old noob question
Been a little while away from linking my ipad up to Ableton - mostly just been making stuff in loopy then connecting the sound files and sequencing them separately in ableton.
Now I want to send audio from Ableton into my ipad, run it through some effects in Audiobus, and send it back into Ableton to record what I do. This seems pretty basic. I used to use audiomux which is now studiomux, and after 30 minutes of trying to make it work and looking around online, I still can't figure it out. 30 minutes is a long time in this day and age not to figure something out!
Again, it's been a while since I tried to do this, it used to work, not without hiccups, a few years back on Audiomux, but that doesn't seem to be clicking now. Any tips? I figure I'm missing something pretty basic, but a quick tip with your help could get me up and running fast.
Hopefully there's a sympathetic music maker out there.
Thanks!

I had my ups and downs with Studiomux. The midi portion works wonders, but the audio portion, it seemed to be hit or miss. I broke down and got an iConnectAudio4+ and have never been happier. Just today, I recorded a beefy bass synth patch from Sunrizer, straight into Ableton Live Lite. I can then turn right around, pipe the audio from Ableton back into my iPad using AUM, send it to whatever effects I want, then record the audio back into Ableton.
Thanks for your reply.
I have an apogee Duet, so I should be able to to go Lightning cable into that, just have to dig around for the cable, but I thought the latest version of El Capitan allows OS X users to bypass Studiomux or the need for interfaces altogether.
How do you receive audio from Ableton into Aum? What do you set in the input port that allows you to?
When you write, "I can then turn right around, pipe the audio from Ableton back into my iPad using AUM, send it to whatever effects I want, then record the audio back into Ableton."
is that all in one fell swoop? Like you're sending audio into Aum and from Aum back into Ableton at once (which is what I'm trying to do)? Or in separate steps?
Thanks again for your help, feel a little ridiculous with these questions that my sense is, everybody else has figured out, but I have to start somewhere -
@guidofranco I am on El Capitan but AFAIK the 2 way audio has not be implemented. It might be in the OSX Sierra update but I havent taken the plunge on it yet. I remember an eariler thread about Sierra but it seemed that it was still audio in only. No way to route audio to the iPad using only OSX.
Using my iConnectAudio4+ audio interface, I can route audio to and from ableton. Because I am only using the Lite version of Ableton, I can only have 4 in/outs at a time so I have to change my preferences depending on what I am doing.
My current setup, I have audio-to on track 1 going to Ext. Out 5/6, which I have routed inside of the ICA4+ to the iPad 7/8. Inside AUM I have 7/8 selected as input and then 7/8 selected as output. I can put whatever effect I want in the chain.
Back in Ableton I have another audio track that is listening to Ext. In. 5/6, which I have the audio from my iPad channels 7/8 being routed to 5/6 inside of Ableton.
I have send A blank and sending to master, that way I can turn the send on and hear the sound without the effect.
I guess you could do the same with a couple of Audio Interfaces but the iCA4+'s internal routing is amazing.
I am not familiar with the Apogee Duet so I cannot speak on it. I guess I should do video on this. I do want to do an Ableton Live Lite series since most ableton videos seem to be geared towards the full version.
same here, studiomux never worked well for audio. very unstable.
sadly, inter device audio is only one stereo channel from ios to mac, even in the developer betas.
