13” pro update

I love using this product and simple and intuitive design. Would Y’all up date the app to fit the iPad Pro 13” screens? I use Auria five days a week, to create for My YT channel. I wanted a bigger screen to work with, and got it . But, Auria shrinks to the left top corner as a 11” Pad view. Merci, :) Nashville, Tn.

CRASHES…1 year with no update and I spent a fortune

Spent much on this and it’s add ins and can’t even launch it on the latest iOS. Wish I could always count on it but seems to not be the case.

What happened to this app? I’ll gladly beta test but not keeping an iPad up to date isn’t good practice nor security. Please test this app better.

Was great once…

Currently on latest gen iPad Pro with m4, the timeline view doesn’t fit the screen vertically and horizontally and the mixer view doesn’t stretch vertically anymore. It makes working in Auria a PITA and not fun anymore.

It seems the developers have abandoned Auria, which is disappointing, because it’s such a powerhouse of a DAW on iOS.

Great but…

I have had this app and tons of plugins for years. I absolutely love the flow and look of this DAW. So why the 4 stars instead of 5 you ask? Good question. I have a file app on my iPad. I can move any document, movie, song, etc that I want from iPad to computer using external hard drives, usb sticks and the like all without using Dropbox. I hate Dropbox. This useless function, forcing me to use Dropbox, in order to transfer my songs or tracks is crazy. There is no need for it and it is becoming a problem now that I am not only mixing audio but also video. Did I say that I hate Dropbox?
I am thinking about going to another DAW after all these years.
Please change this useless function. Please let me have control over my own music without placing it on some cloud for the world to see before it’s copy written. Please let me transfer files like every other program on earth.

Still works for me

I don’t use it as much since I don’t work in radio but this app still works

Still the Best daw on iPad

This app is amazing. It’s not Cubase. I don’t consider it an all in one. But it does do audio as a professional daw solution better than any of them.

No longer formats on iPad Pro 11

Used to be good, but the “Pro” upgrade no longer formats to my iPad 11 pro m2. It’s basically unusable for me now. Over $100 wasted down the tube (including in-app purchases) - I’ve sent messages about the problems to the developers support forum and directly to the developer with no response.

It appears to be abandoned. I wonder why Apple still allows this to be sold if it’s no longer supported and no longer functioning on latest Apple devices?

Buyer beware! If the dev ever replies with a fix, I’ll update my review

Can’t connect to midi keyboard

I can’t get my MIDI keyboard to connect.

CRASHES…CASH GRAB!?

Spent much on this and it’s add ins and can’t even launch it on the latest iOS. Wish I could always count on it but seems to not be the case.

It’s back!

I loved Auria when it first came out…to the point of ditching my computer and committing to it and IOS as my new DAW platform. Then the development stopped…for a couple of years. Well, finally it’s back and being developed again. Of course, there is no Logic Pro for IOS, so it isn’t the only game in town, but it’s still wonderful to see this oh so promising platform’s return!

Needs Some Love

Spent much on this and it’s add ins and can’t even launch it on the latest iOS. Wish I could always count on it but seems to not be the case.

Love it!

Have been recording multitrack guitars for a few years and this works flawlessly.
Very intuitive, let’s you create music instead of concentrating on software.

2022 - Auria is BACK!!!

Auria(& Auria Pro) have had some UPDATES this year that has fixed some nagging issues. Now it’s back to being a healthy functioning DAW. Loaded with features and sounds that surpass all other iOS DAWS. Prove me wrong. Thank you Rim for fixing the mixer screen for iPad Air models, and lots of other small things that put this back at the top of the list.

Trash!!!!,

Great for a waste!

Great app

A great app, to be honest it is worth upgrading to the Pro. This works fine on a 2022 iPad Pro. I bought this because Cubasis 3 doesn’t have time signature and tempo tracks, this does. So for editing midi the Pro version is great.

The PRO and Basic version are the best DAWs on iPAD.

I’ve used this tool since it was released and this and the pro version of tool is still my go to tool for mobile recording and editing. It just works.

Disappointed

What used to be my favorite app is now trash 😔

Worked great but now….

I had been using this as my primary DAW for a while then took some time away from it during the lockdown. Now that things are picking up, I decided to get back to using the program. For some reason, every time I use the metronome, it causes the mic to shut off. The mic will only come back on if I enable a Locator and drag the cursor through the locator. When I enable the channel and hit record, now some crazy wave forms show up while I’m recording. A little glitch that is causing some problems with the inputs. Hope this gets fixed.

Dated and neglected, resting on tired laurels

Auria (with Pro IAP) was groundbreaking when it released several years ago. It had a premium price tag, but delivered premium features: audio+MIDI, channels and busses, sends and returns, automation, a true DAW experience.

Since that time, whilst the iOS/iPadOS innovation ecosystem made leaps and bounds, Auria has wallowed, festered, and not really improved at all. The updates in the past few years have just served to keep the lights on.

The UI, which defied all the rules of the Apple interface design guidelines, has not changed a bit. File integration is still tied to Dropbox and 16-bit AudioShare! Hardware keyboard support (iPad Magic Keyboard, etc) is non-existent. IAP restoration forces re-download of existing content (which is slow!). Bugs that were present 5 years ago are still there (‘X’ won’t close the channel strip pop-up: you have to click ‘X’ and then drag the panel around every time before it will close—just one among several bugs, but I name this one specifically because I reported it 5 or 6 years ago, with no reply from the devs).

When it came out, this app promised to be a game changer. Usually with premium price apps, the expectation is continuing updates and innovation, but instead this app has felt all but abandoned for years. There is a big gap for pro-level apps in the iPadOS space, and it seems that someone else will have to fill this niche. (Maybe Apple will surprise us with Logic Pro Mobile Edition?)

Disappearing sound and endless crashing

As a very experienced iOS music maker, I’m frankly appalled by Auria Pro. I upgraded from within the original product which has left me (and others) with what seems to be a bug ridden piece of crap that doesn’t even display as Auria Pro. The midi side of Auria is a clunky thing indeed and I have spent the past week trying to get five tracks working using the internal sounds only. I am using the newest iPad mini but despite freezing each track, sound constantly drops out and any use of the expensive captive fx just seems to bring Auria to the point of meltdown (though not according to the CPU meters). I’m almost at the point of demanding a refund. Give it a swerve.
