@richardyot. Not what I said. Obviously there isn't a one to one correspondence between gui and workflow. But in my experience with desktop daws, there's a very strong correlation. :-) Of course Auria's midi workflow remains to be seen. I tried very hard to make my post to not come off as Auria bashing. I know, that full featured, linear DAWS that are designed to emulate hardware work well for many. Not trying to take anything away from that.
Hehe, The introduction of midi is a great thing for many! It's what so many have asked for, and it's what we are getting.
It's coming... Once it's here/launched then we can see if anything needs ironing out.
Auria is finally adding midi. To me that is excellent! Anything that adds to the brilliance of what it is already, is a bonus/plus.
Remember, it's not what you got, it's how you use it.
Some may never use the midi side of it, that's fine!
Some may not use the audio side, also fine!
(People are entitle to their opinion, in my opinion, some like, some no like)
For me, I'm gonna use this app/software like it is fulfilling a dream/wish that I had...
And maybe it is! Hehe
I've watched the video around 4 times since last night, see you later, gonna watch it again!
Excellent!
The midi is getting the headlines, but the flexible routing is going to open up a lot of possibilities in mixing and that has me very excited.
The new routing system looks like it's going to solve a zillion issue/limitations.
When things become limited only to the mind, it's good to know we have open minds!
(I think I should write that down) oh, I just did!
@mrufino1, do you know how many times I have rewound the part about flexible routing..
So looking forward!..
I take bet that most of people owned Cubasis and Auria both. So troublesome!
Huh?..
For me, I deleted Cubasis a while ago. If I can't zoom into where I want to, without gymnastics, well...
And it crashed on me and I lost files. Once is one time too many.
And it's not cheap, (iOS wise) so they should invest in people who can fix those things!
No excuse for such a name brand!
Pinch to zoom etc is standard, if you create an app for iOS you should know this. It leads me to believe they don't care. Camaflaging/putting energy into plug-ins. Hehe. Sort the basics!
I like Auria (Hope to Love Pro) and even the great Beatmaker 2, (many tracks built with that)... wow Gadget :-)
Auria is listening and making adjustment where and when they can!
There is a saying "The customer is always right". I didn't create that saying, however we are the customer. In a DAW we have certain requirements, who ever fills those is in the lead, (for me). Lead being app/DAW I most use, go-to etc..
We all have favourites. We need to encourage our listening Devs, and have fun creating on what ever platform. (Without too much finger gymnastics).
The iOS musical options are vast, and growing everyday. I try to remind myself of where it's coming from. (iPhone 4 for me).
I mean, audio warping, that in itself is a big smile!
Auria Pro! Yo!
I'm in. But I'm still hoping they will add a score editor. MultiTrackStudio is still the one to beat for working with midi for me. Piano rolls are OK for fine tuning, but not for composing. As it is I'd probably still mostly use it for Audio.
The Twin 2 at least, comes with a keyboard :-) Score would be great yes!.
I've never used multiTrackStudio. Trying not to buy too many apps anymore. Because of the Fabfilter association with Auria, I'm trying to get as much as possible in one place.
Video Time!
In my workflow and setup, I use my iPad in conjunction with my desktop DAW(s). I like the ability to work on stuff on the iPad and then open in up on the desktop and continue working on it. (That's how I use iMaschine in conjunction with Maschine.) However much I like to help out the little company and the little guy, if they Wavemachine Labs price it in the $50 range, I am leaning on Cubasis because a) it seems a little less cluttered than what I am seeing in Auria Pro and b) I already have Cubase on the desktop so I should be able to open projects and continue working on them. That said, Auria Pro definitely looks like a very a cool app and great step forward.
The main difference with me is that I have left the PC (Reason and FL Studio) behind (to a certain extent) haven't used Reason in over a year, only reason I was using FL Studio recently was to check out some of Fabfilter plug-ins... I like to be fully mobile.
I sacrificed all the features the PC has, for mobility, and now I'm finding that there is a lot that has been filled-in now.
I have gotten used to iOS limitations now, so no yearning for PC.
I remember I started using Reason from 1.0. No audio recording etc, at that time I was also using Emagic Logic Audio 3.1, with 16 audio tracks. And made some great stuff with it.
iOS is beyond that now.
Also I Love the idea of picking up my Pad and everything is there, no upload/download/convert/iTunes etc.. Pick up and play (from where I left off).
iPad mostly always with me, laptop... No!
If I can't get similar results on my iPad as when I was using the PC, then I'm not using the iPad Apps to their full.
Best thing is, however you feel comfortable, then that's the place for you at that time.
I was comparing Reason 1.0 to 'Auria', as it is now, which is half of what it will become.
PC is great, excluding the mouse, but iPad is cozy and accesable. Hehe.
I cant do that. I have all my VST's on the desktop.
@telecode101. Of course, and I don't blame you! I didn't go down the plug-ins road fully myself. I left Logic at around 5.0. (Or was it 7. Something?) my computer at the time could not manage it. Lol
Also though, we will find that more and more companies will associate with Auria for plug-ins.
I wasn't always this way, I was using Beatmaker 2. But then Auria said 'midi' and that was it...
Would be interesting to know which developers will make Auria Pro plug-ins. I wonder why other iOS DAW's can't offer this. I'm still not sure about a proprietary plug-in for one DAW. No one knows how it goes and if apple will someday say.... now Audio Units can be created for every iOS DAW. Then i (and maybe just I) would need more RAM and CPU to use all these features.
However, it's a great developer and i wish him so many luck and success. I'm sure we all can just profit from this.... however it goes. This will just be a start. NanoStudio 2, BeatMaker 3..... we will see!
I think personally for me also, was the fact that I only used an iPhone for about 2 years. Then I bought my iPad, so that was a step up, relatively.
All the while the laptop was still there! I can see it now, will I open it and turn it on?.. Nahhh..
Auria Pro!
Yes seeing who will be making the plug-ins/synths/drum machines etc will be good to see. I think we will be pleasantly surprised. At least the opportunity/framework will be there for other companies.
I feel though, that if DAW,'s offered the same plug-ins we wouldn't have to buy them twice. And maybe they would become stand alone.
Nanostudio 2 Beatmaker 3... Loooooong! (So far)
Auria Pro.. Spring!
Anyone kows if i could stack tracks with Auria Pro. This would be useful on a smaller screen to not loose the focus. I could imagine (at least try) to create some stems or pre mixes with Auria pro since i own Auria with some of the fabfilter plug-ins.... and i never use it much. I should change it
Stack tracks?
Stacking tracks meaning they play together across a horizontal timeline?
Or maybe you mean something else?
F.e. in Logic i can put 3,4,5.... or more tracks as sub-tracks into one track. Means simple tracks within a track. This way it's easy to hide some tracks but still have fast control over them if i want (you can open it like a folder if you need). There is also a lot other stuff you can do with it for easy control in larger projects.
If not it would be a nice thing for a future update for sure. I thought i never must use it.....ha ha but once you used it there is no way back.
Ar, I think I know what your talking about. Lanes! I was requesting it on the Auria forum not so long back.
Lanes..
It won't be in the launch of Pro, but maybe a future update.
I used them in Reason and Beatmaker2. Others Daws have aswell..
Very very useful.
They say it is a multi format sampler. Does that mean it can import samples from different manufactorers like AKAI and EMU? if so you would have access to thousands of free samples on the web.
Funny... i didn't know Beatmaker has such an option.... and i used it for 100+ tracks
Must have a look again.
And yes, i mean something like that. (I think "Stack Tracks" is just an advanced Logic Pro X version of it).
Edit: Uh yep, of course i used the sub-tracks in BM2 (and NanoStudio). I just forgot about it. Now i know what you mean with lanes
But Stack Tracks goes far beyond this.
Finally, this might be the closest thing to Ableton on ios yet. Way to go Rim!
As for complicated workflow, i agree tht workflow is important but if you see what younger teenagers are doing today with technology, ios is far behind with Auria barely making it possible. I grew up with four tracks and reel to reel recording but like other things, gotta keep up to stay current while still staying inspired.
@cinebient I must look into what the Logic ones do.
@gjcyrus hehe don't get me started on reel2reels and such delights.
I think Gadget is representing Ableton though.
Yeah we gots to keep up. From Atari to Auria. :-) to Auria Pro.
O I know what you mean now. Ableton, with the warping etc..
I think about Auria pro....I think it has a big plus because it will be the first mobile DAW which really comes near to the famous big ones in term of features (it looks that even the most big DAW's just using elastique v2 not v3 like Auria) and it's the only iOS DAW which supports third party plug-ins this way since the beginning. I know BeatMaker 3, NanoStudio 2, Cubasis (why are there no third party plug-ins there?) updates are in the work. They could raise up in price too and people could stop buying all DAW's and concentrate on one (which would be a good way to learn it inside-out). I have the feeling NS2 (i just want that eden follower synth so much.... even i don't know yet what it will be) and BM3 will be maybe a bit cheaper as Auria Pro and Cubasis.
With Fabfilter and the other famous developers (and the ones which follow) Auria could make a big sprint forward. The more in-box DAW's like NanoStudio and Caustic are great but i hope they include also an "open" path.....
Someday they have to offer more and more features and they will get more expensive and they come maybe even near to the desktop ones in price some day and people can't buy anymore all apps for a few bucks. So it's a good way to catch the crowd right NOW
But then in a few years Apple bought them all and introduce the iMacPad with iOS X which is a device just to create music with trackpad, mouse, keyboard and 3 dimensional touch screen (minority report;)...... and a few years after this..... we all have seen Matrix, Terminator etc.
Looking very very great. Not looking forward to 'zoom in forever to see length handles' at all though.
That was the one thing i wonder too!
Me three.
When I see Auria Pro - I think more in terms of ProTools than Ableton :-)
Esp. with the new bus structure.
Well, Auria pro seems to get a bit from all good DAW's
Alone the included Fabfilter Twin 2 is indeed a great deal, even if i just would use this.
Agree re that zoom feature. Looked weird.
