Love it
I love this app some of the stuff I do not know how to wear it. There is no tutorial on how to work things on it anyway I’m telling you I like it. I’ve been using it for years. I don’t expect or no if anyone is going to contact me back.mifoman1

Hi mifoman1 and thank you for being a part of the StudioMini family all these years! We really appreciate your review and kind words. We are hard at work at making a series of content to help uncover all the fantastic things you can do with StudioMini. Look out for those to start showing up on our site otreus.com and on YouTube towards the end of summer. You can also always contact us at help@otreus.com with questions and feature requests, we'd love to hear from you!I like it except for one key feature missing
This is a fun and extremely basic but intuitive little multitrack recorder that allows you to record up to four separate tracks, just like the old cassette four-trackers from the 80s. There are very few bells and whistles save for some on-board drum loops which I think are new to the app and they are very helpful for setting down a groove for adding your guitar tracks, bass, etc. tracks. The one key feature missing I mentioned in the review title is such an obvious feature for guitarists that I can't believe it's not been included in this most recent update and that is the ability to loop the tracks like a looper pedal so you can practice a lead solo or other part. I hope the developer can add looping on the next update because that would make this a solid five- star app for simple, quick recording and practicing without the complicated learning curve on other recording DAWs. It would be great to be able to flip a switch for the transport to loop instead of having to hit the play button again when it stops.Rick57

Hi Rick, I'm following up with an update: We've just released StudioMini 3.1, which includes our new Repeat Play feature. You can now repeat as you requested! StudioMIni 3.1 also includes Project Sorting, Localization enhancements (support for Greek), improved Offline Support, and bug fixes. Make sure to update and let us know what you think! ----- Previous reply: Hi Rick57 and thank you for the review. We couldn't be happier to hear that you find StudioMini easy to use! That's a core part of our philosophy around designing software - we aim to help without getting in the way of your creative flow. To give you pro quality without a steep learning curve, and solid software you can rely on that we hope you find a joy to use. We've logged your feature request for Repeat. We'll be developing that feature soon, and I will follow up when I have news on when it will arrive. Thanks for buying and supporting indie software devs working to support their fellow musicians!Bait and Switch
I have a bunch of recordings I made in StudioMini years ago. Now I find out that because I’ve updated the app I’m only able to use the app a few more times without paying a monthly fee.
When I originally purchased the app it was a perpetual license- by once, own forever. If I knew updating to the latest version would cripple the app I would not have updated.
Devs: you’re undermining your support. When people would ask me about recording on a mobile device I would drop the StudioMini name. Now, I’m going to tell them to avoid it. Smooth moves. I understand developers need to make money, but this isn’t the way.Uncoolcentral

Hello Uncoolcentral. Thank you for your candid reaction to our latest update. It's clear that you're not happy with some of the changes, and I assure you that we are not happy to see you unhappy! "Every user counts". That is a mantra for us, and we genuinely mean it. Before I get into a more detailed response, I want to invite you to reach out to us at help@otreus.com. We can have a longer discussion there and see if there's a way we can help make things right for you. We definitely don't want to lose you as a StudioMini user! We released StudioMini back in 2009, selling for a one-time fee of less than a coffee. StudioMini could (for the most part) do what would cost you hundreds of dollars in hardware, or a laptop with expensive DAW software. We were able to release many updates over the years, adding features and improvements, but over time it became harder and harder. Not because we didn't want to, but simply because it was no longer possible to fund the development - we just weren't making enough money to be able to continue. Throughout this we never stopped getting emails from users telling us how much they loved StudioMini, and asking for new features to be added. We were faced with challenging options - either give up on StudioMini entirely, i.e. let it die, or find another path forward that would allow us to finally modernize StudioMini and develop the features we so badly wanted to for our users. The only way this could be made possible was by changing the pricing to something more sustainable - something that better reflected the value StudioMini provides, and allows us to continue serving our users over time. There are some points I want to highlight, that I hope you will take into consideration. Regardless of what you choose to do however, StudioMini 3 now makes it very easy to export your Projects without needing a laptop. You can export all your Projects and WAV files to any storage connected through Apple's Files (Dropbox, Google Drive etc.). You don't have to be a paying customer to export, this is always available and free, your music will never be locked in. StudioMini 3 also now includes our all-time most requested features: Auto Punch, Bluetooth support, Panning, Loops speed control, Stereo recording with iPhone's built-in mics, as well as major improvements to Mixing, Sharing, Importing and Exporting. We hope you will consider continuing, and we look forward to hearing from you! We would love to hear more about how you use StudioMini, what improvements you would like to see, and hear more about your thoughts in general.

You’re on the go, in a hotel room on tour. You’re at school on a break with your acoustic guitar in hand. You’re in the car parked outside the office. Inspiration strikes! You’re humming a melody, a couple of chords start to form, the spirit of the muses starts flowing through you. At this moment you don’t need endless possibilities from your gear, you need something simple yet powerful, something that will help you. You need “here you go, keep going”, not “look over here!! Jump through these 10 hoops first, make a bunch of technical decisions, sift through endless options”. By the time all this happens, the muses may well have clocked out for the day. StudioMini prides itself in being your musical companion, software that’s enjoyable to use, simple yet powerful. It doesn’t get in your way; with just two quick taps you’re off recording your new idea!
Select a beat from a practical and curated set of professionally produced drum loops, made for and only available with StudioMini. You can adjust the speed to taste, then focus on capturing high quality audio with your interface and pro mics. Or, simply and quickly get your idea down using your headphones and the built-in mic. Mix and pan to taste. Export and share a final mix of your song in high resolution audio, ready for mastering. Or export the individual tracks and continue the production with your producer in Pro Tools.
Lay down a couple of guitar parts, then share your Project on Google Drive, Dropbox etc. all without leaving StudioMini. Your bass player can open the StudioMini project, add bass parts, then save it back for your singer to add vocals. Punch in easily and fix sections, add new parts later, overdub to your heart’s content. Ultimately we’re making music and not having the distractions of endless desktop DAW options can help us focus on the song, our performance, and all the things that connect our ears to our hearts. Create a final mix that’s ready to upload to Spotify or Apple Music.
