Need help
I’m having trouble uploading M4a files into the tracks, is there something I can do about that?
Crashed, Crashes, Crashing.
You are going to get into an accident. Auria randomly selects which projects it wants to corrupt, then crashes everytime, without fail when try to open your now corrupted file, that somehow got corrupted. I love it, but that alone makes it trash. It’s literally a console; You better leave on the desk until it’s done, because that may be it for that project.

Engineers and musicians tool
This is like protocols, it is made for engineers and it’s workflow is more of an engineering mind than a creators mind(Cubasis). But, as an artist, I like the fact that it function like a desktop DAW and has the best feature of them all, AAF export. I can’t capture ideas in Auria Pro and export them to LUNA on my desktop. Cubasis can do it but limits me to Cubase on the desktop. Cubasis has an easier workflow and some good plugins that can be purchased. It seems Auria has the basics eq/compression built in. Auria Pro also gets the bus routing right for making refined mixes. Although the file manage,ent is cumbersome..anyone who spends a few weeks using Auria will figure out how to get everything to feel free flowing. Like with most things, if you spend the time you will learn to be creative with all that you are able to do. What is limiting or what you can’t do isn’t as powerful as what you can do. Less is more. Use this within your device’s capabilities. I’d give five stars but…I’d want a better file management option. Excellent software.

The best… for some things
Ive got them all, except that fruity whatever and the various abandonware.
I don’t find Auria particularly fast for building tracks, but I love the midi controls. I will often times sketch out tracks in NS, AEM, or CBsis. But once I have things sketched, I import midi into Auria and reload instruments for tracking sessions additional live players, via mics or midi.
Track timing has never been an issue using an 18 channel X-air as interface. It all just lines up.
Auria is about the mix. The compressors are lovely, especially the bus/master, and the eq is very effective as well. Just started using the gates/expanders, but I’m learning they are very good as well. I suggest bringing the aux returns back on faders via track routing in the mixer, and I’m experimenting with the flexible bus routing as well. Nothing to report except that it looks very interesting, particularly for summed triggers and SC things. And it sounds great, particularly if you switch the 64 bit mixer.
PSP IAPs are good, but Drumagog is awesome. I can track a drum kit in a small room, and post record use the skin mics as triggers, and blend the OH in for a very fast and solid drum track.
Editing is a bit clunky, but you can get it done. The selectable fade curves is a great tool for both edits and long mastering fade outs.
Auria can be flaky. A crashed AUV3 inside of the Auria mixer can cause extreme mayhem. The mayhem is magnified by the sloppy file maintenance, and the new session sometimes created each time you launch after crashing. The file process also makes versioning more off a forethought, and backup saves become primary working files if you don’t save the backup and then reload the primary. A quick look in the files app at the local files is frightening. Blech, but I can deal with it
I keep trying to find better, but for now, for mixing and a few post production things, this is it.
If you need amazing auto tune though, AEM wins hands down.

Extremely unreliable
Tbh…it has a lot of features but at this point it feels like the developer has zero interest in this app aside from getting money from new suckers who buy this app. The updates are just sad…all the plugins are just thrown in together and are extremely unorganized to the point it’s a hassle looking for 3rd party apps. I’ve always hated that there’s no manual punch in and the developer has made it clear that because he sees no use for it…..nobody else needs it, lol. But all that aside…it crashes ALL the time….to the point that I could NEVER rely on using it to record a song…let alone risk recording a live performance or show…..you will almost 99.9% experience a crash. And at this point it’s almost like the developer doesn’t care……AT ALL. I could never recommend this app to anyone…..it’s literally the most unstable app on my iPad to the point that even though I’ve invested in some pretty pricey iap’s, I’m ready to throw in the towel…delete from my IPad and just take the L. There’s a reason it has a 2.9 rating at the point of this review and you should definitely believe it’s with good reason. It crashes every single time I use it.

This is a scam there have not been updates in several years
And this is a pricey one. It’s still rubbish.
AURIA PRO Still the best.
Auria Pro remains the most fully featured App on this platform with outstanding audio editing tools that no other IOS offerings can match. Yes there are prettier looking interfaces to be seen as in the likes of Cubasis etc but it’s the depth of editing utilities in Auria that push this App into another league. It is more complicated to use than other DAWS on this platform which means a longer learning curve. Sadly those that give up when they can’t get to grips with the complexity of Auria tend to react with a low star rating. It is not bug free but that can be said about any Daw on this platform. Auria Pro remains my go to App and deserves a much higher rating. I also use Cubase 3 for some projects but the lack of any serious worthwhile audio editing tools makes this app inferior to Auria Pro.

It does stuff
Maybe you can do stuff with it
Constant crashing
I’ve installed this app on several iPads over the years and as impressive and pretty as it appears it either doesn’t start, crashes after opening or crashes or freezes at some point just as you think its working ok. I’ve spent or lost hours of work on and off over the years it’s been available and am quite surprised it’s still being pushed with these problems persisting.. I can’t say any specific cause of the crashes as it seems to happen at random and at any time.

Solid
This is a great app for recording through direct line in, microphone, or midi. I’ve never had problems with it crashing but perhaps that’s cuz I’m using a iPad Pro. I run various plugins like AmpliTube, Sampletanks, etc. without issue. The user interface takes a little getting used to but then work flow runs smoothly. It’s definitely paired down compared to say, Pro Tools, but for home recording it does a pretty good job. I would definitely recommend this.
