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.

Ha! Indeed, thank you if that is the case!
Couldn’t agree more. And people are too worried by what ai can do rather than excuted about what they can do. If you’re good at something, ai doesn’t stop you doing it. Be thankful we’re not professional chess or go or poker players as then we really would be doomed.
With reference to my earlier comment about whether they could ‘reinvent the wheel’ for less experienced users; I’ve just been reading about the Performing tool which is present in Procreate Dreams and, while not completely revolutionary, it really will make animation a lot more accessible and quicker to produce!
Yeah, you can move things with the timeline recording, pretty cool. I've seen some beta testers demoing and it looks good. Now, animation is very time consuming even with tools like this so we'll see how long it lasts for a broader audience/user. I will get it although I know it's high risk not getting used. I have had Callipeg for 2 years without producing more than half a project 😂
I agree, this is a great feature to have but ultimately the time will still have to be put in to make anything half interesting! Excited to try it though.
For someone wanting to get freshly into animation, is there an app on iPad that would be best for that? Would Dreams over complicate things?
ToonSquid and Callipeg are excellent apps but you also have thousands of "lesser" animation apps with various quality. Dreams might be easier than any of them but that remains to be seen. But, and again, animation is long time projects however and whatever you want to do.
@AudioGus (I think it was?) did some fantastic animations in/with Procreate, I'm not sure how and I think he gave up on it in the end, which is a bit sad. Curious on his thoughts on Dreams(?)
Thanks, I know it’s a long process but I’d like to at least give it a shot at some point. I remember hearing about ToonSquid.
Nope, wasn't me
ToonSquid can do some really cool vector animations and has a moving camera to animate, it's a really cool app and not very expensive. Take a look at some videos for it and you'll see what I mean. Callipeg is more traditional "Disney" fram by frame, excellent app as well but for pro's I think (I nver really befriended it)
Oh, I'm sorry!! Hmm, and, damn my foggy memory.
It is you @AudioGus -- not very nice to play with my mind like that😂. The videos has gone private and I guess you have your reasons for that, Sorry to have brought it up. This was the thread, pretty awesome one at that and it might need a bump.
Oh! That timelapse painting, heh forgot about that. Yah, it was mostly just a vehicle for some NS2 tracks. Most of my Procreate stuff these days is just random quick sketches to toss into Stable Diffusion.
I see, yeah I never got into that properly and not for lack of opportunity. I don't know why except that I'm bad at prompting. Can we see som of your newer stuff then? I did bump that old thread, and, you got some real talent dude😊 (so I'm curious)
Aww thanks! Hmm, all my stuff is AI infused these days and this forum isn't really the welcome wagon for such. I use it at work constantly and do experiments for fun on the side too. I just don't want to invite the range of commentary it gets.
I understand. Too sad.😔
I got “This video is private” from the @AudioGus post. Now, you intrigue me. I want to see this work, darn you @Pxlhg.
BTW, I know that you are cleaning and preparing those “Pipe Dream” layers in Procreate to be imported into Dreams! There is no need to keep this a secret, haha!
Wow I wasn’t expecting it to only be $10. That’s not a bad deal.
One of the main things I really want to do is have somewhat purposefully bad animations of my own that I can then add my own music too. Mostly just for the fun of it and will probably upload it to YouTube as well. Does ToonSquid allow you to since music or will that have to be done in iMovie or elsewhere?
On November 22, your Dreams will come true! 🤩
Yes, Toonsquid will allow you to add audio , I bought it because I thought Procreate Dreams wasn’t going to work with my IPad, turned out to be a really nice animation imo. I think the developer did a great job. I put a pin in it until I see how well Procreate Dreams works but for anyone who’s IPad it doesn’t work with it I definitely recommend Toonsquid
Thanks! I’ll hold out until Dreams comes out and watch the reviews for it. Hopefully someone will make a comparison with all the iOS options. Any YouTube channels out there that focus on animation on the iPad?
You have no idea how much I wish I'd thought of layering all those pipes, but no it's all one layer. You read my mind pretty good though.😊
I must admit, those pipes are monumental work, so revisiting them you can make it even better. I could bet on it. 😌
I started to count days for the Dreams. I thought that preordering would make me forget, but nope. 🫣 I bought my first iPad because of Procreate.
Dreams WILL let you have audio with the animation, right?
I’m so excited for this one. I feel like this will make animation much less of a pain in the ass cos the Procreate app has so many features to expedite the process of drawing on iPad
Yes
Just opened it, yihaa!!
Excellent high paced beginners tutorial.
Only one down side. I can't turn off the bloody two-finger undo gestures. 😆 ProCreate added this after my constant complaints about how the side of my palm would inadvertently undo my work.
