UPDATE THIS APP COME ON

not even compatible with voice memos?????? ITS AN IOS APP WHAT ARE YOU DOING. so many missing midi features that it's honestly getting unusable at this point. it's been two years and there's been no substantial updates. Come on.

This app is amazing

This app is cool and all but could yall make it like ableton where theres a a landscape mode like instead of just loops

Be aware of the cloud syncing

Make sure you open the correct version of your track on the right device before syncing deletes your new project with an older version. Screwed up projects by opening older sets. Was digging a track I was working on a while back. Listened to it earlier in the day on my iPhone, then decided after work that I wanted to work on it that same project again but from the iPad instead. When I opened the project it was an older state and was confused so I linked WiFi and when I opened the project from my iPhone it synced with the older project because I had just opened it and linked to the the internet. Damn I hope there’s a way to view various renditions of projects because that sucks if all my work just got erased from a stupid error like not opening the correct one first. How many projects has this happened with I think now.

Купил эту шляпу в надежде получить удобный клевый мобильный инструмент для создания музона, но увы.

Миди редактор здесь действительно неплохой, с ним работать приятно, эффекты тоже неплохие, но всего два слота под них че то не особо радуют.
Сэмплирование очень тупое и ограниченное. Нормального стретчинга с подгонкой под бпм почти нет, из за этого когда питчишь кусок он либо замедляется либо ускоряется, растягивать и подгонять сэмплы нормально невозможно. Из-за этого живые записи и сэмплы звучат криво, а творческий процесс сильно страдает.
Лучше переплатить за коалу семплер или ваще ву202 бесплатный скачать, там семплить конечно не сильно удобнее, но удобнее и проще, да и функционал больше. Обидно, что программой которая довольно давно существует в магазине приложений тупо не занимаются.

Drift Restore Purchase Bug Persist

Once the in-app purchase for Drift is made, you have to constantly restore the purchase. If you are away from wifi or cellular data, it shows as if you haven't bought Drift. Then after restoring the purchase, the bug persists occasionally, but often. I already reached out to support via email months ago. They said that is not the way it's supposed to go. They said you do not need internet to keep using Ableton Note or the Drift in-app purchase once you have made the purchase.

I don't always want to be connected to the internet, plus if you are on vacation and you don't have internet everywhere you are going, then the Drift in-app purchase bug is not acceptable.

Other than that, Ableton Note is EXCELLENT, but it will take some time to trust that i can use Ableton Note & the Drift in-app purchase offline. They still have not fixed it and it's been a bug that has persisted for months & with other people too. That's not acceptable.

Wow! From a big mobile studio user

Im a huge mobile music studio user and I gotta say that I love what Ableton has done with Note. They’re definitely carving out their own niche in the game.

Best version ever! The scrolling instrument menu at the top of the current instrument allows users to choose established tracks without having to back out of the presented instrument view…big time saver.

Have to wash but its ok

Sometime I use this app while using the toilet and I end up with the residual material dry making it harder to clean.

A Five Star Experience With A Glaring Issue

A melodic rhythm struck me late into the evening, computer powered down and bed calling, but I had to jot it fast or it’d be gone with the wind—Ableton Note’s (reasonably priced) selling point. So I purchased the app, impressed with the sounds and options for creativity except… the rhythm in my head was in 5/4. I’ve scoured the internet, searched Note’s manual, and yes sure I can switch the met off and play it but I needed to see it in a grid to understand the counter rhythm to the beat. Changing the time signature is like surely the most basic function a DAW can perform so I’m still questioning myself, wondering if I’m overlooking something obvious—flabbergasting nonetheless when I can choose from every scale known to humankind for the digital instruments but there isn’t a little dropdown menu in the metronome tab for different times. Hope to update this to five stars soon if Ableton can correct this.

Interesting app

Interesting, but no support for aum and audiobus. Planning?

?

Why isn't the Drift Synthesizer showing up after purchase?

This was my favorite app, now midi stopped working

For the longest time this worked flawless with external midi keyboard, then suddenly midi functionality seams to stopped working. I tried a different keyboard, still not working, however my controller works perfectly fine in garage band. Not sure why this functionality stopped working….

Beauty

It’s beauty I wish it more beauty

UPDATE THIS APP COME ON

so many missing midi features that it's honestly getting unusable at this point. it's been two years and there's been no substantial updates. Come on.

Best App For Music Creation

Nothing else comes close. This is a premium product and it delivers. The drift synth was well worth the upgrade. I hope they continue development as I would be willing to pay for more features.

Sample

Sample on iPhone is so useful,most useful functionality.

I would like to give it 5 stars

It has the most amazing workflow for recording your jams. 10/5 stars for that, do not ever change this, it’s perfect. Loading samples though it’s at the other end of the scale. Even recording to pad is unnecessarily complex. Just takes too much time. We need drag and drop from playable list in the folder. Please please

Disappointing update to pad layout

Hope its a bug. Displaying larger range of notes on pad has ruined how I use the app. Less accessible now that there are too many buttons on the pad closer together. Hope they at least provide an option to get back to the old pad layout

Amazing!

This is a very powerful on the go version of a real daw. Perfect for mobile! If you are into music production, especially if you’re a Ableton user, this is a must have. Cloud sync is great for transferring files! Love the updates as well!!!

Simply the best

I’ve used quite a few music programs on the iPhone. This is by far the best program out there.

V2のメニュー表示

最高の作曲メモアプリとして愛用しています。

Add Trackでトラックの種類を選択できるのは便利です。

V2の新UI?のタッチして表示されるメニューは、不要な確認と操作が挟まり、テンポが悪いと感じられます。個人的に前のバージョンの操作系が好みでした。
