Universe Observer,
DAW noob ... some things to improve though
08 Feb 2019
I have tried a few of the iPad iOS DAWs and some that claim they are; but landed on this one and purchased it with all of the fixin’s. This works from a UI point like what I would expect in most cases and have not had any major problems with the exception of a few major annoyances.
I find that the UI just responds very sluggishly when you have one one track and you want to select a single note in order to alter it. You have to hold your finger on that note way too long to select it. I also find having to select which direction to move the note, up or down, forwards or backwards to be a real pain. I would think you should be able to select the note and drag it where you want it with out selecting a direction just as in any other DAW I have worked with.
The other issue is that selecting a group of notes to duplicate, when duplicated, the pattern of the notes is sometime changed or notes are left out. This seems to happen really often on my iPad Pro Gen 1 12.7” and it is a major disruption to work flow. I cn never depend on the copy being a faithful reproduction of the original when it is moved to another place.
I have not gotten much beyond this because it becomes frustrating to get the app to do what it should be doing; but, I will keep hacking away at it.

JAME$-BONGZ,
Never change or stop updating for new devices
I have been using this app since early 2011 and it is almost 2021 now, i have made over 5,000 songs on this app between 11 iPhones, Ipads and iPod Touch and recently picked up a full music production setup with monitors, audio interface and midi keyboard and still plan to never stop using this app. Id love for you guys to stay original and not be like FL studio mobile where its complicated to use now. I stopped using FL mobile on update 2.5 because after that they changed it and still no idea how to use where as your app is the true one i understand the most and use. It is much like a simple laid out FL studio for computer and its easy to understand. One thing i would love though is an AUV3 with pitch and speed kinda like Grossbeat and also maybe make a EQ/mixer that can read your tracks and mix them to best of ability without clipping or too much low end. Also would love some kind of audio mastering setup that can make the tracks radio ready, i seem to have an issue with low volumes sometimes on the track after i make it into wav or something to send on email. Ideally just want some kind of settings where it can master the volumes of each track for you at the end of making the track etc then can hear your track with good mixes and volumes. Really want this app to be able to make radio ready music for 2021+ and many years to come! I want to meet the creator of this app such an awesome music studio!

GarageBand Alternative
Love playing around with GarageBand. Have been making songs for the past three years. This is the only app that equals, and in some areas (core instrument variety, for example), surpasses GarageBand. There's was a bit of a learningv curve for me, I must admit, and I am sure I've only scratched the surface of what Music Studio is capable of, but I'm very satisfied with the tools I've discovered. One of my favorite pastimes is downloading Midi files, and, currently, Music Studio beats GarageBand in the quality of its Midi-file uploading abilities. Everything from Beethoven to AC-DC sounds great when run through this app. Plus, it exports Midi files as well n(and WAVs and all of the major file-types that a hobbyist like me requires to keep himself busy. I'm really looking forward to the next update and am hoping even more musical instruments and drum kids will become available.

Music Studio is a very capable DAW
I have to say I'm impressed with this app! It has a lot of useful features such as built in midi instruments (and a lot to choose from too) as well as audio tracks to record from a microphone or line in. I really like the Inter App Audio support so you can record audio from other music apps and virtual instruments you may have installed on your device.
Here's why I couldn't give it five stars: when I record audio tracks, it will record the wave, but it won't play the sound when I play back my recordings. I can't get the audio tracks to "play" even though the waveform is there. Is it something I'm doing wrong? Or is it a glitch that needs to be updated? I can't figure it out and it's driving me crazy because I really do like this app. I just wanted to bring this problem to someone's attention just in case they're having the same problem.

Crashes every time I try and save a sample
Just got this today. Instruments are nice. Editing notes in the piano roll is pretty ridiculous but maybe I haven’t figured it out yet that’s not my issue. The problem is every time I try and save a sample the app crashes and I’m not following the 50 step process described on the website to get a crash report. The app seems like it could be really great but not if it crashes all the time and not if I have to jump through hoops to report a problem or get help. I’m not trying to be one of those people that writes some review bashing everything about your app like I said I have high hopes for it just wish it wouldn’t crash every time I save a sample it’s pretty annoying

I have spent some mega bucks on some big name musical daws and sound packs when many different kinds of music are represented in the this paid version. Seriously, with the small price you get some great sounds. When heard about this at first, I was like ok it would just be another throw away freebie piece of crap but tried the free version and was amazed. I was even more amazed at the cheap price to go to pro! This app plays well with others and works quite well with my midi keyboard which I can not say about some many high end other apps. Definitely worth it even if you only like 1/4 of the styles offered. Works on my iPad Pro and actually has a sizeable keyboard and pads that works great on my small iPhone 8, as well!

Wonderful App
Alexander Gross has put together a comprehensive and fun way to work with midi. For me, this is easier and more fun / better user experience / better interface to the music and instruments than Garage Band. The samples and sounds of each instrument are pretty good quality. I tinkered with and updated midi from my favorite old games to hear closer to symphonic experience. Transposing Cybermage: Darklight Awakening’s track 18 from the midi I remember in 1995 to these violins and cellos, piano and drum sets gave me chills. Hopefully the update makes this usable on current iOS. I would recommend for beginners wanting to edit and tinker with existing midi to ultimately learn more about music harmony and composition and appreciate the medium.

Fantastic, but no longer works with AirPods!!! Plz Fix
With a wide selection of instruments, and what seems like an infinite amount of tools, this is easily one of my most used apps! It is fun to use, and it has almost LIMITLESS possibilities. Definitely deserves more recognition. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! It would be nice to see a redesign for a simpler iOS 7-9 look, as well as some more instruments! The only thing it lacks is some natural sounding electric guitar sounds!
It seems as of August of 2023, the “bluetooth/airplay” feature is no longer working with AirPods or other wireless headphones. Upon selecting it, there is only silence, no matter what settings I change. Turning it off causes the audio to come through, but at a very grainy low quality... I know this is a very old app, but I really hope this issue is resolved as I use it a lot still! :)

I purchased this 7 years ago and then forgot about it because I wasn’t using my iPad for audio. But now I’m finding it very handy for recording a classical guitar album, as I can record tracks at home and edit them on my commute (by ferry). I especially appreciate that I can specify which channel gets recorded from my usb interface, edit waveforms with scrub, apply a pleasing reverb in real time, and access all files through a browser on my laptop. The EQ plug-in is not worth much but it’s easy enough to transfer audio into hokusai audio editor where the eq and scrub are superior. The included instruments are sample-based but one can sequence to others via AU.
Kaleb Steele is awesome,
5 because I love you guys
I love this app and have been using it for 6 years now, I have built myself from the ground up through this app. I recently have had the problem that my audio files that I upload into the app say “an error occurred while loading file” every time I try to put it in the track. I don’t want this to be the reason I stop using it, I even deleted a lot of hard progress I made on the app to see if that would fix it and the problem still happens. Please try and fix this!!!❤️
