Sampling off the internet with AudioShare, AudioBus, etc.
I'm early contender for The Captain Obvious Award of the Year with this one, but if you're looking for a way to sample off the internet with an iPad you can just use the mic in recording and jack up the iPad volume really loud. Also have to make sure you're in a relatively noise free environment, and it ends up being more like a field recording than a sample, but it get's the job done.
This discovery arose out of trying to figure how to get a sound I found while browsing with Safari for iOS into Cubasis. Captain Obvious came to the rescue!

Soundflower on a mac and old version of anytune on ios. The method you've described will lose many essential frequencies, add room boom other than adding ambient noise. That could be a good thing if it's what you're after.
An Audiobus enabled Browser perhaps?
If you could put Safari or another browser into the AB input slot, and then record into Audioshare that'd be fab.
I've just tried using Audioshare in AB input, connecting to its web browser, you can play web based files, but it does seem to want to stream the audio through AB, so unable to record into second Audioshare instance or MT DAW in AB output slot.
If anyone can make this work would be interested to hear
I think companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft, other than having vested interest themselves, are being continuously lobbied by media content copyright owners not to allow for recording of the stuff streamed off the internet. At least not easily. Sound flower is the only app I know of that does this on a mac and anytune clearly got pressurised by apple to remove that feature of which the app developers kindly let users know with a suitable splash screen.
All this makes me think of the current law making the use of samples of copyrighted material close to impossible to publish without infringement. Can't remember the terms but we're talking lifetime + 30 years or something similarly ridiculous.
The line in on the line6 sonic port works pretty well.
ask Jonatan about it, if anybody can figure out something he can, if it makes sense he'll add it to audio share!
Can't you put "system input" as the input slot in AB? I was doing this not too long ago to record samples off safari into Fieldscaper.
Isn't that via the system mic input? The same as @1P18
Idk it worked pretty well for me, but I was thoroughly mangling the samples.
Did you try it without headphones for feedback mangling, a new meaning for resynthesis.
Yep, I completely forgot about that little beast!
To get mono samples, you can use an iRig like device to take the output of any audio device with headphone output. To get stereo samples, you can use a USB audio interface and the same headphone jack on an audio device. Depending upon the website, you maybe able to download the audio file using various apps including audioshare or other apps which can convert between file formats.
Yeah I kind of liked that aspect of it. Made it a very old school sampler. Also made it very easy to do.
Clip Converter works well to convert audio from a video to an appropriate file. Having said that, I've had no luck finding the converted file on my iPad to open in Audioshare for example. This works though: iphone headphone out>direct in of audio interface(Alesis io dock)>record into Audioshare. I have a fondness for recording over dialogue that will sometime sit in the background so pristine quality isn't/hasn't been an issue.
Should have added: recorded into Audioshare on the iPad.
Wow, wicked stuff, public domain or not I love it. thanks!
@synthandson: u r welcome
When I open Loopy through ab and then back out and play a yt vid and cup my hand over the speaker of my 5s I can get great samples yo...
