What you describe is the main reason I use AP; Fab Filters. I have Cubasis 2, which as you know cannot offer FF compatibility, and Garage Band, ditto. I also have Logic Pro X on my Mac. LPX obviously offers the most features, but to use them, equally obviously, I have to be in my office. Auria Pro, does for me what it does for you, and my point is a huge part of that is down to FF more than anything else, as AP can be used wherever we have our iPads.
I agree. AP is well worth the investment, especially at sale price. Pity FF were not also on sale.
Fab Filter and PHP plugs tend to go on sale about once a year, based on the past few years. Typically not together, but I have almost the entire suite, and bought them all on sale over time. Solid investment
I just made the purchase, I've been vacillating on this purchase for some time now, given I have more hardware and software than I can ever realistically master (bad pun) but the reviews have been so overwhelming positive and it’s on sale so I bit the bullet.
Does anyone run this on an iPad mini 2?
Yeah but really slow, on air 2 Is Auria easy
I think the specs of the mini 2 and Air 1 are pretty similar. I manage 30+ tracks regularly with several plugs - but it's a good idea to either freeze tracks or, if you're sure you have them where you like, bounce them in place to conserve CPU. Another area where using the PHP channel strips for basic EQ and/or compression can go a long way without hogging CPU, saving the more heavy duty plugs for the special tracks or auxes ...
is it correct that the demo song has a horrible sound quality and doesn't do the engine justice at all ? I hope so...
But some edit options worked nicely and some are really smart and well thought out.
If it sustains the final test and does the external gear effect trick, I'll be happy and might get used to it's workflow. Which means a lot from a die-hard Saw-Studio user.
None of the included projects are anything to write home over. Even McCartney's son James' tune is ehhh and the sounds are just okay.
To me Auria Pro is like ProTools mobile. It is very garbage in garbage out. The PSP plugins and of course the Fab Filters can really help shape a sound into something great but I still try to have everything begin at the source. If it's a mic, get the best recording & mic placement possible. If it's an AB3 recording, get your sound down at the souce app.
AuriaPro is just very honest. It's a professional recording environment so if those who make hiphop, etc. expect some MPC style digital dirt or a compression algorithm giving some character to a file do all before recording into Auria. With a good interface it is incredibly clean.
Looks lovely in the video.. The audio quantize is a blast...
But, what about LINK? Can 'Link to midi' (App) perform well in Auria Pro?
If you're talking about Ableton Link, Auria doesn't support it, and I doubt it will in the near future (nor Cubasis, or Garageband, or Audio Evolution Mobile, or any current iOS DAW). If Ableton Link is crucial to you, perhaps you should wait to see if BM3 will support it before investing in a DAW.

Yeah, I have most FF, too. Alas, the latest, Pro-R, is still $39.99. More than I want to pay for an IOS Reverb, no matter how good it might be. Love the demos, but no sale at that price.
James McCartney's songwriting skills are virtually non existent. In his case, the Apple has fallen very far from the tree and rolled into a ditch.
Bit harsh?
I bought this and coming from Reason on desktop I just found it frustrating to use. Deleted after a while and never used it since

Not if you've heard him, or worse seen him perform. Looks to curdle milk, and all the charisma of a dead cat.

Careful. There are those who might pursue you with flaming pitchforks, screaming "Burn the unbeliever."
You know that holding back what you REALLY think is bad for stress levels right?
Deleted after a while and never used it since
I can't bring myself to delete it, but it's my biggest app purchase regret. Ugly and clunky, and a textbook case of what not to do for UX. My fingers are crossed for BM3...
That said, it's worth trying out on this sale.
@JRSIV thanks for confirmation, I was puzzled about such a content for an otherwise first class app
Just a couple of hours and I got around the io and track paradigm, works great with the ID22 and external hardware channels. Some loss on handling snippet edges, but big gain in simultaneous cuts across tracks.
According to my experience (many) productivity tools don't reveal their full potential immediately, but take some effort to dig into.
the developer of multitrack DAW once explained how Ableton Link works, or rather what he would have to implement to support it.
Frankly said Link is a total nogo if your target is a top notch audio system.
Sample rate conversion is an essential part in Link (in my understanding) and that never comes without some decrease in quality.
Probably a minor aspect in dance/club/top40 stuff, but not tolerable in acoustic productions.
That's why it makes sense to leave it from DAWs like Auria Pro and the affore mentioned ones.

Tell me I'm wrong.
If you came from Reason, Ableton Live or Bitwig, and expect that kind of workflow, you'll be disappointed. Auria Pro is basically ProTools (with a Logic Pro X look). In fact, for pure stereo and multitrack audio editing, I found it way better than Logic or ProTools: the gain handle was genius touch, for example, and only recently Logic got non-destructive gain editing for that matter.
The Audio Quantize looks so sweet. And BM2 does have Ableton Link... pretty sure BM3 will have it also..
Wonder if anyone ever attempted to try 'Link to Midi' with Auria Pro?
Avid finally seems to have submitted to the idea that different genres of music will gravitate to different DAW's. Since they were the only game in town for years (hell they are still the pro studio de facto standard) they took it for granted.
Today there are at least a dozen full featured DAW's available. Naturally to differentiate themselves some companies have geared their workflow towards certain genres of music. Ableton Live, BitWig and FL Studio are obviously friendly to EDM and more recent genres. Digital Performer, Cubase & Logic are very MIDI friendly for composition.
Studio One is trying to appeal to everyone, with a recent move to woo disgruntled ProTools users upset with the post production direction PT seems to be heading to. So it's clear modern DAW's are like electric guitars: Strats & Les Paul's are both guitars, but vasty different as well.
@theconnactic is spot on that going from one DAW to another with expectations is probably not going to bear fruit. Just too much variety in 2017.
We Auria Pro devotees come from different experiences, some have used many other DAW's extensively while others are learning with Auria as their first DAW. What I love about Auria Pro is it doesn't seem to have a horse in the race, WaveMachine isn't JUST hunting MIDI heads or JUST trying to be get audio recordists to use it as a companion for another DAW via import/export and it's superior mix engine.
It is not the DAW for everyone for sure, but this sale highlights the insane app bargains iOS users enjoy over desktop users. If you wanted to try Cubase, Studio One, Harrison MixBus, whatever- unincumbered, with no gimped trial feature set, it would be easily over $150 at the least.
For less than a quarter of that you can own the full Auria Pro app. To me, even if you favor Cubasis, GB, etc., Auria Pro is worth having just for the Fab Filter synths included and for the ability to but FF plugins. Auria is my main DAW, my old PT m-box set up is stored away, but I still bought Cubasis to have an alternate option every once in awhile. I bought it during a sale too.
To me since these sales only pop up 2 to 3 times a year at most, and hey I get it, I'm busted out half the time, but if you can swing it it's worth it.
End of unsolicited commercial for Auria Pro™ brand Digital Audio Workstation for Apple iPad!
I shall explore his body of work later, had it not been for you I wouldn't know the son of Thumbs Aloft was making music.
I am desperately out of touch, such is living in a cultural backwater.
(edit) Alright, dragging it back on-topic ... Love AP especially for the FabFilter plugs but don't use it much these days. I find the more fluid workflow of AB/AUM/Whatever suits me more. Yes, the UI could do with some streamlining.
Still a quality app though, amazing what can be done on iOS, etc, etc.
Well I've just taken a listen to some James McCartney on youtube and I find no problem with his work whatsoever.

You are Ringo Starr, I claim my five pounds.

Ditto. It is FF that keeps me using Auria Pro. Although, there are many other great things about the app. I used Cubasis for a long time, but got frustrated with a couple of problems that never get fixed. Unlike AP, there was no Fab Filters to keep me putting up with them. Nor are FF likely to expand their IOS app compatibility. So the deal that AP developers made with FF now looks even smarter.
I don't know about FF not changing. It would make huge sense for them to become standalone AU apps, because you'd have to bet that a large number of the folks who don't like Auria, but have been listening to the raves about FF, would scoop them up.
Coming from the old fashioned world of analog recording, AP makes the most sense to me. It works for what I do. I don't think I'd bother with Cubasis at this point in time, as I think it somewhat fills the same niche, and I now have midi to mess with in AP. I did just pick up Beathawk, mainly for the samples, but it gives me a competely different workflow to mess with as well, which I'm looking forward to.
I have found nothing in AP so far that limits what I want to do. To be honest, I have barely scratched the surface, but my limitations so far are my personal ones as a player. So, while I'm a huge fan boy of AP, I'm also practical, and there is not much point in trying a bunch of other similar software until I run up against something in the current set that I need to do, that I can't. And if I had settled on any of the other DAWs to start with, I'd have to say I'd be in the same boat. But we all like to toot our decisions to the world - it makes us feel smarter.
Grabbing Beathawk is a decision worth tooting about
