  • @MisplacedDevelopment : Thanks for that also. The contrast between MTS and NS2

  • Does MTS have only 1 Send FX?
    Does it have microtiming for the drum sequencer?

    Maybe someone else can clarify but I believe you have to upgrade for extra FX slots if I remember correctly. Making the total price around $60.

    Someone mentioned a score edit mode. Is this the only DAW that has that? Does it allow you to sync audio to video or view the video as you write the music?

    Wow after reading more about it, this DAW looks super powerful. Maybe a sleepy in the iOS world. Does it support tempo/time signature changes and mixer automation like AEM does?

    I usually stick with CB3 and ZenBeats but it seems like MTS, NTrack, and AEM may actually be the ones the beat.

  • To update a bit this 2021 pots , now many Daws getting upgraded a lot and on sales the most pro Daw is Cubasis 3,5 as Cubasis in 2021 and now in 2023 is not the same, they update it a lot , you got all the track you want and stability.

    The same for NS2 but it still only Midi.

    When it come to serious Daw , MTS is not an option and certainly not Auria Pro that is not stable and updated , It is a box mixer table that all, when we use it is just to enjoy feeling I am a sound engineer lol but I don’t use it as a Daw.

    I think you it is not serious and efficient to jump to all daws you need to make a choice : I done it Cubasis 3,5 as you got the most pro Daw for peanuts if you buy it on sales , great tutorials and NS2 quite good only for Midi when I want to quickly record something in electro and it got Slate and Obsidian with is a great synth.

    There are not serious non linear daw anymore on iOS since you can’t rely on BM3 in the future , Intua make no updates for over 2 years.

    The best is to stack to max 2 daws and invest many times to really master them to take out all their potential, know which AU you get is useable for each Daw as some bad AU can work on 1 Daw and crash an other daw even if it is a good Daw. Manu crashes come from AU apps (external apps) not from the Daws.

    Important notes : AUM and Drambo are not Daws.

    My post was just to update to 2023 and focus on noobs and beginners that are confused about what daw to choose and when they ask verybody list any daws even the bad one and even state that they use all the daws.
    At the end it is not an help, you spend a lot of monney to test all these daws and you don’t invest time to learn was is really a good iOS Daw.

  • Ugh ios DAWS…

    What a pita. Auria pro is at least fully featured and (for me at least) reliable. If only it worked on iphone…

    And so the troubles begin, leading inexorably back to loopy/AUM/drambo…

    And then you eventually be like “dammit I want a proper timeline argg”

    Then ios DAWS again ugh, back to Auria via cubasis, AEMS…

    Somebody bring midi routing, auv3 audio output recording and an editable timeline with CC’s etc (à la auria, ftw) into one iphone compatible app, please!!! Riches and glory await

    sigh, rant over

    Ooops, thread hijack encouraged. Soz

  • MTS is the most feature packed DAW on iOS imo, and u can also send sessions 1:1 to the desktop version, or vice versa.

    However, It’s workflow is unique and a bit of an acquired taste. But if it clicks for you, and you stick with it, the payoff is huge, especially for midi editing.

    Sorry I don’t agree with you it is not what I can call a fully featured daw and never a daw of choice . We need to be realistic and selective. I understand you can be fan of this daw but the reality is the reality.

    The only like a Pro daw with a future is Cubasis 3 , I am realistic but not fan at all just waiting when real pro Daw with all featured needed to come and it should come from Steinberg (Cubasis) , Apple or Ableton not other daw that have no real future.

  • As long as Roland will be around ZenBeats seems to have a quite bright future.

    Agree but the same for Korg gadget . Can we consider both as Daw ? And seems closed environment ?

    ZenBeats supports AUv3's and is available for the desktop (Mac & Windows) so I consider it equally 'open' as Cubasis etc.

    And how it is for Korg gadget , I got it but I don’t know and use it so is it so open than zen beat ?

  • @BerlinFx said:

    It all depends on what you want and need to do?

    You could for example use Gadget to create loops and other sounds/samples for use with other apps.

    ie. create a beat/loop/sounds in Gadget and export them as audio, either as a single track or multi-track and import it other apps like Cubasis or Koala.

    Same with ZenBeats. There is no need to do 'everything' in one app but use those parts that are not available in other apps.
    Use ZenBeats to create loops/sounds if you like the 'Roland Sound', use Gadget if you like the 'Korg Sound'.

    It all starts with the simple question, what do I want to do?
    After that it's more of 'how do I do it?'.

    I don’t know why you seem to be comparing Korg Gadget to Zenbeats.
    Zenbeats is a DAW, and a great one too. You seem to be very sure about the “only pro daw on iOS” which is a pretty bold statement, specially if you haven’t tried them all. I personally don’t think there’s a “pro” daw on iOS, if we compare them to desktop daws.
    MTS looks really powerful but I don’t really click with the UI.

  • @BerlinFx i think MTS is often misunderstood — I agree that it’s not what most people look for in a “pro DAW,” but it’s also built on design principles that make it extremely capable of professional productions.

    The big thing is that the line between Audio and MIDI is very thin compared to most other tools. For example, when you go to edit automation on an AUv3 track, it shows you a waveform rather than a piano roll. And you can simply drag MIDI onto an audio track to have it render into audio. You can also overdub onto audio tracks, which is quite handy for specific workflows. Of course, if you like keeping your MIDI tracks editable until the last minute, none of these features will really matter to you. But if you like printing and bouncing and committing to specific sounds as your song forms, it’s a very powerful tool.

    It’s limited in a lot of ways that will seem confusing to a Cubase/Cubasis user — you don’t get a lot of sends, audio routing and MIDI mapping are EXTREMELY basic, audio and MIDI tracks are generally built for linear editing rather than splitting into regions, etc. etc. But if you’re coming from a Tascam PortaStudio or a multitrack tape system, the limitations make more sense and actually contribute to a more comfortable workflow.

    It was also one of the first DAWs on any platform to support MIDI 2.0, and its per-note expression capabilities are very very good.

    All this to say, it’s definitely not for everyone, but if you’re willing to treat it like a tape recorder with a lot of digital “nice-to-haves,” you’ll enjoy using it a lot more.

    curious to know what features are missing?

    i know there are many features that are unavailable on any other DAW

    also its update history is unlike any other on ios…

    We can disagree and that’s fine. But I’ve battle tested it against all the iOS offerings as well as desktop ones. I’m realistic and not only selective, but objective. I’m no ‘fan’ to be clear, and if I’ve ever said that, it was in jest. Keeping it factual, these are only tools to me, and I use them to build. That’s it.

    MTS is a desktop app on mobile. Cubasis is a mobile app on mobile. Different target audiences and objectives imo. Again, MTS approach is very unique but surprisingly powerful. I’m constantly surprised at what it is capable of, but it’s workflow ain’t for everyone. Nothing wrong with Cubasis for those who love it.

    The only like a Pro daw with a future is Cubasis 3 , I am realistic but not fan at all just waiting when real pro Daw with all featured needed to come and it should come from Steinberg (Cubasis) , Apple or Ableton not other daw that have no real future.

    I don’t feel Cubasis will ever be a ‘pro daw’. You can however use it to make ‘pro music’. People do it everyday.

    It’s a fine app for those who enjoy it, but imo It will always be a mobile app, meaning stripped down from its desktop counterpart, with Cubase getting all the development focus etc. I’d like to see steinberg port Cubase over to mobile in the same way Blackmagic brought Resolve over.

    All I’ve gotta do is open the piano roll editor in both apps and I have my clear winner. And that’s putting it kindly. Lack of typical linear timeline editing/arranging in MTS used to annoy me, I’ve since fixed that with a workflow, so it doesn’t bother me at all now.

    In any case, use the tool(s) that serves u best.

    I dedicated 1 week for these Daws and I agree with what you say about MTS . We all know that there are no real pro Daw on iOS so all daw lake features.I got LogicPro x it is real daw.

    I appreciate your comments and we are all waiting for new real Daw like Destop on iOS . Who ? When ? I don’t know

  • In fact, when it comes to midi editing, MTS is the dog’s bollocks. It has a few lacunae, admittedly, such as a count-in, but it really is very capable.

    Wow this is exactly what I needed to hear. I started making music on a Portastudio and loved it so MTS may actually be very useful for me. Thanks for the clarification!

    This. And how to do it is very subjective, and I’d say go with an app, MTS or other, that you ”click with”, and feel comfortable with. You can easily make pro sounding music with just about any of top apps on iOS.

  • why isn't this DAW on iOS mentioned more? Seems to have nice features? is there something wrong with it?
    has MPE and midi 2.0.

    Seems more like it has a growing cult following. I’ve never tried it but I am interested in it. It definitely seems great and looks very fully featured.

    Ntrack studio is very capable too and gets better with time . But Logic Pro for iPad seems to have the most promise .
    @ipadbeatmaking , I know you tried n-Track for a minute .. I guess you didn’t really connect with it ? Is it the same for Logic Pro for iPad?
