Mimix mixer for Audiobus what's your take on it?
in the days of IAA what's your take on Mimix? i tend to believe that Audiobus is a more robust technique to handle audiostreams. and MImix would be a perfect mixing hub...
Comments
Use it every day. It's a workhorse and pretty much essential if you play live or jam, because of the way it supplements AB.
Loved it , and absolutely essential , though I no longer use it since I got aum which suits the way I work better .
+1
would you mind elaborating on the advantages of AUM?
Main advantages would be the fact you can stack FX for each channel , plus the superb routing and bus options . Then there's the built in recording feature , EQ and file players . Hardware routing , State saving etc. After a couple of months use I would place aum in my top three essential music making apps . I'm not knocking the mix app , it did a really good job but aum works better for me as a mostly live jammer
Does AUM really support state saving? I have found that my presets in AUM do not save state in other apps...
No AUM does not support state saving per se at least as AB does it. It will obviously save the AUM configuration, which apps are connected etc. Jonatan wrote on the big AUM thread if you want state saving you need to use AB.
Yeah whatever , it saves the app configuration anyway but not the actual state of the individual app - unless you haven't used it since which is usually the case for me . It does all the other things I mentioned though which makes it far superior IMHO
Before AUM, I'd gone with MiMix. Also got MiMix Mini for iPhone. In the AudioBus environment, I would consider MiMix a must-have for sure. Well done and solid app.
I haven't found a use for it in the AUM environment yet though.
Yeah, so this is why MiMix and AB are still so valuable--in a live setting, I have the exact preset ready to roll across all apps. I do agree that AUM is way more powerful and useful than MiMix but it just doesn't hit the ease of use for my live setup.
I must say I had some latency issue with Mimix that I don't have with AUM also.
In a live situation (with external devices like a microphone or an external synth) it can be completely unusable...
Whatever
In practice the way audiobus handles digital audio seems to often work more dependably than IAA, for that reason plus state saving I could see mi-mix being useful.
What I would love to see is an integrated mixer from the audiobus team, they are in a unique position to offer integrated mixing and routing with state saving, for total recall of projects.
I liked MiMix and would still use it for more lightweight live setups if you could only choose what Audiobus input goes in which MiMix spot.
As has been said, the advantage is in ease of setup time, but not being able to choose what apps are on which faders is a deal breaker, and AUM is much more powerful anyway.
AUM can host AU's if that's important to you (it is to me).
The biggest difference for me is the ability to use AUM as a file player live. As a 2 person band, backing tracks are a requirement for us to play live.
The apps are quite similar, conceptually. AUM just adds another layer of value for me.
Does Mimix require the multi-route IAP for AB in order to do its stuff properly? I'm tempted by it because, although I love AUM, I also love AB's transport controls.
The thing that has me using AUM more at the moment is that its IAA sync brings apps together tightly....with AB, I get problems with apparent differences in latency between individual apps, so I can never get things as tight. I'm sure this is not actually the fault of AB, and it's down to the respective apps, but it is a shame as AB is otherwise a brilliant, simple concept.
Audiobus vs IAA reliability does come up a lot. But since Audiobus is IAA with a wrapper (as far as I know) then it can't be more reliable, surely it must be the same or even more likely to have stability problems with the extra wrapper? I feel it must come down to individual apps and how IAA/Audiobus has been implemented in each app.
unless Audiobus is a stripped down IAA and so more stable?
Mimix is great with Audiobus but I'm using AUM because it has more features.
