Auria for iPad
Auria is a 48 track recording system for the iPad. Currently, it’s the most feature-laden iOS DAW we’ve reviewed. It houses an extensive catalog of effects and processors (ranging from Reverb to pitch correction) and also allows you to record up to 24 tracks simultaneously. AAF import and export lets you transfer complete sessions between popular DAWs like Pro Tools, Logic and more.
Another cool feature is the incorporation of 3rd party plugins from plugin gurus like PSPaudioware, Overloud, Fab Filter and Drumagog. These extra processors are available via app store purchase and range from $5 to $30.
The kicker for Auria is the hefty price tag. At $50, it’s easily considered a very expensive iOS DAW. If that doesn’t scare you away, then this app is definitely worth taking a look at. What we really like about Auria is that it’s clearly geared toward serious music makers looking to get professional use out of their iPad.
The price for Auria and the plug ins (which I have all) were definitely worth every penny in my setup. I have a Boss BR recorder which I like for number of things but could never get the final product I want. Now with Auria my final sound is as if I am recording with a whole new setup and my songs have a very professional quality to them. For those with standard DAW setups I would reccomend it for on the go things (not too much of a need to have) but for those like me who don’t have a lot of money and already have an iPad but lack a good recording polisher it is a dream to have!
