How to convert Audio to Midi in Garageband by using Audiobus

edited December 2015 in General App Discussion

Hello everyone,

I have iPhone 6s Plus and trying to find a way to convert audio to midi with Audiobus in Garageband.
I run iSymphonic orchestra in Garageband by using Audiobus and it makes audio records as well... Is there any way to send midi signals inside Garageband by using Audiobus with a third party app?

Thanks

    You can't send MIDI out from Garage Band, but what you can do is use another MIDI app and send it's MIDI out to iSymphonic, and then record the audio in Garageband.

    Garageband has great limitations as an iOS DAW, which is puzzling after all this time. It's essentially an isolated dead end road, which is a shame because it could be really useful on iOS with just a few relatively minor additions.

    Apple and it's unfortunate strategies... Many thanks for your opinions.

    I use GarageBand to start stuff off. Often the idea is originated there. What I’ve given up trying to do is rescue any of it for further use. I use it to rough out the sketch, build a little maquette or prototype, practice the pacing of what needs to be where with placeholders. Then once it’s got something, even though by then it’s over into Logic Pro to look at and play with, I don’t attempt to use anything it made. I just start each piece all over again, manually, in a proper situation. It often doesn’t resemble what I sketched out, but it benefits from it.

    It remains one of the most accessible dumbed-down means of imitating music for the people.

    GarageBand is my only DAW (at this point) and with Audiobus compatibility and its nifty UI I can't much see wanting to move to any of the others I've auditioned (that maybe an iPad screen could make better). There are a number of things I'd love to see added - MIDI/control changes (at least THEIR version of it) as an OUT app for AB, more instruments, more onboard control over recorded audio - but it gets me where I need to be.

    You could try and run a Garageband track through MIDIMorphosis and send the midi to another app. May work.
    I use this kind of stuff with figure tracks and it works well, if the melody ain't full of FX and such :D

    Thanks for all comments... If i can solve issue about Audiobus with new iOS 9.2 i will try...
    Sampler which is inside GarageBand also helps for midi signals but sound quality is not good as much as audio recording....
