Thanks for such a great app.

I tried to show my wife what all the fuss was about, but she said surely it can't be better than the smiley face I did with your beans on toast

Did you order that with the Beer and Food button ?

My Wife would outright ban such a device!

But, it could have a smiley as the icon, for ordering smiley beans on toast

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

See http://kymatica.com/aum#faq

(Drag a channel down, for example by grabbing the output node, then left/right)

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.

Interesting idea! Will give it some thought.

Ahhh missed that one, I tried using the input node but not the output, thanks

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.

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 )

Can you give me a glimpse into what genre you tend to work in?

This was worth it just to be able to multitrack on my iPhone. And damn, it's a beautiful thing. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to either delete an insert after I have put one in, or reorder them, both rather essential. This will not be the center of my recording universe, but it's a lovely thing for doing sketches on the phone. Now I just have to decide if I'll buy Kymatica's effects, which is actually a no brainer, as they sound like they're good, and the group price is cheap. I'm also still missing essentials like being able to edit audio files. I know I can buy more stuff, but I have Auria Pro, and it does it all in spades. Still, all in all, I like how this is going. It's a different concept, trying not to be all things to all people, but being the glue in the middle.

@rickwaugh Just swipe to the left to expose orange arrow and tap to eject.

This works for removing the input - but how does one remove a filter effect on a channel? I tried holding and tapping and moving - but only got a pop up to move the filter Pre or Post - no remove option...

It's the same. Swipe it left to reveal the eject button.

To remove an empty effect slot, tap it and choose "REMOVE EMPTY SLOT" at the end of the list.

Just for the people sitting on the fence, I am still running the old version of audioshare with the browser export function still working. Thought I was gonna be forced to upgrade audioshare but all good and old version working super fine.
Now go and buy aum!!!!!

@j_liljedahl @mschenkel.it Thanks guys, Midi Link Sync helps!

I have a little suggestion:
For projects with a lot of channels and using a MIDI controller it would be nice to have an option to see more tracks without having to pan left and right. Maybe there could be another mode with reduced size per track and a way to hide unneeded buttons like in Ableton Live? Would be really nice to be able to see 8 tracks in one screen sometimes.

I liked the way the mixer view was in Cubase Sx 3, where there were different display modes for the mixer so you could have just skinny faders, or wider faders, or half height faders and upper half FX sends/inserts, or just effects sends inserts and no faders at all, you could change this for the whole mixer and then also individually on a single track. it meant that you could maximise the screen real estate for what you were focussed on at the time.

I have only toyed around with this for about 8 minutes with the handful of apps I have on my new phone (iDensity processing the file player, iPulsaret, Mitosynth), but AUM is unbelievable and ludicrous.

Coming from a DJ perspective, I've tried assembling live-mix workflows with multiple Audiobus channels, MiMix, and/or MTS, and this is the only solution that seems specifically designed for people like me.This is everything I wanted and didn't even know I wanted. The AudioShare file player integration, the built-in dynamics & stereo & filters, even the built-in keyboard with note lock. I can't even talk about the tempo sync & loops or I'll hyperventilate (so glad I was recording all my bpms in AS). The whole app ecosystem just snapped together like LEGO for me.

A big part of this is also how fast & fluid the UI feels, not to mention pretty.

I'm headed to Finland soon for a residency, and I can't wait to get lost with this in the forest. Thank you SO much!

Had a few minutes playing with effects sends... so SO very good for live manipulation. I love this, like I knew i would.

Did anyone got DFX working on AUM? Tried the usual launch/swipe kill/ reboot /hard reboot but DFX seems to work only in AB. I also tried inside audioshare with no luck.
I really love that AUM opens all the apps automatically when loading a session but can we save the app state (aka AB?)
Also I was surprised that AUM records ,separately every channel (yeah!) but a "record mixed output" button is essential (unless I somehow miss it)

1)yes. DFX didn't load from AUM but once I loaded it up manually(and figured out I had to turn loop mode on in AUM) everything was fine
2) no, session state saves aren't available for IAA loaded apps

3) it is pretty easy to setup a sub-master bus and then record it as any other channel. AUM external output is meant to be run into something else with the ability to record even if it can output to you speakers directly

carol

Seem to have a problem saving sessions, I had a great groove going with several isems and ispark, saved the session but when I reloaded it it was totally different (

mschenkel.it

Save your patches internally in the devices before quitting. It is a good practice also to back up in the case you fuck it up mangling with parameters

JohnnyGoodyear

I could have sworn the idea of mangling the parameters was to fuck it up

Any comment on this, @j_liljedahl?

I'm loving the app and like the rest of the Kymatica apps that I own (everything but your effects) it's great. Since it seems to be a mixer aimed at recording on the fly I'm digging the built in keyboard but...I'm missing the mod and pitch wheels. Programming BlamSofts Viking had me wanting a mod wheel because of the modulation bus. However, Aum is worth every dollar. Just like Sector, BitWiz and AudioShare. If you ever add more audio editing power to AudioShare and make it an IAP I will purchase it. IOS needs a decent, straight forward audio editor. I use Hokusai and it works but I would love to keep it in AudioShare. Jonathan your apps always fill a need and are well designed. Right now my definition of Kymatica is instabuy.

Bluetooth problem - I used Gadget in AUM and afterward trying it on its own the bluetooth wouldn't connect, not even with other apps. Had to re-boot the ipad air and all was well.

How could I use this app in conjunction with a DAW?

chisel316

This app is fantastic! It reminds me of the Scope software used to configure my Creamware (now Sonic Core) audio interface on the PC. The first thing I did was load Viking as input, add some saturation from the built-in effects, load Vocal FX with some chorus/reverb, pull up the built-in keyboard and play! I love how the AU plugins use vector graphics and are scalable. I noticed that only one AU plugin UI is shown at a time. It would be cool to have multiple windows open at once.

I'm using AUM ->Studiomux ->Reaper (input fx slot) on Win8

Studiomux has 8 IAA Stereo tracks available, but AUM only has 4 IAA Stereo tracks available to route...which is a strange limitation.

AUM does not have 88.2Hz sample rate available, which makes syncing with Wordclock at 88.2Hz a pain to put it mildly.

Switching between Studiomux and AUM is well catered for.

I encountered quite a few apps that didn't have the AUM switching icon available, including Yamaha Synth, Soundprism Link, Modal Pro, Beep Bop, Audulus...so far.
