I've tried both and have gotten decent results from both. I find Audiobus 3 way easier to work with overall for my live setup--if forced to choose between the two (which would be a shame as they are both essential apps IMHO), I'd pick AB3 for live gigs.
Thanks so much for this. So let’s say I dump GarageBand and get Galileo for the organs (Or is there a free one that will allow program changes?).
Realistically I will want to use about 5 different “heavy brass” patches, 2 different organ patches and 16 thumbjam patches. So thats 23 different instances in Audiobus 3??....or will the midi functions negate the need to do that?? I’m sorry I’m a bit thick when it comes to Audiobus 3 as I only have Audiobus 2 at the mo! I have an iPad Air 1 which sometimes struggles with just 3 apps in AB3......
For the foreseeable future you're going to get better performance from a portable computing device running a desktop operating system as great desktop DAW's offer excellent multithreaded performance. The downside is that they have more moving parts and are at greater risk from atmospheric conditions (moisture being the real killer of portable computing devices in hot sweaty club and live-venue environments).
But even iOS devices don't function too well with sweaty hands, so whatever you choose, be sure to have some form of hardware controller device to interface with your commuting device. Worse case scenario, this choice alone will minimise the amount of times you have to interact with your computing device directly during your performance.
For me these days, a combination of an Elektron Model with MIDI control devices to interface with any computing devices is the way to go. Not that the Elektron Model is waterproof, it's pretty much fully splash proof. And funnily enough I kept my old Maschine hardware as a backup, when I purchased Maschine 2, and now that I have Maschine 3, I've been using the original Maschine hardware for live duties (with 2 as the backup) and it seems pretty much bomb proof!
I too have an Air 1 and know what you mean. I’ve found that Audiobus 3 is perfect for us, since it calls up presets and even individual apps on the fly (ie, per song), so you don’t need to keep all of your apps open and running for your entire set.
Wow I should really start looking into this "Audiobus" app.
