Auria on sale (until Nov 7th)

edited October 2014 in General App Discussion

The full version of Auria is now 50 % off ! Only £17.49. The App Store says until November 7th.

I was undecided between Cubasis, Multitrack Studio, and Auria.

The decision has been made for me.

  • This is getting ridiculous. I had just convinced myself that I was not getting any apps through November and this lands on payday.

    Can all the devs please take a couple of months off? The candy shop is full now!

    (Only kidding, keep up the great work, we love it)

  • Does the( full Version ) really mean the full version including in app purchases? Or do they mean for the version that still requires purchases to get the rest of the filters ect?

  • Downloading now, so I'll tell you in a few minutes... I'm guessing no IAP included.

  • No IAPs included , but once you download it and register, you get a free content download of loops and Reverb IR's.

  • How much more for all of the in app purchases then if it is not full for this price?

  • a couple of hundred bucks?The Fabfilter stuff cost between 15-50 bucks for example.Stil much cheaper then their PC counterparts.And then there was a lot of PSP or FXpansion stuff as well.But the stock plugins (channelstrips by PSP for example)are quite good and all you need to start working on proper mixes.

  • I think there is some confusion about Auria's IAPs. The maker(s) of Auria don't get any of the money from the purchases; it goes to whoever made the software. Think of it as a "vst" store rather than a regular IAP. You don't have to buy any of the IAPs and you still have everything you need. The IAPs are extra goodies.

    The dreaded double post.

  • There are a few made by WML themselves as well but yes,better to think of"additional plugins"instead of IAP ;)

    @Tritonman2 You get everything that's included in the appinfo. The IAPs are sold by 3rd party devs (like FabFilter etc). It's an in-app store for Auria native plugins, samples, instruments (soon), IRs, and more, where any 3rd party can sell their products. It works the same way as on your desktop DAW in that you can buy additional plugs etc from other makers if you want. I have 6-7 different compressors in Auria (with the the included ones), 3 PSPaudioware comps, 2 FabFilter comps and 2 FXpansion comps. I mean I don't need'em all, but I'm a plug-o-holic so..

  • Echoing that you "need" none of them, but I have bought a few. The 2 I view as essential to my workflow now are pro-q and micro warmer. Oh, timeless and echo as well, because they are "effect delays" and the stock one is more of a plain delay, but works well. I love old timer and Saturn as well, and if you happen to own turnado and wow you also own the auria plug versions.

    I'd say I've bought one plugin every few months as a mix warranted it. But I could use only what came with it and do a quality mix.

    Ok i'm curious about this. is mixing tracks on the ipad a better workflow than the DAW or just more convenient? I'm thinking once Apollo Remote Recorder vst is fully stable i can use apps like this and still use my monitors to mix and use Live for reference tracks instead of something like Magic AB.

    Oh, and do the plugins go on sale often? Thanks!

  • I find Auria essential. The plug-ins I viewed as expensive luxuries until I started to buy them one by one. And, for IOS, they are expensive, and they are luxurious, but I would also say I view them now as essential because they're so damn good. It's not that you need them for Auria, you don't, but you'll want them. And they don't feel expensive now, because, to me, they deliver tremendous value.

  • Last year all plugins went on sale right before Christmas (50%!). Hope it happens again!

  • @musikmachine - The plug-ins don't go on sale often. Last year in the beginning of December there was a 50% sale on all of the IAPs. Rim said it might become an annual thing, but that is not certain. Fabfilter had a sale a while ago as an anniversary thing. I think that's about it for the past year.

    @musikmachine:Not saying Auria sounds any"better"than other DAWs but i was able to do better mixes after a relativ short while compared to my mixes in logic (which i used for many years).I guess it's the different approach how to reach a certain goal.Auria is more"open"(to use) for me.Very clear layout (for example setting up FX sends in Logic was always a pain in the ass in the past).And maybe the restriction in sends and inserts also supports a more"streamlined"workflow to me.I don't know what it is but i'm a very happy owner of Auria and doing all my Mixing and most oft the Arrangement there.Having my Favorite Destop pkugins available (Pro-Q!!)was the tip of the icing.

  • It's definitely fun to mix projects in Auria, and hard to beat the deal that it becomes when you factor in the Fabfilter stuff. Would I say it's better or easier than using a desktop DAW? Hmmmm, probably not. Results in terms of sound quality are identical IMVHO, and I do find its a little more difficult to dial in specific fader values with a finger versus a mouse. Minor point though.

    If you're looking for an audio based DAW for the iPad, Auria is definitely worth the price!

    This. If you're looking for THAT app to record your mulitrack iPad noodlings into, or even to edit audio recordings, Auria is it. I don't find it "lightweight" but it's the best DAW for the iPad (even without MIDI).

  • I like using the touchscreen and being able to mix wherever I may be, with a minimum of setup and with limited options. Sometimes the limits are frustrating, but the benefits outweigh them for me.

    that's impressive! and part of how I justify purchasing Auria, even though I'm not really using it... yet.

  • @JohnnyGoodyear/CJ/MrNezumi Cheers. I know the quality of PSP and Fabfilter plugins from the desktop versions. Tbh apps are taking over my vst purchases! So if Auria becomes a goto it won't be an issue. ;)

    @Crabman cheers. PSP make some of my favourite plugins. Midi and vst support are definitely an incentive and drumagog looks really useful but at this price even if i use it for recording and mixing of ios apps i need something a bit more featured than GB for editing and it has sync which i also need.

    @Tarekith It is more of a workflow thing anyway, so far i'm liking the way things integrate on the iPad with AB and midi. With a lightning to vga/hdmi adapter could be a really good setup.

    Btw don't know if anyone uses them but i bought a couple of styluses, they are much better than the finger imo for detailed editing, more precise and you can see more of the screen so should be better for dialing in more precise stuff where needed.

  • I have a stylus but i never use it.Feels"unnatural"to me :)

    Btw,imo you should have at least an iPad 4 for a more comfortable use.The internal plugs and channelstrip are very lightweight (even the Convo Reverb)but the "creative"Fabfilter plugs (Saturn,Volcano,Timeless)can be quite heavy for the CPU.Can be a Ram Hugger as well.Even on Mini Retina i always close any other task in the background before working with auria.No experiences with AB in this case but i use Auria with IAA Fx as well.Mainly Effectrix,never had a problem with it (besides the well known IAA flaws).

    I'd agree with this as well. The FabFilter plugins are beasts, especially Saturn (turning on HQ mode on my iPad 4 is always a risky proposition).

  • DON'T DO IT. If there was ever a gateway drug on iOS, this is it. You're going to spend a small fortune compared to other apps, and you honestly don't have a choice in the matter. The plugins are simply the absolute best on iOS, so it's not even like you can pretend you're not going to want them all. Just stay away.

  • Knowing what I know now about them, I'd have probably paid a lot more for the plugins. Shhh...don't tell anyone at Fabfilter.

    What kinda limits?

    @Crabman i thought it would be awkward but to me it feels natural, only use it where needed though like with Thesys. Saw it in one of Dougs videos. :)

    I have an Air anyway, not sure how well it runs on ios8 but performance looks good from a few videos. Initially i'll probably use the built in stuff, if i can get a mix 80% there in Auria won't be a problem finishing it in Live or studio one. It being quicker to get a mix together is reason enough to buy it.

    As for gateway drugs the ipad itself is a gateway to the murky world of app addiction lol.

  • Limits such as 2 aux buses only, 8 subgroups but tracks can only be routed to one subgroup (no multing), difficulty changing the order of tracks (and impossible once any track has been frozen- then no track order changes unless you unfreeze everything). However, once I adapted to this, I found that it focused me, and I also found other ways to do things, such as running out of an aux into audiobus, through reverbs, delays, etc, back into a track on auria and printing that- then no CPU hit, plus the ability to eq it, etc, and the forced commitment to the choice (focus!!). I love auria and used it to mix my whole album.

    That's the nail on the head, plugins ported to the iPad at a percentage of the price. It's just nuts to me.

    Thanks mrufino. What's up with the workflow anyway? Keep reading comments that it's terrible and Cubasis is smoother... It's hard to gauge that from a few youtube videos though.

    In my short time of owning an iPad i've been really impressed with making music on one, just need a way to edit arrange tracks if i want to do anything more than create loops and sequences!

    If you're working with MIDI, then there is a wrinkle in the Auria work flow because it is audio only. Lots of people are happy with using other apps to MIDI sequence apps and record the audio into Auria; some are not. My guess is that's what they're referring to.

    MIDI is coming to Auria, but no one knows when it's going to drop. When it does, I don't see Cubasis having anything over Auria (although the freezing of tracks is nice).
