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

Nice to see Logic Pro X get some love not sure how old this is and don’t own a Mac but you never know it might filter down.
Nice new keyboard factory/user presets browser button for AU. Works for example with ModelD, Volt, Ruismaker, but not Roli Noise nor Unique. Great addition. They should have added that to Alchemy iPhone version too.
I also find GB opens faster.
@Janosax @Samu an augmented reality app that lets you measure distances and lengths quite accurately just pointing the camera at objects. You should re-visit it if you deleted it, it's quite impressive actually.
(But as I said, don't point it at Claude Monet )
Any of you great iOS musicians out there want to do a tutorial on midi import? Tried gadget and bm3 and gb says file not supported. Any hints or help
Yup.
Sadly correct. And no Ableton-Link either ( unless thats very recently changed. methinks not )
You can still use apeMatrix which is IAA synced with GB, and load some stuff inside ApeM and rec its audio output in GB. It’s a great combo. Cubasis nor GB have link. You can use Midi Link Sync app: GB midi clock will be converted to Link. I finished a track using it with AUM as IAA in GB, with no major issues. First real iOS DAW having Link will certainly be Stagelight as it’s able to apply ElastiqueV2 Pro timestretch to all audio.
Also beta testing Stagelight I’ve found a nice iOS AU. Never use them and prefer third party AU, but really AU distortion is powerful, complex and sounds good. It also has a bunch of presets:
Never mind figured it out. You have to use the loop files option instead of the files folder floating GarageBand app.
Wonder if it’s because it’s AB3. Will try AB2 later.
GB works perfectly with AB audio in with Audiobus 3, but you have to choose regular audio input in GB, not AB IAA inputs, as AB is seen as an audio interface by GB.
wow
@AndyPlankton :want what? Midi import? Oh, I see... meh
That midi import export feature could be interesting to create some material in an AU midi player hosted in AUM/ApeM. Could be done with Xequence too. Also useful with Gadget.
Pete Johns is Garageband’s best feature ..
I want nothing, was just a bit shocked by the ageist comment
New Drummer picker.
Saw that one it’s nice.
Just tried export midi files from Gadget to import them in GB, that works though loops browser and you import with Files, in this case via Dropbox (thanks Gadget!!). Works pretty nice.
Best scenario usage for this one:
You want to sequence Gadget instruments (already sequenced in Gadget in a project idea) in a linear arrangement with other audio files/recordings, or/and being able to play with GB loop mode. As your arrangement will also use audio files and recordings, Xequence is not the best choice. With recent AUV3 RouteMIDI, you can add midi out feature to GB, with 16 channels per virtual output. Make your arrangement in GB with all midi (imported from Gadget) and audio parts, and then export GB midi file and import it in Gadget. You can also multi tracks record RouteMIDI instances outputs directly in Gadget in real-time. Now export Gadget audio stems and import them in GB, this will give you possibility to add AU fxs on those Gadget stems etc.
Can be useful with ApeM/AUM too.
I’m in touch with RouteMIDI dev, he works on enhancing its app to make it even better:

I can't get midi import to work. I can add them to the loop picker, but they're greyed out, and I can't drag or otherwise select them.
Lol. Botox baby ! You’ll be fine
Pro-Q 2 now works in GarageBand 👍
So does Harmonizer
@AndyPlankton : At 66, I’m too old to give a ——
@mAxjUlien : Yeah I see good things coming down the pike from Apple . Next Logic update should be sweet
What's the view like from there?
Reading glasses only at 1.50 so just fine!
Am I the only one who has understood they were both midi import and export? In fact it’s only import via loops menu.
You can import any midi files.
