Saw that on my wish list too! Big morning for sales.
Question: what advantages does this have if I already have MT DAW? Price is right, but I'm just wondering if I would prefer it over what I have now.
NanoStudio is more of an all in one MIDI and synth DAW. It is not natively an audio DAW. It can do audio waveforms by sampling but it's not really going to be your go-to studio for recording guitar into, etc. that said, it is a powerful all in one studio for any kind of electronic music, and is highly controllable. Just hop on YouTube...tons of examples of live performances completely within NanoStudio

Thanks! That was kind of what I suspected. I have Caustic, which is a sort of its own self-contained synth studio already, and it will soon get AB capability to exports sounds more conveniently. So I think I will pass on NanoStudio given my needs.
What a steal. Most of us look at Nanostudio as a self contained all-in-one (that's mostly how I use it).
But if you think of it as a synth/sampler app with 6 (or 15 with $5 IAP) separately midi controllable instances of said synth/samplers with separate effects rack for each that price looks absurd!
Nanostudio at this price is really worth getting, if only to see how this app gets almost everything right. It has the sweetest note editor, a great synth, and plenty of depth.
It doesn't have audio tracks, but you can import and trigger any audio tracks via the trig drum instrument. All very easy.
Nanostudio set the bar very high 4 years ago, and is still up there with the best and worth having in your collection. A very comfortable environment to work in.
Was watching this app for some time now, had to push the button at this price
My beef with nanostudio is that it is not easy to navigate among all of the instruments and presets.
@joegrant413 really? Which part? Because I find there is easy access to almost any section of Nanostudio no matter what section you're in.

I tend to find it extremely intuitive compared to bm2 and I think the UI may have been borrowed from by Steinberg for Cubasis.
This app make ios music production sublimely enjoyable. A great all rounder and great to use Audiobus to record any of my 100+ synths etc into the Eden synth sampler.
A must buy until the hardware catches up for this new multi routing.
I don't have the app in front of me at the moment. And yes, I do use BM2, and I find it easier to navigate the instruments. Though I am not saying that BM2 is all that easy to use, it stays on my iOS devices, and not nanostudio.
Same to me: own Nanostudio but I am using BM2.
For me its the lack of MIDI that made me delete NS.
I suppose the key is to find what works best for yourself and the rest will follow.
I want to love Cubasis and Auria and do the multi routing thing but they are way off finished products and always leave me waiting and wanting more.
Bm2 has the best allround feature set IMHO although it still takes away from the experience when it comes to the file system and the unnecessary over complexity of the UI, I actually prefer the iphone version to the ipad.
I keep flitting between daws too much but seem to keep coming back to nano studio. I guess sampling the sounds and using the perameters in one app without any worries over ram is what keeps me happy along with the UI.
Then export to Cubasis or Auria to polish/ finish.
The state saving in Ab2 is interesting but I keep running out of ram so I guess sampling all my sounds is a really great way to keep overheads to a minimum until Apple gets its head out of its ass and gives us more ram.
If it helps, my recollection is it was hard to navigate to the particular sounds that I wanted. They might have been buried under the different synths categories.
Anybody hear any news about NS2?
Hey Joe, if you're meaning scanning through presets, and if this helps....
There are 8 banks (A,B,C,D,E,F,G and PROJECT)... A & B hold 64 factory presets each
, the other 5 lettered banks are empty for saving your own, and project.
There is a plus and minus button either side of the preset name to step one by one but if you swipe left or right on preset name bar you speed through them very swiftly.
@joegrant413 said:
Yeah this is a fair point as to preview through the presets in Eden you can only view one at a time afaik.
This is a track I did purely in Nanostudio using Audiobus to bring in and sample sounds from other apps.....
Having said that if gadget adds a sampler and adds functionality for importing drums etc into the 'London' Gadget and also some decent track/global fx setup then Nanostudio's days maybe numbered
Nice track Dave. Whose speech is that? Must admit I would have been tempted to have edited out that huge sniff he has at 3:22, but that's my misophonia! Lol
As with all things there isn't one size that fits all. I use NanoStudio for everything I've done. I might use MT DAW and a whole host of other apps and synths but it all ends up in Nanostudio. For me the whole interface makes sense - I can just use it, but also there are (free) MacOS and Windows versions of the Nanostudio app. That is good for both a try-before-you-buy and for being able to open up old projects and edit or export them long after the app has gone/been upgraded on the ipad.
Also Nanostudio is what allowed me to get back into music making after a 25 year break - and for that I am very grateful.

David Icke ripped from youtube via ifiles and opened in Audioshare!
Your right it needed editing but it was a hot summer night and was getting pissed in the back yard so I was happy with what I had at the time
No nonsense with Nanostudio.....it's still stands the test of time.....just need the hardware to catchup now, more ram this time I hope.
I love the possibilities of multi routing though, just not streamlined enough yet....too much downtime and low memory warnings this gen.
Gadget is closest yet so far.

This. It's all just buttery.
I think the sale reverted back to $13.99 early this morning. I bought it at $6.99 late last night, fearing it was too good to pass up at that price. (Which appears to have been a good move!)
Initial impressions - people in this thread did try to warm me that it doesn't have audiotracks, but I didn't fully grasp that until I tried to use it in AudioBus. I guess I'm confused as to how people consider this app (and Caustic) to be "DAW's" - it isn't. A better description of it is that it's an elaborate multi-track sequencer and drum machine for Eden. The only way to get external audio into the app is a total workaround - recording an imprecise loop into one of the samples and then playing it back internally.
BUT, that stunning omission aside, it is pretty darn cool even as an "input" device in AudioBus, which is to say that I like the sounds in Eden quite a bit. At $6.99 for a universal synth that sounds decent, that's not a bad deal. But compared to Caustic as a self-contained workstation, yeah, Caustic blows it out of the water. There are some things I really like about NS's interface, but for every good thing, there's something like not being able to bring up a list of presets and having to scroll through all of them (thanks @SpookyZoo for the list above, that helps).
Update: It appears some form of AudioCopy/Paste may be possible with NanoStudio, but it is cumbersome: http://forums.blipinteractive.co.uk/node/2939
Any news on NanoStudio 2? I see references in this thread from May 2013 indicating that people thought it was close back then.
The cool thing I love about Nanostudio is you can load several synth patches into several different instruments simultaneously and midi sequence them individually. Really handy and a lot more efficient then having 5 different synth apps open. Only thing is there is no way to select a specific patch (that I have found), you can only scroll left and right!! I would use it a lot more if it wasn't for this.
@JamMaestro said:
That's a cool suggestion. I actually took a Jam Masetro drum loop and put it a simple 4/4 measure into TRG-16 as a "pad". It worked well for loops, but I don't know how long the loop/sample could be.
But this isn't going to be my DAW, anyway. If you look at it as a music CREATOR instead of a music recorder, there's plenty of value there. It even has a piano roll editor, which is something not a ton of synths have. You can layer complex synth harmonies using the editing functions within app, and then export that to AudioShare as a single synth part to copy into a DAW. I'm glad I own it for that purpose.
On sale again at that price.
Want to echo Kitejan above (and who knows how many more beyond this forum) and say that after years of not playing/writing music it was NanoStudio that led me back into the cage. For that I'll always be weirdly grateful.
@stormJH1 samples can be something like 3 minutes. Problem with them is that they are not random access—the play head as to go past the note on event in the sequencer in order to hear it.
