Inter-App Audio (again)

edited June 2013 in General App Discussion

Once again, inter-app audio is featured on the slide for the new iOS7 SDK...

Could it be for real this time?

    I didn't see it mentioned in the keynote.

    Maybe they consider Audiobus the answer to Inter-App audio.

  • buskerbusker

    It was in the list of new API items.

    It will be interesting to see what developers make of it. The iOS 6 SDK announcement had it too, but nothing came of it. Surely with all of the noise the Inter-app audio posting created last time, they will have something of more substance this time......it would be very odd not to have something.

    Interesting! I just found this in a comment on Tim Webb's Discchord blog page:

    From the dev member center:

    Inter-App Audio

    The Audio Unit framework (AudioUnit.framework) adds support for Inter-App Audio, which enables the ability to send MIDI commands and stream audio between apps on the same device. For example, you might use this feature to record music from an app acting as an instrument or use it to send audio to another app for processing. To vend your app’s audio data, publish a AURemoteIO instance as an audio component that is visible to other processes. to use audio features from another app, use the audio component discovery interfaces in iOS 7.

    Very interesting @audiojunkie, so did Apple buy out Audiobus or make their own thing?

    Rumor time: I did hear Michael tweet something about being on the VIP list at WWDC...

  • P4cm4nP4cm4n

    If only this makes us leave YouTube while reading in another app... Lol

  • P4cm4nP4cm4n

    It'll just probably makes "cheaper" for cpu to make audio transfers I guess...

  • SebastianSebastian

    Hey guys, please remember that we (and any other developer) can't talk about this since we're under NDA.

  • AudiojunkieAudiojunkie

    Ooh, speculation time! :-). OK Sebastian, When it was announced last year, you stated that Inter-App audio didn't worry you guys in the least. Since you were able to make a comment like that last time, I figure it wouldn't be breaking any NDAs to give your opinion this time around....Do you still feel the same--not worried in the least?

  • AudiojunkieAudiojunkie

    By the way, I am not trying to stir up any trouble, I just want to know if this is anything we should concern ourselves with.....Audiobus has been great!

  • SebastianSebastian

    It's tricky. We're still trying to wrap our heads around it.

  • AudiojunkieAudiojunkie

    Honest answer. I can accept that. Thanks! :-)

  • TedBPhxTedBPhx

    This has me wondering if I should call a personal moratorium on music app purchases until it becomes clear when and if an app will support the new. But I don't know. Developers need support to keep up the constant improvements and now they need to worry about retrofitting. Let the inner optimist reign. Picked up Galileo yesterday.

  • HmtxHmtx

    I'm more on the optimist side. we do know a few things:

    when ATastyPixel release something new, they get it right (remember how long it took for Audiobus, and how awesome it worked from v1.0)

    iOS 7 is now in the hands of devs, so we can be sure Sebastian and Michael are hard at work on doing something great with the inter-app audio features.

    And if they are obligated by NDA, hopefully that means they're working with Apple in some way, and we can therefore assume Audiobus will integrate well within or alongside the new inter-app audio standard in iOS 7.

    All that to say, I'm not worried about Audiobus at all. It looks like it can only get better, which is remarkable because its already outstanding.

  • AudiojunkieAudiojunkie

    Here are my thoughts on things. Almost everything I have and use has Audiobus. I don't think all of my apps are going to suddenly stop working or being compatible with iOS7 or Audiobus. There may be incompatibilities, but as with iOS 6, they will most likely get fixed (at least by the most active developers in the music scene). I would imagine that Audiobus will develop a way to be compatible with iOS 7's Inter-app audio. This much I feel it will be safe to assume. Most likely, what apps you use will still be usable in the way that you currently use them. I would imagine that DAW software ie Auria, Cubasis Meteor, Beatmaker 2, etc will more than likely incorporate Inter-app audio as well as remaining compatible with Audiobus, so that you will be able to use that technology as well within the same DAW (The same thing is happening with JACK right now with some apps and tools). In short, I think everything will remain as is for us users.

    I do, however, suspect that Inter-app audio has the potential of becoming the new standard because of how it seamlessly incorporates audio and MIDI straight into the DAW. I also read that it has the ability to manage opening and closing of apps in the background (like we've been wanting for Audiobus), so for the end user/consumer (ie You or me), it will be nearly as seamless as using VSTs in a Desktop DAW. It appears to be a very elegant solution from what little I've been able to track down and read. :-)

    I suspect that Audiobus and JACK have the potential to continue surviving, provided they maintain backwards and current compatibility with the trending methods, and provided they continue to innovate.

    ...just my $0.02 opinion. ;-)

    Interesting article from discchord on Inter App Audio

  • AudiojunkieAudiojunkie

    @JuniorPops Very interesting new information! Exciting things ahead! :-)

  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]

    So we will finally get VST esque support on iOS :)

    Interesting to see what the Audiobus team comes up with.....
