## What is Auria LE?

Auria LE is a "lite" version of Auria with a very limited set of features. If you'd like a more complete version of Auria, we suggest looking at either Auria or Auria Pro. These are also available in the App Store.

"This is the first mobile mixing (AND recording AND post production) app that I've ever used that is truly professional. Just Wow !" - David Kahne (Grammy winning producer/engineer for Paul McCartney, Tony Bennett, Stevie Nicks, Sublime, The Bangles, Ingrid Michaelson, Regina Spektor)

Experience the power of Auria in a streamlined version. Record, edit, and mix your music using essential tools taken from the full version, but in a less expensive package designed for those who don’t need every feature packed into Auria or Auria Pro. 

Auria LE is a 24-track digital recording system designed from the ground up for the iPad. With professional-level features and optional third-party plugin support from names like PSPaudioware, Overloud, Fab Filter and Drumagog (available via In-App purchase), Auria clearly sets a new standard for mobile recording.

### 1/5 — Stopped working iOS 16.2

*2023-02-07, version 2.330*

Upgrade to full version through LE version so I’m screwed leaving review here. Used this app for years and it stopped working on IOS 16.2. It will open the default demo but won’t create a new project. Just loads new project menu and locks up completely. 
Rebooted
Reinstalled 
Hard rebooted 
Nothing fixes it. 
Evey other app still works fine except my Auria full 50 dollar app.

### 1/5 — Major Bugs Ignored

*2021-05-26*

Crashes on every exit, hangs on every reload. The anxiety of an impending crash makes it intolerable. Such a waste. Incremental updates omit major issues. I’ve had this now for what seems like forever...it was never a solid performer, only a tease. The latest update got me to try yet again. Same story. Too many other apps passing this one up. If any other dev implements elastic audio and subs you have no need for this aggravation. (Cubasis, nudge, nudge. Zenbeats, wink, wink.)

### 5/5 — Convenient Optimized Alternative to Desktop Production

*2019-05-04*

I’ve followed the internal upgrade path and use the latest version of Auria Pro with all FabFilter synths and effects. I own basically every major music app and DAW but each time I try to use an alternative to AP, I immediately miss the CPU-optimized efficiency of both the FabFilter plugins when hosted through AP, and the deep multisampled EX24/SFZ acoustic instruments in Lyra. With the recent update allowing fast, convenient, intuitive chaining of midi au (including the Atom piano roll) there is nothing that bears fair comparison to the musical experience and control AP offers on iPad.

### 5/5 — Vrai mini studio

*2019-04-25, version 2.22*

Fonctionnant parfaitement bien et très simple d'utilisation, ce séquencer audio et midi se présente comme un véritable studio avec table de mixage et des effets de grande qualité. Avec une bonne interface audio, comme par exemple celles de la marque RME, on obtient un résultat tout à fait exploitable professionnellement. Et tout ça avec la souplesse d'utilisation de l'iPad et un prix plus que modique comparé aux prix des logiciels pour ordinateur.

### 1/5 — Midi bâclé... app immature.

*2017-10-04, version 2.12*

"Some bugs fixed..." - quand on voit comment fonctionne la partie Midi, c'est plus que quelques bugs qu'il faudrait régler, c'est l'ensemble qu'il faut revoir. Pour ma part, je conserve l'app pour les plugins Fabfilter... et je précise que j'ai la version 'pro'.

### 1/5 — Audiobus and interapp audio not working

*2016-09-18*

I have this app and I have purchased upgrade to pro. Audiobus not working. It will not accept tracks in the input matrix coming from audiobus. This was working just a couple weeks ago. Please fix. Inter-app audio also not available.

### 5/5 — Visionary DAW!!

*2016-03-30, version 2.03*

If you are serious about making pro quality tracks on your iPad Auria Pro is a no brainer.

I bought the LE version and upgraded to Pro hence my review here, but it applies to the pro version.

I can't believe it comes with so many desktop DAW features- and with built in fab filter synths, and a sampler that can play sample instruments from Logic's EXS24 sampler (use iTunes or iFunbox to import).

The best thing about this is the dev is very responsive and frequently releases updates to improve features and fix bugs.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2016-03-26*

I'm amazed at what can be done on an iPad.  Kudos to the dev on the most ambitious app I've used (and I've used a lot!). I can't review Auria Pro, since I received a promo code for it, but I do have it, and I'm blown away with how well midi was implemented and how well it works on a mini 2 and iPad4.  The plug-ins are top shelf, as is the dev who must not need sleep, given the time and effort he's put into this.

### 4/5 — Upgrade to full !!

*2016-01-25, version 2.02*

Only allows upgrade to full

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2015-12-07*

How do i get a refund? Both auria and auria "pro" are useless to me can't finish any of my projects because they keep crashing

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.410 — 2026-08-27

• Audio Units with more than one output can now feed separate tracks. A plug-in's extra outputs — ReStem's individual drum stems, for example — appear in a track's input menu under "Plug-in Outputs", and choosing one sets up the routing for you.

• Fixed MIDI tracks slowly drifting out of time over the course of a long playback.

• Realtime quantize now places notes correctly when a plug-in that reports latency is loaded.

• Fixed crashes on iPadOS 26, including when using Undo and when Auria analysed a region's transients.

• Restore Purchases no longer reports success while restoring nothing.

• Auria no longer stops saving permanently if its project folder has been moved or deleted.

• Fixed a burst of noise in the master output on play and stop when a plug-in reports a large latency.

• Delay compensation fixes: tracks fed from a bus or from a plug-in output now line up with the rest of the mix, bypassing an Audio Unit updates compensation straight away, and the playhead follows what you hear.

• Recordings made through a subgroup are now placed at the correct position.

• Scrubbing follows your finger accurately again, and no longer goes silent when a plug-in with latency is loaded.

• Fixed a crash in Drumagog when its kit files are missing.

• Various stability fixes, including a rare crash when plug-in latency changes during playback.

### 2.400 — 2026-08-19

• Fixed audio stuttering issue on iPadOS 26.

• Fixed the app being closed by the system while loading an Audio Unit plug-in.

• Fixed multi-second freezes when files are added to or changed in Auria's Documents folder.

• Fixed Linear knob mode not taking effect on the channel strip, master strip and the built-in plug-ins.

• Unfreezing a mono track now gives it its mono channel back instead of leaving it in stereo.

• More reliable audio when changing the buffer size or switching audio devices, and more dependable Audio Unit and Inter-App Audio plug-in scanning.

• Various stability and memory fixes, including a crash on iOS 12.

### 2.390 — 2026-08-14

• Fixed timing drift with plug-ins that update their latency after loading, including ReStem 2 — delay compensation now follows the change instead of missing it.

• Fixed a crash when replacing a plug-in on a track.

• Fixed a crash when disconnecting an Inter-App Audio app.

• Fixed stability issues on earlier iPads.

### 2.380 — 2026-08-13

• Inter-App Audio no longer loads automatically. Auria now lists the IAA plug-ins a project uses and loads them only when you choose to — this prevents the hangs IAA has been causing.
• Fixed the app freezing during Restore Purchases and when installing purchased content.
• Faster AudioUnit loading, especially plug-ins with many presets.
• Fixed stray taps being registered while the app was busy.
• Fixed a possible freeze when splitting regions.
• Improved crash reporting.

### 2.370 — 2026-08-11

Fixed various stability issues and added support for newer iPads.
