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.

Download on the App Store

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

Headed out to my hometown tomorrow night....

....long non-stop from Austin to Heathrow and am trying to focus on a project to either make the time go by or at least come out the other end a little more with it than I am today. Have some apps (amongst the others) on this Air that I haven't spent time on and am wondering which -in YOUR opinion- would be the best use of the available time, especially in light of starting from scratch/bang for the buck/potential of engrossment etc? Edit: And, yeah, I put in the Sliver twice, but can't go back and delete it now it's been 'published' Grrr :)

    Interesting. I thought we were more alike in terms of interests. You know... More audio than midi, as you work with auria (bm2, As well, maybe?)

    But I suppose it isn't linear.

    I'm saying this because there isn't an app there that I use. (And I bet there are some good ones in there.)
    Apart from Sliver I haven't got any of them. I haven't got any time to explore sliver but bought it when it was on sale. It's another tool.
    When you open any app you can understand if you're just going to get half an hour with it, or use it in the middle of your workflow or even use it all the time and as a main tool.
    I guess Samplr is one of my main tools right now. Sliver is not. Yet. I've had a few problems with sliver's audio (and a few bugs) but the reason that made me want to explore it later is that I felt like I had no fine control over my waveform and that the magic was all about moving loads of automation and seeing (hearing) what happens in the end.

    You people always say '2 cents' at the end of these outbursts, right? :)

    By the way... You have the funniest comments.

    Thanks for the note @Macao95. My guess is that your guess is about right; it's precisely because I am more 'audio' than 'midi' that I keep reading the thoughts here of plenty of obviously interesting and talented folks who focus more on the other way round and can't help but think that if, say, I ever had a long slab of time in front of me I should dig into the dark side a little and see what I find there.

    I've actually decided that I'm going to extend this experiment from just a ten hour plane ride to the whole ten day trip. If I was half the man I always hoped I'd be I would just bite down on the 'Different Drummer' bullet, but I'm not sure I can face it. I'm a great believer in achievement psychology and need to get positive results to keep my enthusiasm going :) (Please don't mention this weakness to Mister @funjunkie27).

    It'll be our secret. ;-)

    I think you should follow your gut: stroke machine is first in the list for a reason. Plus, you can actually complete entire songs entirely within that app.

    Not sure if you own them but have you considered Nanostudio or nanoloop?

    I voted WaveMapper, of the apps on that list I've used (most of them), WaveMapper was the most fun. Really love how that app works (and how it works in tandem with WaveGenerator, although you don't need WaveGenerator for WaveMapper to be awesome)

  • JohnnyGoodyearJohnnyGoodyear

    @CalCutta @syrupcore Thanks Chaps: Have Generator and Mapper on board. As for Nanostudio; was prolly the first music app I bought. Nanoloop I know nothing of, but I was looking for something to do in this Phony War of my last 20 minutes before the car comes and that sounds like it :)

  • WillWill

    I guess it actually depends on what you want to get out of it. If you want some finished(ish) songs on the other side of 10 days then I'm still pro stroke machine or Nanostudio. If you want to learn a new tool inside and out so that you can use it more fluidly in the future, I'd say TC-Data.
