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.

I think the issue is that one is can't resize the window to use a different aspect ratio that might suit the window contents better
@MatthewAtZenbeats zenbeats is creating far to many auto backups in the song/Backup/ folder . I have set Zenbeats to auto save every 10mins yet all these backup files are created. Is there anyway to turn off auto backup completely until this is addressed ? Also noticed recently that my projects are being last current state saved by Zenbeats. This was not happening before.
Lastly can you explain what the Quickload folder is for.
An updated Zenbeats manual is much needed
@MatthewAtZenbeats hi, I really like zen beats, it’s really great!! I have the iPad os 18 beta , and I can’t use zen beats because of a bug or latency issue, I was wandering if you will update zen beats in the future to work great in this os version?
Disabling Auto save feature should fix this but I will make a ticket to look into this further. Thanks for the report. Feel free to PM more details.
This issue is on our list to look at soon!
Are you aware of the display when using loopy pro?
That’s great news because on iPhone 14pro, I’m having extreme crackling with any instrument. Only option in buffer settings is 256 but the sound is garbled, and other times there’s just a loud buzz than rings out.
I opened loopy pro first and set the buffer to 512 and then opened Zenbeats, and the crackling went away for a bit , but came back.
Good luck with a solution! Love Zenbeats on my phone.
iOS 18 beta 8
@MatthewAtZenbeats will Zenbeats ever get proper AUX tracks and more flexible mixer routing options ?. Also can we get effects pre / post fader options for the mixer.
Update here. We have a compatibility fix in test now while we finish up a few other tasks for the next Zenbeats patch. I'll keep everyone updated on progress. Stay tuned.
What are you looking to be able to do exactly?
Also, we have pre and post fader for send options already. Is this what you are looking for?
@MatthewAtZenbeats thanks for quick reply. I get phasing issues when routing audio into the sends in pre & post fader . They work different to standard Aux tracks . I will do more testing. Sends are usually for fx sends.
What I’am attempting is to route tracks into multiple groups but Zenbeats only allows tracks to route to one Group no multiple so attempted to do this through multiple sends but getting bad phase issues , hence the suggestion for multiple Aux routing options from tracks
Understood.👍🏼
@stormbeats - if you're using limiters on some of the sends, they're going to introduce latency and phasing issues unless you can run them without lookahead.
@wim yes exactly.
But isn't that going to be the case in any host? I don't understand what Zenbeats can do to counter that.
@wim @MatthewAtZenbeats it’s cool , I worked it out. I route all audio tracks to sends then I solo sends to stop phasing.
@MatthewAtZenbeats can you consider adding “add multiple audio , instrument etc tracks” and not the current one by one method using the + sign. Tedious when you have a lot of audio tracks for a project.
Also can we get a very quick fix for being able to switch off the default auto time stretch when importing audio.
It’s a strange decision to have implemented this to “On” as a default setting for all imported audio.
When I first used Zenbeats 3 , I could not work out why my imported audio was playing at strange speeds. This made me stop using Zenbeats 3. A friend of mine explained it was the auto time stretch luckily.
This has been on My personal wishlist for long time!
-We can make this an option in the future 👍🏻. For the record, we only timestretch small audio files. Long audio files should not have time stretching on by default
Hi Everyone,
Just a note that Zenbeats 3.1.8 (with iOS 18 support) is rolling out now along with a few other fixes and enhancements.
What's new in 3.1.8
👍👍👍
Great and now loopy pro U.I. Works perfectly !!
Thanks a lot Matthew.
@MatthewAtZenbeats latest update says Import improvements. That could mean anything. There is no detail on what has been improved.
Still have the same issue importing audio -set to auto timestretch by defaukt
That line is referring to us making our content import and export functions more prevalent and follows into the next line of implementing
the native share sheet support.
For example, let say you want to share mix with someone, you can go to the mixes page, tap share, then Share Export and the native iOS share sheet will take it from there. You
This works with sharing full song projects too. Want to back up your songs to iCloud or Dropbox? Head to the songs tab and tap Export at the top. You can choose 1 or more songs to zip up and and again then tap the share export option. This will open the share sheet and you can pick your cloud provider of choice. I'll be making some videos showcasing these things soon.
