Personally my history on iOS started especially making fun with small audio apps with special interfaces and there where loads of this kind of experimental apps in the beginning. Of of my favorites was soundythingie. But quite soon there also came apps that imitated real world stuff as keyboards, etc. And there came small DAWs. I stepped also on this bandwagon that imitated the developments of OSX and Windows. Cubasis came, midi became more and more implemented in apps, you got softsynths (Magellan, Animoog, iMini, etc. ) that you again could use in host apps like Cubasis. But I soon discovered that the workflow, especially with switching between all those fullscreen apps was much slower than on a computer. Although I know that lots of people like working and tying together all those apps, it's just to complicated and slow with iOS. I think loads of developers make or made the mistake to redo the experience of how music is made with host midi apps/ daw on regular computers. I think search for alternative and fast ways that do the touch iOS platform right is the way to go. AB and also Ableton LINK are the way to go for me. You can easy link a few apps or put an effect to them and they work without a hassle. As said for me iOS is not a platform that should work like or imitatie what computer DAWS do, it just works faster and you so much more space on a PC.
Let me also quote in this positive thread
what I wrote in an ANR article a little while back:
"iOS versions and audio technologies
Although it’s a little aside, an article like this would not be complete without mention of Audiobus as it’s been crucially important to the growth of iOS as a professional music platform. ... When Audiobus was released it kicked iOS music production into high gear. It allowed music apps to communicate with each other so that one can for example send the output of a synth through several FX apps and then into a track in a DAW very easily. ... Between iOS 5 and iOS 7 there was a huge acceleration in the number of music apps being produced, largely as a result of the possibilities that Audiobus’ interconnectivity opened up. In the studio, using the iConnectMIDI2+ and iConnectMIDI4+ in conjunction with Audiobus allowed me to run complete Audiobus chains as outboard FX as well. Amazing! "
I suppose it's possible to function without thumbs, but iOS music without AudioBus and AUM would be like that for me.
@Sebastian great news on Audiobus 3. I know you have all thought long and hard on iOS MIDI implementation so It is very encouraging to hear you moving forward with it and including Johannes Dörr. Hopefully there will be wide adoption of TAAE2 by developers as well. I feel much better.
We mustn't forget the new AB3 toaster slot, there so we can all enjoy hot crumpet as we compose.
But seriously, it's great to see all the positive responses, all welcome reminders for our friends at AB just how much we value thier work.
Mmmm, wouldn't it be nice if Gadget supported midi out in AB3... wink hint nudge hope
I've been using AudioBus for guitars and bass tracks in Auria and MultiTrack DAW from day one. I still don't know the first thing about midi.
I may not use AB a LOT, but it is indispensable to me when I do need it & of course it will NEVER leave my iPhone.
Audiobus is app number one. First on my devices, last off.
I'm also shitting my pants in anticipation for AB3.
Can't wait for Audio Bus 3:MEGABUS
I had a dream that AB3 came out and Gadget could use it to route midi sequences to any AB-capable app. It was a beautiful thing.
I'd hoped that the mystery new developer was @JohannesD! That is fantastic news. Will MIDIFlow basically be built into AB3?
Audiobus united BOTH developers and users. You can't deny significance of its impact on ios music apps scene.
As for IAA, it's just Apple doing it again and again: watches how enthusiasts do something new, and then comes up with something similar. You know, i was very angry when Apple released Garage Band on iOS with aggressive PR like it was "the first of its kind" while it was NanoStudio who did that "app that lets you create multitrack song", if not earlier (smth by Yonac? i forgot).
THOUGH, maybe not much people here are into music apps since the earliest days, so idk. Before Audiobus, before CoreMidi support, before background audio/multitasking etc. I remember those years, which were unique, but it's great how far we went from there.
@Qmishery I remember those years. Tim @discchord still had hair back then! I remember being concerned about GB's pricing more than anything else. Instead of undercutting music app developers, it seems to have expanded the market.

Yes. It is pitiful that Apple don't recognise, both intellectually and financially, just how much AudioBus has done for IOS music apps, and how many compatible apps must've sold because of its existence.
AB3 core midi ,can't wait
I really only use AB when recording my guitars. Otherwise I tend to record apps through IAA.

Fair enough. But as you prove, AB is a very useful part of your workflow.
It won't be built into AB3 but we're working very closely together with Johannes and he's going to release new AB3/MIDI apps when we launch Audiobus 3.
