Audiobus compatibility

[TrompetEWI]

Greetings,

This is my first post here. I've searched for info on the Multitask thread, but could not find what I was looking for. So, here are my questions:

1. Does iReal Pro have interapp Audio support? In other words, I'd like to play my midi keyboard using Sampletank while looking at the lead sheet in iReal Pro. I do have Audiobus as well. When I try to switch apps, ALL audio from iReal Pro and Sampletank.

Also, is it possible to substitute the midi sounds being played in iReal Pro with sounds from another app (Sampletank, iGrand, etc) this would go a long way in making the songs more realistic!

Thank you!

Thanks so much for the reply. I wanted to be able to use Sampletank sounds in the iReal Pro app.

BTW: I see from your post that you are in Portland, Or. I was most blessed to have been born and raised there....I really miss it!

As you have discovered, to view the chart in iReal Pro while using another audio app is possible. The other app must have the ability to have its audio playing in the background (iReal Pro will allow this through).

Here is a slightly related thread, although it mainly refers to running iReal Pro's player in the background, while using another app for viewing a chart (like a notation chart, or lyrics) which is the opposite of what you are doing. I mention it here for anyone interested:

(make sure Settings>Background audio is ON). You might like to use this for practicing - run some songs with iReal Pro's player/chart showing but use iGrand as your midi sound in the background.

For what you are doing, inter-app Audio support nor Audiobus is necessary, just having background audio within both apps (the foreground app allowing it through; the background app sending it out; most now do both) is sufficient.

I hope Audiobus or Auv3 can be supported again in the future, would make the app more useful.
Thanks for the good work

I read that iReal dropped the audiobus3 support. anyone knows of another app that help combinar ireal and another music app (e.g. GarageBand?)

It’s a huge shame that irealb isn’t fixing this issue asap. Like 99.9% other music apps support inter-app/au to work with daw/audiobus systems. This is very embarrassing to see a famous app falling behind in the modern mobile music production industry.

I ask for nothing more. Looks like it used to work but not anymore, and this is very frustrating. Thank you. A true legendary app like this should have inter-app or au support in 2020!!!

Yeah, after getting the recent update some days ago (thanks for that!) I am really disappointed that this functionality is again missing! It would be really great™ if iReal would provide an "inter app audio" or even better the newer "Audio Units Plugin" interface. (https://developer.apple.com/library/...yPG/index.html)

Huh.

I found this thread after observing on my iPad that iRealPro is not found in the list of input apps offered by Audiobus (v 3.4.44).

Too bad that, it would be very useful.

I wonder what the nature of the issue really is, and if effort/coordination could solve it.

I hope someday this can be remedied.

We are so close to having a superb ecosystem on the iPad, but without iRP we are not yet there!

Whether via Interapp Audio, or via Audio Units, (or both), it would be highly desirable here in the field for iRP to be able to fully participate in a unified way that allows level mixing and one-touch switching between all the apps that a user is using at once.

For example, I can open Loopy Pro, add Launchpad and Geoshred, mix all 3 levels from Loopy Pro, and go back-and-forth between Loopy Pro and either Geoshred or Launchpad with a single touch on a nicely presented icon of sufficient size.

To make one specific case, I note that Geoshred offers superb physically modeled sax, clarinet, trumpet, etc. that are a wonderful compliment to the "jazz band" of iRP.

Of course, iRP has many styles, and can be used for many different flavors of song/chord-progression, so even though "jazz" may be primary, there are actually many further uses.

The KEYS for unfettered live performance are being able to easily create a good mix from a single location (e.g. Loopy Pro, or Audiobus) and to be able to immediately and seamlessly switch from one app to another (e.g. to be able to bring the desired app to the front in order to control it, to "play" it).

The particular example I offer above (Loopy Pro, Launchpad and Geoshred) works really well, and proves that this is technically possible. In this case, iRP would take the place of Launchpad (i.e. be the primary backing band).

I sincerely hope you can consider the power and desirability of such capabilty for iRP and reconsider to make the necessary effort to accomplish this.
