Auria Pro - Music Production

Invest your time and money into apps with future. This one seems dead.

Been in the industry for 15+ years. I waited for a few months hoping the developer will fix the bugs and make this purchased usable recording platform. I got back to it in recent days only to realise that it’s worse than before. Auria Pro turned out to be my music production worst nightmare. The app is totally unpredictable - it crashes frequently and randomly - you never know when and why. You may sit down and record a good take only to find out that it wasn’t captured. All configured properly. Import function (along with time stretching) makes unpredictable results. Considering the number of bugs (I’ve just mentioned a few) this app should be out of the market. The developer with whom you can contact via user forum says it’s because iOS updates. It’s not true. He’s helpless and clueless. I’ve been trying to make a use of this app on a course of past 6 months (on and off) and the bugs not only reappear, but new ones come to play. Do yourself a favour and avoid this piece of crap. It just doesn’t work and can RUIN your take or session - guaranteed. On top of that, it’s the most expensive iOS DAW on the market, which is outrageous. I woudn’t mess with it if it was free. It’s waste of my time and money as Apple Store rep refused to make a refund. My gear: I use iPad Pro 12.9” 2020, SSL 2+ as my main mobile platform.

And this is a pricey one. It’s still rubbish.

When horizontal, the edit view and piano roll editor don’t take up the full screen, the mixer can be seen on the right and below the edit screen. Makes everything very small. Pretty sure this is a bug since the screenshots show it full screen. Feature set seems good otherwise.

I am in kind of mental distress whether I would get the refund or not. But this app is just dead, full of bugs, the workflow I don’t know what the developers have been doing? Bought it with such high expectations, if you rate the daws, Auria would come at the last position in iOS ecosystem. I sincerely hope I get the refund! Dear lord! P.s. I tried, I tried a lot .

After the latest update, I have an iPad Pro 12.9 m1 and it’s not optimized for my screen please go back to the older version the mixer It’s on the bottom and I can’t work with it. All the other stuff are halfway out of the screen please update thanks. I was happy till now nothing like this program it’s like a real daw the only thing i want is fester mixdown with midi inside like volume pan etc. (update April 3 2024) please update its useless can’t play record nothing can’t mix please go back to the older version thanks

2021 ish iPad Pro Auria pro is working awesome for me. The timeline tools are very very good for touch based audio timeline chopping and analog style console eq excellent sound this one is rocking for what I need

This update only give you the top half of the screen and does not allow iPad Pro screen optimization on this model. I spent $2,800 on this iPad and now I really can’t use after this release!

I hate to be so harsh but sometimes the truth hurts and the truth is this app is pure trash right now. Once upon a time I could get things done but now it’s completely unstable and useless, it crashes all the time, I been barely even open a project with an error message these days. I understand that maybe developers give up and abandon their apps sometimes, but this app shouldn’t be allowed to be sold on the AppStore right now.

WaveMachine Labs definitely deserves full credit for pioneering audio workstations in iOS. It is insane how fluid this app is and how quickly I can get projects tracked and mixed and exported. The possibilities seem endless especially when using decent hardware. I’ve been using Auria since it’s first release years ago and have never been disappointed, it has everything needed to keep a creative flow moving while making music.
