@trueyorky haha, good tip! Now if only I could convince my family to share 1 old device while I use the two newer ones :-) yours must me more impressed by your musical productions than mine are.
@funjunkie27 Good Tip!
Hey guys this thread made it to Palmsounds.

To get the most productivity out of your mobile audio system, put it in "airplane mode", so you don't spend half the day checking Audiobus forum, Synthtopia, Discchord, PalmSounds, iDesignSound, iOSMusician, Loopy Forum, Steinberg forum, Auria forum....
Then this thread wouldn't exist.
@smeeeth Hahaha!!! :-)
@mgmg4871 Interesting! :-)
Here's another tip. I've mentioned this previously in another thread, but since tips are being grouped here......
If space is at a premium like it is for me (I have an iPad 2 with 16Gb storage), and you want to have a sample library or loop library or whatever, consider converting the WAV files to high quality MP3s (or whatever format you choose). I used iFunbox as mentioned by @funjunkie27 above, and took all of the samples and loops out of the Drum Loops HD app, batch converted them to MP3s at 192kbps, and separated them into folders and then imported them into AudioShare. Yes, MP3s are lossy, but at a high enough rate, few people can hear the difference. AudioShare is getting FLAC soon too, so even lossless compression will soon be available. I went from an 800+MB app to a folder in AudioShare that takes up just under 100MB. That's a 700+MB savings, which is almost 1/16th of the total storage space on a 16Gb iPad!
Another idea (not originally mine) is to store loops on Dropbox instead of in AudioShare, to get even more storage savings...
"At high enough rate"yes but 192kbps is really not what i would call "high enough"
...ah, but for me in my current situation it is! :-) The point is that it can be reduced to whatever 'YOU' want to reduce it to, and with FLAC, you will be able to reduce your audio losslessly. ;-)
@mgmg4871 - Work at home? I thought you were a bridge painter. Do they bring the bridges to your house?
I do bridge painting for 6 months a year. Its seasonal and I'm getting old. Lol
Another tip: limit the number of items that Spotlight, iOS's universal search feature, indexes. The more items it sifts through, the more power it requires.
If you don't use FaceTime go to settings and turn it off. It keeps your camera active. Another resource hog, and it might be one of those big brother things. Lol
Cool! I didn't know that!
Steinberg (Cubasis tech support) just announced an update and included some useful tips. One that I hadn't heard mentioned on this thread was the idea to reduce release time to effectively reduce polyphony. I'm posting the quoted tips to keep them all together. Here they are:
There are several possibilities to avoid performance issues:
Reduce the number of instrument tracks (especially Micrologue) and effects used in a project.
Reduce the polyphony by lowering it in the setup and in every Micrologue track. Also lower your song’s polyphony requirement by reducing the release times of instrument tracks and the number of simultaneous notes.
Use as few apps simultaneously as possible.
If you use Audiobus, set the buffer size to 512 in the Audiobus app.
Use the freeze function to render instrument tracks into audio tracks.
Make sure to unload instrument apps correctly after freezing them (otherwise they remain active in the background).
Make sure there are several GB (ideally more than 20%) of free disk space available. Disk performance is reduced if the disk space is close to full.
Quit all audio and non-audio apps by double tapping the home button and swiping them up.
Reboot your iPad from time to time by holding down the home and power button for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Find a good balance of instruments and sounds that does not stress the CPU too much.
I'd like to add switch to Airplane Mode to the list
