From bad to worse
Ok audiobus>jamup>funkbox
Everything works fine as soon as I add loopy as an output,I lose all live audio/guitar from jamup, can anyone tell me WTF I'm doing wrong? I'm using an iphone4s. An irig,I'm aware it's not the best option,but the audio seems to work fine until I add loopy as an output thanks for any help
Comments
I got involved with audiobus as an idea to play along with some drum tracks from funkbox live and maybe record a bit of something,and after reading reviews everyone seems to say there's such an ease of use,but it's totally opposite for me,nothing but a hassle it seems to get the apps to all work together
Try adding Live FX to the Effects slot, but don't activate the effects.
@PaulB: He's using an iPhone, LiveFX is an iPad only app.
@Marzinno: Which iOS version are you using? Can you reboot your device and make sure all the apps are updated to their most recent version? Are you running Jamup or Jamup Pro XT? Also: what kind of iRig are you using?
Same here on iPad3 and iPhone5S, latest iOS. DM1 in ABinput and Loopy in ABoutput there is no sound except when using an effect (bypass) in the AB-fx-slot. Temposync, start/stop and even record in Loopy works but no monitoring without an FX...

Which effects app are you using?
@Sebastian Tried it with Echopad and Remaster, will try with others on a minute...
Ok, it looks like this is an isolated issue with JamUp. I've been using a few other effects apps and they're all fine. I'm going to contact Positivegrid about it.
@Vibes71 said:
For future reference: Please don't just mention the apps that you've used but also the result. Like... did it work, did it show the same behaviour?
Don't think it's an isolated issue @Sebastian. Every FX I use in the FX-slot (Amplitube, Ampkit+, Filtatron, HarmonyVoice, LiveFX, JamUpPro, Turnado,...), they even don't have to be active (zzzz-icon), make the DM1 sound OK. If I eject the effect, the sound is gone ?! Only when Loopy is in the ABoutput....
I think in this case the problem is mostlikely DM1 ? Drumjam and other drumapps don't have this behaviour...
Sorry, I can't reproduce that. I've just tried it with Filtatron, Ampkit and LiveFX and it worked fine. Are you sure you've given all apps permission to use the microphone?
Can you please contact me via our support portal so I can go through this with you in a separate discussion: http://audiob.us/support
Maybe I didn't make myself clear, sorry for that. The problem is when DM1 is in the input of AB en Loopy is in the output of AB, there is no sound. If there is an FX in the FX slot, doesn't matter which FX and even with the zzzz-icon, there is sound. If the FX is ejected the sound is gone...the FX work fine.
This may be a "headphone monitoring" issue in Loopy. Every time I have Loopy as AB output and add DM1 as input, the " headphone monitoring" switch in Loopy goes off automatically. other AB inputs keep playing, but DM1 makes no sounds until I go into Loopy and switch headphone monitoring back on. I'm on an iPad 2, iOS 6.1.3. All apps updated.
Vibes and Marzinno, check headphone monitoring in Loopy
Yep, that could definitely be the cause of Vibes71's problem. Marzinno's issue with JamUp I can definitely reproduce on my own, and Headphone Monitoring isn't the root of it.
We're dealing with two different problems.
@Hmtx Nop, Headphone monitoring is on and doesn't switch off when DM-1 is loaded, both on iPad3 and iPhone5S...all apps up to date...
@Sebastian I'll contact you via local support, thanks for that

Awesome. Talk to you in a bit.
@Marzinno
I've 'fixed' the original issue for me by sliding the gain slider in JamUp to the right. For some reason it was turned all the way down.
Latest iOS jamup pro xt all apps up to date,my gain slider is always all the way down whenever I start the app in audiobus,if I use jamup as a stand alone app everything is always right where I left it!
Using an original irig
And thanks Paulb I looked for live fx but realized its iPad only,really can't wait to get an iPad and an apogee
@Sebastian
I had originally thought that the gain in jamup was the problem but even after sliding it completely to the right,I get the same result,but as soon as I remove loopy from the chain/output slot jamup audio comes right back
Thank u for taking time to assist,I really appreciate it,I am stuck at work at the moment,but I will get right back at it as soon as possible
Sadly I don't have an original iRig to test this with. Also I have to tell you that even if you figure out why the volume is all down using it you won't really enjoy the original iRig with Audiobus and JamUp because it suffers from quite severe audio bleed through.
The new iRig HD or Apogee Jam work far better.
@Sebastian
Thank you. I did have a feeling about that because I know all headphone guitar plugs suffer from it,just more fuel for me to upgrade to a better one
+1 Apogee Jam
The volume bug happens on both iPhone and iPad versions of Jamup, btw. It's mildly irritating when coming back to do some overdubs.
Find another AB effects slot app that supports iPhone.
@wayni said:
So the volume slider just randomly goes to zero?
@Sebastian Yes, that is correct. No rhyme or reason.
I've experienced this too.
Like just now. I opened it up on my phone to check MIDI assignments because everything can be controlled. The volume was down to zero whereas earlier this morning I had it at -10db. MIDI control is off as well.
They do have a feature to shut down the output selector to avoid feedback issues. Mine is currently set to headphone. I do not have headphones plugged in currently nor have I at all this morning.
The volume slider is a pain also, IMHO. I wish I manually enter what I want the volume to be set at. The slider makes it hard to be precise.
@Marzinno What happens if you use headphones instead of speaker. If I use headphones with DM-1 in ABinput and Loopy in ABoutput I get sound through headphones. If I unplug the headphones I get no sound through the speaker of iPad nor iPhone....
