## Description

Audiobus is the ultimate hub that connects your music apps, routing live audio and MIDI as if via virtual cables. Build complex chains, add effects on top of your favorite synths, and drive a step sequencer or guitar while your mic input runs in parallel.

The built-in mixer helps you balance each signal, and you can send the final result to your preferred DAW, sampler, looper, or multi-channel interface. It features AUv3 support, MIDI Learn, external MIDI clock syncing, and broad compatibility with thousands of apps like Korg Gadget, GarageBand, Launchpad, Animoog, Loopy HD, Cubasis, Auria, Amplitube, and more.

## Review summary

Users praise Audiobus as a foundational, easy-to-use multi-app router and mixer that enhances live iOS music workflows. However, recurring concerns center on a subscription/online requirement with privacy implications, inconsistent compatibility with other apps (IAA, Cubasis 3, Yamaha Seqtrak), and stability problems (crashes, zombie processes, potential data loss). Some report older app compatibility being broken after updates and offline use diminishing. Overall, it remains powerful and essential for many, but recent changes raise privacy, compatibility, and reliability concerns for offline or mission-critical setups.

### Pros

- Essential multi-app audio routing and mixing hub for iOS; foundational to many live music setups.
- Enhances sound and workflow by coordinating multiple apps and MIDI, enabling more layered performances.
- Simple to use and provides strong control over plugins, helping users focus on ideas and expression.
- Long-standing, widely used tool that many artists rely on to link devices and turn them into music-making systems.
- Regarded as a cornerstone of iOS music making, enabling complex setups that were hard to achieve otherwise.

### Cons

- Subscription-based model with online checks and trackers; privacy concerns and perception of paying again for a product already owned.
- Ongoing compatibility/communication issues with other apps (IAA, Cubasis 3, Yamaha Seqtrak) causing errors.
- Stability problems including crashes, zombie processes after updates, and data loss on projects.
- New updates sometimes break support for older apps, reducing offline usability and compatibility.
