Video..AUM, Audiobus, AB Remote, LINK, DrumJam, Fugue, Gadget, Cubasis, Record
A friend of ours called Nathan suggested I make a video using multiple apps in AUM and Audiobus and then show how you can record all of them into something else.
I chose Cubasis because I am most familiar with that DAW.
As you will see things like this are never without their problems.

Good to see a "warts and all" recording like this! I was starting to think why use AUM in there and not straight into Cubasis, but I think you started to address that later in the session.
Great video. It gives an idea how flexible making music on iOS has become. But it also shows what a hassle it is to connect all those apps. Especially when you have loads of apps (synths/ fx) to choose from and searching for the right ones I think your better of working on a laptop.
Yes, nice to see the perils and pitfalls of trying to get all these apps playing nicely....an amazing that they do play, albeit with a little perseverance.
Thanks, it's always a bit risky doing something like this from scratch but good to see the problems that we all face everyday making music with technology, I don't think I'd have the balls to do this live though, I'd be a wreck
Woah, only four minutes in and a question has been answered already: THAT's why you have AudioBus Remote.
Seriously, I could watch videos like this for days on end. So much more interesting than the videos that don't show the connections being made before the music starts. What I would have like to have seen is Fugue driving four different synths!
Question about DrumJam: Can you create patterns? Or is it like the Studio Drummer gimmick in GarageBand that can only play preset loops?
I did a video just for the Fugue Midi routing not too long ago, here it is
Nice video doug, thanks for sharing. Does pressing record in AUM mean you don't get the annoying gap at the start.
Also what iPad are you using? Is that a pro?
Pretty sure he's using one of the minis....
The loops half of DrumJam is a collection of individual percussion instruments, with about 20 pattern variations for each. They are all 2 bar audio recordings (not sequences). Mixing and matching any of them results in something new, and you can save presets of them. There isn't a song mode yet, but you can switch presets live using MIDI program changes. You can also set up auto-randomize to switch variations or instruments randomly, and you can lock any to prevent them changing.
The live pads portion is designed for interactive playing (or via midi control from other controllers, drum apps or sequencers) and has some repeat quantization features to make tapping and dragging around sound good synced to the loops or external clock. All the kits there are deeply velocity layered. There are also some interesting FX you can use there, also with some randomization features.
It's an Air 2
oh. my bad. good for me though since i own an air2 as well. so pretty much anything you do
i can do on mine
Thanks for the clarification. For some reason, I have an unreasonable resistance to premade loops. Although I have no problem at all with sampling a chunk of the Meters, say. I guess there's some hangup about curation vs. prefabrication? But this doesn't sound like that at all. Also, compared with the love affair with Soft Drummer, I find these loops actually sound like a drummer, where Soft Drummer seems all the more mechanical despite (or because of?) its accurate sounds.
OK< END OF THREAD HIJACK HERE.....
