Audiobus is going to a new home! Forum is staying

No, I don't think that is correct.
The AudioBus app goes to another developer.
The whole AudioBus Forum stays here with Michael but will have a name change.
I was confused by the missing "App" in the text "Audiobus is going to a new home", @Simon
I thought this was about the forum and splitting away other content about non-Michael Apps.
I am surprised to learn that Michael will give away his trusted central App to other people.
I think Loopy Pro forums sounds even better than audiobus forums - fr fr 100
Man F all that old $h!t - onward and upwards guys
LPF even sounds and looks better than ABF, hell I’m already on board ……
Let’s go
Leeeettsss gooooooooooooooooooo
LPF all day son !!!
(And not for nothing. Word on the streets, when the midi loopin drops in LP, oooooooo gonna be game changer - and that’s not from me either, that’s from a hardware group who is into LP, I won’t say who but it is what is)
He is not giving it away, he is selling it.
His main app now is Loopy Pro.
It won't be like that - this forum will remain exactly as it is now, it's just the name that will change. Michael is selling the ownership of the Audiobus app, not this forum or any parts of it. So it's not a big change at all really.
Yes correct... but this somehow soothes my soul, as I'm now, as a non-native speaker, making jokes so idiomatic that they have to be explained to other non-native speakers by native speakers 😂
That reminds me, the new forum should probably be at
gamechangiers.audio
This resonates well with me. It’s Michael’s forum after all and it is only logical that the name follows his path. Gone with the old, in with the new.
My vote is on The Loopy Pro Forum as well.

Loopypro.com
Well deserved. Loopy and Audiobus started this wave of innovation so, I’m perfectly okay with either or.
Seriously, @Michael, thanks for giving so many musicians, iPad owners, iPhone users, Android, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PC, Macs, and many more OS’s (Vision Pro for example) a reason to tinker again.
Else, our devices would have sat there as YouTube watching machines. Or Subway Surfers simulations…
Wherever this new journey takes you, we wish you great success. But we are so thankful for all you’ve done and this labour of love you’ve blessed and enriched our lives with.
Thanks again!!!
❤️
@Michael, I like that new button btw
Loopy Pro
It looks good on ya
(How do I get one of those??? Hahahah
!!!)
@DMfan yes sir
let’s goooo
@SevenSystems lmao it’s over man. But I still think you had the best idea out of all of them (ending the domain in audio), but nah, I reallly actually do think forum.loopypro.com is best; I had no idea you weren’t native speaker , where you from if I may? (No worries if u rather not say )
Cool, I’m glad a decision has been made. And it’s fitting that @Michael can promote Loopy Pro, considering his generosity in hosting this forum, and for transforming the platform with Audiobus in the first place. 🙏
Okay, okay…. Just for heaven’s sake don’t do a big upgrade and change Loopy Pro’s name to Loopy ProPro X version 12 or something!
Big changes are tough on us old birds…
Mobil Music Community?
Ingesting the whole of forum.audiob.us ChatGPT came back with the suggestion Mobile Music Makers (Forum), MMM.
I thought that made perfect, logical sense.
Y’all are so funny. Given Michael already owns LoopyPro.com and knows how ABF aided sales of Audiobus over the years, without too much confusion, I think he intended it to be the Loopy Pro Forum all along.
It makes no sense for new people, young people, search or SEO but the decision isn’t based on those things.
The redirect will be more fundamental than the name, but sad not to get it right second time around, and take into account more modern practices.
Sorry not to be a smoke blowing positive pictures of cats person but isn’t different opinions what makes a forum interesting and diverse? 🐈⬛ 💨
Just chipping in here. Most of the content on this (really highly valued) site is about iPad apps and music making in general rather than Audiobus specifically. Presumably this is just a historical accident? However, if the new forum is named after Loopy Pro we will be deliberately recreating that historical accident for no obvious reason!
Wouldn't it make sense to have a forum referencing Loopy Pro that was actually for specifically discussing Loopy Pro (which I assume would be both desirable and beneficial to it's users) and a separate forum for iPad apps and music making more generally. MagicMusicBus as suggested by @NeuM or something similar? The separate site could have a permanent link/pinned post on Loopy Pro to support @Michael's business model etc
I’m very late to this thread, but I don’t understand the naming decision. I know a lot of people use Loopy Pro, but it can’t really be that dominant, can it? Just taking a look at the first couple pages of recent threads, LP is hardly the most-discussed subject.
I don’t have strong opinions on alternatives. I’m very inventive in that regard. Something along the lines of “mobile music”, or whatever.
But Loopy Pro specifically and so emphatically?
So, you’re suggesting that, as well as being kind enough to pay for this forum to be hosted, Michael should also pay for a separate Loopy Pro forum?
‘Deliberately recreating that historical accident’ could just as easily be ‘honoring the site’s origins’, couldn’t it?
The point is that this site is paid for by Michael. He originally created Audiobus, hence this site was set up as the Audiobus Forum. Now that he’s sold Audiobus, he’s changing the name of the forum to the Loopy Pro Forum because that app is now his developing focus.
The name isn’t meant to imply that the most talked about app here is Loopy Pro (Drambo already has its own forum anyway!).
By the way, personally, i don’t own Loopy Pro (sorry @Michael, I’m sure I’ll get it one day!).
Perhaps the complete history of the forum isn’t known and does seem strange to some. I’m not going to recap it here as I wasn’t here from the start but going forward…we’re all here despite it being the Audiobus forum and I gather it’s not the most used app by many here (I have never used it).
Micheal allowed us all to discuss all mobile (and desktop) music and related apps. His money, his time, his forum, his gift to us.
Does it really matter if it’s called after another of his apps? He’s still decent enough to let us talk about the rest.
I still think it should be the glass tappers and knob twiddlers forum but I have an odd sense of humour.
I understand. Thanks for the background info. It’s not something I feel strongly about.
Must admit I hadn't really thought about the cost implications. Obviously I don't know the details of that. I was just thinking from a 'rational' point of view in terms of the name but if there are significant cost implications for Michael maybe that should, as you say, be the determining factor. It's just that the way the question was originally posed was open-ended and Michaal appeared to be actively looking for suggestions.
And a surprising amount of people were taken in by that devious double bluff 😉
Naturally, i don’t know the details about the costs involved either but i figure it has to cost more to have two websites rather than one!
By the way, Michael explains his decision for the name on page 8 of this thread.
Yeah I hadn't really caught up with the fact that it was a done deal - just that it was being suggested. I've bought a couple of web domains before and you're right that it's gonna cost more to run two site than one. I suppose the counter argument would be that a more representative name for this site may attract more traffic and therefore more revenue but I've just noticed for the first there don't appear to be any ads on this site so maybe there isn't any revenue from it. Anyway, having just read @Michael's post as suggested, it makes sense and I'm happy with whatever he's happy with.
Old Audiobus!
New Audio Loopy Bus!
Worth just pointing out - there are no ads here so no revenue - maybe in the early days Michael was able to make money from affiliate links? No idea, just speculation. Regardless, that would not have been possible after Apple’s closure of the affiliate program in 2017.It’s pretty kind of Michael that he’s kept it going all these years. Keeping this forum running likely has more downside than upside for him.
forum.atastypixel.com
Seriously. I think this is the best. loopypro.com is fine from a short-term marketing perspective, but I doubt Loopy Pro will be the one and only product @Michael puts out for life.
Audiob.us forum is a textbook worthy case study in brand name promotional success. The difficulty in figuring out how best to rebrand now is evidence of that.
How many people read "atastypixel" and had no idea what I'm referring to? If you did then I rest my case.
There absolutely should be some payback in marketing terms for this free, non-advertising cluttered service. (I hope anyone that has begrudged that just didn't think it through fully.) Until now, Michael, you haven't built your developer brand like you have your individual app brands. Maybe it's time to think in a bit broader terms.
Agreed, especially when done by committee.
Have you ever heard a group of musicians trying to decide upon a band name?
There's band politics and there's band politics.
