IS THERE AN IOS DAW THAT CAN...
Disclaimer: Not Drambo
I have AUM & BM3 and wish I can combine them in one app based on these features which are most important to me.
FROM BM3:
1. The ability to multitrack and record multiple track independently on a timeline
2. Do edits of wav files
3. Have a mixer and channel strip view
4. Receive Clock info
FROM AUM:
1. Route MIDI to & from external gear
2. Route Audio to & from external gear via sends and returns, multiple outs etc.

Logic Pro 4 iPad?
Oh, is there any other app which does not require subscription?
The subscription part is easy to understand why you would oppose it, but you probably will get better answers if you specify why not Drambo for a start.
After careful reading list of needed features in first post, i guess because it has no audio tracks and just very limited audio editing posibilities, and also doesn’t have mixer with channel strip ?
Just my raw guess, i may be wrong, maybe injust misreaded.
This may seem like an odd answer concerning a "DAW" but Loopy Pro does tick a number of the boxes.
BM3 is still kind of irreplaceable. A combo of Loopy Pro and Drambo will get you most of the way though.
Why do we seek for perfection when we are inherently flawed individuals?
Nothing wrong with using two apps and making a workflow that suits your needs.
We can recommend apps like Cubasis, Logic, but there’ll be possibly something you won’t like about it.
That is very true. I switch between Audiobus, Cubasis, Zenbeats and Auria Pro depending on the task I want to accomplish.
Also changing DAW changes working perspective and those strength and weakness inspire new ideas.
using two apps is instant creativity killer for me … to switch between two different UIs, saving project at two different places, dealing with syncing of apps, etc.. it just kills me… i always preffer one spp even with limitations - but which allows me to be perfectly in flow. Diluting my concezrstion between more apps just kills my creativity.
I believe ZenBeats covers all this ,
I just confirmed multiple audio I/O can be routed to sends …(for my own interest)
edit ..though returns may need to be audio tracks in record ..will check further ..
re-edit there’s a monitor function so should work without needing record .
free trial then subscription or buy -
(subscription can be seen as a positive short term rental charge to continue assessment period when , as in this case , outright purchase is also possible )
And it can slave to midi clock?
@espiegel123
I haven’t tried , but settings seem to be there , assuming it’s Midi “BeatClock”
edit , photo also shows track 3 in Monitor mode , which I guess allows an audiotrack to function as Return track .
I haven’t used these functions on Zenbeats myself , but just quickly checking app settings
Thanks but it's because of everything @dendy said. Drambo is nice, I bought it at release, but never clicked with me. Don't dig the workflow. I also have an older iPad rn lol, but when I upgrade Logic is definitely something I'll try.

Thanks, never thought of Loopy, but I definitely NEED external sends/returns.
BM3 is my sh^t definitely. Even if they did better audio routing for external alone I'd be happy because I dig the interface quite a bit.
Thanks. That's great and all, but I'm looking for something that has most of what I need firstly. Plugins are acceptable for most things but I definitely do not want to switch apps or have too many fragmented windows on my apps. I use eurorack and that's enough fragmentation for my brain. I don't need a digital/virtual layer of that at all.
Oh really. I'll check this out then. Returns as separate audio tracks should be fine because that's how I do it in AUM anyway. Thanks man.
And thanks to everyone else.
Cheers
@DatGood : if you have a multi input/output interface, Loopy Pro can send and return to/from as many inputs/outputs as you have
Yes, that's what I was trying to say about send/return.
Any DAW that can pick the inputs and outputs of a multi-channel interface can do send/return if the interface supports it. If the interface doesn't have the channels and capability then no DAW can.
There's the issue of latency to consider too. Audio out to the interface, throughout , and back in to the device is going to introduce at least double latency. I don't know if this is something the iConnectivity 4c or 4+ can address with its internal routing. It seems unlikely, but maybe?
@DatGood - I'm just bringing this up because Send/Return is critical then you may want to be sure you have a handle on this issue first so that you know what you're working with and can check that specific DAWs will support the use of that interface effectively.
Thanks @RetroNewb - I wanted to mention ZenBeats, but didn't know how it does with multi-channel interfaces.
It's a little weak in the audio editing department, but seems a potential fit for the rest.
