This App Is The Closest Thing To MainStage On iOS! (AUM-Audio Mixer)

How can I change quickly between presets in AUM? let's say I have three channels to find with three different instruments that have the sounds bass, piano, horns and they have their zones set. then for the next song I need to switch to a new set of presets that this time have strings, rhoads, oboe and they use some new instruments. If I have a set list of 40 songs is there a way to show a list of the 40 presets and just tap go to the next I'm ready to start the next song? I don't see anything in the manual about presets

Dude, where did you get these amazing virtual instruments for iPad ? I am struggling to find decent piano and other Virtual Instruments for iPad :(

Question: has anyone tried to get the Rhodes affair iOS app to work with AUM? I’ve read others have the same issue where it doesn’t work. I can’t get it to work.I was just wondering if anyone had the same issue

Great video thank you!! Question..

Say I have 4 live channels within AUM;
1. Hammond bx3
2. Pure Synth (custom preset 1)
3. Same app (custom preset 2)
4. Same app (custom preset 3)

Each custom preset has multiple layers.
Can I quickly switch between each one? I imagine this would replicate multiple “scenes”.

Very nice - I guess now in 2023 that Sunday Keys app is closest to mainstage functionality but it doesn't support loading audio units. Apparently this is in development though.

Have you tried Camelot. I have used Aum for years on my iPhone SE and Korg plugkey with my Roland digital Accordion, but I was on the beta for Camelot which is made by Audio Modelling, the same people that make the swam instruments and it’s great. It has too many features to list here but it can do everything Aum can do and more. I think it’s about 25 bucks. You can map your hardware and software synths etc, create set lists, with stored tempos program changes etc, splits and layers, playback audio and midi, you name it Camelot can handle it. Also there is Layers by my friend Paul at 4pockets Audio, which came out last year which is also great for setting all this up for live performance.

Bought this - as far as playing live is concerned, there are apps that are far better suited - KeyStage 2 (better for the purpose of playing live) and Camelot Pro (loads of features, not as straightforward interface as KeyStage 2)

I had a question what happen when you don’t have a midi keyboard and that regular piano w built in sounds but the volume as you might know won’t work since that signal doesn’t get tranfer to midi only the keys and maybe on some keyboards the Oct anyways do you have any recommendations on how to have some external physical control over all in android tablets or iPads since sometimes iPad goes into a stand far and suck to be clicking on the iPads screen or button ?

Hey does anyone know if you can do splits with this app?

Great video. Thanks John.

Thanks for this overview. Very helpful. Would you say it's practical to use the AUM onscreen faders live instead of hardware controllers, or is that too awkward? I have a Roland A88 and it only has two knobs left of the keys and I am not sure I want another device stacked just for knobs.

How are you managing to avoid DSP overloads?? I have been experimenting with this and it is great except for the fact that I get overloads and crackling. So not usable for me until I figure that out. I don’t think what I’m doing is excessive in terms of layering. I have bass, keyboard, strings pad and maybe a couple of other sounds and can’t get it working smoothly. I’m using Ravenscroft, bs16i, and soundfonts. I have not added a bunch of FX units or anything like that.

Found this after seeing your Mac Studio video. This was part of my transition and learning curve. I found this app for my iPad - I got the Korg nanoKontrol Studio and nanoKey Studio and of course had to get ths app along with some of the software that Korg provides - Gadget 2. I was not invested heavily in a previous studio setup. So learning along the way and this helps a lot since you are at a level far above me in this area. Great video - thanks

Hey there! this looks really promising for what I need. Is it possible to set up a foot switch/pedal to switch between sounds? thanks!

Hi. i use MainStage 3. But things App looks like a very good option. I can’t see what is connected to your iPad. Could you please explain¿ Regards

What effect should I use to make my vst plugin sound fatter for live performance. I always enjoy your videos.

If I can’t play prime this is a problem , how will I run my stems ?

SampleTank live mode on Ipad is really like mainstage. Thank you for this video.

Hey John Mike 
been subscribed to your page for a few years now, I love your content! I wanted to ask could this app control MSB, LSB, & PC? I want to use my internal boards sounds mixed with some VST's what your thought on it?

Great video. Thanks

Thanks again, Mike! Been looking for this as I just got an arturia 88 and was wondering how to assign the faders so I don’t have to jump from app to app sunday morning! I’m the worship leader so if I can simplify my sounds it leaves more room to concentrate on lyrics. I know this is an old one, but im just getting through a lot of your vids. Thanks a bunch!

Hi John mike ...
How do I incorporate a yamaha reface YC into my AUM I have a digital piano and a m audio oxygen pro 49.. that’s In in the Aum...but how do I get the reface in there ?im really struggling with this John as it’s all new to me man ! Can you help if you have time to advise me on how I go about doing this ...many thanks 🙏

Just came across this and grabbed AUM. What a great app! Thanks for your time and your knowledge. Bless you, brother!

My Ravenscroft would not show under Audio unit. What did u do

My doctor says I am addicted to John Mike and gave me a JohnMike Anonymous meeting pamphlet. I stopped going to my doctor. 😂

Bless you yet again sir!

It's sad that samsung users cant have access to those apps too😒😔

Are you able to use the audio effects for vocals and guitar for live streaming to Instagram or bigo live? Would the effects work while doing so?

Any alternative for android users?

Hey john, how can you save the assigned app every channel. Im having hard time changing the app in evvery channel.

Really really really cool

Hi Mike, THX for your review! Is it possible to filter out midi information like “Programm change” in the workflow of this AUM APP ?

Can I use this to get better sounds out of a cheap keyboard? That’s all I want out of an app.

So just an FYI for loading different set of sound setup you can assign midi controller like a button for each button to load different project, I think you can do what you were wanting to do, it will simulate like a scene so each midi controller button can be assigned to different AUM project.

Where do you get Ravenscroft and bs-16i?

How does One get audio to monitors? Il conect my midi keyboard and they play fine on my vsts but sound comes out my iPhone idk how to wire sound to my monitors...maybe Bluetooth adapter?

Is the iPad connected to the keyboard?

Check Camelot! It does all you need.

Can it play in background if running loop community or ableton live??

Welp, the latest Korg Module Pro update introduced AU compatibility! Hooray

Great!

I use it all the time!! It’s 🔥 🔥 🔥

To those of us who have been playing since the 80’s this is reaching nirvana type of territory.

What cable is that you are using to connect both keys to the ipad? Tks :)

Great review! I bought this app in a panic. Now I know what it does.

Thanks for the great info. Nice to understand the issues between AU and IAA before I start buying

I think one could use files directory and save the different tracks there. It could Be used as alphabetic library. Is It possible to organize them in a desirable set-list? Could there be a Midi command to change files
