The latest apps

The latest apps

The past few weeks have seen the take-up for AudioBus support increase exponentially - and with each the iPad becomes a more and more powerful tool for audio production.

It would take too many slides to list all the instruments and that have now been updated to allow audio to be routed in-and-out, so we suggest you keep an eye on the AudioBus site for a full rundown of the latest compatible apps.

For now, here are some of the latest instruments, effects and major updates to hit the App Store...
