Why is Auria the only one doing this?
I'm just wondering how Auria pulled off floating windows with their effects, yet no other app, that I'm aware of, utilizes this.
Comments
Because they're awesome and attentive to their customers.
That's probably why they say you get what you pay for. But in reality, its just that they spent more dough in development perhaps.
i thought it was more that Auria were the only ones who got stuck in using PC user interface, where things are in windows. Doesn't it generally work better the way most apps dynamically change to make use of the smaller screen space of an iPad?
Good point @Hmtx, but it seems there would be instances when a windowed approach would be better....particularly when the screens involved are quite complex, and you might need to bounce between different views often.

Just weird when people change their avatars. Throws me off completely
I love the floating windows in Auria. Shamed to mention I had the app for at least a year before I realized, precisely because no one else does that....def. plus. Pretty nice effects over there as well....now if they could just alphabetize the long list of every app on my ipad rather than presenting it in a largely random manner I WOULD BE GRATEFUL. Thank you etc.
It was time for a change @JohnnyGoodyear!
@JohnnyGoodyear and how about a little nesting. I shouldn't have to scroll through 48 DrumPerfect nodes. But agree completely about the floating window. Not sure if it's because I am old and used to the pc interface way of things, but I use it frequently to get to different knobs etc in the UI.
Those damn lists.
to me having to switch apps/windows is a workflow killer, so long live the floating window!

Agree 100%
Floating windows are a small UI benefit, but the starting point is the awful UI of having everything control stacked in a single menu called "menu"
I use both Cubasis and Auria, but find the Auria interface cumbersome
I think I'd like the floating windows and menus in Auria if it was all a bit more finger friendly. Of course, I'm working on an iPad Mini, which doesn't help - but not sure my fat fingers would fare that much better on a normal iPad.
Regardless, still a great app!
I love the windows too. It would be great if there was an expand option, especially for the THM Overloud plug.
Different strokes, I suppose, but I have to admit I've never understood the menu-diving critique against Auria. I can get to anything I need from either of 2 screens. Floating window or layover screen with "back" button appears and off I go

If the Auria menu was stuffed with sub-menus, I'd agree, but it's not, and the menu, though long, is broken into logical subsections. (And when more menus are needed, as on the tracks screen, Auria adds the 'edit' and 'process' menus.) Having fewer menus also let them include the undo/redo buttons and transport controls in consistent spots, and the time box really is another menu as well.
I've always found the Auria interface extremely straightforward and easy to use, but that's obviously subjective!
Agreed @Tovokas

Sadly, Rim said it would be difficult; each plugin developer would have to add the functionality to his/her plugin.
@Tovokas said:
But using menus at all for things that relate to, say, track inputs, ignores the fact it's a touchable interface. Why not touch the relevant object or area and have the options appear there? It's almost as though it was ported from a computer version (in UI terms anyway)
Saying the extensive menu is well thought out is like saying you'll only kick me in the less sensitive of my testes ;-) lol
Ah, but what a wild and keening sound you make, rolling there bent double....a little suffering for your art Mister Tim....and whatever clumsiness you find in the menus is surely offset (just a little) by the fact that the vehicle you're driving is the best mixed metaphor out there. No?
@TimO I think Auria's menu is well-thought out. Certainly, compared to Turnado. I've never hit the wrong item, the spacing is sufficient and everything's clearly labeled. Still, I'll grant it's far from sexy. Auria's current interface is about as sexy as Roseanne in a truck - from its pixelated skeuomorphic graphics to a drop down menu that screams 1998. But it's a workhorse, not a birthday pony. I find it to be well-behaved, unpretentious and reliable.
