Audio crashes when running in background
I am running an iPad 2 (8.1.2) with an apogee duet. My intention was to use this system live, running my microphone in via the duet and using software to add some basic vocal effects (reverb). I also use the iPad for my charts (gigbook) - and so I need to run the audio in the background, while gigbook is in the foreground.
This works fine at first... But after switching throught a few of my PDFs in gigbook- the audio suddenly stutters and distorts and the only way to restore audio is restart the audio app.
I get similar results with either running an Audiobus chain... Or even just running GarageBand standalone in background. I also tried substituting gigbook with another pdf viewer... And still encountered an audio crash after a few minutes. The crash seems to always happen just as I open a new chart... So I guess it's a memory allocation thing??
Just wonder if anyone has any ideas of how I could get this to work...

Hmmmm. Seems the problem may in fact be the apogee duet. I first tried using cubasis instead of GarageBand- and that also crashed the audio when running in background and flipping between charts in gigbook. So I then tried unplugging the duet, and using some headphones with a built in mic straight into the headphone jack... I started GarageBand, added lots of reverb, put in monitor mode, then switched to gigbook with GarageBand running in background... I was able to switch between charts without any audio glitches. Guess Ill contact apogee to see if they can address it with a software/firmware update.
Ok, problem solved. Turns out the problem is the iPad 2 simply not being powerful enough to do this. I tried exact same configuration with an iPad Air and it ran seamlessly in the background. Time to upgrade my iPad.
