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.

It isn't even necessarily a meaningful measure of headroom until you are using a fair amount of CPU due to the way CPU throttling works if I understand correctly.
p.s. You might want to edit the thread title and add a "not" at the end.
But muh clickbait?! 😏
I haven't. But I've heard some users are seeing such performance issues, on some devices. I think it's an iOS bug that mixes up audio/UI thread priorities somehow. Maybe the way AUM does its UI (CoreAnimation and CoreGraphics) differs from other hosts.
Had this issue on iOS 11. Also on other hosts , but in AUM it was very noticeable. All gone/fixed on iOS 12+
Wish Apple would allow a more aggressive audio vs GUI priority
Which iPad do you have?
ok just tested again and it might be only happening when cpu is under load in AUM so will need to compare in other hosts under similar load. But yeah, hope Apple improve this going forward with iOS updates
Ok, just to kinda close this out... Yea, the Air3 kicks ass.
I just goofed around with 4 instances of model D (air 2 choked on 2 even at 1024), and Sunrizer, driven by fugue machine with various fx on each track summer to master with Maxima as “mastering”, and even at 256 it still didn’t pop or crackle and dsp hovered around 70%.
I don’t think I’m in the market for a Nord Lead any more! 😁
