Thanks @funjunkie27. I assume this free app let you save music and pictures. Can you save Auria projects to the HD?
I'm not aware of any way you can do that from the device, but you can copy all your Auria projects, as well as samples, loops, synth presets, music, movies, etc. using iFunbox, on a computer, remove them from your device, to free up space, and then access them as needed on the device.
With the latest firmware update for the iUSBPort (for iOS 7 WiFi bugs) you can access it with anything that can move files via Browser or FTP or SMB. The device itself is a USB host so whatever drive you plug into it will work. That "anything" includes Safari, GoodReader, and AudioShare. Its current price is $59.95. It also streams movies.
And Auria can move tracks to/from AudioShare directly.
I really like cubasis im not having any problems
With the introduction of new version which includes full automation Cubasis is much better. It also supports midi, runs smoothly, uses less CPU even on more complicated projects and is less expensive. At this point I would not recommend Auria, intact I do not use it anymore
I bought Auria but not Cubasis. I'm not very happy with it. Though I wouldn't go too far as to say I regret the purchase, because Auria does have some features that are very essential to making music, like professional effects (so far only Auria support third party effects), or simplistic structure. I major complain is the ugly UI and huge memory consuming.
Maybe not everyone is bothered by the UI, but i just can't put up with it. Sometime I don't even want to open Auria at all. Animoog is my favorite, sound is great, UI too. That is what a musical app should be like.
The memory consuming is another problem. As same situation, Multitrack DAW consumes much less memory. I've been using MTD for a year before I bought Auria. Never once did MTD give me low memory warning. But Auria is an expert for that. Some time only DM1+Animmog could make Auria give you the low memory warning. It is unbelievable.
But after all I have to keep using Auria. Even on computer there is no such thing as perfect DAW, let alone iOS.
Auria works okay for me on an iPad 2 although I am careful to pace out my demands in steps and only work with .wav files after rendering in BM2 or Cubasis. The effects are just that good IMO, often worth the effort

^^I can totally agree with this at the moment.
Since the Cubasis update it just seems a lot more solid and stable. I can get some really busy AB2 chains building fuller tracks and with state saving its a pleasure to use.
I probably won't use Auria again until it implements midi and the next gen ipad comes out with more ram/CPU.
Its a shame as I have spent a few quid on Auria but it's just ahead of its time for a fully fledged solution.
@logictree I bought Auria a month ago and got a lot of ram spikes causing memory and CPU pop up warnings on iPad Air. I complained and got the refund from Apple. The developer (well loved on this forum) has not replied to any of my emails. As far as UI is concerned I'm totally with you. Especially for the fact that the resolution is very low and looks muddy on a retina display. This makes me think that the guy, despite making quite a lot of money with the sales of the app won't even spare some cash to hire a graphic guy to sort out the res. This says a lot but hey, I don't even own it so not my worry anymore

But you are also not getting tired of repeating the same stuff over and over again.Are you sure you are not worrying anymore?
They're all something, but nothing's everything. Like, well, most things. But if there is a God, please have her help Cubasis implement a file management system that makes sense.
I haven't used Cubasis once since I bought Auria some months ago. It is that good.
I vote for Auria and Cubasis.
If the developers are reading this thread, I hope they realize opinions are all over the place on each aspect of each app. Undoubtably one app can do things the other can't do as well, because otherwise they'd be the same app. I actually think Auria's UI is what a DAW on on IPad should look like, but that's my own preference. Cubasis can do some amazing things, and their automation is icing on the cake. I feel like I have 2 great studios across the street from my house. Some days I'll work in one, and some days I'll feel like getting some other sounds from the other one.
I like auria and don't own cubasis. I agree that auria's UI is uninspired/ing but it's fine. Cubasis' interface is creamy in comparison. I think that stuff counts and hope Auria will invest a little money in a UX savvy designer in the not too distant future.
And, for sure, Auria can be a fickle lover about memory and CPU - even when all it's doing is tracking with 0 effects. I have an iPad Lemon(3). I haven't tried a big multitrack session since learning that MTD can expose all of its tracks as AB inputs but I aim to try my next one by tracking into MTD and then bouncing real time into Auria for mixing.
Auria's interface feels like using an analog mixer to me, which is why I like it so much.
The mixer is great, good point. Built in effects UI too. It's the edit/arrange view and the menus and effects dropdowns and typography... Feels a little like Linux 1.0.
It's perfectly fine to have different opinions. I use both Auria and Cubasis, but when Auria gets MIDI I would imagine I will drop Cubasis completely. The quality of the effects is head and shoulders above Cubasis and that means the mixes I can get out of it are considerably better. Even the most basic stuff in Cubasis such as EQ and compression is too far behind what is available in Auria.
In fact I have been using less MIDI just so that I can work straight into Auria rather than go through Cubasis first. It takes more time to get the performances right but it saves time not having to use Cubasis's convoluted Audiocopy implementation (can't be done from the timeline), and I can't imagine mixing without ProQ.
cuebasis ....awesome app and update...it gets better and better....one stop shop
Pretty sure Rim said he wouldn't want a retina graphics UI on auria because that would guzzle even more RAM. And as another 3 user that suits me fine

Nah, just enjoying recounting my old timer stories. You're sure you're not spending too much time on this forum?
Having spent almost a year on this forum I find we're all mostly going over the same old stuff. Especially when a new person asks one of they 'Cubasis vs Auria' questions. Can't remember how many times I got involved in defending BM2 or glorifying Impaktor. I guess that just happens when one gets stuck here for longer than expected
Got a touch of that myself. Absolutely done with defending BM2 lol
Just couldn't get to grips with bm2, it has some things I like though and I think if you can then brilliant.
I've not tried cubasis, maybe when it goes on sale I will, but in really, really like auria.
