Does anyone know how long will be on sale?
This app looks cool but i dont get it at all is like audiobus on steroids?
I purchased it today and I think it's a great app but I also think people need to be aware that it isn't Audiobus. It's a way to mix apps, apply some basic effects and record the output, and it also has mid routing that works really well.
Audiobus has some advantages. It's quicker and easier to get audio from one app to another in Audiobus, and and I find Audiobus remote indispensable for my workflow, AUM doesn't have this. AB also gives me the ability to start and stop all my connected apps which is a big deal.
Honestly with AB, studiomux and now AUM there are so many routing options I'm having a hard time keeping it all straight.
Brilliant words...and as of today even more relevant. I hope Jonatan had a chance to see those words in action.
Yep - he seemed to enjoy the shoutout
This is going to take some getting used to. Multi tracking is a whole different thing with this app, and I'm not quite sure I'm doing it right. Seems like a lot work to record a track, then pull that track into another new channel, then record another track. It definitely is not a daw. But it's fast, it's beautiful, and a killer job of layout between iPhone and iPad.
I just spent an hour playing in AUM and I just wanted to say how great it is in so many aspects! Well thought out and easy to figure out (the simple stuff so far i tried anyway), looks great, sound quality is superb - adding some of the built in filters or stereo imaging or limiter makes the sounds so much better! And also was very pleased to see it running nice and smooth on my ipad4! I was running Loopy with 2-3 loops playing, midisteps sequencing iSem as an AU in AUM, 2-3 file player loops, and a few filters/limiter/stereo imaging on 3-4 tracks - all that and the CPU only read on average around 20-25% - except a couple patches in iSem bumped it up to 40-45%. (This is entirely acceptable i think for a 4th gen ipad) And forgot, Audioshare was open in the background - which is another great thing about this - the integration with AUM and AS. It was super simple and quite fast to record a loop from the iSem and then trim it so it looped inside AS and bring it back in to AUM. When the feature is added to set a loop length to record - that will be even greater! So far the only little thing I wish it had was a scale conformed keyboard - but I'll get by. So a hugh thanks to @j_liljedahl for a stellar release!
@rickwaugh Just swipe to the left to expose orange arrow and tap to eject.
Does anyone know if the MIDI routing allows you to map different MIDI channels to different instruments, e.g if an external sequencer sends MIDi on different channels?
OMG, can't believe I didn't try that. Lol. Tx @mgm4871.
It kinda depends hon ow you play. I do a lot of live mixing from a bunch of different sources and this is a dream come true! it works perfectly with the hugsmungous audioshare so I'm in heaven right now

I've had 2 Voice Racks going, but had some rough sounds on some presets and an even higher load.
I'm a bit concerned that some prior used FX keep showing in the midi selector. Maybe this is due to AUMs ability to load the prior used set.
Seems to myself that it's almost essential to restart my iPad before using AUM, to be on the safe side.
Couldn't find anything. For external app is pretty easy since you can and should route externally. It becomes pretty a problem when managing multiple instance of iSem AU
Yep, that's my experience too. The same is true for some other apps I tried to open directly from AUM, namely Frekvens & Nils; they are prone to crash like that but work perfectly if I open them in standalone mode before pulling them into AUM. Can live with this.
I have to open Frekvens first too but most of my fx and apps work fine launched directly

When you solo a track that outputs to a bus, you need to also solo any bus-receiving-channels that you wish to hear. AUM does this automatically if you solo the track that sends to a bus, but not the other way around, so you'll need to solo both the bus channel and the file player channels.
I'm soon going to start making some basic tutorial videos, but also hoping bloggers will do some more in depth video reviews and tutorials!
Two instances of Voice Rack FX gives around 29% on my iPad Pro too.
Two instances of Blamsoft Zero Reverb gives 4 %.
Two instances of Blamsoft F-16 filter gives 30 %.
So it varies, each app has their own CPU resource needs, even from the same developer.
It's all mentioned in the built-in help, tap the menu icon and HELP.

I know it's fun trying to learn an app without reading any documentation, but really! You'll miss out on some features if you don't
There's no built-in MIDI filtering or channel splitting like that, but you can of course route the same MIDI source to a bunch of IAA/AU apps and then set up each app to only listen to a specific channel from that source.
Wow.
Best purchase for a long time
This thing rocks, little things like when you hold on a channel and you zoom out allowing you to move your channels around.
Only problem so far for me is ikaosilator, having big problems with that app
Thanks, now then, let's get on with even more routing, this is so flexible I think it's my imagination slowing me down.
This is the next glue app, just like audiobus, essential and fun....
Peace love and beats
This is actually an indication that the apps are still running! A problem with Inter-App Audio is that it can launch apps in the background without switching to them (which I think is good), but it also can lead to bad behaving apps to keep using CPU in the background, without the user knowing that the app is actually still running - because: if the app was never foregrounded (switched to), it will not show up in the double-home-button-tap multi-task view..
To avoid this, I make a habit of always making sure to switch to node apps at some time, and to swipe them out of the multi task view to terminate them when done. You can terminate them while still connected in AUM, it will detect this and show them as red striped, and then just eject them afterwards.
Right, actually I realize now that most AU's don't have a channel selection option in themselves! So a MIDI channel filter selection on MIDI destinations in AUM is certainly needed. Will look into this for a future update.
This is a bug in Frekvens and I've been in contact with Erik Sigth already, he's working on it!
Congratulations to all of us on such a huge app release! Instantly purchased it as it became available in Ukrainian App Store yesterday noon
Tried to integrate it with my hardware setup yesterday (Octatrack, A4, Strymon pedals, iConnectmidi4+ etc).
One thing that would be great to add is the AUM to be MIDI clock slave to my hardware (Octa is a Midi clock sender). Right now the IAA apps are receiving clock from AUM host, and I could not find a way to feed the clock from Octa.
Maybe that's something that could be added in future releases?
As for the iOS-only setup — it's kinda Audiobus killer for me. I am using mostly IAA- and Link-enabled apps to play with. And AUM makes my iOS playground so much easier to organize than AudioBus.
Did you order that with the Beer and Food button ?
There is midi Midi Linc Sync app that does the job extremely well. You feed the midi clock to it, then it distributes timing via link on your iOS device, or viceversa
Check out the app "MIDI Link Sync", it can convert from MIDI clock to Link. You could then get your Octa to control the Link session.
Great! Its no problem really though both great apps
)
@j_liljedahl
One thing that caught me out was having no MIDICLK in, and iSpark not having Clock In ability when loaded as an IAA, I am using MIDICLK to sync iSpark with Launchpad, what I am having to do now is use the Midi Lync Sink app in order to do this when using AUM, no biggie, it's just another app that needs to be running and setup each session, It would be nice if AUM accepted MIDICLK.
EDIT : I've seen the comments about the above in the other thread now please ignore
A couple of minor things that would make life easier but not causing any issues
Having the ability to re-order tracks would be really useful
Having an option to only show bus tracks would be cool too, and on a bus track have the option to show/hide the tracks routed to it. So for example you could have a Drums bus track which is shown and you only see the individual drum tracks when you want to.
Really nice so far
My Wife would outright ban such a device!
