Audio interupted while on stage, HELP!

Sharonzaz I have done that 11.30pm to 8.30am , I only started having issues since last update on Stage with ST3 being interrupted by mutes when notification appears on top of screen and on my iPhone through the night I get beeps notifications like my battery is fully charged , or other useless things, I have gone through everything I can think of to disable this without success, it’s driving me nuts that after all these years using apple products since their birth I can’t seem to work out what this obvious hidden setting is.
It shows how apple don’t care anymore about keeping things simple and logical for end users, they constantly keep adding features most of us don’t need or want I wish my wallet was as full as their settings
The logic should be if you add a feature turn it off and let the user decide to turn it on if they need it, don’t assume everyone wants it and ram it down our throats, this applies to ST3 all special or new additions should be an option we can choose to turn on if really needed at our choosing, this way all users make the decision of what they want and then they know how to deal with it.
Thanks again for all your suggestions it looks like I have to piss in apples ear again

Sharonzaz Thanks for that tip but I have used the do not disturb option with a set time 11pm to 9am and yes I never got interrupted its after the latest updates it has started, after speaking to apple SIRI SUGGESTIONS might be my problem , it was enabled on my phone but it was disabled on my iPad which also got unexpected notifications, but because in FOCUS settings on my phone I had enabled SHARE ACROSS DEVICES I am assuming SIRI notifications was pushed to my IPAD while I was performing , even though I had the iPad in aeroplane mode on and notifications turned off as well as wifi disconnected the notification from my phone must have still been shared to the iPad via Bluetooth and created the pop down and mute of audio, so now I have turned off Siri suggestions and share across devices on all of my devices I am hoping I will get a good night sleep and won’t get embarrassed on stage, WHAT A COMPLICATED BROTHEL!
Thanks again I will confirm if this has fixed the problem.

peter I thought Apple is Policing what you can and can’t do , so if it’s logical to have certain settings Automated what is the security risk , if the software is much more thoughtfully designed for the end user , it’s much better if everything is automatically perfectly setup for the user to benefit then for the user to stumble around a non logical OS settings and possibly unknowingly create problems or even security risks.
Every app depending on its purpose should be able to have OS settings control to suit the apps needs to make it perfectly simple for the end user with Apples supervision .
This way the end user just fires up the app he needs and will have no issue of surprises due to poor OS settings choices, which only very computer literate people can understand.
If I as the end user give permission for you to create the perfect environment to make things easy for me Apple should see the logic and give you permission to do only those things they approve for that app.
So then we all benefit Apple sells more devices you get more users using your app and we the customer are very happy because we can spend more time using the software and less time farting around with complex OS settings.
ST3 has enough of those already.
On stage nothing should bother me especially loosing audio that is a major NO NO, all my normal settings were set for this not to happen yet it did happen as FOCUS was introduced and there is a combination of settings that allowed this to happen, this is not acceptable,
The same applies to getting alerts on my phone while sleeping yet all my settings were set for this not to happen but the over engendered operating system has failed due to it’s ridiculous flexibility and complexity.
That’s why my suggestion of the actual apps making these decisions to setup the operating system to make it absolutely perfect for the user to use the app without needing to be a genius would be a much wiser thing to do by Apple, they still have a final say, the customer points out the bad logic and you have the freedom to create the perfect app with apple overlooking as to what app gets what permissions.
Anyway it’s just my thoughts no pressure to do anything as I am in semi retirement and have plenty of time to fiddle.

Skid thanks Skid I use my iPad Pro as my main device , iPad 9th gen as my backup / guest device, my iPhone 11 Pro Max 512gb as my background music/very small gig / god help me backup/ rehearse anywhere device, and my wife’s latest iPad Pro as just another backup device that stays at home incase all my devices go missing , iMac is another backup/ editing tool I use at home to create complicated backing songs using LOGIC,
So I feel pretty safe it’s just the apple operating system has flaws in it where FOCUS and NOTIFICATIONS on multiple devices on same account can stuff you up on stage and in bed if you turn certain buttons on without knowing the consequences, if I choose not to be disturbed in one device no other setting should override this , but it does.
The settings on apple devices has become too smart and flexible for its own good.
I like the flexibility while not on stage but I hate it on stage or in bed, that’s why I suggest a do not disturb switch in the ST3 app operating system settings this should have a switch so we can turn it on/off for ST3 to simply not allow any interruptions and this includes when sleeping it should obey my time settings when do not disturb is in action.
This then makes it very easy to setup for us the user.
