I’m using Cubasus 2.3.1 but as long as I can remember (since downloading it in June 2017), it’s always put out crappy audio via Bluetooth.
What do I mean by that? Well if you’re listening on your ipad or any device plugged into the headphone or lightening port- it all sounds fine. But as soon as you connect a pair of Bluetooth headphones the sounds quality plummets and it sounds horrible!
Is there a setting I need to change? Seems odd to reduce the sound quality so much over Bluetooth.
I do live, multitrack recording of my drums. I’ll play a lot of takes and go back with my Bluetooth headphones later to pick out which ones at least work out for timing but the sounds sucks coming out over Bluetooth- what gives??
There should be no audible difference, when using Bluetooth speakers or headphones with the iPad and Cubasis audio quality-wise.
Please let me have your feedback, if this is the case at your end.
Additionally, please let us know what BT headphone devices you have in use.
I’ve tried using Beats wireless earbuds, Plantronics wireless earbuds and a JBL Charge 2+ bluetooth speaker- whenever I swap over to either- the audio quality reduces to something along the lines of telephone/AM radio quality audio.
Is there possibly a setting on my iDevice or in Cubasis I’d need to change?
No changes for me with that fix.
Last Cubasis update, last iPad Pro and last ios 12.1.3. I’ve the Sony MDR-1ABT. Otherwise if I plug a cabled headphones with Apple jack to usb-c cable I can’t charge iPad at the same time and that is frustrating…
We do not recommend to use BT headphones with Cubasis, apart from listening to mixes etc.
BT audio comes with latency, which makes it hard/impossible to use real-time applications such as Cubasis and/or other DAW-type apps, instruments etc.
I’d think Apple’s USB-C-Digital-AV-Multiport-Adapter might make sense for you, which allows loading the iPad and provides another USB C slot to connect your USB C headphone to.
I’m having so much trouble with Bluetooth audio in Cubasis still with an iPad Pro. I’m using Positive Vibration 2 Bluetooth headphones by House of Marley. Very occasionally, I can get the headphones to work by setting the audio option to Bluetooth and ensuring the headphones I’m using are selected, but this is a rarity.
There’s absolutely zero issues getting Bluetooth audio to work with these headphones in AUM with numerous AUv3 plugins running -not a glitch and no need to choose the headphones either…
I definitely have been using that process but having limited success. I have found a method that seems to work practically every time.
I ensure the headphones are not connected via Bluetooth
within Cubasis settings, I then turn on audio via Bluetooth on.
I go to the Home Screen and turn on my Bluetooth headphones. If they don’t automatically connect, I do that via apples Bluetooth settings
I return to Cubasis and the audio issues are fixed and the headphones are playing all tracks correctly.
Any other method seems to either not work at all, only play certain notes or tracks, or some of the audio from plugins sound like they are in slow motion, which suggests certain audio buffers are not being read correctly or something related. The method above works almost 100 percent of the time, but is not what one will intuitively do every time.
