I dont want this to come across as disrespectful so im going to just cut to the chase!
I want an app, that i can start a project on the go with just a midi keyboard - play in drums, bass, keys, maybe record a vocal idea. Unfortunatly, Auria doesent have any MIDI or softinstrument capability (correct if im wrong) Soo, theres apple's garage band - which is a joke shop of limitations. - I would like an app, that is capable of multitrack simultaneous recording, that will aslo work with USB audio interfaces, will do automation, will export the project as AAF for Logic...e.c.t. Auria is perfect for this second bit, But hang on..... - Thats what my macbook, logic and pro tools is for? Auria is £35 AND the most desired effect (fab filter EQ) you have to buy, making it £45, then when you buy the others your going to pay around £65, and all you are getting is a mini portable mac multitrack recorder?
Yesterday and today ive been totally sold on Auria, Dont get me wrong, i think Auria is outstanding, but theres other apps "Music Studio" that offers recording AND software instruments (interesting there is the same in app purchase scheme going on!) for just £10 - Music studio feels tacky tho, needless to say i wont be wasting my money on the con in app purchases. - I really admire the quality of Auria, it looks great. Unfortunately theres no soft synth's / instruments. - Im not being unreasonable, im not asking for 300GB worth of piano libraries and Quantum Leap East West orchestra instruments, i just want to put down a general idea, with a general 'like' tone - it could even be like a BAD casio keyboard sound, - just the concept of capturing an idea that can be expanded on.
In no way am i hinting a price drop, i respect the time and work that has gone into writing this application. I just feel, its going to take more than a basic audio application to part me from £35. I could live with buying it if, you could hit record, switch application(background audio) to say sample tank, then play sounds in sample tank recording into auria and it be guaranteed to work - - but even then theres no sequencer so its an anoyance.
Ill buy if MIDI becomes integrated PLEASE!!!!!!, its the best app out there but its like a brand new mercedes car with no engine
