Best iOS "DAW" to use with audiobus?

  • Yes seems Multitrack seems like the way to go. I was just hoping for a decent drum sequencer that can be seen as the same time as the audio waves.

    For me Multitrack is the best, not the best feature wise, but it's the best in terms of Ram and CPU usage. If you looking for a reliable and simple DAW then that's the way to go.
    I know there is a update in progress which should be available in the next month or two , not sure about the new features but I do hope it does not affect the performance.
    BM2 I love it but I must agree the file system and copy/paste is a pain, also the FX is crap.

    Let me ask a different question - is midi implementation important? I guess I'm asking bc with audiobus, won't audio from a midi synth get transferred anyway? You can tell I'm a beginner :)

    Midi gives you all the flexibility. Working with a lot of audio also tends to increase project size.

  • @julianEmdon if you want a drum sequencer it would be hard to beat Beatmaker's. The drum sampler is pretty amazing and the MIDI sequencer is essentially a full rip of NanoStudio's (still the best on iOS). I've never used Meteor but @paulb and @mgmg4871 are two big fans if you have questions. I think it can get up their in price with IAPs so make sure it does what you need without them (or the price of them fit your budget).

    MTDAW is so great for it's simplicity but is pretty under spec'd compared to BM or Meteor.

    There is a major update looming apparently for mt daw but I doubt it's gonna get midi.

  • Yes I went with MTDAW, it's nice and clunky and simple. The eq and compressor are very responsive and that's all I need. It's kind of like Reaper in that way, where it's all about what plugins/apps you feed into it.

    I may be going back to MT DAW because of the RAM issues. I had switched to GarageBand because of IAA and drum loops, but I can get drums from other apps now, and GarageBand on older hardware can be pretty scary once you run it with an external program.

    I find that as I start adding a 3rd or 4th track, latency in the guitar apps starts to worsen to more perceivable levels - to the point where it affects timing.

    My complaint about MT DAW (and one of the reasons I left it for awhile) is that it can be frustratingly hard to get it recognize inputs. You'll record one guitar track, look to do a second, and when you go to pick a source, all it shows is mono with no option for JamUp, etc. Excited to hear there's some kind of update coming. Yeah, new features would be nice, but primarily, I just want the thing to function properly. It's a minor miracle the thing works with iOS7 and AudioBus at all.

  • I just picked up auria it's 50 off now.

  • I have Auria, Multitrack DAW, Cubasis and Meteor MultiTrack Recorder. I find myself using Cubasis most frequently on an iPad, esp. because of the MIDI support - albeit lacking automation at the moment, but, I like the fact the MTDAW runs on an iPhones too. Was in the car recently (my wife was driving), and I laid down a couple of tracks with it plugged into the AUX input of the car stereo using MTDAW. I want to go back and revisit Meteor again however. Note that the MIDI track stuff in Meteor is an add on IAP though but does support some automation, and Auria has a lot of fairly expensive IAPs as well, whereas Cubasis and MTDAW are pretty much selfcontained.

  • Do you know if MTDAW will sync with Auria? Where MTDAW is the master and Auria is the slave?

    No one ever mentions Studio 2 in these discussions (I can only assume for a reason):

    http://www.xmeinc.com/new/studio2.html

    It supports Audiobus, 96 tracks of audio and MIDI, and is cheap; does anyone have any experience they can share with us?

  • Haha, they cracked me up with their marketing. Up to 96 tracks! Wow that's what I call a daw. Apparently light years ahead of the competition. Not to mention the final note:

    TERMS: Feel free to create music with Studio 2 until your heart is content. Once you've created your music, sell it and make good money and have a good life. We created Studio 2 so that you can make professional quality music and share it with the world. Enjoy!

    Nice!

  • I have studio 2, it is very hard for me to figure out how to get anything going in it. The dev was nice enough to give out some codes back when I was on Facebook, so I really tried to work with it, but it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. That of course may differ for others. I think things following an mpc like paradigm are not for me, I grew up making music more on tape and then digital recorders in a traditional fashion, so that's what makes the most sense to me.

  • How about Cubasis with midiSequencer (by Tony Saunders) slaved by MIDI clock to Cubasis? midiSequencer can provide MIDI CC sequencing that's not in Cubasis.

  • But only for 16 beats repeating. I'm more excited by the fact the update also behaves like StepPolyArp in that playing a note into it results in transposition of the output, Arp-like.

  • midiSequencer is 16 steps, not 16 beats. If you set it to a super slow bpm, your sequenced song running in Cubasis or other master sequencer will already be done before midiSequencer gets to its 16th step. ;)

    I'm still waiting for a completely new group of developers just launching a killer DAW that blows everyone out of the water. It is amazing that with such an amazing pool of PC/Mac software giants such as Cubasis can't pull off a bugless app. Of course if Apple launched logic for ios, that would definitely be an interesting move.

    Nobody can pull off a bugless app. There's always something wrong somewhere that doesn't get exposed until real world testing is done.

    I've thought the same thing, but also agree with @cheesesteak.

    What amazes me is that some of the established names have apps that are seriously buggy. SugarBytes' apps are amazing (even if they are just quickie ports), but are among the buggiest for me. . . but perhaps that's an issue with IAA. . .

  • I've worked with Logic, Ableton, and Audiodesk (the free version of Digital Performer that came with my MOTU 828MkII) on the Mac. They all have had issues in some way or another. You just have to work around them.
