Audio Evolution Mobile Studio

Great DAW apP PLEASE UPDATE THE APP TO BE ABLE TO RECORD TO EXTERNAL STORAGE!!!!! With IOS 17. Great for backup recordings to my iPad or iPhone off my M32r so its worth the price just for that, and able to get files off to my Mac Pro easily unlike N-track where you have to jump through hoops to get them off. That being said N track has easily selectable channel outputs when connected to my board, with AE you have to setup mix buses to output each track to separate channels. N track creates them for you when you select an output. N track also can handle a lot more AU synths. I really like AE so hoping they keep improving on it and for the price it can’t be beat.

There are levels of control this app offers that are deluxe and not found in competitors and I wish I could love it more than Cubasis3 , even though overall feels a bit stiff workflow wise. There is no simple browser mode to gain access to all save or share locations now so abundant since Apple granted easy usb options for iPhones and iPads running ‘modern’ iOS versions. I should choose where I want a saved file to end up, on my device, external drive, or micro sdxc… without going online/cloud then download back to device if your cloud server allows it…other than to photos app only option. Adds way too many limitations…a “Cold War” artefact from the time Apple made it impossible to use mobile devices for creative work by limiting access to that work from anywhere but the app it was originally recorded in. Also, high on resources use, admittedly I was using Audio Evolution on an old iPhone 8+ but I got a lot more tracks working with competitors who offer a more contemporary although (appropriately) also more expensive app.

Like the title says, I have all the iOS DAWs including Auria Pro, Cubasis 2, GarageBand, Nano Studio 2......etc, etc. I have used Auria Pro and Cubasis 2 as my main workhorses. Auria Pro for its bussing, Cubasis 2 because of its much better work flow. By sheer accident or by divine fate I stumbled upon this DAW and at first I almost passed it by. With the puny $9 price point what could it possibly offer that I already had? Well, for whatever reason I decided to download it. My two biggest gripes about Cubasis are the lack of busses and lack of markers, which is something I use quite a bit of. Auria Pro has the busses but I just cannot get into the workflow of that software. Audio Evolution has it all and more! The workflow is seamless AND it covers busses and markers. I think the developers have lost their mind on the price point! If you are looking for an iOS DAW or are just tired of all the work arounds required by the others then I seriously suggest giving Audio Evolution a try. THIS is what I’ve been looking for all along! I’ve been an iOS musician since 2014 and a recording musician for over 35 years, so I’ve had some experience with these things. I finally feel like my search for an iOS DAW is over.
