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.

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

My little music room

This is my current setup.

Thought I would share.

  • What a lovely and inviting space! The little pieces of art and memories on top really set the mood. Very nice!

  • I respect any studio that has bulldog clips in use.

  • Ah, one of these days #goals

    Thank you.

    Like the saying ,'as above so below',

    Here's a photo of the ceiling.
    I ran out of space for my artwork so I started
    putting them on the ceiling for storage.

    Glad you noticed them.
    I wouldn't be able to have the microphone there otherwise.
    It works really well surprisingly.
    I also have the classic pop shield made
    from tights and a crocheting hoop.
    It's over twenty years old now and still going strong.

    That looks great. I’ll have to show this to my wife, she has the same problem.

  • @Philandering_Bastard

    Cool.

    Every artist I know has the same problem.

    I looked up one night and said to myself,
    'It's so obvious'.

    You'll get there.

    It took me awhile.

    Is that a block of tofu on your lamp base? For the midnight munchies,maybe? Btw, Ishmael, what was the Oscar nomination for? I won a Dramatists’ Guild Award for playwriting in 1969. Close as I got to stardom except for playing at The BlueNote.

    This looks great, and it looks like a working studio.
    You see so many pictures of super pristine and clean studios and that really just isn’t realistic, working studios are usually messy entangled cable and gear jumbles, I love that lived in, worked in feel to a studio or music room or whatever, it’s just real life.
    I’m in the middle (again) of rearranging my room, the main table where I make the videos and live streams is in a constant state of flux and change, but I’m trying to make the rest of it more of a stable environment, I’ll post some pics when it’s done.

    Thanks for sharing this, plus I love hidden object games, this would be perfect for that😊
    “Find a Star” find a “Find a Finger Cymbal” epic 👍

    That block is the battery pack for beat sensitive LED lights.
    Fun for making little video clips.
    I don't like tofu.

    The movies and documentaries that I have material on are

    'Wonders of the African World', by Henry Louis Gates Jr. around 1998/99

    Award winning and nominated movies are

    'The Wild Thornberries', movie which was nominated for an Oscar early 2000's
    and 'Duma', which won the Genesis Humanitarian Award for 2005 or 2006.
    I didn't pay any attention to them as I was busy doing other things
    when Peter Gabriel's music publisher called me.

    You will see my full name ,'Ishmael Pamphille', in the credits alongside Ayub Ogada.

    Yeah, you can tell I put that together over the years.
    I used to do a lot of freelance studio work back in the day
    before remote recording became possible so it had to be
    comfortable and non clinical except for the preamps
    for when I came home.

    I'm in there everyday except for when there's sunshine.

    I tried the super pristine studio thing.
    Didn't happen.
    As long as I can sweep out any dust,
    hoover the keyboards, and the floor I'm all good.
    Everything after that is organising.

    Doing the same thing.

    Looking forward to the pictures.

    When you walk into my music room, it's a bit like that.
    Every nook and cranny has something.

    Yeah the finger cymbals are fun.
    I also have a morrocan set.
    I have a whole box of percussion.

    I actually have a kazoo somewhere.

  • @Gravitas Yes, I hate dust, I have handheld rechargeable vac that get used pretty much everyday on all the gear, essential piece of studio equipment, mess I can live with happily but not dust😂

    So with you on that.
    Dust is like electronic noise, so annoying. 😂

  • I love finger cymbals. I really need a Kalimba - have always wanted one.

    Great workspace and love the ceiling!

    I don't hate it, it's simply not my first

    We're still friends regardless. 😘

  • Don’t try to placate me... make some great music instead!

    That certainly wasn't my intention.

    More great music turning up.

    Have a great week ahead.

  • You have some nice hardware behind the ipad, does any of that get used with your ipad recordings?

  • edited May 2020

    @Sandstorm said:

    Yep.

    TLAudio 5051 mk i - vocal, guitar and bass valve preamp with valve eq

    Lexicon MPX 200 - classic budget reverb from the 90's

    Art Multiverb Alpha Studio SE - Good for reduced rate reverbs and effects

    Behringer Ultramatch SRC2496 - I'm using as an AD converter for the Zoom U-44
    a bit overkill for the Zoom but it's there.

    Spirit Folio Notepad mixer - My first gigging mixer which I still use.
    The op amps need replacing which I've yet to do.
    Still it adds just the right amount of colour to
    the signal path if you know what you're doing.

    266A compressor - I used to have an Alesis 3630, I preferred this one.
    It's great on sampled drums.

    Joemeek C2 opto compressor - Wicked sound. Given to me by a great producer.

    iCon Pro Audio NeoPreamp - Perfect for my modified Realistic PZM's

    iCon Pro Audio Reotube G2X - A personal replacement for my original Reotube G2X
    from the President of iCon Pro Audio himself.
    It's nice on vocals, bass and guitar.

    Behringer Q802usb mixer My first iOS interface.
    Very useful for patching in things and
    providing output from my iPhone which I use
    in secondary position with the iPad providing the brawn.
    The inbuilt usb interface is noisy but passable.
    I got it for £20 on Gumtree so I'm not complaining.

    Wharfdale hifi speakers
    My version of Auratones and they
    My main monitors are out of sight in this photo.

    I'm about to get a patchbay soonish because some of
    the things I need to do require more flexibility.

    When I was desktop only I used to have them
    permanently patched into the desktop audio interface.

    Now that I'm iOS only eventually I will get an audio interface
    with more ins and outs than the Zoom U-44.
    My desktop interfaces are all FireWire, annoyingly so.

    Other than the stuff on my repair list, nothing gets wasted.

    My real instruments are up on the wall and behind me on stands.

    Yes the Alesis 3630 what a great budget compressor'/limiter. Used one of these a lot back in the day in a little recording studio my band used to practise/record demos in.

    Joemeek C2 opto compressor - Wicked sound. Given to me by a great producer.

    Always wondered about the Joe meek stuff. Is this an original made in England compressor? I heard the later ones lost a bit of character once they were made abroad?

    Was thinking about this so my hardware is all patched up ready to use when needed. I don't have much left after converting to IOS but still have my Roland XV3080, Roland D-20, D-110x2, Kawai K4 that I would love to have already set up for use. Also space is a problem in a bedroom studio! lol.

    @Sandstorm

    My Joemeek was made in the U.K before manufacturing went abroad.
    I didn't use any of the Joemeek stuff after it changed hands.
    When all of that was happening I was doing more freelance work.
    I had access to Avalon preamps then.
    Dreamy.

    Talking about manufacturing, TLAudio went down as well
    so I'm quite happy I got one of their original Ivory series.

    No where near as good as their top of the line stuff but it does the job.
    I'm keeping an eye out for their Mastering Compressor in the same range.
    Looks awesome and the signal path is perfect for warming up digital recordings.

    My stuff is good in principle, perfect for a home studio.
    No where near professional by my standards.

    Edit.

    Not the iOS platform to make myself perfectly clear.

  • @Gravitas I found a soundcraft spirit notepad at thrift store for $25 is that a good deal ? It’s new and in the box . It look like the one in your setup .

  • @MeatWalrus

    That’s a very good deal.
    The op amps would’ve aged nicely.
    If it is brand new, give it about a month to let it get it’s sound.

    Good find.
    Well done.

  • @gravitas . Yeah I picked it up they wanted a $100 but it was a half off sale and then he cut it in half again 👍🏼🙏🏻. Thanks for the feedback .
