Limitations of Audio Unit extensions
Dear all,
Below please find the summary of known issues / limitations when using Audio Unit extensions with Cubasis 1.9.8.
Cubasis 1.9.8 - Limitations of Audio Unit extensions
• Using multiple instances of an Audio Unit plug-in in a Cubasis project, or quickly switching between projects that contain Audio Unit instances can lead to AU instrument loading issues, instabilities, or render Cubasis unreliable.
We expect this iOS bug to be fixed by Apple somet…
Limitations of Audio Unit automation
With the support of Audio Unit automation in Cubasis 2.3, it is possible to automate various parameters of instruments and effects assigned via Audio Unit. Below please find the summary of known issues and limitations when using Audio Unit automation with Cubasis 2.3.
Using multiple AU automations in parallel can lead to instabilities, or render Cubasis unreliable. If you encounter problems, we suggest to make use of Cubasis’ track freeze feature.

Limitations of Inter-App Audio (format has been discontinued by Apple)
Limitations of Inter-App Audio
IAA allows to route audio, MIDI and effects between Cubasis (host) and compatible node apps in realtime. There are three basic types of nodes:
• Effects can be set as insert or send effects
• Instruments are assigned to a MIDI track and automatically receive MIDI from Cubasis
• Generators are inputs for audio tracks
It depends on the app manufacturer what type of nodes are available.
IAA apps that are not listed as instruments (only for audio track inputs) ar…
Limitations of Audiobus 3
Audiobus 3 allows you to…
• … record and input audio and MIDI from other apps.
• … output audio and MIDI from Cubasis into other apps.
• … assign additional effect processor apps to Cubasis and other apps.
There are chances of unreliable behavior, which, if occurring, is not caused by Cubasis but due to potential complex app connections that can be established via Audiobus 3, which may also include other third party technologies such as Inter-App Audio and Audio Unit.
In this regard, issues…
Best wishes,
I have had a problem with inter app audio I have installed the Cubasis 3 daw on my iPad. I I had it initially working with GeoShred app through inter app but after I installed some in app purchases it seems to have stopped working is there any fix for this particular problem ?
It is unable to trigger the app from Cubase , it seems like it can no longer talk to GeoShred.
If I’m not totally mistaken IAA support in GeoShred was removed a few versions back.
