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.

Your Favorite Apps of 2021?

  • A lot of similarity in my list:

    Rymdigare
    Other Desert Cities
    Animoog Z
    Zoa
    Snakebud
    Spatializer

    Not sure if ID700 is 2021 or 2020, but if it’s 2021 it’s on the list, too!
    Hammerhead is something I’ve not had chance to play with properly yet, which is why it’s not on the list.

  • edited January 2022

    Loopy Pro
    Animoog Z
    ID700
    Cube Synth Pro

    Hammerhead
    Rymdigare

    Atom 2
    Neon

    I wasn’t sure either. I think it is, I should have added it to my list but I’ve only just purchased, and trying to get my head around it. It sounds great though, and definitely unique.

  • I was thinking… it’s Hard to find a list of all releases by year. I just looked at my iPad, picked favorites, and if it release was questionable I searched on appsliced to see if I could find anything. It won’t give you exact release dates but will usually show you it’s original pricing with a date, if it’s changed in price.

  • In no particular order and only includes apps I have bought or won through prizes.

    Helium
    Neon
    Beatly Pro
    SDS-X
    Loopy Pro
    Bleass Slow Machine
    Bleass Motion FX
    Bleass Granulizer

    There's a fellow on Loran and Paul's Facebook AUv3 Group named Bill who started keeping track of all new AU releases in this spreadsheet. Also - iOSnoops and Synthy Frog will tell you the app's release date (ID700 in this case - released April 12, 2021).

    My faves of 2021: ID700, Hammerhead, Other Desert Cities, polyBeat, Sample Crate.

    Yea, I member. Lol.

    🤣 Busy dude! We 'preciate ya!

    I was thinking… it’s Hard to find a list of all releases by year. I just looked at my iPad, picked favorites, and if it release was questionable I searched on appsliced to see if I could find anything. It won’t give you exact release dates but will usually show you it’s original pricing with a date, if it’s changed in price.

    There's a fellow on Loran and Paul's Facebook AUv3 Group named Bill who started keeping track of all new AU releases in this spreadsheet. Also - iOSnoops and Synthy Frog will tell you the app's release date (ID700 in this case - released April 12, 2021).

    My faves of 2021: ID700, Hammerhead, Other Desert Cities, polyBeat, Sample Crate.

    Thanks, and I left out a bunch, because it was getting to be too many.

    Forgot about that. Now I member. Cheers! And a definite thanks to Bill!

  • Been wanting polybeat.

  • Atom 2 was this year, if so add that to my list lol.

  • I feel like some great midi fx apps got left out of a lot of top apps of 2021 lists. There are so many categories of apps though…

  • For me:

    Loopy Pro is the standout release of the year.

    There were quite a few excellent release this year but for me Loopy Pro is a real gamechanger (and I think it will change the game even more over the coming year).

    Other favorites:

    Chow Centaur -- this makes any amp sim sound better, imo.

    Chow Matrix - even if it weren't free it would be a fave. Jatin's plug-ins rate with the best paid plugins.

    Nembrini's BG Extasy -- if it had come out a year ago, I probably wouldn't have purchased another amp sim. It covers a range from clean to slightly crunchy to screaming and sounds great everywhere in between.

    ID700 -- great-sounding synth with bonus points for being really unique and covering territory no other synth does

    Animoog Z

    Atom 2

    There were some excellent delays and what-not released this year but most exist within a space well-served already. This is not to knock them -- they just didn't change my arsenal the way the apps/plugins listed above did.

  • Thanks for the wall o' text, @gusgranite. It was helpful.

    AltiSpace 2 and SoundSaw
    Atom Piano Roll 2
    BLEASS Granulizer, Motion FX, and Slow Machine
    Chordjam and Gatelab
    Digitalism 2000
    DrumLab
    Hammerhead - kindly gifted to me by @onerez!
    Pana
    Shaper 2
    ToneStack Pro
    Wavebox

    FWIW, I usually check the version history on the app store to find when an app was launched.

    My Top 3 of 2021: Groundbreakers

    1. Loopy Pro: @Michael is making us better musicians; thank you for your hard work, time and dedication
    2. Koala “Samurai”: @elf_audio is making us better beat makers; thank you for your hard work, time and dedication
    3. Atom 2: @blueveek is making us better song writers; thank you for your hard work, time and dedication

    Surprise App of the Year: Moog Animoog Z (AUV3 🤩): @MoogMusicInc keeps outdoing themselves, somehow made Animoog better and provide great customer support on top of everything else; thank you for your hard work, time and dedication

    Happy New Year!

    I can’t wait to see what people create in 2022…

    Quite a few in actual fact.
    Loads of youtube videos showing what I can do and did with Drambo,
    I now have 32 tracks in the pipeline in Cubasis 3 and
    I’ve got a bunch to go in Auria Pro and BM3 which
    need revisiting to give them the finishing touch.

    Apps for 2021?

    VS Synth and LK by Imaginando,
    Kompressor by SGA,
    Koala Sampler Samurai Edition is a fun in my pocket sampler.
    Cubasis 3 was donated to me by @Ash.
    and sEGments I won.
    Synthmaster 2 is my go to synth if I’m not making one in dRambo.
    Other Desert Cities is now my go to delay and I really like the granulizer.
    ODC inspired me to make my first multi tap delay in dRambo.
    Bleass SampleWiz ii was a pleasant surprise.
    Bleass Dragonfly, Yup, get it.
    Ah yes, Korg Electribe Wave has spawned the beginnings of an album, the 32 tracks I’ve mentioned.
    Loopseque 8 was another pleasant surprise.
    Hammerhead? nice drum machine.
    ToneStack Pro fully loaded with the pot o gold IAP.
    Audiolayer
    Wavebox audio editor.
    Schlap compressor
    Spatializer, if you’re into stereo mixing and placement?
    Brusfri is, to use a cliche, an essential app.
    Fabfilter Pro-DS
    Toneboosters Barricade
    Toneboosters Reverb

    I was on the beta for Loopy Pro and that’s next on my shopping list.
    Talking about beta’s?

    For all of the developers who have been releasing test flights?

    Thank you from all of us.
    Thought I’d mentioned that.

    Great choices sir!
    I’m still blown away by these modeled instruments. I hope SWAM ventures into guitars and bass guitars…

  • Happy New Year @Stuntman_mike. I think you’ll get your wish. I’d like string and horn ensembles myself.

    Lol.
    Not one.
    So many made, so so many, maybe 50-100 a month over past year. Obviously in varying states, but none completely mixed and mastered. Some are mixed but not mastered. I love to create. I do think a decent percentage of them are worth finishing too, but I’m intimidated by the mastering process, both literally and figuratively. Plus I enjoy the front half (creation) a lot more then the back Half (fine tuning).

    I need to incorporate my guitar and vocals more too, pull it all together.

    @telecharge you took the words out of my mouth.

    Edit. - Update - I have released music before, maybe I’m overthinking it. the first couple times, it was literally hanging a mic from a ceiling or recording a live show, then posted on MySpace and some cd’s. When I first started messing with iOS i threw up several 30 second beats on SoundCloud, but that was a while ago now… bottom line, it’s high time i finished some tracks and get them out on the on line.
