Audiobus 2, Audiobus 3, or Neither?
Which do you use?
This is just a quick snap poll to see some stats based on the iTunes move regarding app availability vs actual users here.
So, I know some of you hate it, use AUM, use this, not that.....all good.
But this is really about some numbers on Audiobus users.
Thanks

On AB2 and from what Ive seen the next upgrade will probably be to Aum. If I get some extra cash I'll grab AB3 mostly to support this great forum (or maybe it has a feature I will need in the future).
AB3 + AUM = left arm + right arm. I wouldn't part with either!
I've been trying to move over to purely BM3, but AB3+AUM is so familiar, versatile and downright powerful (and my time is limited at the minute) that when it comes to crunch time, 9 out of 10 times that's the combo I go with.
Exactly!
Audiobus 3 all the way, audio glitches have been fixed in latest update. BTW those who prefer AB2 should check that. I started with AB3 then buyed AB2 because of glitches and switched back to AB3 after that fixing update. App switching, complex audio and midi routing, transport sync, AB remote, I love AB3 and use it in complex projects almost everyday. Also you have to follow the right procedure to open and close everything to avoid zombie apps, but once learned it’s ok. I use it all the time with AUM too, as this one is easier to use with AU effects and allow for complex mixing routings. AB3 and AUM are complementary, and both necessary.
I am with you guys on that arm business, but I am going to need another arm for Xequence soon. That app completes the alt DAW trifecta.
I use AB2 because I had it already for my iPad 2 with iOS 9.
Can imagine that Michael developed AB3. Because the business model of the App store is not that friendly for developers. Once a customer bought an app developers barely earn any money any more. Except when developing another app, AB3 in this case.
I use both AB3 and AUM.
Jumped on the iOS music train late. Bought aum first and AB3 later... still haven’t used AB3 or got around to learning it! So many apps so little time
Ab3 + AUM here.
AB2 w/ LoopyHDx5 w/ AUM coming in that has my Circuit/other iPad audio along with AU's in AUM
I always have crashes with Loopy or AB3 when I run them. Majority of time.
Use Gnome and Modsep so don't want need to use any of the midi feature.
Not that you asked me...LOL
Why Audiobus 2 is disappeared in iTunes?
I had bought this and I can't download this anymore :-(
Please Help!
I don't need Audiobus 3.
Go to your purchased apps. It’s clearly downloadable via the “not on this idevice” tab as show here:-
@tja if your iPad is capable of running 3 well I genuinely don’t understand why you would even want to downgrade. I haven’t even installed ab2 in over a year. Sure some people swear by it but that’s just cause they’re too stubborn to upgrade. Being able to share presets alone and the addition af Au audio + Au midi out(in the beta) pretty much makes me never need 2 again.
It’s actually strange. I use loopy with ab3 as well but it’s never crashed on me. The only app I don’t own a genome so who knows if that’s the cause of the crashes....
same... LoopyHD and AB3 solid here...
oh i know that. but i have never personally had the same issues. 1 main difference between me and those people is i removed ab2 completely from my ipad. i was having issues when both were installed but after removing 2 most of my problems with 3 vanished. Aum + Ab3 + Modstep pretty much are more than i need most of the time these days. Aum for hosting AU, Ab3 for doing midi filtering and saving presets and Modstep to send all the midi.
Those are kind of old now though. AB3 has been updated since those posts, but AB2 has not, so things may be different now. Plus AB3 is about to get a major update, per the stickied topic by Michael.
Eh, just my thoughts on the issue.
@RUST( i )K seems to be having stability issues in general with his Air2. So maybe whatever is causing that was affecting his Ab3 usage as well. Personally my air2 is working fine in iOS 11.3 same as @brambos.
It even runs fine on my iPod Touch 6G (which I use for testing 4" screen UIs). There appears to be very little difference in resource usage between iOS10 and iOS11 in my experience, if any. What has apparently changed is the priority model for audio versus graphics threads, which could account for the glitches when doing app-switching under heavy CPU loads.
I noticed the app switching issue as well but since I pretty much only use AU now for the most part it's a non-factor.
Yes, that's what AUv3 integration is for. App switching and multitasking are yesteryears inconveniences now.
Audiobus 3 isn't an update but another app than Audiobus 2.
Must be buy one more time.
Bether. Just reinstall it using the “purchased apps” section in the App Store.... you can reinstall Ab2 much as you want.
Thanks.
Which may in fact correlate to the issue seeming to be first indicated by the loopy circles not spinning correctly for beginners.
I attempted to turn off all settings to lessen the CPU but it seems still present.
What about the way the RAM performs with iOS 11, no difference in your opinion.
