((( AURIA PRO ))) & ((( AURIA 2.0 ))) in the Store NOW!

Kaikoo

After reinstalling and restoreing the purchase, I can turn the Twin2 and One on the midi track! Thank you!

So am I correct that if I already own Auria, I should NOT by Auria Pro, but instead download the current Auria update, and then upgrade in the app?

does this mean Rim @WaveMachineLabs will maintain two identical binaries?

is there any reason it would be better to repurchase pro and start anew?

Unless there's actually something that's been posted by Rim in the past about the upgrade only being $25, it's fair to say that many of us have misread what we thought was offered. I know that I misread it a few months ago and decided not to buy Auria and just wait for Auria Pro to be released. Now I'm just waiting for it to become an AU host, then I'll gladly buy it.

Right and the "standard" not Auria Pro price is now $24.99.  We are talking about the Pro version.

All it says here is that "Existing Auria users will be able to purchase an in-app upgrade to Auria Pro for a reduced price." The reduced price is only $10 off but it never says how much of a discount the Pro version will be.

Maybe the confusion is because people misread this and assumed the standard version is the pro version.

Could be, certainly fooled me as it had been picked up and rewritten/reinterpreted across the interwebs.I have definitely seen it stated as being a 50% upgrade. I would have bought Cubasis if I knew the upgrade was going to be this steep.

I think regardless of what was promised or misinterpreted, £30 for an update is too steep for me. I'm not a rich man, I've already spent a small fortune on apps and hardware so I can use Auria in the first place so this is not going to be given the thumbs up from Mrs Monzo. Mouths to feed etc.

Rim, could you somehow figure out a way to raise the price even higher for people in England?

Nice.

Peanutcram

Yay it's alive Insta upgrade for me at any price. Now backing up projects... There are a lot of confusing threads out there. I have to say thanks to WML. Auria is my most valuable app lonely at the top. Rim is one of the iOS pioneers. I appreciate aLot! ...(should have backuped earlier)

Kaikoo

I wish in near future Auria existing user who purchase the upgraded version can join Auria Pro.Because there is a feeling some thing could be left behind. Psycological hinderence. It exist!

@RockySmalls yep, agreed.  I'm all for friendly and fair. I mostly wanted to point out that any discount is friendly.  And the misconceptions on pricing weren't Rim's fault.  

To be honest, I'm disappointed too [edit: but this is more an issue of my limited budget than anything else].  Auria at $25 was my largest iOS purchase, so I don't know if I can do Pro.  I may have jumped on it today at another $25 upgrade price...  but I'm hesitant now.  (all you real producers who are doing more than tinkering like me, go ahead and laugh.  I know the app is a great deal at any price)

Also, with the misconceptions it seemed there had been a general opinion of: 

"wow Auria Pro is coming out for $50.  I can start the learning curve on Auria 1 for $25 and have no extra cost when I upgrade for $25"  

Again, not Rim's fault but I understand the disappointment.  Lets just all be nice to each other, to Rim, to those feeling burned by incorrect pricing rumors

Tones4Christ

Thanks Rim for all the countless hours of dedication and hard work put into this awesome product.

I think the price set is really fair considering all you're offering and when set side by side to what's available from Cubasis going for $50 it is definitely fair.

Wishing continued success and prosperity!!!!

RockySmalls, no one is forcing you to buy the upgrade.  Remember, this is not an update, those are free, and the update to Auria 2.0 has a lot of value.  I improved the performance in Auria quite a bit from 1.555 to 2.0.  As an existing Auria user, nothing is being taken away from you, in fact I've given you quite a bit for free, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

On the other hand, Auria Pro is a brand new product with entirely new features.  Two powerful synthesizers, a sample player with a 4GB library, MIDI support, real-time audio warping, etc. etc.  It might as well have a different name.  But I decided to call it Auria Pro.  And I also decided to give Auria users a break on the price.  I didn't have to do that.  Seems fair to me.

So which way to get pro with the least amount of trouble?
Upgrade shows the discount price but appears to have synth installation issues... Buying seperately does not display the discount price so I don't know what I'm going to get charged...

lots of info in this thread, but I think Rim posted there is potential bug behavior if you do it this way.  He suggested: 

1. delete Auria after backups
2. download Auria 2 (free)
3. upgrade to Auria Pro via IAP (discounted)

theconnactic

I think the pricing is fair, and I'd buy it even if I had to pay the full price. Auria is a professional grade application, even more so the "Pro" version of Auria, and - as I said elsewhere - at least for me, it already paid itself several times, since I have been using it to record professionally, for a living, something I couldn't do with, say, Cubasis.

All the best!

can somebody tell me a little more about how the midi piano roll/sequencer works - I'm hoping that it works similar to Gadget and users can do midi loop recording.  So say I have a drum beat audio track on bars 1-4, I can set Auria to loop those 4 bars, and then set up a midi track and hit record to play something over top - will Auria record midi notes for 4 bars, then loop back to beginning and re-record over the midi notes I played the previous loop?    (terrible explanation I know, but if it works anything like Gadget I'm sold - hell, i'm probably sold anyways...)

Hmtx

hold on a minute... so I can bring in all my Mainstage (or Logic) EXS sample libraries?? @AIRstudio more details please, this sounds amazing.

richardyot

@Halftone unfortunately Auria doesn't do loop recording AFAIK. Once you press record the playhead will not loop.

Really? People complain about 25 to 39 $ for such a bunch of software. That´s a reason we will not see many iPad Pro apps etc. 
C´mon.... Auria Pro is not my cup of tea but i think for all iOS music producers this is a very good value and i would bought (upgrade) it if i had still an iPad yet! 
I think this app is a "pro" app and it´s priced well. 
When even the die hard iOS producers want save on pro apps.... it´s still a dead land for developers! 

Matt_Fletcher_2000

Ah - the dollar to pound thing is also doing my head in.

Do I save £10 by upgrading through Auria 2?

Or is it less than a £10 saving because of VAT?

I'm pretty sure the upgrade is £10 cheaper. All the prices quoted on the App Store include VAT. So Auria Pro is £39.99, and the upgrade from within regular Auria is £29.99

Oh my days ...

Thanks. I'm going to go that way then. Is that what you did?

Master Halftone,

I think you can only use loop to selection on the list. The whole sytem just aim to loop that section only, You can solo that part with the drum track you have,I guess! It is different to Gadget, It gives so much details and options how you input your midi notes which needs your learning. It is too good once you are intuitvely recognizing without further speaking, it is too awesome!

Yes, that's what I did. Once I bought the two new Fabfilters and the presets for the synths it came to over £90 though...

@AQ808 you've made your point. Let it go please.

Some of us need to go take a look at the DAW pricing for PC's, or Logic Pro.  Then come back here and say again $40-50 is a high price to pay.

@crzycrs thanks for the report.

Me too , pay that much, just ignore it for the lovely, everyone !

It's not $25 - 39 for us in the UK, the upgrade price is over $45. Add on top nearly $30 I paid for the original that's $75. And that's without the Fabfilters I've bought.

I'm not a professional producer, I've got a family to feed and this is too much money for me to spend on one app, particularly when I'll have to do the same thing all over again when the next one comes out. This will scare off dabblers like me, and the World of iOS music will become the sole realm of professionals and those with plenty of disposable income. I'd really hoped as an existing customer I'd get a better deal than this.

You mean Logic Pro that came with half a ton of instruments, samples, Pro quality recording, professional quality effects, and free updates that included the Alchemy synth and library and only for around twice price I'll end up paying for Auria? Yes, I'll come back here and say $75 + the cost of the effects and other bits needed to use it to its full potential, plus future update costs is a high price to pay.

Matt_Fletcher_2000

Edit: @richardyot ...

Woah... Get you, money bags

I'll be sticking with ProQ1 and ProC1 for a while.

I didn't realise that the synths had preset packs you can purchase. I think I'll stick to making my own .

It seems that the piano roll / keyboard does not have any scale function which is a bit of a shame IMO. I did suggest this on the Auria forum actually.

I need to figure out if I can really work in ernest with a keyboard/piano roll with out this (it's one of the lovely things about Gadget and Animoogs keyboard etc etc)
