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.

iOS 12 is available (as of Monday 17 September)

    …and then turn off your auto-updates for iOS.

    If only that was possible!

    right, you can turn off AppStore updates, but the iOS updates download automatically, so it will nag for installation endlessly. Ironically, iOS 12 seems to have a setting to turn off iOS updates.

    If you don't have wifi on when you recharge you ipad, you will never get an update automatically downloaded.

  • I'll update, the betas seem snappier here.

  • Running iOS 12 on my iPhone 7 Plus. Everything is quicker and smooth. I won’t install it on my iPad yet because I need all of my music apps to work. I doubt much has to change to the apps but I’m just being cautious.

  • Running the GM of iOS on all my devices now, no issues at all. Feels even better than the betas did, and all my apps work fine. Nice little update actually, my iPhone X feels like new again.

    I'm still on an Air 1 (to upgrade before year's end). I will go to 11.4.1 and officially never update that device again until I get a new iPad.

    I don't know, my air 1 has been terrible under ios11, way way slower than 10 and have to kill off apps in the background constantly. I even had completely reset iPad and reinstalled apps to a clean os, rather than using a backup. If ios 12 really does what it says and increases the usability of my air 1 I will be very happy.

  • I’ll be throwing caution to the wind and upgrade my iPhone to IOS12 just so I can use Google Maps or Waze in my car equipped with Apple Car Play. I’ve never been a big fan of Apple Maps. I may stay with 11.4 for a while on my iPad Pro just in case. Or not!

    If you delete the downloaded update in settings, it’ll stop nagging (until next update, that is)

    Oh really? Damn, that's crazy!
    I mean, I have very careful setups with increased buffer size that work fairly well;
    A drum sequence and a heavy synth (Zeeon) in BM3 with 2-3 aux chan and other fx AUs are enough to have much fun.
    AUM/AB3 with 2-3 synths w/ MV08 and FXs do the same.
    It's not horrible, but it's not great. But CRACKLE-CITY is always right around the corner. It could be the simple turn of a knob and it's suddenly it's the sounds of Megratron's painfully loud indigestion.
    If you are willing to take one for the team next week, feel free to update the Air1 and report back. I'm sure many here, including myself, will appreciate it.

    Will do!

    The reports from the beta were that 12 works great on the Air 1 and Mini 2 so I'm looking forward to finally having an upgrade path.

    Technically there's a way to get it now if you sign up for the open beta, then unregister when the public release comes, or something like that. I didn't look into it too closely, but it's something to pursue if anyone's really impatient.

    I'll be going full on iOS12 on Monday (the updates usually drop around 8pm here in Sweden).

    I hope it will be about the same time in Norway.
    I’m not going full iOS12, but I will install it on my newest 12,9. Last update on the 2017 model gave it a bootup time of over 4 minutes, versus 20 seconds before the update. I’m hoping it’s blowing up this time, just to get a new one.
    So I’m going half iOS12, to begin with.

  • I’d love to hear that they bumped up the memory limit for AU instancing on devices with enough ram.

    Can’t wait to run GMaps in my car. Way better.

    Thanks for the info dude. I know you run the Ampify apps, so hearing this is good news for me :)

  • My experience hasnt been good. Lots of freezing and slowness on Cubasis. I dont think its Cubasis itself though i think its is one or a few of my FX.

    My guess, one of the Fred Corvest or Audio Damage ones that doesnt seem to jive too well.

  • Cubasis runs perfectly fine here, i would need more info to test specifics though, I'm not a heavy Cubasis user.

    Great news for iOS 12

  • @YZJustDatGuy was really hoping for this!

  • Wow, that sounds like great news. @McDtracy have you seen this? Thanks @YZJustDatGuy , where did you find this thread, please?

    Found it from the iPad Musician group on Facebook but went to Twitter grab screenshots.

  • Great news :)

    So 4gigs of ram or more required for the AU limit getting lifted? I wonder if they at least increased the limit for 2gig devices.

  • Thanks, @YZJustDatGuy . What do you think of that group, if I may politely ask? I hate Facebook ( just me) but might make an exception for something like that if it embellishes this forum.

    I like the group. I’ve learned a lot of things from being in it. I regularly check Audiobus Forums and the group regularly to catch up on things I may have missed

  • Is iOS 12 already available?

  • Here in Sweden the iOS updates usually drop around 8pm so around that time I'll do the 'check for updates' :)

    Dont do it, its a trap to collect all your info and to manipulate your world view so that you act like someone with bad intentions wanting you to
