Overindulgence: Cubasis + Auria Pro?
Some time ago I bought Cubasis on sale, and I just bought Auria Pro on sale. I'm not certain I can benefit from both given I also bought quite a few effects apps, etc. on sale. Unless there is something special that Auria Pro does that Cubasis (plus a bunch of apps) can't?
Your pup in app-addiction.

I have both and still use Cubase and Reaper on lap/desktop, instead. I hear AP is killer on the iPad Pro, however.
Yeah I've been thinking about buying either of these but it doesn't seem very fun to do all the more intricate daw stuff on the ipad. I do want a good program to record vocals though.
As is a popular view Auria can host the IAP's that it does. That's how I view Auria: an iOS DAW that is closest to my desktop DAW. Even if I only ever use Auria (and said plugs) as an arrange / mastering suite it feels worth owning.
Note: I also have both and instantly jive with Cubasis' UI.
Generally speaking, Cubasis is considered better for MIDI, whereas Auria is considered better for working with audio and recording physical instruments. At least, that's how I read it. I have both and see the value in having both.
Cubasis has only 48 ppq. Auria has 960 ppq. That alone invalidates the idea of Cubasis having better MIDI, technically. Some prefer Cubasis for plethora of reasons (well-designed GUI, brand loyalty, familiarity with the app, the sampler etc)
Pies per quarter?

Possums poo quietly?

I have no idea, but 960 is quite certainly a lot....
Auria has Fabfilter via VST conversion plugins. Have both apps. In my post purchase bewilderment and remorse, I thought I’d purchased redundant apps. Turns out I was wrong.
All bollocks to one side (and this subject does produce its fair share) I think Mr. Boone's is a good assessment.
Oh thank you for that, I guess I am in the good old bewilderment and remorse phase, I'll have to see which way the Fabfilter via VST conversion plug-ins wind blows.
Unless you've used them enough to really know both apps, any comparison is limited. Despite both being DAWs, they're very different programs. You may not even care about a feature that one offers over the other. You may like how something operates that I don't like or vice-versa. The good thing about owning both apps is that you can get to know both. I have both, and it really depends on what I'm doing. I've used AP more, know it better, and it's what I'd have if limited to one iOS DAW, but sometimes Cubasis calls to me. If there was no AP, I'd know Cubasis much better. I think MultiTrackStudio is also worthy of mention, and could be your cup-o-tea.
Logic Pro is bread and butter to me. Gadget, Garageband, Cubasis, and Auria Pro are all useful apps for initially organizing some noise on an iPad, but even without all the extra plug-ins for Auria Pro, I think AP is as close as you're going to get to a full-featured pro DAW on iOS.
There's no harm in using and learning both, that way you can make your own mind up. Cubasis should be quicker to learn, it's very easy to use.
Personally I prefer Auria, but I like Cubasis mainly for the included Micrologue synth.
Both are super nice, but Auria Pro is more Pro than Cubasis 2 (so far)...
Aurias subgroups and fabulous IAP plugin-system in superior to what you can do in Cubasis...
Fabfilters plugins can also be automated in the sequencer and Fabfilters amazing modulation system in the plugs is also something special...
If you don't know the power of Fabfilters capacity, look at the productvideos here (the desktop and Auria plugs has same functionality):

Coming from a guitar, bass & drums / Analog to ADAT to DAW background, I know how spoiled I am as an iOS music producer.
I used to not blink an eye paying $40-60 for a guitar pedal I'd end up using twice but now with my iPad recording rig I will get straight faced angry about seeing an app I bought for $5 now on sale for $2.99.
Or I'll mull over the decision to buy an Auria Fab Filter plug in for days when I don't think any decent plug in I got for my desktop DAW cost under $50, and I thought that was a steal.
Of course it's all relative. I just try to think of those times when getting all manic & indecisive over a $10 app on sale for $6. But I think that's how most of us are with G.A.S. (in this case App Acquisition Syndrome).
I just have Auria Pro because the traditional vox, guitar, bass, drums music arrangement I usually use doesn't call for much MIDI, and when I got Auria a year and a half back. I knew Cubase was a very well thought of DAW and figured Cubasis would continue that tradition but I didn't use MIDI that much so Auria just appealed to me more.
Having both is a pretty nice situation, they have so much to offer, embrace it! Lol...
Overindulgence???
Even at full price you would pay, what, $100? $200 with some of the extras? That's nothing relatively speaking, and for what these apps offer I'd call them a great gift, a confluence of industry climates that is currently producing fruit never seen before. Buy more, not less.
