IPad mic noise
Thanks for a great app and for supporting Audiobus! I just started using MTdaw with AB and various input apps and I noticed that it is picking up external mic noise from my Ipad3. I tried turning off input monitoring but it didn't help.please tell me how to fix this. Thanks,jomazz

Re: IPad mic noise
Can you be more specific, what input apps and what type of noise? Since the other apps are input apps, it's possible that input monitoring is happening through them as well. It's all a shared system with more than one app sharing the input and output hardware, so even if multitrack is told to stop monitoring, another app may still be monitoring.
Audiobus has some specific monitoring functionality. When you turn on Input Monitoring in multitrack, a message is sent to audiobus, which in turn sends the message to other connected apps to tell them to stop producing audio through the hardware, and they are supposed to just send the audio to audiobus. This is to avoid duplicate (double monitoring, which has a fast echo like sound to it). However, when you turn off Input Monitoring in multitrack, the other apps are supposed to start producing audio through the speaker again (if thats their design).
This is in contrast to the way multitrack worked before audiobus, where turning off input monitoring would stop all forms of it. So, to turn off all forms of input monitoring when using audiobus, it is now up to the other input app makers to have their own input monitoring switches to turn it on/off.
