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.

Glad to hear that!
Make sure to let them know, to make them aware of your request!
I think when we are talking about the smallest fractions of a second, it's a bit much. Each sample in an audio file isn't a wave unto itself.
I'd definitely be interested in the perceptible difference.
I personally wouldn't ever want to edit any piece of audio by hand at the sample rate level, even trying to edit midi by hand at 960 PPQN is pretty gross, but great for capture of midi that is played into the app to be "quantized to", and thus "humanized" much more than those super small PPQNs.
I have iOS 13 installed on my 6s plus, the oldest generation iPhone supported by iOS 13 (I think) and it runs just fine. Headphone jack 4 lyf!
Not tried that but, tbh, I'm having big problems with C3 right now. The automation, which I initially thought, "at last!, at last!", doesn't seem to have resolved the old intermittent behaviour. In addition, the whole thing just seems like a beta right now. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I can't see what. The DSP seems to be crazy for no real reason at all, i.e. not as simply a result of overloading it. I'll stick with it because I'm sure these issues will be resolved in time, but at the moment it's all a bit of a disappointment. I tried the automation and it worked fantastically well for the first try, but after that it's become unusable - like in C2, pretty much. I'll wait to see if others are having the same problems, though, rather than it potentially just me being a numpty.
Quoting myself. Same question
As a long time owner of Cubasis on iOS with all IAP, the ppqn and lack of multiple time signatures changes and tempo changes forced me to stop using it. Now 960ppqn in v3 is a great update but I will wait for time signature/tempo changes before updating. Price is fine at that point.
@LFS
iOS 13 runs very smooth on an iPhone SE and it is installed on 50 % of iDevices so not really a niche at this point
Say if you want you take a groove from a live recording, sample accurate midi editing can allow you to use that groove on other midi instruments. It can make a difference I believe. 😊
This sounds perfect
Which year is your 6s? How many apps do you have on it? Mine is the one released on day one but it has hundreds of kids apps that I need to start cleaning up. Maybe that will improve its speed.
The most exciting features to me are the Undo list and the group channels.
I personally don’t follow though,cause for me the price and the features of v3 are not justified over v2.
Its ok for a new user,it’s not for a Cubasis 2 user.
It looks good for v3 though and really congrats on the team for pulling it off,personally I will stick to what I already have.
Congrats to @LFS and fam. Looks like a fantastic piece of work.
Well I look at the example again of 960 PPQN, at 120bpm, which is 1920 pulses per second.
That is 0.00052083 of a second! That is 1/1920th of a second.
It's hard to believe perfectly aligning to a sample rate of 0.00002803 of a second is noticeably better (48khz).
Maybe one for another topic 🙂 i dont wanna completely hijack Cubasis 3
Is it simple to freeze and flatten AU tracks?
1 click. Done.
Is it possible now to record the audio directly from the output of a midi track triggered by a midi effect ? I mean, without having to freeze a track first!
Nope :-) Smooth like breeze...
i really don't see any reason to not use iOS13 - super stable, even AU plugins are working netter on iOS13 (less memory-related crashes)
@Lfs quick question: if I send a project recorded in 44.4 on iPad over to iPhone which is 48k, will there be syncing problems with the projects’ audio & midi files? (Haven’t tried it yet, it’s a problem on another unnamed DAW)
Just to clarify: this whole conversation started simply because someone asked a question (what PPQN is required to be sample-accurate), so I just answered the question. I never intended to derail the thread with this discussion as to whether such a feature is useful...
IMO Cubasis 3 has all the timeline resolution anyone could need.
However it should also be added that if the audio resolution is the same as the MIDI PPQN then you still can't do sample-accurate audio edits on the timeline - for example trying to loop audio at a zero crossing.
I originally purchased Cubasis LE, then upgraded to Cubasis 2 via IAP, then subsequently bought all the other IAPs. Will the IAPs transfer to Cubasis 3 even though the original product was Cubase LE?
Was answered above, no.
But there will be a C3LE later, IIRC.
Not exactly. That was whether Cubasis LE would transfer to Cubasis 3. However, I own Cubasis 2 (as confirmed by the opening screen), but I arrived at Cubasis 2 from an original Cubasis LE purchase + IAPs.
That's a different scenario.
As far as i understand, you upgraded with IAP.
This is still a C2LE.
Nope. I have been assured that more than once by @LFS. The opening screen even confirms that it is indeed Cubasis 2, not Cubasis LE2 (now). It's a gray area as regards the IAP transfers though.
Thanks for trying to answer the question, but the answer needs to come from @LFS.
Cubasis is what got me into creating music with ipad. We’ve all been spoiled with regular updates. It’s not perfect but no app is perfect. I’ll gladly pay the price knowing I can expect some years of free updates. And btw cubasis has the best MPE support on ios. Keep up to the good work @LFS and the cubasis team.
@LFS Congrats on reaching this MileStone to you and the Team! Will be updating shortly and looking forward to the new features and the road going forward for Cubasis on iOS!
Installed c3 on iPhone and iPad Pro 1.
Works fine on iPhone - I’m super excited to have it on my XSMax
But on iPad it works terribly bad. UI lagging, audio is dropping and midi events are not time accurate (2 tracks, no fx) - it is not even beta quality. While c2 works well on a same device. I’m very disappointed. $50 app should have better quality.
Just one comment more:
If you delete your App and try to install it again, what are you going to install?
1) Cubasis 2
2) Cubasis 2 LE
If 2), its still C2LE!
That IAP is not the same as the "real" C2, sorry.
At least, i am predicting this as the answer from LFS as far as i understood the App Store, Apps and IAP.
