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.

OMG, the hyperbole. LOL.
All what you say is realistic and the reality. Such a pro Daw will not take people more creative I 🤔 the opposite . Some very creative musicians it can boost their output a lot like it was the case for Billie Eilish that create her first song on on Logic Pro, she master the tool after many years so she was doing from start to end her first songs. If you go to a Label with very polished songs so they consider you with high regards for sure 👌
For most of us in the hobby it it just an affordable big studio, my dream was to be sounds engineer not software engineer but I had at 18 years old a summer job in a big recording studio so I just as hobby my dream and I discovered how wonderful is sound design.
First time I had LP I loose my creativity during over 6 months at leat ,just doing part of musics track , now I got 120 projects to finish as I am never happy , such a tools push you to be not realising or finish as you want more and more. Now I learnt to relax and I achieve more work but not so much. I created more finished track in the easy li tied to midi NS2 or Cubasis 3.
Music is a therapeutic way for me from creating sounds to track do mixing and try to achieve a bit of mastering (such a noob for mastering even just for Soundcloud).
Sharing with you my human experience with LP pro can help people to adapt . Some will no do something great or even good for many months but stay focus to learn LP and after it will be ok at the same time use AUM and play with apps do iOS music as LP is not really like iOS music as you did for many years.
Some people say It is easy LP , they surely forgot how it can be frustrating and a deep learning curve and stressful compare to NS2. But it is also at the end rewarding nothing to compare with GarageBand, the instruments and sounds can be wonderful if you use texture morphing.
Indeed. It’s funny, but one of the larger devs to come to iOS in recent years, Eventide, was greeted so enthusiastically (Of course I stupidly bought them all!) but I almost never use their apps, given their comparatively anodyne quality in comparison to offerings from smaller devs.
Like you, I’m typically in AUM, but I was just messing with NS2 last night - wondering if I would really get more done and done better with Logic. Yeah, yeah, no audio tracks, but navigation is a breeze.
What is a monthly clothing subscription? Or a monthly laundry subscription? Or a monthly food subscription?
I totally understand and I don’t want to knock Logic Pro - I used it a bit 15 years ago and Digital Performer prior to that. I remember it being equally rewarding and frustrating. At the time I just wanted to record some songs in my apartment - 10 tracks at the most. It’s still probably more than I need or want!
I think with enough exposure to and experience with pro- and semi-pro software a person can really begin to understand how to shape their recordings and improve a bit every day.
My best mixes came out of NS2 and not just because of the cool track nesting/routing, but being able to jump almost anywhere within a second and adjust anything on the fly. If Logic has even half this flow that is a win.
The only way is to create hundred of songs can be craps one not important you will only progress like that and every day you use it and at the end you improve. More you do more your learn and don’t think that because you use Garage Band you will be easy cool with LP it like if you have a cat 🐈 and after a dog 🐶 not really the same.
Is it easier with LP ios touch screen than LP OS I am like you I have no clue only I hope it will be or many will stop their sub fed up the first month. If Apple releases it for a wide use , usually they work on that.
Who knows maybe iPad Logic will have a similar switch as the Mac version?
...with 'easy mode' switched on it's more like iPad GarageBand and in 'normal/hard' mode it's more like 'Logic'
I would like to see a model like this:
Full Lifetime Purchase: $100 + as per what the market will bear (could be lower or higher) and includes all future upgrades. This is for people with some funds who believe in an app and want to invest in its future.
Temporary Subscription: “rent” the app for the month with automatic cancellation. This is useful for those apps you would like to use once in a while but not enough to justify purchasing.
Subscribe to Own: like a payment plan, you pay monthly every month until the current version’s price is paid and then your subscription ends but you still keep the current version. New versions would not come for free, but could be had for the same subscribe to own deal or purchased outright.
The current AppStore will not allow for this, so yes, changes are necessary before this would have a chance. Just thinking of a way to cater to all the payment methods people prefer rather than one or the other.
At least they say as requirement to have GB installed on IPad to have the new Logic. Why ? I don’t know but Apple have its tech reason for that.
Where was that mentioned?
Where did you read that? They are two separate apps...
This user, Ralis, must be totally brainwashed - his dystopian theories is really funny!!
If you don’t want Logic Pro as an subscription, don’t get it then from Apple…
Buy some other DAW instead - there are a least ten of them to iPad on Appstore…
Dream scenario: the Nanostudio developer works for Apple now….
I dont think that is how that works. Your Garageband projects can be finished in Logic Pro. You would need to have Garageband installed to move the project to Logic Pro.
Also, many users have GarageBand instruments. You should be able to use those instruments inside of Logic as well. The desk version does this.
Edit: If you have no GB projects or instruments you should not need GB to run Logic Pro.
Right. This mistaken belief comes from a misreading of the fine print on the web site. You are correct.
i actually think Logic on iPad will be like desktop logic switched to ´easy mode’ 😂
Possibly!
I can assure you I am not brainwashed. Dystopian theories, Perhaps. I find it disheartening not funny.
Yes, there are monthly food subscriptions already and yes there are under wear and legging subscriptions already. My guess is that laundry is soon to follow. There is already and app for laundry that will automatically recharge weekly or monthly for laundry mats, but you have a choice to just do a one time payment but it is designed to discourage that.
I will not get LP for iPad.
I did buy 6 other DAW’s and I actually use 3 of them
I travel extensively for long periods of time for my work, I am observant and base my opinions on the facts I have at the moment.
I suppose if you search hard enough on the internet you'll eventually find "toothpick rental" or "ball of string rental" but this stuff you talk about is pretty obscure.
House rental is common. Car rental. Hardware & tools rental. All common. And useful to some people.
Underwear and legging subscriptions... I wouldn't worry about that too much.
Hey, a laundry subscription sounds like a good idea… especially if home pickup and delivery is included.
In the case of consumables the context of "subscription" changes. For instance, we are all on a subscription plan for food and energy. Stop paying and you stop eating and you freeze in winter. These are variable rate subscriptions but they're subscriptions all the same.
If someone offers an attractive fixed-price subscription for food or energy or any other consumable or service, some people may prefer it. For instance, my energy provider offers an optional "even payment" plan to average out costs over the year. That can be helpful for people on a fixed income who get hammered with high utility bills in the winter.
I don't see the point in coming unhinged over the spread of subscription models - at least as long as there is any competition in a market space for something non-essential such as a DAW.
(This coming from someone who will never go subscription for iOS apps for my own reasons. Maybe I would make an exception for Logic Pro if I was interested in it, which I'm not. But for dozens of apps? No way.)
Hey, this is the AudioBus Forum - people get unhinged here over the May 23rd release of a dopey music app!
Each iOS developer offers whatever model they want and users will decide if it’s for them. It’s that simple. This is a forum and ultimately a place to discuss so all is fair.
Instruments like tc-11, Samplr, Fluss etc is the kind of thing I mean
Same... Blackhole is literally the only one I ever use, for some reason, though tap delay is also great.
Drambo were £20.
Richest company wants subscription.
I think they even added the dots on purpose because they thought Drambo would be big, whilst they were designing logic.
Added what dots?
Do Apple send an email each month to let you know that they took X amount of money for your subscription Y, Z, A, B or only at the beginning of the subscription?
