Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Audiobus.

Features and functionality

  • AUM offers a large interface for easy app switching, ideal for playing multiple synths simultaneously without manual input.

    Source
  • Audiobus allows routing multiple synth and drum apps into GarageBand, though some apps might face compatibility issues with separate MIDI channels.

    Source
  • AUM excels in session save functionality, making it ideal for performance settings and testing new apps with different configurations.

    Source

Software and compatibility

  • AUM only sends MIDI clock, which suits setups where everything is done on the iPad.

    Source
  • Audiobus users have reported random freezing and sustained notes on iPads, potentially linked to recent iOS 18 updates.

    Source
  • AUM is optimal for generative, ambient music due to its extensive effect busses, sends, aux tracks, and modulation tools.

    Source

User experience

  • Loopy Pro allows for building custom visual interfaces, streamlining live jams and focusing on musical parameters.

    Source
  • Recent ownership experiences describe Audiobus as occasionally clunky, with issues not previously present before developer changes.

    Source

Comparisons

  • AUM is preferred over Audiobus for live jamming due to its robust UI and routing capabilities.

    Source
  • AUM serves as a digital mixer and plugin host, while Audiobus functions more as an audio router, akin to cables connecting devices.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • Drambo excels as a groovebox, offering a powerful solution for hosting apps with built-in sequencers and effects.

    Source
  • Audiobus is more effective as a connection tool for routing apps that are not AUv3, particularly when used with a DAW for syncing inter-app audio.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Using multiple iOS devices with a USB hub can be challenging due to syncing issues; an audio/midi interface might be necessary for smoother operation.
