Now I have four apps with IAA and no idea how to use it.
Which apps do you have?
@juanconcho You have for apps with IAA acting as nodes. You now need an app to act as a host. There are only one or two of those available at the moment. Soon, Auria and Cubasis will also be able to act as hosts as well. As more hosts become IAA host compatible, you will more and more be able to make use of IAA. :-)
I have nLog, djay2, magellan and nave. I've played around with them all open and don't see what IAA is all about. You'd think they might give you a hint but I guess it's the Apple way: force people to discover rather than give a little documentation.
Thanks audiojunkie for the info. Don't know where you're getting it from, though.
Hi @juanconcho . Some of Audiojunkie's info is coming from places like this (I assume - its been posted to the forum here and I know he's a regular);
http://auriaapp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=11079
There's more at places like here:

and

It looks like there's lots of good stuff coming soon.
The only host app I know of is Looptical. You need a host.
thanks boone51. I read some of this general stuff but how do I know, for example, that nLog is a "node" when they themselves offer zero info? The specific apps trumpet IAA in their updates and then give you nada. I guess when Auria updates I'll learn through trial and error.
@juanconcho There are several threads here in the Audiobus forum where Inter-App audio and iOS7 is talked about. Within those threads, many people have posted information and links to information from developers who have been released from there NDA when iOS7 went public. This is where I and many others have been getting our information. Rolf, the developer of NLog Synth, had some very informative posts on Twitter as well that were collected and posted here and are very good reading for insights into what is going on with IAA. Also, there are several blogs that have published great posts about the details of IAA. Check out back posts from PalmSounds and Discchords as well as several others for more details.
The short version is this: There must be a host app that is able to load the node apps. For example, Auria or Cubasis would be considered host apps. Node apps would be apps like NLog Pro, Magellen, or AUFX:Space, for example. These apps are able to be loaded by the host app, and be controlled and run from within the host app, similar to a plug-in or similar to the way that Audiobus allows you to load a host and an input device. Audiobus and InterApp Audio are similar in purpose, but different in the way they do what they do. If you think of InterApp Audio as the iOS7-native way of communicating between audio applications, and Audiobus and JACK as alternative ways of doing the same thing, it will help you wrap your head around it.
So, At this point, iOS7 has just come out that has the capability to allow InterApp Audio (IAA as we like to call it). Now, the application developers need to apply that capability to their software to make use of it. Many instrument and effects apps developers have added the capability to have their apps be nodes in hosts that support IAA. Now, we are waiting for more DAWs to add the IAA hosting capability. Everything is new and takes a little time.
So, for now, my advice would be to not worry about IAA for a while. Go about your music making as you did when you were on iOS6 (I still am on iOS6 :-) ).
I hope this makes things a little more clear to you. :-)

Edit: I see @boone51 and @mgmg4871 beat me to responding while I was writing this huge tome! :-)
Edit2: One way to know whether something is a node or a host is to look at its purpose. Is the app's primary function an instrument or an effect? If so, it is almost certainly a node. Is the app a DAW? If so, it is likely a host. That is mainly the gist of it. :-)
