Hi,
Opening the gates for third party formats provides more flexible options at the cost of possible issues unrelated to Cubasis, such as unreliable behaviour caused by other apps and technologies.
With the release of Inter-App Audio, Audio Unit and Audiobus 3 we've posted appropriate articles to share the limitations and possible workarounds when using these formats with our users (please find the links below).
If you run into issues with other instrument apps loaded in Cubasis via the available third party formats, please make sure to get in touch with the app vendors to inform them about the issue.
That way there is a chance to have problems fixed!
Of course, we do our best to maintain to exchange ourselves with other app vendors on a regular basis to improve things at their and our end.

Hope that helps!

I only just upgraded to AP last night, and kept running into an issue where edits on track A made tracks B through F do some very strange things ...
Then I realized I still had "Ripple Edit Mode" toggled on. Turned that off and everything behaved as I expected. Perhaps you've run into a similar issue?
PS - regarding original post, Auria/Auria Pro. But AUM gets honorable mention for the fair amount of action it receives for recording loops and/or stereo drum tracks into AudioShare ...
And points to Lars and the rest of the Cubasis team for providing a tasty Coke to counter Auria's Pepsi, ensuring a nice, healthy production environment satisfying all mobile DAW tastes, for the foreseeable future

Thanks for the explanation and links @LFS . The new update looks great! Maybe I will use Roomworks instead of AUFX: Space to avoid the IAA issues for now
@j_liljedahl : are you aware of the issue I mentioned about when I use AUFX:Space on at least one track in Cubasis as Send FX? When I mix down I get loads of empty space (much longer than the expected fx tail - often doubling or tripling the length of the actual track). I originally reported it on the Steinberg Cubasis forum but apparently it may not be a Cubasis problem but related to IAA implementation.
@JohnnyGoodyear says it perfectly- with the abundance of tools/apps on iOS to spark creativity & harness inspiration while improvising you'd be limiting yourself & your creativity in not using all the different brilliant apps out there. But on the same token I feel you're short changing yourself if Auria isn't the final multitrack DAW format creations are mixed and possibly mastered in.
@jjkjjk and I sound like we make the same type of more "songy" music, tracks with acoustic, electric & MIDI instruments and vocals & lyrics. Coming from an analog to ProTools background, Auria just feels like home. Very professional and adept at MIDI & audio equally.
But like @TheVimFuego I have several projects going simultaneously, none completely 'finished'. I have Final Touch and have experimented with mastering using it, but the FabFilter plugs get so much great press & attention, rightfully so, that mastering using them is equally powerful as tracking & mixing in Auria is.
I love Cubasis & just got Gadget (have been digging it so much) and I'm sure many excellent tracks are done with them everyday. For me though, for final overdubs & mixing, Auria is where it's at.
Used to be Beatmaker 2. Now just playing my old battered acoustic and recording into my galaxy s4.
After testing the iOS waters, I quickly gave up on trying to finish inside the tablet. There are some great options, and it's getting better all the time. But I've got a major investment in desktop software and hardware. Not to mention decades invested in learning all that. I use iOS side-by-side and now can't imagine working without it, but I see no reason to give up UAD, Izotope, Native Instruments, and so many other tools that have become an essential part of everything I do. Even if there were an IOS equivalent for all of that, I have already invested time in learning it. And, while it's nice to have the option, I will always find it easier to work in a studio than a bus stop. But that's just me. I'm probably too set in my ways, and a fading minority around these parts.
I primarily use the iPad as a spark to start ideas, or for injecting something different into a project, but for now at least, I still find desktop the most effective way to finish the project.
Auria Pro,by far.The best Fx and mastering tools (i own most extra plugins) and i like the workflow for arrangements better than cubasis (i own cubasis and gadgt as well).Often i start to create ideas in Cubasis or Gadget but i finish em all in Auria.
There's still plenty of people who use the desktop as far as I can see.
Some of us came into (or in my case back into) music via iOS, so that's probably the main cohort who do everything on iOS. I've toyed with the idea of getting desktop apps, but the cost puts me off and also one of the main reasons I like making music on the iPad is to get away from the damn computer
Yes, that is a whole other path from someone like me who started with way back with tape and has gone through the evolution of digital and MIDI and computers and then virtual instruments and everything else, with many a platform, standard, and format extinction along the way... The iPad has replaced the computer for just about everything else I do, except for serious pro graphic and audio work, and I can easily envision the day where the tablet will take the center stage there as well. I just love the feeling of kicking back and getting away from the desktop and mouse sometimes!
I couldn't imagine doing GFX work on the iPad, actually it's not really possible (yet) for me as there are no 3D apps.
I did do the whole tape thing though, with a Tascam PortaStudio circa 93/94, but I took a sabbatical from music for 18 years and missed the whole computer thing until I foolishly downloaded Sunriser one evening when I was bored.
Hm, did you try to turn off Ripple Edit mode?
Every now and then i think 'dammit, lets just finish one on the ipad' and then the clock seems to accelerate by 10x and I feel a massive amount of guilt. Back to PC... or simply not finishing a damn thing.
Ha! I'm just glad I largely dodged the whole ADAT thing. In the late 90s, I had a friend who had finally scrimped and saved up enough for two ADAT machines, and was finally set to get down to work with his proud and vast 16-track capabilities, just as DAWs (and what we then called "hard disk recording") had finally matured and would soon make all tape obsolete!
Could have easily have been me, but fortunately I couldn't afford ADAT!

Close, just as smug. I have a massive eye now due to eye infection so I'm sporting Arthur Miller style sunnies even when indoors. I played an indoor gig last Saturday, people must have thought I was a right dick. I know I would.
Of course I'm not finishing stuff on my galaxy. That will have to wait until time resumes it's natural flow. Now it is simply super sonic.
@Supadom. That's funny (the dick--->sunglasses). Mrs. Goodyear is forever telling me when someone's being a tool be nice though, their mother might have just died. Must be right some of the time I guess. I was actually going with this sunglasses look first, but figured non-Brits might not get the fur coat thing:
@JohnnyGoodyear is mrs Goodyear out of town by any chance?
I'm going to save me these for the back covers
Don't encourage me. And, no, the house is full and noisy which is precisely why I'm fiddling about rather than thinking clearly
