 +This tutorial illustrates using [[https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/enso-looper/id1449640589|Enso Looper by Audio Damage, Inc.]] to reduce heavy CPU usage one can encounter using synth apps and plug-ins in apps such as AudioBus, AUM, and Ape Matrix.

   - Remove the recorded app from the session   - Remove the recorded app from the session
 NOTE: This is trading //flexibility// and //RAM usage// for CPU usage, so it may not be appropriate for many use cases. An iPad won’t be able to handle long loops, or more than a few instances before becoming unstable. But it can be helpful if all of a sudden that killer jam is developing crackles. NOTE: This is trading //flexibility// and //RAM usage// for CPU usage, so it may not be appropriate for many use cases.

 Let’s assume you have some sort of sequencer (we’ll use Atom Piano Roll in this example) sending MIDI to an app (we’ll use Arturia iSEM), and possibly some heavy FX in the chain.

 You can now mute or remove any apps before Enso in the chain without affecting the audio since it’s coming from Enso now. HOWEVER, if you remove apps, you can’t go back to make changes. So, you probably want to save a “before” snapshot to return to. You can now mute or remove any apps before Enso in the chain without affecting the audio since it’s coming from Enso now.
