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.

The other day @pbelgium sent me a track and invited me to have a go at it. His notes indicated that it was in 3/4 or 6/8 time at 88bpm. He also provided four chords. Hmmm… four chords for a song in three? This could be interesting. I loaded it into Cubasis and set the bpm to 88. I hit play and started counting. I counted nine, which is a multiple of three. Just to make things even more interesting, I arranged everything over a 4/4 timeline. This was really fun and a bit of a challenge.

    Sounds good @Paulieworld - definitely interesting! I like the sounds you used, guitars (not me), Mile's trumpet and the echo synth-flute sound at around 2:40. The title seems very apt: I had to listen a few times as I became addicted to counting 4 against 3 (or was it 6) and waiting for the counts to sync - the way the rhythms go in and out of phase with each other is mesmerising!

    When I first listened to your track it sounded so simple. As I got into it I realized it was not! The timing really threw me. I sat for what seemed like hours trying to figure out how to arrange something to fit. I think I could probably do better now, but I had to finish it. I still hear it in my head days later. I might come back to it In the future!

    You're right @Paulieworld, it sounds simple, but deceptively so.
    It's not that easy to play on guitar either. Here's the score/tab (I used Notion Mobile) for anyone who wants to try.

    @pbelgium Ahhh… I see now. I started measure one with those three eighth notes. I should have known better!

    Seems to make sense to me that way, just my interpretation - I only scored this yesterday and hadn't given it much thought at the time of recording other than it had a 3/4 (or 6/8) feel.

    Bonkers but in a good way that I won’t be able to get out of my head 👂
