    BeatMaker 2 is still the deepest iPhone DAW available hands down.

    Agreed although theres a learning curve, it also ran fine on my old iPhone5 so its no cpu hog.
    I used it for a while and it was cool to have that power on a phone but the small screen is a hassle no matter what the software. Now Im more likely to just record various apps on my phone and use my imac as a daw. If I get a new iPad id look into using it.

    My iPhone is only used as a handy guitar and bass tuner.
    Although - if I had a day job and spent many hours of the week on transport, then maybe I would reconsider, and use it to create.

    The key thing for me about the iPhone is the portable immediate-ness of song creation. That said, the OP makes a good point about the frustration of iPhone music-making. I'm passionate about doing it with the iPhone, because I just don't (and probably won't) have the time to go into my music room and sit down and write music there. I'm left with iPhone or nothing. I've even considered going back to the iPad, but it takes away from the immediate-ness (There! He said it again! I don't think that's really a word!). So, I'm left with the iPhone paradigm, which, because of the lack of decent hosts, is left imperfect. Here's what I'm doing:

    As others have mentioned, there are lots and lots of other options, such as FLStudio Mobile, Xewton Music Studio, Caustic, several grooveboxes, and several loopers, Xequence+AUM, etc.. But, the most complete systems/DAWs available on the iPhone are Gadget and Garageband. The problem with Gadget is that it is really messy to record long audio tracks, and the problem with Garageband is that there is currently a nasty AU rendering bug that cripples the app for anything other than built-in instruments.

    I am bypassing all of this by using.............

    Harmonic Dog's MultiTrack DAW!

    WTF?!?!? You've got to be kidding me!! You're insane!!

    Well, wait a minute... Let me explain and we'll see in the end...

    MultiTrack DAW does not have automation. I grant that. That's its weakness, and it is the reason I leave my phone and do mixing/mastering on my home computer. But here's what MultiTrack DAW 'DOES' have:

    • Rock solid, flawless stability--it NEVER crashes, and I NEVER lose my data. And even if I did, there are multiple ways of recovering it!
    • 24 tracks of solid audio multitracking (with freeze capability).
    • It's dead EASY to use--my handicapped cat, "Benny" with an IQ of less than 27 could probably master it in a day.
    • No, I'm just kidding. The cat is too dumb. But my mother-in-law could probably do it in a day. :wink:
    • It has great audio import/export features!

    I record loops and phrases and compile them in MultiTrack DAW. Yes! loops and phrases is the key! There is SO MUCH available--anything you can imagine can be done with all of your instruments, grooveboxes, music tools, etc. Everything can make a loop or phrase of music that can be imported into MultiTrack DAW tracks and compiled to create songs!

    Once Apple gets its act together and fixes GarageBand, I'll probably move back to that. But for now, nothing beats compiling everything in MultiTrack DAW (for me)!

    BTW, MultiTrack DAW is going to be adding MP3, AU effects, (and possibly even iOS11 Files support if he can get the time) in a couple of months!

    i’m really loving this this so far. 3 questions? does
    it have a metronome? how do you trim a recorded track to grid? where is the “ bus” sending audio. am i missing another page?

    Sorry, I missed your post here. I advise you to read the manual to get the full understanding of the capabilities of the app. It’s short. :smile: Also, the HarmonicDog forum has lots of tips and tricks as well. Track trimming is very easy: make sure snap to grid is on, and then long press on the track and select “Edit”. The. Drag the sliders as needed. :smile: I’m not sure what you are asking when you say, “bus sending audio “. You can record or input audio, but there aren’t any busses. It is a very simple MultiTrack DAW, but what it does, it does very well! :wink:

    this bus under fx

    I believe these controls are for the built-in effects. You have a single set of high quality effects that each channel can access. The bus fx control allows the control of how much the track is affected by the effect. (I believe). :wink:

    The manual has a much better explanation than I give. It's located in the menu under: "Help/Export/Upgrades".
