Auria LE

Crashes on every exit, hangs on every reload. The anxiety of an impending crash makes it intolerable. Such a waste. Incremental updates omit major issues. I’ve had this now for what seems like forever...it was never a solid performer, only a tease. The latest update got me to try yet again. Same story. Too many other apps passing this one up. If any other dev implements elastic audio and subs you have no need for this aggravation. (Cubasis, nudge, nudge. Zenbeats, wink, wink.)

Really great idea for the iPad, the only problem is that the input has a really bad digital clip and sound. Even if I run an amp into my ipad, it still sounds like my guitar is being processed through some sort of synthesizer. Great for importing tracks that have already been recorded, but forget about recording into it. Maybe it's my interface, but for now 2 stars. When the digital problem disappears, 5 starts. Other multi track recorders work great when running an iRig interface. Maybe the developer has some sort of trick. Please let me know.

This app is fantastic. Tracking/editing/mixing all work superbly. The effects sound very good. Several major bugs were fixed in this version so folks that previously had reservations about stability can put them to rest. I will say that to utilize Audiobus or have larger projects going it would definitely be in your best interest to have an iPad 3 or later (Wavemachine Labs does mention this in the release notes). Just waiting for MIDI sequencing/editing and VST instruments that can run inside the app it will be a full five stars (might have to wait for the next iPad for that, but I hope not). In any case, the time of the iOS DAW has arrived people, embrace it!
