Auria Pro worth purchasing???

I’m glad Auria was worth the high price for those it works for

As for me, an update is needed if they continue to charge $50

Audio is just so much easier and better in auria. For a start, I can reverse, transpose and stretch without having to bounce down!

You can do all those things non-destructively in Logic too, just select an audio region and open the Inspector panel on the left, you will have options to transpose, reverse, timestretch etc... There is also a timestretch tool in the top panel.

The option for reverse disappears when you use timestretch.

Auria Pro is the ProTools of the iPad. IMO.

That means that you can make a song from start to finish (mastering included, post production included) professionally in Auria Pro.

Like ProTools, though, there are stages where other apps frankly do better (and if you’re old enough in the forum, you know how biased to AP I am). Currently, I think LP4I is just more effective for the arranging and mixing part because it is more flexible, has a better UI imho and far more plugins and sounds ootb.

But even now. Every. Song. Ends. With. Auria. Albums are also mastered/post produced in Auria. Logic is great but this kind of work is beyond its range, even on the Mac imho, in the sense you can do it but it is easier to use specific tools E.G. a dedicated audio editor (ProTools will also work) application to insert fades or silence or compare tracks for an album or EP.

Another cool feature - the master meter that can be displayed in it’s own free standing window. This is seriously helpful and a really good design idea.

Unfortunately, not all AUv3s work in it (Nimbrini, CHOW BYOD to name a couple). I placed them on an aux send and there was nothing there. No signal. Shame really. Also, the channel strip windows don’t close when using a mouse to click on them. Small things I know, but one should know about these if you’re thinking about buying it or, as in my case, reload it back on your iPad. Also, the UI is not optimised for the 11 M2 iPad Pro screen. There is a big gap on the bottom and the master meter cannot be moved past 3/4 of the screen to the right. I’m not trying to be a downer just reporting my experiences from the front line.
So, it’s binned and I’m moving on with my life…I guess you can never really go backwards in time.

Auria was amazing once upon a time, but sadly development has slowed to a crawl so I just can't see it having a long-term future. I understand this is just the economics of the iOS ecosystem, but it will inevitably fall further and further behind. Same with NS2, another great app that just couldn't survive in this market.

I think Logic can do everything Auria does, although it is true that for audio editing Auria does have a slight edge: I like the fact that you can drag fade handles directly on the audio regions (rather than using the Inspector), and you can snap to events, and edit right down to the individual sample level. Auria was years ahead of its time when it was first released, but sadly in 2024 I wouldn't be comfortable recommending it anymore.

I would stay far away from this app.

Why are you THIS mad?? There are plenty of other DAW options on IOS. If this app didnt work for you..FINE but to go in EVERY Auria post to slam a app YOU CHOSE to stay with (without any updates) is not necessary. You came to IOS music..USED it up and ran to MAC. Walk off and be happy but don't come back to ridicule IOS

You know what they say - ‘from love to hate, one step’. He probably used to love this app, and so did I.

If you bounce the time stretched region you can then reverse the bounced region.

I used to love this feature for audio editing, crossfades too, but crashes and lost work just made it’s use untenable. I reinstalled it a few months back to give it another go, but after a few more crashes (work completely lost) I finally gave up on it for good.

Enjoying Logic, but as you say having to use the inspector every time I do a fade in/out is not as user-friendly as Auria. Very frustrating Logic doesn’t have this feature.

Yeah I know, but it’s a right pain when in auria I can just do it. It’s a little thing but it’s always the little things that do my head in.

to my knowledge Auria Pro is one the very few DAWs that can import video. This is something I need to do occasionally, to create a music or a soundtrack to a video without sound.

It’s the big major lack of anything good about it that did my head in. “in auria I can just do it” is not a phrase I’d ever hear myself saying.

I’ll get off the fence now.

Do you mean one of a few on IOS or in general? I’m currently scoring a documentary and couldn’t find any other DAWs that can do this on an iPad
