Comments
Probably not really DAW's but: Nanostudio, Gadget, Beatmaker 2, Mutltir¡trackDAW...
Music studio
If it was for me (but I have no iPhone, only an iPad), I would use Cubasis and Gadget on iPad (the two apps I mostly use) and Gadget on the phone (to work on my Gadget projects when away from iPad).
It's not a full daw. But it's midi export and ableton project export make Gadget fantastic for sketching songs to export into a daw later. I've tested it on a 5S and I love it. Sadly I don't have an iPhone myself
thankfully I'm never without my iPad so it's not a big loss lol.
yeah basically i just want to be able to open and use iaa and/or au plugins on their own tracks, and add effects to those individual tracks, and maybe a bus or 2. thats all.
Yes. I forgot it and I own it. Guilty.
Caustic although unfortunately no Audiobus... but it has everything on board. Hope there wil be a future update including Audiobus and Ableton Link. Intersting to no that that Caustic is available for all platforms
intresting
Caustic supports Audiobus and IAA.
No AU in Music Studio, but it does allow IAA instruments and effects. Plus since it was originally designed for the iPhone 3GS it's easy to see on an iphone screen.
There's a limited (no save, no AB etc) free version as a trial.
Garage Band, if you don't mind that it's essentially a closed system.
Infinite Looper + Audio Bus and/or AUM + MultiTrack DAW if you don't mind rolling your own.
If you can live without the few AUx instruments that aren't also IAA I'd say BM2. No IAA or AU fx but that's where AB comes in (BM2 as send and receive, fx in the middle). For 10 bucks BM2 rules iPhone. Especially if you also want the best sampler instrument on iPhone.
I've tried several. In the past, I used iPhone instruments for noodling and maybe layered a few guitar tracks with MTDAW, but the only finished products I ever made were with something like Caustic. The Gadget update earlier this year the allowed it work on iPhone (and added additional content, including some Gadgets for apps that weren't even on iPhone yet) was a real game-changer. Unfortunately, it doesn't do audio tracks, or IAA/AUM, so it's still a "closed" ecosystem in some regards. The DAW options on iPad are more varied and definitely easier to use.
Music Studio is sort of like a souped-up version of GarageBand (same with BM2, I suppose), in that it is a true DAW but has a lot of internal sounds that would allow you to get to work within the app and put things together. It's probably the closest that I've found to an experience like I've had with MultiTrackStudio for iPad: Create MIDI tracks mixed with raw audio tracks using internal instruments, then send out the MIDI to external apps and recapture them as audio. Music Studio is a good program, but I found the piano roll editor tricky to work with, and there were annoyances like all of your IAA instruments reverting to piano tracks once you left the app and came back.
Music Studio - The best iPhone daw imo
Beatmaker 2 - Very capable but somewhat clunky workflow
Thx never was aware of that
btw Caustic for Windows and OSX is totally free, only iOS and Android version are $9.99

@eross Only prob with Caustic, which is a favorite of mine also (and the user skins available on the forum are amazing and really got me going again in Caustic) is that Caustic doesn't have buses or IAA (and doesn't host AB input instruments, is only a source).
No mixer buses for MusicStudio and its dancier cousin FL Studio Moblie, either (yes to IAA and AB instrument hosting for those two), but no mixer buses.
Really the only issue I have with Caustic is that until the new version finally comes out the sampler synth doesn't do stereo samples. I adore Caustic in every other way but that has become a big enough issue for me that I've stopped doing new projects in it until the new version comes out.
This week I've unexpectedly fallen back in love with Looptical. I adore the harp-style 'scale keyboard' playing interface, where you can have vertical axis velocity control and where you can capture polyphonic pitch bends (!)
If you're just doing audio, it's hard to beat MultiTrack DAW. Low resource, AB, IAA, nice reverb/delay, EQ, compressor. Very easy to get things going quickly.
There's so much to love about Caustic but one wrench in the machine I encounter with 808 boom-kicks in BeatBox is that hits pop and click a heck of a lot if there's any signal tail connecting from one trigger to another.
I don't know what causes this (sample cycles?) but I'm always thankful when a machine or app doesn't have this issue or there's a user workaround. Everything else about Caustic is as golden as the app is underrated (the spiritual cousin of S_nV_x).
@JonLewis you feel like doing a looptical video with what you do in it?
