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.

    Glad to hear you guys are already getting Nanostudio 2!

    Trying to keep pace here and get you guys caught up on its features.

    Here's the first two tutorial which cover setting up Send FX tracks, Groups and more complex setups like parallel FX tracks, which kind of combines these two features in NS2:

    Lots more to come!

    I was gonna try and list everything I like so far but seriously, just get it. Obsidian is like a mini serum. The mixer section and effects are super capable, as is AU implementation. Matt (?) has thought of pretty much everything. Editing is a breeze. File management is great.

    I’m super, super impressed with this. 6 years in the making and worth every day. Haven’t done as much with all my other apps as I have with this in one night. Can’t wait for audio tracks!!

    And did I read that correctly? Individual notes can be modulation sources in Obsidian?!
    Like C3, C#3...or is key-tracking a mod source?

    few mod sources, watch “note”, that is what i was talking about

    So no breath, expression, foot, aftertouch etc.
    But i see velocity realease....nice!

    Quick non screaming fan review.
    The UI is poor in some areas, stunning in others.
    If you are in to heavy sample use then BM3 is still a little better because while slate has some clever UI stuff, it’s overall abilities is not as good, but the sample editor in NS2 has more features.
    In terms of slickness the app is obviously extremely mature, the saving capabilities are superb, the little features here and there like MIDI input filter etc are excellent too.
    The arranger and piano roll are as good as to be expected.
    The mixer tries to copy Reaper too much and is one of the UI areas that is not great in my opinion.
    The native effects are all usable but i found AU effcts use to be clunky but stable in quick testing.
    Obsidian is the best synth on IOS, it actually rivals some desktop synths that are priced much higher.

    Overall i would say if you currently use another DAW you need this, if this is your first, you dont need any of the others, but, there is some clunky workflow that is vastly superior notably in BM3, but this is not going to have the impact NS1 did, just because of the vast selection of current products available.
    An excellent product that needs some work.

    In the sequencer, you can label the parts: chord name, bridge/verse, drole dad jokes - whatever.
    Just so you guys know.

    Indeed, it went live. I kept waiting for the preorder to be confirmed, and the appstore kept me in limbo. Cancelled the preorder, and poof, the price magically appeared. Welp, now I'm downloading it! Finally. :)

    Same here. Downloading now ... no time to play tonight. :-(

    But, this weekend is another story!

    GREAT VIDEOS! This is how video tutorials should be done.

    Are you using iOS screen recording and then adding the iPad background? Or is this being recorded on a PC? ... if you don’t mind sharing your secrets.

    While watching, my iPad notified me my Preorder is ready. Nice new little icon waiting to be pushed. But I wanted to say thanks first. B)

    See y’all on the other side...

    Lower left hand corner. Press and it will load Obsidian track. Long press and you have options of other tracks. AU, Slate, MIDI...

    Also anytime in NS2 that you see the small arrow under an icon, that means there are more options with a long press.

    IAP: AppStore crapy-ass code can cause hiccups. Works best if you download one IAP at a time and don’t go to another app while downloading. If you do and experience a hiccup, just try to download again and eventually the AppStore will figure it out.

    Is there any way to make it so that touching notes or pad names in the Row Header in the part editor plays the note or iPad??

    In Piano roll, lower left hand corner: icon looks like speaker with a note next to it. Click it so that it is blue. This will not add ‘blue notes’ 🙄 (lame joke - couldn’t help it)

  • zhoezhoe

    The app is great
