Audio output routing
Please bear with me as I explain the background of my question. My aim is to use Audiobus somehow to help with an audio output routing scenario that would allow me to play Thor and Animoog simultaneously and record that in my Ableton DAW on my PC into two separate tracks.
I recently bought the iConnectMidi 4+ (iCM4+) interface. This is a great piece of hardware and I'm having fun connecting my iPad 2 and iPhone 5 to my Win 7 Ableton DAW.
Here's my question. The iCM4+ presents multiple inputs and outputs. Right now in the Audio Patchbay configuration page of iConfig utility I have 4 inputs and 4 outputs. Theoretically, I could play two stereo input pairs from 2 synth apps at once and send out to two stereo output pairs and route them to my PC or another iOS device. Audiobus and a few other apps like Beatmaker can see the inputs, but none of them can distinguish the two stereo pairs. For example Audiobus just shows 'System Audio Output'. The support team at IConnedtivity believes this feature to be app specific.
It would be nice if Audiobus could see the two stereo output pairs, but it doesn't. then with parallel audiobus chains I could do the routing. I am wondering if there is an audiobus output app that can do this routing. Ideally, it would see the iCM4+ output channels and then from there I would be good to go. Does anyone know of such an app? Perhaps it is a DAW, a utility or a DJ type app.
This would enable some pretty powerful scenarios. Thanks for any help out there

I know that MultiTrack DAW does a good job of seeing the software and hardware connected to the iPad. You might want to look further into it to see if it would meet your needs.
Cubasis and Auria both handle multiple output channels nicely. I ave to I have yet to find that feature in MTD.
Cubasis however did a very strange thing in a recent update - they removed the ability to monitor the input Apps in AudioBus mode. Somehow they got the idea it is not necessary. So Cubasis will only actually output recorded tracks in playback mode to the outputs. This really bugs me. Apart from the obvious, it also means there is no level control over the synths in live mode. So now Auria is my only goto for live multichannel or AudioBus configurations. (Cubasis does OK if you use IAA instead of AudioBus. Which locks out non-IAA synths. Cant win here).
The midi and audio routing with cubasis, daw pc and audiobus can really make your brain twisted. My experience for now. I configured 3 audio stereo outputs from my ipad. Those are all visible in Cubasis. Routing also works. But only for Audio and instruments in Cubasis and IAA. Not for apps routed via AB2. Which seems in generell not to work.
And because its like this, and besides Loopy and the DAWs no app has multi output, all synth if connected through AB2 have only one stereo output.
Would also be interested if there is a solution around this.
Unfortunately with midi routing its also like this. What makes it worth is, that every app has more or less possibilities to edit midi or not.
