If you purchase Auria Pro at this price and are not satisfied with what it offers, then you should probably be looking at a solution other than iOS for your music making.

You make it sound like the Second Comming.
Auria Pro is a fine quality app with much to offer. The same is true of Cubasis. The developers of both know that there is always room to continue evolving and improving those apps. Both currently have features that the other lacks, therefore being satisfied depends on what we, as individuals, wish to do with the respective apps.
As someone who bought both, I feel like I'm covered for my future needs and ambitions.
Those kind of lists tend to get very biased.
What's one persons pro is another persons con and vice versa.
AuriaPro's 'channel-strips' beat Cubasis hands down as does the channel/bus-routing (We don't yet know what Cubasis 2.0 will bring) while (in my very humble opinion) Cubasis wins hands down when it comes to using both AU and IAA-Instruments & Plug-Ins. Auria Pro's 'Lyra' has support for wide variety of formats but lacks 'user-sampling' sure you can copy an 'event' to Lyra in Auria Pro but no editing of keyboard mapping and zones which the Mini-Sampler in Cubasis provides.
The current version of Cubasis is not very 'deep'(I can safely say I know the current 1.9.9 inside-out with all the quirks and yet un-fixed issues) but there-in lies it's (as I see it) strength as it keeps the me focused without too many options.
I did give the desktop versions of the included synths (One and Twin) a spin but they did not 'click' with regarding tweaking(they are hardly 'touch-optimized' maiing tweaking a pain). As preset-players the were quite nice sounding.
It makes no sense to 'replace' one with another as I see them as complements to each other.
(If I make tracker-analogy it would like replacing Renoise with SunVox when both complement each other).
There's no denying that Rim does an amazing job with the app and user-iteraction.
The most important part is that we are and stay happy with tools we choose to use
Again
And then Cue2 will come out. And then AP with have AU. And then...
Amen!
@JohnnyGoodyear, nailed it! (talking about the post above, not porn, here.)
Amen brother!
For sure, but to try to give impartial advice is what I think is the thing to do. I'm sorry, but you do come over as something like the PR man for wavemachine labs at times
. Out of interest, are you deeply familiar with all the desktop DAWS and what they can do ?
Well, Logic Pro X is still my favourite on the Desktop, and it's still installed on my OSX machine, and in the past year I used Studio One 3, Reaper, Cubase (8.5, I think), Sonar and of course the ubiquitous Pro Tools (vs 10-12). All working in several different projects and studios. I don't claim being a specialist in all of them, but I can handle myself. So the answer is: no, I don't know every Desktop DAW out there (does anyone?), but I am fairly familiar with the "big boys" and what they can do.
Now it's my turn, @Igneous1: did you try Auria Pro yet?
werd.
Spot on
I have and use both as well. They each have their strengths and weaknesses
Did you get any of the FF plug-ins, @jn2002dk?
Well you've got me there. I haven't started any kind of a real project on AP (or Cubasis for that matter), I was initially put off by the piano roll when AP came out, but it's somewhat better now and I was initially planning on using it like Gadget - but Gadget with audio. However the twin two synth doesn't allow any kind of use like I how I normally work with the Gadget synths, in terms of running lots of synth parts. I have spent a lot of time with AP however, looking at what I think it can do and I have Timeless, Volcano, Q1, C1 and the MB comp, so hopefully I'm not just a 'hobbyist'. Yes, I do think it's very good (as well), but currently I can do what I want on the desktop with FL Studio and (a limitation of iOS) I know where all my sounds are - the dreaded iOS lack of file management.
I have most of the One and Twin 2 preset packs, Microwarmer and Saturn. I also had Turnado before i got Auria
In my not very impartial opinion...
Cubasis has very easy routing options for AB, IAA, and AU very well laid out and easy to set up.
It also has a very nice sampler instrument, a nice built-in synth, and a good controller keyboard.
However it also suffers from quite a few flaws and compromises. Having to use the media bay for all import/export is tedious, please just let me paste a file directly into the to timeline, and let me export from it too.
Sound editing is very basic, no crossfades means it's impossible to fix artefacts between different audio regions.
Mixing is primitive, the faders are tiny and imprecise, no routing or bussing of any kind, which makes mixing drums for example very fiddly.
The built-in effects are also very basic.
Auria is a much more fully featured mixing environment, with a large range of high quality effects that are streets ahead of Cubasis. Bread and butter stuff like EQ and compression that is essential for any polished mix is much easier in Auria. It also has Aux sends, busses, and sub groups which Cubasis lacks.
What Auria lacks is a decent MIDI controller, and maybe some refinement in its touch-based controls (although the piano roll has improved immensely in recent months). But considering the capabilities of both apps it's hard to avoid the conclusion that Auria is far more fully featured, and of course as a result also much more complex, and thus harder to learn.
I don't have Turnado, for that matter: curious about how does it compare to a Volcano plus Saturn combo.
@Igneous1, yes, indeed they are pretty CPU intensive, specially Twin2. Out of curiously, what is your iPad model? iOS file management sucks, and unfortunately I think it will suck for a while...
I don't have Volcano so i can't make that comparison. Saturn is fantastic. Truly amazing. Turnado is a strange one to me. It has a lot of effects but i find it kind of unpredictable and it's not easy to do subtle effects with it. For doing crazy things to a drum loop though, it's great and lots of fun
On a side note, kind of off topic... A couple of users have replied to my posts with useful links on the site with more info. In particular, @richardyot sent me a link to a comment on another thread regarding time-stretching/warping in Auria Pro. It was late when he replied or when I happened to read it, and I'd intended to read it later. However, it's buried a few pages deep now.
I found it by skimming all the pages in the thread again, but is there an easier way on the forum to tag/pin a comment you want to save for referring to later?
You can bookmark a thread, but not sure about specific comments. That was something I've wanted before as well.
It's possible to bookmark comments too. Make a link from the 'time' next to the 'Flag' of the post.

I went backwards to go forwards on this one. Started a word doc and now simply copy and paste useful nuggets as I come across them. Add an appropriate navigation pane title, drag and drop them alphabetically....seemed like an old nanny-goat way of doing things, but is direct, quick and easy and after the first 100 or so entries (probably very slanted to me, apps I have, particular areas of interest/weakness etc) I've found that when at a loose end I go and wander through; a good repository of 'how to' but also inspiration...
Evernote web clipper is probably a much faster way of doing this kind of thing. Saves you having to copy and paste, just use the Evernote web extension to clip the page to a notebook of tips and tricks. That's what I do anyway...
Thanks @Samu....learnt sumptin new today!
Great ideas from @JohnnyGoodyear & @richardyot as well.
Indeed! thx
You kids out there on the internet smoking your heroin tablets....
Actually, my point---which I thought was clear enough---is that no developer owes anything more than the app they sell us. Updates are free gifts. I said the same for Cubasis, but maybe an acknowledgement of that in your quoting of my post wouldn't have sounded as precious.
Updates are strictly speaking not free gifts. They are frequently bug fixes and add-ons of features that were promised earlier. It's a peculiarity of the collaborative app market. The apps are reasonably priced, and the consumer happily accepts that the purchased product is not necessarily finished.
Cubasis 2.0 seems to be a different story.
It's especially true on iOS that, if you own an app and have a vested interest in it succeeding, it pays to encourage others to buy it. IOS developers need the help. They don't have big PR departments, they're selling their work at incredibly low prices, handing out free updates, trying to keep up with Apple whims, etc... It probably does more harm to the complainer to carry on about an app's shortcomings in public than it does to contact the dev directly about them. Publicly champion all the great things the app does, and the likelihood of that app living to see future updates increases.
Obviously, one should be truthful in praising an app. I think most of what gets said about Auria Pro is verifiable fact. A potential buyer can take that information for what it's worth to them personally.
very astute.
I quoted myself here...
I'm not that pleased with that I have to buy every IAP again to my Auria Pro...
Things bought in my original Auria upgraded to Pro should be free, it is bought on the same AppleID account...
I deleted my Upgraded Auria Pro before installing the real Auria Pro because there's seems to be diffrent folder to contain samples to Lyra, and I had a lot of EXS24 samples exported from Logic Pro X and don't wanted to stick my iPad Pro with 13-14 GB samples in two versions of Auria...
Still, Auria Pro is very very good!
