I think AUM will be another great tool in addition to AudioBus. I know in the hardware world, I used to have many devices that could mix audio or midi in different ways.
One tool does not necessarily depose the need for another.
.
I answered in twitter as well, but will explain a bit more here: They complement each other! They share the same storage space, but you don't need AudioShare to use it. If you make recordings in AUM, and then install AudioShare, the user will see the AudioShare library already populated with an "AUM Recordings" folder.
There's some "open in" and document picker export options available for recordings directly in AUM, but with AudioShare the user gets the extended file management and sharing/transfer options that it gives.
You'll see on wednesday! And don't worry, the intro price is very affordable
Sounds like we'll find out on February 24th.
Ok. At the moment, I mostly use AudioShare for quick recording. It's my goto at this point. I've got several others that record, but AudioShare is quick, lightweight, and easy. And it seems to do an excellent job of auto-normalizing my field recordings, and converting to different formats or adding compression for web delivery.
So, won't most of that function be built-in to AUM? If so, would AUM replace AudioShare as an easy goto recorder, and just use AudioShare for file management? Or, will there be instances where it makes more sense to not use AUM and just go right into AudioShare for quick sample recording, etc.?
I would say AudioShare will still be the best choice for a quick recording where you don't need to do any mixing or processing at all. AUM records in WAV 16, 24 or 32 bits. 44.1, 48 or 96kHz. But there's no file conversion or trimming or fading etc. That's already in AudioShare, and they work perfectly in tandem
Really dig AudioShare and the AUFX. AUM is instabuy.
I like that there's a light, clutter-free option for the quickie stuff.
Another question, I don't own Remote yet since I'm not a musician and don't really need that much control to be able to trigger stuff on the fly. But it does looks cool enough to play with. Will AudioBus' Remote app work with AUM somehow? If so, can you describe a scenario in which a user could use Remote in the AUM environment?
You can use Remote to control the AUM transport and switch between apps in the Audiobus session. There's currently no extra remote triggers, but that might very well be added later.
Hmmm.... that would be cool. I'm thinking even with just the transport control and switching between apps in the Audiobus session, it might be worth having. thx!
For me it'll definitely be a compliment. While this seems to replicate some of the 'load and combine multiple apps' bones of audiobus, it doesn't support the AB connection panel or AB remote (for the hosted apps, that is). Those are key features for me.
Plus the editing and integration with other apps that have implemented the AudioShare SDK.
Can already imagine keeping AUM in the background and using AB Remote for channel muting.
I'm looking forward to it, but almost more to all you boffins putting it into some kind of momentary layman's language..
@j_liljedahl Thanks! Much appreciated!!
It's just a mixer! Ok, a modular one with a bunch of extra features but just a mixer at the end of it all.
I'll buy it the second it lands and I don't want to deter anyone from helping to send the little j_lillas to college but if you're a happy Auria user and can't identify a need for a specific feature in AUM, I'd just stick with the Auria Pro mixer. It's awfully nice. It's not quite as full featured as AUM but can do a lot of the core features—it just requires more resources to do it (that's only a presumption at this point, obvi). Of course, Auria Pro has a boatload of other features AUM doesn't have like automation and having your recordings appear on a multi-track timeline as soon as you're finished!
I WILL NOT FOR A MOMENT BE PERSUADED OUT OF MY INALIENABLE RIGHT TO SPEND AS MUCH MONEY AS HE WANTS ON ITEMS THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND BUT WILL COME TO LOVE ANYWAY!
@syrupcore Here's why I'm excited about it... I have Auria (as some of you know)
and I tried using the latest Auria as a mixer in AB. It worked fine, but as soon as I would get just 2 chains going with maybe just one effect going on each... the resources were shot, stuttering, freezing up and having to quit out and restart, etc. I didn't pay for the upgrade to the "Pro" version of Auria, but I can't imagine with all of Auria Pro's it's extra toys, that it's any less of a resource hog than the plain vanilla version.
So I got MiMix instead and mixed inside AB, then record to the lightweight AudioShare. That actually works better, more stable, and I can do more before the resources are spent. But, it's a little bit clunky.
With AUM, I can load up the apps I want to use in one hub, mix, and record all inside the same app without all the piecing together. Assuming that @j_liljedahl has written a sleek app with minimal resources hammered... I'm guessing it should allow the hardware a lot more breathing room for more apps + FX.
I'm using an iPad Air 2. It's possible that I haven't got it well optimized for Auria, but I don't know what else I can do other than make sure nothing else is open and that I do a regular hard reset every other day. Other than buying an iPad Pro. And that ain't happening anytime soon.
I know many will want to compare it to a typical DAW, and miss the timeline editor, but the focus with AUM is on a live workflow, and the routing flexibility. If you need a powerful but lightweight mixer but don't want to fire up a whole DAW environment, then AUM is there for you
A good live mixer is what I've been missing for my jamming sessions
Yes it's a completely different app to a DAW. Seems perfect for capturing live performances, practice sessions or as a song sketchpad.
I often use Loopy for sketching songs, this will offer a different approach, should be a lot more flexible.
I guess that when you change AUM tempo, the audioshare loops tempo won't change with it
That's what I was trying to say. You said it way better!
I might get it for my iphone. Be handy to sketch things out in it on the phone.
One thing I'm confused about is how it will work with midi. Will you need an external sampler of some kind? I'm assuming that is so. Or drive something like Thumbjam. And it will output notes, correct?
The built in file players change speed when you change tempo, so it stays in sync given that you have told it the original tempo of the file, or the number of beats in it if it's a loop. This also works when synced with Link.
Incredible ! I should go to bed now, wake me up went its out, I can't stand the wait anymore !
With MIDI control of everything, it'll be interesting to use a sequencer or something like midiLFOs/Oscilab to do mix automation (autopan, tremolo, beat synced effects changes, beat synced crossfading...).
Midi lfo should be a good friend of AUM, hope it gets link one day !
