hy guys,
iam using garageband so far, and iam missing few things:
-automation for all parameters
-free midi and audio routing
-masterchannel with inserts
-midi/audio channel delay in both time directions.
-real buses/sends with inserts
-professional timestrech/ audio quantisation.
-phase switch
what daw would you recommend?
Thanks!

There is no perfect DAW on IOS. If you could describe how you work, what is important to you and the kind of music you make that might help direct recommendations.
hi, thanks for the answer.
i just wanna have the functions as i said above.working mostly traditional sequencing, playing few instruments, using audio loops.
maybe loopy pro?
Try Loopy Pro as you said. Other options. Cubasis. AUM, Drambo.
Cubasis + DRambo = a complete DAW
(DRambo + Loopy Pro = a fluid condensed DAW)
Cubasis is on sale : it’s the most powerful by far and the most fully developed for iOS production , so consider that as well ($30 for Cubasis is great)
But most of the people will tell you like I was asked, what are you looking to do or what kind of music are you trying to make, that would help recommendations
Like I usually wouldn’t propose BM3 but if rap or non acoustic music is your thing, that might be a better fit
This is a must (mixer) for GarageBand .. You might also wanna have a look at N-Track pro which has features Cubasis doesn’t have like a 10 gig sound set and mixing time signatures on the sequencer .
Ntrack explained ..It’s awesome and definitely under the radar . Very full featured..

Good info there! Wow
i look into cubasis and loopy pro

Wow dude. So glad you showed me that. I was super on fence about the waves pack in Cubasis : looks like 4pockets will be getting my coin instead of steinberg. You are a wealth of info , thank you
Just 10 minutes into that video and I was like Ez mixing on iOS!!! I’m surprised no one is raving about this
The death metal song by Pete mix difference is so major….I suggest anyone looking for a DAW check that out. It’s super impressive

With the announcement today that Logic Pro is coming to M1 iPad Pro, I think your question has been answered.
Yes this is the big news : it will be on subscriptions 49 usd per year if I understand and working on IPad with minimum A12 chips that include all quite new IPad with iOS 16.4 . It is official.

It’s absolutely gargantuan news. 👍
Can we have a feature comparison on LP and Cubasis? Should be interesting…
The news is very hot and it is a Logic Pro iOS redesign to fit iOS with new tools so we need all of us some time to understand the inside. You can’t compare LogicPro to Cubasis.
Cubasis is the very lite non pro version of Cubase and Cubase is in the same category than Logic Pro X.
Sorry I can’t explain better .
Logic Pro!
Yes special day to day great game changer is now here …. and it wasn’t PianoTq as we were thinking 🤔 and now on ios16.4
What to say more
Thanks.. I guess we just have to wait and see..
There isn't yet a proper DAW on iOS. This changes May 23rd. 😃 Logic Pro is on the way!

Cool clip!
measure for measure it will have to stack up to my favs
Honestly, when loopy pro adds midi looping, the only major thing I’d want left is the ability to do linear/non-looping clips and collapse/group capability in the sequencer (so different “loops” could exist on one “track”) and it would be perfect for me.
The damn app just convinced me to upgrade iPad’s after 5 years with my 2016 pro. The app is the “glue” I always wanted, and the hardware finally caught up enough to run the number of parallel apps that I needed.
Yes, the "one-shots" are the type of clips you'll want for linear/non-looping clips Rudd.
You know what, you’re totally right.
Loopy Pro just makes making music fun again. Engineer your own mega station, have that mega station be your improv on the fly song builder, and then perform it as well.
Integrated midi looping (atom2 works well but would love to see a native approach) and a comping/“track collapse”-like system for the sequencer and I’d be able to replace 99% of the things I’d otherwise use Cubasis for.
I know that your initial post is a bit different from the post title. What the title should be is 'what's the perfect daw for me, with my current expectations'
But I can't resist commenting on the title, because it seems to be something that reflects the way many people think, and it's interesting to explore.
There is not and will never be a 'perfect' daw. It's like asking what is the perfect song. Or the perfect girlfriend / boyfriend / husband / wife, or for that matter, what is the perfect song.
I have a friend who's current perfect girlfriend is trans / non binary but still has a dick. No judgements here, just putting out a slightly extreme example.
It mostly comes down to taste. And taste is something that is shaped by prior experience. The above mentioned friend considered himself straight until one drunken night he had a non-straight experience that he found he liked very much.
When I got into ios music I downloaded a bunch of daws. I quickly gravitated to aum. Maybe this was partly my own taste, maybe the fact that Doug was using it in all his vids, and I was mostly watching him.
Now I have found that aum fits me very well. But if he had been using cubasis, I may have learnt that properly instead, and I may have gotten a taste for that kind of workflow.
Once you settle into a habit, it's hard to change. Learning another very deep app is a major pain in the ass and you need to have the motivation to do it.
I don't mind spending an hour or a few hours learning how to use the basic features of an app. But when it comes to spending many hours learning something new, I have to be extremely motivated.
Another thing to say - tools are not things the mind/body just uses to bend things to its will. Tools are things that shape our very being. See Heidegger 'The Question Concerning Technology' for an interesting take on this - probably youtube vids will be a lot more accessible than the original text 😂
Long story short: what you find perfect right now is highly limited by past experiences. It may not be what really floats your boat. Learning what does is a matter of trial and error. But once settled into a habit, it's generally hard to change, so it's probably wise to experiment with different workflows, both now and in the future, if you have the immense patience needed to do so. Learning Logic would take a lot more time than a drunken one night stand does 😂
sorry, the title is misleading. iam looking for the specifications i wrote.
i see if i can change the title.
I was intrigued by this list
In part because im seeing things that I now must have in a DAW...Once I knew what they are:
by "free midi and audio routing" do you mean between tracks?
and what is "midi and audio channel delay in both directions"?
and what is "phase switch"
I guess everyone else knows what these are.
I don't mind being the slow horse.
Thanks!
