Contact Audiobus Support

I was a user from when this app first appeared, and for the first couple of years it was fantastic …. BUT.. it’s been getting buggier and buggier since, and I can’t remember the last time I used it and it worked the way it was supposed to. Take today’s session for example, I try to load an app into the input. Fails. I have to relaunch the app. Fails. Then I have to restart the entire iPad. Then it finally launches but says it might not perform properly. I select Aurea as my output, and when I launch it, wipes clean everything from the project I was working on, all tracks disappeared! Unbelievable. Fortunately I had a back up. I finally get it recording into Auria, but I have to work on the iPad internal speakers because it won’t recognize my Bluetooth speaker, no sound comes out, ever. So do my recording, go to close the app, and it glitches out and creates a giant volume surge out of the iPad speakers, not great for my tinnitus. Way to go, beginning to end an unpleasant experience. Deleted for good this time.

This is sad. The app is an iOS legend. Completely responsible for getting me into iOS music making. Have a dedicated iPad with hundreds and hundreds of music apps and was still using Audiobus all the time. It was recently sold to new owners… now I am sadly deleting it. Gone are the days of passing the time playing with Audiobus on flights and other times without wifi. Now it needs a connection to check if you have paid for a subscription I guess (barf, I will NEVER do that). Why would I subscribe to an app I’ve owned for probably a decade? Just because you broke it and it won’t work correctly unless I do? Nope. At least introduce some exciting new features and a roadmap of what you expect in the future if you’re going to push a subscription. I would still dump the app but at least it wouldn’t feel scammy.

Ever since I got my 10.5 ...I bought BeatMaker 3...hoping to transition from my iPhone to a larger format...I mainly use NI iMaschine2...which is getting long in the tooth ..but I’m highly efficient and it is my goto pocket production tool. Moving on to the iPad I wanted a newer updated experience using some of my soft synths I love but couldn’t incorporate with iMaschine2 easily so I purchased AudioCopy to make it a reality...

Honestly I hate the way I have to connect it through beatmaker3.. there’s no easy way to use it with out coming out of the bm3...I can’t change patches...it’s clumbersome..and don’t see a need to use it since bm3 can see most of my synths through audio units...

So that’s a waste of money to me and for my workflow...it’s meh!
