    MTD is a good option , the only thing I don't like about it is the editing functions.

    @Clocktoys , I hear ya. That's not conducive to my creative process at all though. I don't want to record into a sampler than have to play that recorded sample out with a keyboard. That sounds like a nightmare to me in fact. I'm sure it works for some folks or certain genre's of music, but for me its not how I want to go about it at all. Doesn't mean I'm right and you're wrong or anything like that. Different strokes.

    Also, I wouldn't ever dismiss an app because how much space it took up on my device. The performance is all I care about.

    I would liken triggering parts via key or pad to hitting a fader up for a certain part. Your mixing/arranging in a more musical way.

    Sunvox. I highly recommend Sunvox.

    SunVox is an incredible app, and it has ridiculous power that belies the "1980's PC" aesthetics. But on a 4" iPhone screen, it's tough to navigate, especially if you intend on getting into multi-track stuff, or recording audio tracks.

    On iPhone, my assumption is that your primary focus is convenience and ease of use. Therefore, while BeatMaker 2 is probably a more "advanced" DAW, Multi-Track DAW ("MTDAW") by Harmonicdog really is the way to go. It works likes your basic entry-level desktop DAW, and it gets the job assembling pieces of a multi-track recording together. While it lacks an effects suite and a few other features you may miss (particularly count-in recording...d'oh!), you can use AudioBus and IAA to add as many effects or different sounds as you want.

    If your interest is in sampling, your options are more limited on iPhone versus iPad, but NanoStudio could be an option, or use MTDAW with an app like EasyBeats 3.

    Here's something that might be useful, iPhone or iPad: The Samson MF8. Far better than fiddling around with dials and sliders on a screen.

    Unfortunately, for me, I got a dud and had to return it. Along the way, the only user review I found was a video showing failure of some buttons to light up appropriately. I'm going to try once again and see if I have better luck.

    Caustic is at the top of the heap. Anyone who disagrees has not given it a chance. It does everything and does it soooo well. It has all the synths anyone could need plus all the effects and so configurable. It takes about a few hours to get hooked. Once you figure it out by going through a few of the great tutorials you will agree that it way surpasses the rest of them. There are amazing tutorials done by a guy who knows caustic inside out and explains it so well. It is fun to use once you get it because of how powerful it is and how intuitive the interface is.

    I won't disagree with you, especially when you limit it to "iPhone" options. I don't like calling anything that does do audio tracks a DAW since I am a guitar player. Same goes for Korg Gadget on iPad, though I guess it technically has a sampler and splicer now.

    But Caustic is absurdly versatile. There's just no reason not to own it - it takes up virtually no space. The quality of the synth machines is just okay. But if you want to get in-depth with it, there is tons of user content (free), premium content for cheap purchase, and it's such an "openly" designed app, it can import several formats of SoundFonts into the PCM player and you can even assemble your own beatbox kits on the free PC app (with whatever .wav samples you choose) and then import them over to iPhone. Great app.

    Hello old thread. Beatmaker jumps to mind as crazy capable for a DAW (with audio tracks, that is) on the iPhone but for the lack of an always visible play button. GAH! Makes me crazy enough that I pretty much only ever use it on the iPad.

  • Matt_Fletcher_2000Matt_Fletcher_2000

    I've searched for this Holly Grail iPhone track-making app but didn't find it (at least nothing that worked for me).

    BM2 came close but hooking up different synth apps is a pain. Nanostudio I've just started using in ernest, but on the iPad. I just do everything on my iPad now and take it everywhere.

    I've found the iphone is good for idea generation though. Apps like figure and iKaosilator of course. But also getting a beat going in DM1 then jamming different Animoog patches with Fingertip Midi. That inspired a track (which I've still yet to make). Alchemy's 4 track is also very good for this. And Xynthesizr.

    I don't know why but I get no creative access to x/y apps like Figure or iKaossilator. My prefered iPhone app is Caustic. It is unbelievable flexible, easy to use, resource-friendly and cheap. The only thing I miss in Caustic are multisamples with better quality. I know there is a user library with a lot of content, but the quality of the most PCM sounds is poor to mediocre. I would happily pay XX euros for a professional made bread-and-butter sound set for Caustic.

  • razraz

    Matt, if you like Gadget then Caustic is the nearest experience to that, no need to deal with the connectivity crap.

  • Matt_Fletcher_2000Matt_Fletcher_2000

    Thanks Raz. I have caustic. Just not had time to explore it much.

    To be honest I'm no longer looking an iPhone solution. I'm happy doing everything on the iPad.

    I use Auria. You can start sessions there and open them directly in Pro Tools, and vice versa. I've found it the easiest for the kind of intense editing & audio chopping I like to do, it's almost faster with multi-touch than with a mouse & keyboard.
