Auria vs Cubasis vs Garage Band for editing / arranging Audio
Dear peeps, As a longtime Logic (OS X) user I'm wondering what your favorite iOS DAW is specifically for slicing and arranging Audio into song format.
Typically I create bounced audio in tons of apps as well as Mac programs then use Logic to pull it all together and end up doing a good amount of micro-editing by the time a track is wrapped.
So more than generating sound, MIDI-syncing or effect processing It's that last bit in particular that I'm interested in: favorite iOS DAWS for editing and arranging Audio files.

Auria.
nuff said.
Nuff Nuff said
Thanks gents - In my brief experience with Auria and Cubasis it was the latter that seemed more intuitive for cutting and moving audio but that was several updates ago -- I'll dive into the current status of both again.
Any others have a stance on the topic?
Hopefully Auria Pro!
Arrival imminent!!!
Fer sure!
Auria.
Edit: should perhaps add why...Auria have a far, far more detailed waveform rendering, and hence allows for far more detailed audio editing (and arranging)
@ChrisG Thank you - exactly the kind of info I'm after.
I'm a Logic user and recently bought Auria. I don't have experience with Cubasis but Auria is great for editing and arranging wave files - definitely one of it's strengths, along with automation. Weaknesses - glitches, dated UI and anyone who comes up with the idea of an 'input matrix' deserves to be mercilessly thrashed with a large fillet of frozen haddock.
You said it, that matrix is the pit of pits.
@proppa --
For the highest quality effects (compressors, etc) -- hands down its Auria (via the IAPs). Otherwise, if I'm working with MIDI, it's Cubasis. I often use GarageBand instruments but export tracks for further processing in Auria and/or specialized effects apps (Holderness Media apps, the Aufx series, etc).
I do find Cubasis a bit easier to work in, but when Auria gets the Pro version with MIDI, it may change everything in my workflow.
Auria. My most recent song had close to 50 slices on the lead vocal track alone culled from a dozen or more takes over the course of 4 different recording sessions. Smooth and seamless and really, even most Cubasis afficionados will readily admit Auria sounds better. And don't we all want everything to sound better?
Last time I used Cubasis you couldn't glue different audio segments together.
Auria isn't perfect by any means, but I think on iOS it's definitely the best option for this kind of task.
I'm new to the game but I think Auria is better at this. Only thing is that Cubasis has the added advantage of MIDI and I like the user interface. But Auria Pro is coming out soon.
Y'all don't like the input matrix? Is it a matrix that is the problem or that matrix? I find it easy to understand on the rare occasion I need it, but I am also a reaper user and that uses a matrix as well. And, it's a similar concept to a patch bay, which I also like. Anyway, different workflows, no problem with that.
All great input and thanks for it
I anticipated more split opinion but it seems like Auria is a clear lead here.
I usually don't have to look at the input matrix when recording audio unless the goal is to bounce a track or two to a new one. I think the main purpose of the matrix or one that I can think of is routing multiple audio signals to different tracks when recording multiple simultaneous instruments, a live band. When I record different analog instruments or microphones myself, I use the same channel and it always comes up on the left input which I believe is the default mono input for all tracks. I have yet to make a change to the output matrix.
I know the OP asks about 3 specific DAWs, but does anyone have experience with MultitrackStudio for iPad and how it ranks for this task compared to Auria? It has an enthusiastic following.

@thus I was going to include an "etc" at the end of that topic as indeed I'm interested in all takes and possible avenues.
The Matrix just seems a clunky way of handling the routing. Logic doesn't do this, and it's much more powerful.
I always have to fiddle with The Matrix when I record anything, as even though Auria creates about ten different channels every time you hook it up to AB, you can rarely hear what you're playing until you've mucked about with The Matrix, or added the instrument (weirdly) via the FX dialog box.
I can see how it might be useful for multi-channel recording, assuming you can get everything to work at the same time, but for single channel recording I find Auria a bit of a clunk fest
I own Cubasis and MultiTrackDaw. I've been able to do pretty micro-level audio edits with both. With Cubasis, it's important to know the kinds of audio edits you can do directly on the track on the timeline are limited. But when you open up an audio clip in the editor you have a lot more options. I've found the audio editor window in Cubasis to suit most of my needs.
With MTD in contrast, all editing happens on the timeline. It has an interesting "context menu" system. When you long press on an audio clip a half dozen menu choices pop up. The workflow is pretty efficient.
Thanks, @ecamburn, i was curious about MultiTrack DAW too. Still wondering: Anyone use MultitrackStudio for editing (similarly-named but different than MultiTrack DAW)?
Well I gotta say having given Auria, Cubasis, and MultiTrack Daw more/less equal learning entry points Auria comes out feeling the most intuitive and capable for the kind of editing I was seeking.
I don't want to speak premature of necessary learning curves but out of the gate Auria feels the best and given Auria's plug-ins I think it's the one I'm going to dedicate to learning and getting fluid with.
Thanks to all for input.
@thus I know you weren't asking me but MultiTrack Studio is one I've Not tried but hear lots of good things about.
@Proppa - Welcome to Planet Auria - hope you enjoy it as much as I do
Quick note - the plugins are awesome and I wouldn't trade them for anything, but you can get a LOT of mileage just using the PSP channel strips for EQ and Compression (as needed) without firing up a single plugin. In fact, if you lean on your channel strips during mixing, you'll have a lot more CPU left for the occasional Convolution Reverb or IAA plugin, etc.
@eustressor thanks man and that's Awesome re: your tip on the channel strips. (I've yet to buy Any plugins so that's great to know in the meantime).
After learning the initial basic gestures of handling waveforms in Auria I'm off to the races. I'm going to try to be ultra selective with those pricey plugs.
Auria is definitely the way to go!
Those plug-ins, (FF) they are very more-ish
