2014: Things to look forward to, 1

I thought I'd write about a few things that I'm looking forward to this year and that I expect you'll be looking forward to as well. I'm not sure at this stage how many of these posts I'll do, but if I get to 14 that'll be about it I expect.

So, for the first of these, something I'm sure that the vast majority of iOS music makers are looking forward to, Audiobus 2 of course!

We've seen videos, we've seen screenshots and we've heard some of the features that are coming to Audiobus 2, and it sounds and looks amazing.

I think that one of the most interesting things will be seeing how people share their workflows on social media networks. Preset or patch sharing (I'm still most fond of bus routes) will make Audiobus 2 really powerful as I'm always amazed by how people use and combine their music making apps in ways I haven't thought of before.

So it's a big one to look forward to and I'm sure it'll be great when it arrives. I'm especially looking forward to finding out about the features that they haven't made public so far. I'm always curious about that kind of thing.

So here's to Audiobus 2 in 2014. Definitely one to look forward to.

And |I look forward to the moment there will be a single folder named Samples in which all individual apps wil put their samples, in subfolders. This Samples top level folder should be accessible via dropbox, direct ftp, wifi, airdrop etc.

Instaead of having lots of synth- and drumapps, each with their own samplelibrary, then every app will have access to all the samples on the ipad.

Shouldn't be too hard to implement.

I take it that you're new to iOS music making? This will never happen because of the whole 'access to the file system' thing and the fact that Apple won't let apps share resources. Amidio tried it must be a few years ago and Apple shut it down - so It's not a case of implementation, if it was I think they'd have done it by now!
it's something you have to learn to deal with.
