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.

Audiobus is the app that makes the rest of your setup better.

Simultaneous interfaces

in Loopy Pro

I am trying to run two interfaces simultaneously on loopy pro.

I am aware iOS generally doesn’t support this but did find info on this old thread here
https://forum.loopyapp.com/discussion/3112/ipad-and-multiple-audio-interfaces

And so before investing in audiobus I just wondered if the Multiroute audio mode is more reliable/advisable now?

I will eventually get a multi in and out interface but just for the time being wanted a work around. But if it doesn’t work I’ll just wait and get a bigger interface

Many thanks

    If it doesn't work with Loopy Pro with multi route audio enabled then Audiobus is definitely not going to help.

    @wim thanks for the info. Tbh I hadn't really got clear on exactly what multi route audio was, and had presumed it was a feature specific to audiobus.

    I won't be worrying about it anymore though as I need to just get on and buy a bigger interface.

    At least it was interesting watching the mg16xu usurping the Alexis io2 - suggesting some unspoken hierarchy between interfaces.

    Did you try multi-route in Loopy Pro?

    Multi-route is an os feature that is very hit-and-miss

    Whichever you plug in last wins. $3 earbuds with a microphone can beat both of those if plugged in last.

    oh ok so its just the last thing to be plugged in, mystery solved.

    just for the record - I put multi-route mode on in loopy pro (hadn't seen it previously) and was able to get simultaneous outputs but only one interface for the input. So doesn't quite provide what I want but is good for trying out a few things for now. thanks for the help @wim @espiegel123
