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 saw only good ratings online, pretty much, here in Thailand, about the SanDisk Richard recommended. Maybe it was a geography specific faulty batch that caused the bad reviews in the US? It also seems it was mainly the 4TB model that had issues. Anyway, I may find out for myself, perhaps the hard way, because it arrived and I think I will just open and keep it.

    If you're willing to be a guinea pig, and don't need it to also be read by windows machines, would you consider using a format for it not ExFAT and we can find out if it ever goes wrong with indexing after using with iOS? As my post above, iOS having no eject functionality, combined with Monterey having no repair index functionality is a complete pain in the DSS, at least with ExFAT. I have no problems with FAT32 drives with iOS.

    I don’t have a laptop at the moment so I won’t be doing any kind of reformatting, I’ll just be using it as it comes. But yeah, when it comes to risking losing all my data, being a guinea pig doesn’t sound very appealing lol

    There’s a chance you could go into an Apple Store and get your drive formatted?

    This seems like a good idea.

    Just checked and it looks like there are 8 different authorized Apple dealers/repair shops in Thailand but no official Apple Store. Even so, they might help.

    So just therefore for your info,

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it comes preformatted ExFAT which is the format that I've found is problematic for hot plugging on iOS and is cross platform. Whereas APFS is the most recent apple format. And FAT32 is battle ready, so to speak.

    I suspect there will at some point be a problem, because there's no way to eject an ExFAT drive from iOS, the only safe unmount is to shut down iOS, and even then occasionally I've still had that mess up the drive index, where it won't be recognized by iOS next time and from then on until you then plug it in to either windows or a Mac OS at least as old as Big Sur to repair the index, and come back.

    This is not an expert opinion of course, just what I've found: Mac Os and iOS are both temperamental about drives formatted for cross platform use, but at least older Mac OS could repair the issues.

    Given iOS doesn't have any functionality for reformatting drives, It might therefore be advisable to get anyone else at all to reformat it, whether to APFS or FAT32.
    I don't have experience with APFS I'm only presuming because it's Apple's most up to date format and in the past I found Apple specific formats were more reliable albeit limited to the Apple ecosystem.
    I know from experience FAT32 continues to be extremely robust, hot plug as much as you like without issues (well, within reason!), albeit no files can be bigger than 4GB on a FAT32 drive, which is kind of limiting.

    None of this is to do with the manufacturer as far as I can tell, but iOS and drive mounting, but again I stand to be corrected.

    Ah OK, I think I skipped thorough your earlier post too quickly. It's been years since I've even bought an external hard drive so I've never even thought about all this. Pretty sure whatever I used in the past was formatted to fat32 but yeah, didn't even think about the possibility that in this modern day you would even have to think twice about this kind of thinsmg to get a hard drive functioning multi platform without issues

    Maybe good to get the opinion of someone like @wim or @uncledave

    Maybe I’m just better off working with what I have until I upgrade my iPad 😂
