Bought AUM for full price and I doubt I need it...oh wait I do ;)
I wanted to support a great Dev and finally had some extra cash. I'm at work and haven't had time to test out AUM but I'm not sure I needed it due to my radio production mainly revolves around Auria and Audioshare.
Audioshare (along with Auria) is my most used audio app and hope to see future updates!
Thanks for great products @Kymátika

I didn't think I really "needed" it either. Was fine with AB and MiMix. But the more I discover what AUM can do... it's definitely a keeper. I got the sale price, but I'd have been plenty content had I paid full on this one.
Well, I've bought it because I thought I'd find it useful for my live playing but turns out I didn't. I'm happy to support the developer too. Had it been Retronyms it would have been an entirely different story
AUM kicks ass!
(IMHO)
I currently haven't a clue what to do with it, but I expect an a-ha! moment when I least expect it.
It's awesome already and updates are coming. I wouldn't worry too much if you don't find a need for it yet. You'll probably end up loving it eventually.
Absolutely love this thing as a super simple, rough-and-ready multitracker. Record stuff, it's in Audioshare and I don't even need to open it. Setup a file player track for playback of what I just recorded is like bouncing tracks, bus everything for a quick master mix.
The dynamics and pre/post options for sound processing along with the other IAA/AU options are extremely nice too.
I use AUM mainly for layering synths or mixing levels of drums, arps and solo played synths. I'm sure there are many more uses. What studio doesn't have mixers?
Took a long time for me to believe that Audioshare was going to be any real use....
There are a number of ways to use AUM. It's very flexible. Mixer, recorder, loop builder, synth stack builder, it goes on...
I'm currently using AUM along side Modstep / Fugue machine / Midiflow (for individual midi routing)
1) Load AU's into AUM 2x iSEM / 2x Viking
2) Pipe Fugue machine into Midiflow (Assign individual outs 1/2/3/4
3) Assign midi channel in AUM 1/2/3/4
4) I've setup CC templates in Modstep to control each channel (Volume / Send 1-3 + low Pass highpass this allows me to module all the parameters in AUM plus the AU
For me modulation in Modstep is super easy.
Having lots of fun with this setup.
I might post of video of the above because it is quite complex, but worth it!
Peace
If you wanna gift it, I'll take it in a second.
This.
And to a slightly lesser extent. That.
Yes, please...I'd love to see this!
Me too with extra me too.

Count me in with those that bought it on a whim then went... Wait a second, why do I need this?
same here,i haven't done anything with it yet although it's a brilliant app and i don't regret the purchase.I KNOW there will be moments where i exactly need the flexibility AUM delivers.But usually i don't like app hopping,i try to stay in the main DAWs.Makes iOS recording more enjoyable if you don't have to fix issues all the time (when you connect multiple apps) or don't have to do a lot of steps to open a session.
Has so many uses. I'm using alongside Modstep as well as one of my favourites currently. It's also great for incorporating hardware into jamming sessions which for me is becoming more and more important as my set up grows.
I've found several uses for it:
1) As a musical sketchbook. Like Loopy on steroids, you can use Loopy to record some ideas, then by routing the individual Loopy tracks through AUM you can do a lot more with them by adding FX etc...
2) As a lightweight recording and performance environment. For example my current SOTMC project is at a fairly advanced stage in Auria, with 35 tracks and lots of plugins active, so to record in more parts in Auria I would have to do some housekeeping (temporarily disable effects, set latency to 128 etc). It's easier to set a loop length in Auria, export a few bars and then load the file in AUM and record from there, with low latency and all my apps to hand. The other benefit of this is that I can record as many takes as necessary without cluttering up my Auria project. Once I have a recording I'm happy with I can bring it back to Auria for mixing.
3) As a practice tool, so I can easily play along with drum apps, or I can use my interface to record guitar and vocals simultaneously while passing each channel through it's own compression and EQ etc...
In the same boat here. I had read a few reviews that praised AUM as a fantastic mixer for those who use iOS for live performance. I firmly decided that I had no use for it, and would not purchase it. Then, I read a post from Jonatan reminding that the intro price ended March 1st, and in the last hour (literally) I panicked and hit buy. Just in case I ever need it, support the dev, etc.
So far, I have been using it mostly as a sketchbook. It's quick, and it works well. Last night I had Fugue Machine running Module through Crystalline, Patterning, and DrumPerfect Pro through Filtatron, all recorded into 3 separate tracks in Auria Pro, all running smooth like butter.
Its already become my most used app. Ive created a load of preset setups and i can have a whole bunch of synths and fx with custom routings loaded up in a couple of minutes. I started using it as a sketchpad for ideas but now i use it instead of garageband for finished stuff lol
It is one of those apps that can and will be used throughout the whole workflow from noodling to final production.
This app shines even more with a midi controller plugged in, I am now searching for one that has a keyboard and fader/knobs while still being small, and maybe Bluetooth ?
Also, with the upcoming update it will be even better! (Loop record...)
Here's what I like about AUM:
*Does what it's designed to do and does it reliably
*Allows you to link together apps in the hodge podge world of ios in intuitive, reliable ways and then capture the results in a useful way
I like it for the low-CPU effects that are built in and available on each track.
Once you start to explore those... thats when you stop doubting that you need it ;-)
Amazingly (or not
) I have never done this. When you say 'set a loop length/export a few bars' do you mean highlight a certain section and copy that to the pasteboard or is there some cleverer trick you're using? Forgive my foggy morning head. It's been raining for days here in Austin, most unusual.
Yup, everything sounds better in AUM--and it's so much easier to get there.
The forthcoming 'loop record' sounds sweet, but a shame no midi clock send will happen.
@Hmtx agreed. The filters are especially lovely
Re: discussion about recording loops in Auria and other places - one of the things first on @j_liljedahl's update list is to record fixed length loops. This will remove a step in the process and be a great workflow enhancement IMO. It's my understanding that fixed length loops will automatically get stored in AudioShare and could easily be brought back in to AUM's file player for further manipulation.
1) Set the snapping in Auria to "bars".
2) Double-tap at the top of the timeline (on the black bar where the measure numbers are) and draw out a locator range, you will see the blue highlight over the timeline. Set it to the number of bars you wish to export.
3) Go to Menu --> Mixdown, and make sure to set "Locator Range Only" and "Audioshare" as your destination. This will export the whole mix for the loop region you've defined straight into Audioshare. A good thing to do is to add the BPM at the end of the file name, for example "My Song Chorus 100bpm".
4) Close Auria, launch AUM, create a new track set to the File Player, assign your exported mixdown as the file, set it to loop. Set your bpm in AUM to match your project and the file player will loop it perfectly (it uses the bpm number in your file name to loop sync).
5) Add new tracks and record. Once you're happy just copy and paste the new recordings from Audioshare back into Auria.
