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.

Agreed. I hate to complain about such an amazing app but it does seem like a bit of an oversight. Maybe one day.
Updated..
Anyone have success in BM3? This app sounds and looks incredible from the demo.
What are general reviews since it’s relatively new ?
I’m getting ‘blank screens’ after recent update.. And, would be nice to have on a separate iPad (remote).
About grouping tracks in Audioscope:
So will this fix the issue to subgroup tracks within a group in Cubasis, since Cubasis does not support subgrouping?
Great demo by Pete:
If you mean subgrouping to control things like levels and panning then yes. If you mean subgrouping to have a single output from the group then no.
Thanks Wim, good to know!
Does this work in beatmaker? And how would you compare this to let’s say tonebooster EQ and barricade? Is this a better all in one?
It works. I don't know that it adds that much to BM3 though since the mixer it has is very good. I very much doubt the FX are as good as TB EQ and Barricade, but they're fine.
If you find the BM3 mixer lacking somehow I guess maybe it's worthwhile. Where it really helps is more with something like AUM, to save scrolling, reduce the number of FX you have to add to channels, and for the better metering. Or for GarageBand which doesn't even have a mixer.
Good call. I thought this made the mixing visual with EQ and compression how TB did it separately but I think I am wrong. tY
No, you're right about that. If those features feel to you like they would add value to BM3 then it's a good choice. I was just saying that it BM3's mixer is pretty good on its own. And yes, it does allow you to do per-channel eq, compression, and metering from one handy place. Some setup is needed because you have to add an instance of the plugin to every bank you want to control.
Another thing I think is a big advantage is if you use more than one DAW, AudioScope can provide a consistent mixing and channel strip experience across them all.
Sorry if what I said above sounded negative on the app. I think it's a great app. It's just less needed in an app like BM3 that already has a good mixer.
Looking to buy Audioscope to use it in Cubasis mainly for the visual mixer/snapshot system. Is it worth it? Is there some better alternative which isn't drawing automation curves?
Also how is the audio quality? I'm usually using TB EQ and I'm not really looking for another eq, but if it's good enough..
Thanks!
