If it turns out that Audiobus just does not work in any shape or form on iphone3, ipod touch3&4, iphone4 & ipad1 and yet there is only a "recommend using iPad2, iphone4s or newer devices" on line 21 of a drop down menu then I'd suggest that a little more could have been done in terms of honesty

to be fair also - collecting a bulk number of dis-satisfied customers who spend $10 on a cool logo for their current iphone is probably much more detrimental to their business than a quickly posted warning for others to avoid wasting cash. I just found a graph that suggests there might be 20 millions iphone handsets in use earlier than iphone 4s which is a large potential market to scare away with a first line block capital:
- THIS APP ONLY SUITABLE FOR IPHONE4S / iPAD2 OR NEWER APPLE DEVICES -

Audiobus is stable.
It says it's COMPATIBLE with 3GS etc, in the App Store.
Do you want me to spell out for you what this means in comparison to your complaints about performance?

You blame both the Audiobus dev AND Apple for your lack of reading comprehension about iPhone vs iPad apps. Great!
Your other ramblings about "cool logos" etc. just makes all your other opinions invalid and is not worth commenting further.

That's exactly what we're working on... IMO, tight integration of MIDI sequencing with Audiobus recording (and audio playback) would be useful. I'm expecting to drink a lot of coffee over the next few weeks.

You could call it midibus

I'm expecting to buy it when it comes out

There are some really daft people in this world, and one of them has graced this thread!

Really, if you're going to spend $10 and be this anal about things, THEN READ THE FRIGGING DESCRIPTION! All of it. Takes less than 5 minutes, and would have saved several posts of semi-coherent whining.

Perhaps the dev should bold and italic too, lest you miss the text because it blended in.

Audiobus is very stable!

The only thing that regularly crashes is LoopyHD at the output.

so far no problem with audiobus on iPad 2.I tried it with sunrizer and funkbox (both controlled by little midi sequencer) recorded in MDAW on 2 different tracks at once.Worked like a charme.Although i had to reduce the polyphony in Sunrizer to avoid crackles.But that doesn't matter cause i dont care if i can record different tracks at once or not.I'm just happy i CAN do it at all

Love that program,thanks!

We would but Apple doesn't let us do that.

The amount of hand holding people expect in life is amazing. They're always looking for someone else to blame, instead of themselves.

Great job on the app! I can't wait until more apps get on board.

I'm loving Audiobus so far, and look forward to more apps getting on the bus.

The problem I have is more with triggering the record start/stop in Loopy HD. I always seem to end up with silence on the end of a loop due to the timing of hitting the record button in Audiobus. I realize this is my fault, and can be improved with practice on my part.
I in no way blame Audiobus or Loopy for this. I wish there was the ability to trim a loop in Loopy, but from what I've read it doesn't seem to do this. I could use Multitrack DAW and edit the length of loops recorded via Audiobus, but I'd really like to stick with Loopy. It's so frustrating to get a great loop from Sunrizer only to have a second or two of silence at the end, which messes up my rhythm (such as it is

)

I think a midi foot switch would solve my problem. I have an FCB1010, and I wonder if I could use one of those midi to usb cables that can be bought for around $30 to connect my FCB1010 to a usb hub and then into the CCK port on my ipad? I've also seen the Logidy switch recommended, and could possibly get one of the ipad midi adapters to use with my Behringer foot board.

I'm open to suggestions, and if there is a cheap one button usb switch that works with the ipad, that would be great, too.

I'm not that familiar with Loopy HD but in principle it shouldn't be hard for them to implement a "quantized" record-off function based on user selectable values. So for a known tempo and say a quarter note subdivision, stopping the recording within a quarter note's time after the point you want to the recording to stop would auto-trim the sample to the end of the preceding quarter. This or auto-limiting the recording time to an even # of beats or bars would work too. Is none of this currently possible?

Hey sore fingers, I've been struggling with this myself.. I was trying to record a beat from funkbox into Loopy and the timing was always slightly off. In the end I realised the tempo's were running at slightly different speeds (doh). Anyway once I synced them I used loopy's metronome to help me start the funkbox loop at the right time. You can also shift the loop around inside tracks in loopy to get the first beat exactly on the start of the track. You use a two finger twist motion. After a bit of messing around I had it working fine.

How does the metronome in Loopy work?
There's a count in and out, but I can only get it to click all the time, or not at all.
