I'm really not impressed by the update.Besides exporting aif files there's just nothing you couldn't do before with audiobus or even Audiocopy.
No Midi for the IAA Instruments nor the ability to use IAA effects on the internal instruments or audiotracks.Great....not.
@Crabman - Yes, no processing internal GB instruments is pretty wack.
You can use 'open in' > share.
this lets you export an uncompressed wav file, from garageband to cubasis.from there you can do a cubasis to cubasis with echopad in the middle.
A long winded work around but until they change things...

I'm pretty sure this is intended. Otherwise an IAA effect node could tap into the raw output of a track and do stuff with it, like recording it or sending it to Audiobus.. It fits with their concept of GB as a destination-only. But yes, pretty limiting with regards to effects that they can only be used while recording live signals.
Letting you render and export uncompressed tracks to apps like Audioshare, Auria and whatever else supports aiff is definitely a step in the right direction. But I really hope they expand the IAA/AB, I'd love to put those strings through AUFX Space, and the guitars + echo pad ..:/
I think Jonatan is absolutely right unfortunately.They had more than enough time and chances to do it but nope...it will never ever happen,i'm pretty sure now.
Another workaround for getting effects into GB instruments is to use open in function in GB, and open recorded GB track in Beat Time (which is IAA supported) and play it back into GB from Beat Time with effects via IAA. What would be cool is if the AB team found a way to route the output back into the input and have 2 output slots. I know that sounds crazy. Lol
Yea rendering an uncompressed track to Audioshare/another host and put it through AUFX etc will work, or the above beat time thing if you want the tracks back into GB. But having it run through these high end IAA effects in real time would lift GarageBand with its smart instrument interfaces and high quality samples to a different level. But on the other hand, that might have a negative impact for other developers since Apple basically gives it all away for 5 bucks..
BTW just a quick update on that mini-mystery regarding how GB knows which users paid for the app vs got it for free. Turns out that iOS 7 has a new API that lets developers look at the purchase receipt for the initial app download. It helps detect piracy and also lets devs offer different things to users depending on whether they paid for the app or got it for free. Since this is open to 3rd party developers, this means GB didn't use any secret APIs and all is well again on iOS
How's that affect maintaining compatibilty with earlier IOS versions?
Yeah you can't do it on earlier iOS versions, meaning you'd have to make your app iOS 7-only (like GB does). Luckily now iOS allows previous buyers to restore to an older version of the app if they haven't updated their iOS yet.
I do worry though that this makes price drops less enticing to people, 'cos if an app drops to free you'll never know if it still offers you the same functionality as the paid version or if it's a gimped version.
I'm with Crabman on this re. Garageband upgrade and what it offers ,IAA vs Audiobus ,Audioshare etc. As far as I can tell IAA doesn't aid in syncing Apps or matching BPMs to a host DAW ----- In an earlier discussion (Wish- list ) Sebastian of Audiobus implied that this issue was was at the forefront of their thoughts and I assume it still is . Still hoping this might be implemented soon
.
@Greenie, IAA does support a sample accurate transport mechanism that the host controls, to specify tempo and timeline location and play/stop actions. It also provides sample accurate midi time stamps for events feeding instruments. That said, both the host and the node apps still need to properly pay attention to all of it for everything to work.
It would be nice if the nodes could expose arbitrary parameters (like real plugins) that the hosts could tweak themselves, hopefully that will be added someday.
@sonosaurus While you're here, do you have plans for Thumbjam with IAA support? Thanks
@mgmg4871, yes for both TJ and DJ, but as usual I can't give any definite timeframe. DrumJam is currently on my plate and is getting some new features and content, but I might be able to sneak in a small bugfix and IAA support update for TJ in the meantime.
Sorry for the off-topic tangent!
@Sonosaurus Sounds very good. Thanks
@sonosaurus Please don't forget to fix the crossfade bug in TJ while you sneak a small bugfix and IAA support in---unless the crossfade bug IS the small bugfix. ;-)
