The v3 improvements sound great, but my usage of them would be nil, I’m afraid. Sorry to hear you haven’t made a deal with NI to add the Kontakt libraries Now that would hook me! 😩😈
@LFS Congratulations to you and the team on getting to V3. As a moderate Cubasis user it's not immediately clear what dramatic new features this new version will deliver to an ordinary user who already has 2.8.2, BUT I will be upgrading because your many, many upgrades to the current version have earned my trust (as some people are talking in these terms) when it comes to the work I have no doubt the team will be investing in V3 moving forward.
