AUM - Audio Mixer Reviews

Down we go

As of iOS 11 this app is pointless.

Indispensable

Wonderful app. Absolute must-have along with AudioShare. Also check out Odessa by Bram Bos. A match made in heaven. Or whatever wonderful place you believe in!

As close to perfect as an IOS mixer could get!

MusixMonkey

This is almost perfect! Could use a few little features like: * Ability activate and deactivate or bypass channel fx via midi mapping. * MORE busses. Need at least 4 more. At least I,J,K,L * Built in ability to sidechain. Real side chaining compression, or fake ducking.

Incredible!!

This App is such a incredible tool and creative interface to make music and for live use as well. Now I have one request, to be able to export a project as a Ableton Live Set.

Wonderful

AUM is an elegant solution for bringing different music making apps together and getting results. Combine it with the developer's other app, AudioShare, and you can mix and manage audio on iOS with ease.

Almost perfect

Love the developer and his apps. Been buying them since day one. My problem is that even as an almost daily user of various midi devices, I find the midi routing to be incredibly unintuitive. Combined with new plugin architecture Apple introduced, routing becomes more cumbersome.

This app should be illegal

Pathways and routes, bridges and ladders, freeways, highways, and bus routes .. or buss routes .. I’ve never quite understood the concept of the audio “bus” as a term. Unless I am correct in assuming it’s like all of your audio sources are like a bunch of people that have places to go and things they need to pass through before they end up at the same place .. and they take a “bus” to get there - so some of those people get on the “bus” at the same stop and go through the same things that process them .. like getting a new haircut, which I will equal to compression. But not all haircuts are the same - there are a few barber shops and there are more than one barber in each shop, which needs to happen so everyone can be tightened up at the same time and to their own needs. All of that would be like using two different apps that are compression based (2 different barber shops) inside AUM multiple times for several different audio sources using the AU3 feature. The AU3 feature for processing and for app sound sources in AUM is kinda hard to beat and I don’t think there’s a point in trying, though I noticed Audiobus 3 is out and they want you to pay for as an entirely separate app from Audiobus 2 and it seems to have remarkably similar features that AUM always had. Audiobus 2 is still a good way to route your final mix out to Mixlr or wherever, but if you are just recording or straight up going live the way that AudioShare integrates with AUM defies common sense. I won’t go into it, but just realize that you can playback as many simultaneous files with parameters to change the tempo and length, etc from AudioShare while also recording the mix of them in addition to syncing up all your synth apps via midi which you can play inside AUM with a keyboard that can be assigned easily to all apps you want it to control. If that’s not a reasonably killer feature then maybe you’re not getting enough sleep or you have a depleted supply of oxygen which you should deal with before you go messin around with AUM. You could think of it as a DAW that’s got its own set of rules that are less traditional and built more for the iOS era, which gives you the chance to think outside of preconceived ideas about audio production. There are things you can do with AUM and Audioshare in tandem that haven’t been thought of yet, which gives this app the bonus of longevity in discovery. And that’s worth 5 stars. Whatever complaints I’ve read about in reviews usually say more about the expectations of the reviewer colliding with their understanding of how things do/don’t work which is revealed sometimes in their intentions. Finally, back to the idea and implementation of AU3 (audio units) and how many synth apps and effects you have to cut everyone’s hair with ... if you think Bram Bros. Ripplemaker is cool as a stand alone app, then see what happens when you can pull it up 4 times and then do the same with iSEM .. just clean up the mess if your mind explodes. People don’t need to see that in the App Store ?.

Crash City

Apps constantly crash within this app that don’t normally crash. This app is supposed to be compatible with everything yet seems compatible with nothing. AudioShare is a decent app, this one...not so much.

The definition of cool

AUM does a lot of stuff and it does it well. I found it to be very easy to use and understand. I prefer it over everything else for pure ease of use and speed of getting things setup and recorded. It is light weight, makes sense, and it plays nice with everything I have tried. It isn’t a full blown recording studio with seemingly infinite cryptic controls and that’s what make it so good. It’s light, clever, and has all the utility to get things done both quickly and with high quality. The layout is very clean and clever. I was able to setup, record, and mix many tracks of looped samples, live synths, guitar, and drum machines without reading a manual or watching tutorials. It takes some figuring but everything is logical. A couple hours after I bought it I had a high quality demo recorded. I would not enjoy making music on an iOS device without AUM and AudioShare. So, my I am very happy with my purchase. Thanks Kymatica!

Simplicity of complexity

AUM does a lot and in a straight forward easy to do way. Work flow is quick. Well worth the price of admission! Seems everything Kymatica puts out is 5 Star
