Well i just got the cs6r(had cs6x in the past tho) and dont have much interest to use its sampler. Mpc and ipad has better and easier to use samplers
i have sampled some drums from it to mpc tho. Main idea of it is to have it complement my rack synth voices.
It's possible to create full tracks, but it's not easy. Unless you're making minimal techno, you will probably want at least one or two change-ups in your track. To do this in AUM you need to set up meta sequencers that control your other sequencers (by selecting their patterns) so you can make transitions to different song sections. Or you need to get good at "playing" the sequencers to get the musical progressions.
If you do this you can create full tracks that will be the result of a live performance. But like any live performance it's rarely perfect and your ability to make the tiny tweaks and apply the final polish is limited.
You could record out stems of each track. You could then load those stems up in other tracks' File Players and do a final mix that way. Of course if you need to edit a stem you'll need to pass it onto another app for editing and then load those into AUM File Player tracks. If you edit a stem down to something shorter than the full track length you'll have to set up a sequencer to trigger those shorter files at the right time.
So, yes, it's possible to create a full track, but it's not easy. Generally people will jam out in AUM and then export the stems into actual DAWs for editing and song completion.
However, if you want to treat AUM as a sort of meta-instrument that you play, it's possible and rewarding to make full songs there, you just have to approach things from a slightly different perspective and realize that the end results will be different than what you could get sculpting a track in a DAW.
Here's an idea for AUM.

Use the bookmark function to associate specific auv3 plugin window layouts
Just having 3-5 pages would be amazing. Like in Apematrix.
Then have multiple bookmark buttons on the bottom of the UI for single tap switching to different layouts.
Tap a bookmark
AUM navigates to bookmarked channel ( like it currently does)
Show/hides plugins associated to that bookmark, which will be user defined.
Option to midi map the bookmarks
Have a bookmark send a midi note/cc when tapped for even more control.
A solution like this would be so amazing for AUM.
No juggling with windows that are in the the way, or endlessly show hide stuff manually.
Thank you for consideration.
I use it reluctantly as part of a Xequence & Audiobus setup. Wish Audiobus had multi out and bussing.
That's an interesting idea. It would probably suit better as part of "scenes" that I hope to add in a future update, though. A scene would recall all parameters (level faders etc including plugin parameters), and it could also recall the visual state (scroll position and plugin windows).
Love it, the scenes idea would be amazing for different recording scenarios. He would this differ from sessions?
Scenes would be great, like different snapshots in a session
It would also be nice to be able to fade/morph between these plugin and mixer snapshots, apematrix has this for the mixer but to be able to do this for all the instruments and mixer would be ideal.
Ahh like that a lot
I used Xequence -> AB -> AUM for a while and finished a coupla tracks that way.
However, since LK went auv3 and atom 2 was announced, I’ve stopped using AB and Xequence and have been experimenting with how to finish the composition for complete track all within AUM. Basic loop composition is easy with LK but gradual automation is not so easy. I’m sure it’s possible but I have every faith Atom 2 will be the missing piece when it launches.
Once the composition is finished, I’ll record all the stems and output to Cubasis for mixing/mastering.
For audio samples I use segments which can be easily triggered but these could be replaced with audio tracks in cubasis if better timestretching is needed.
That’s the theory for the ‘base’ setup anyway. You can basically then plug in any other app in as this is modular after all. Still haven’t figured how Drambo fits!
This thread is terrific. I love reading all this innovation. I know that many are unmoved by AUM, but I find it an incredibly inspiring environment. I just recently figured out how to incorporate the LaunchControl XL with it, and it's a whole new dimension. (Still haven't figured out how to slot in 4pockets AUM Mixer with it; kind of waiting to see where Atom 2 lands.)
One thing I don't quite grok? What are AUM bookmarks for?
Yeh was looking at launch control xl, I have the korg nanokontrol 2 so not sure what extra benefits this would bring to aum though

So you can jump to different channels in your session, quite useful but not something I use regularly so far...
To add the bookmark just tap on the channel name at the bottom, then tap the bookmark symbol.
OK, that's simple enough. But it's useful if you have several channels with instances of Atom (for example) that you are launching on the fly. I don't have enough buttons on my LaunchControl to adjust mutes and faders and a few assigned knobs AS WELL as a way to launch clips. I do have a Launchpad X that I still haven't really tried. I wonder if I could have that running as the midi clip /pattern launcher while the LaunchControl works with the audio?
These are exciting times for iOS!
