Fantastic app
I can’t believe more people aren’t using. This seems to me like it should be number one. It has everything a composer could want everything a songwriter could want.
Better than most
I own about 6 iOS DAWS. This app has several advantages but some shortcomings. The UI is somewhat quirky in that it is not all that intuitive. Takes a while to get the hang of it. The biggest advantage, for me , over similar apps is the piano roll editor. Moving and editing midi notes is extremely easy and well designed. However, there are two features I’d like to see added. It would be helpful if, when adjusting note velocity, one could hear the sound change similar to what GarageBand offers. Also, I’d like to be able to import a midi file and be able to change the key of the song. UPDATE 5/5/2025 Previously I used a standalone piano app via inter app audio for recording. However, I will now standardize with the MTS Studio provided grand piano. With some tweaking of the app provided EQ, I was able to achieve a sound that rivaled the standalone app. I just saved about 800MB of space. Wish I would have pursued this earlier.

Response from developer
The Pro Extension IAP includes a Multi MIDI Editor which would let you transpose all MIDI tracks in one go. Without that you have to transpose the tracks one at a time (first do "select all", then tap the EDIT button and use the Transpose setting).
Awesome iPad Multitrack Music Recording App!
I have used MultiTrackStudio (MTS) for ipad over several years now and feel it is simply the best multitrack recording software available for home studio, professional-quality music recording. Even in its stand-alone basic version it is awesome. When linked to AUDIOSHARE and AUDIOBUS apps it creates a completely powerful, but user friendly digital audio workstation with enormous storage and organizational capacity. I put away my old Cakewalk/PC and GarageBand/ipad recording programs. MTS for ipad simply blew them all away, was much easier to use, and was very inexpensive. Perhaps its strongest feature is its developer, Geil Bremmers, who maintains an MTS user forum to quickly and personally address user questions, problems and or reports of software bugs. He also posts songs created with his App. The available high sampling rates and quality bitrates provide better than CD quality music, and the app works flawlessly with both lossless audio files and full MIDI implementation (with excellent available on-board optional instruments for playback). The Pro Extension version provides unlimited track access, multiple additional effect options, and additional MIDI playback instruments. The MTS features are too extensive to review herein. I have effectively retired my 8-track Fostex multitrack tape recording system as MTS blows it away in terms of sound quality, ease of operation, and amazing versatility. I compose, perform and record with musicians from all across the USA, most of which send me their own tracks (in .wav, .m4a, .mp3, etc formats) from either professional studios or their own complex recording software. I can do a quicker and better job of mixing their tracts down in my iPad using MTS then they can with their higher end PC or Mac programs. The MTS on-board master compression and limiter functions quite simply rival pro studios in quality, allowing me to quickly edit, mix down and provide my colleagues with multitrack stereo demo’s having CD quality, for free. Blow off Garage Band, Auria and Cubasis and move onto MultiTrackStudio….you will be very glad you did. Dr. K.

Don’t let that humble icon fool you…
MultiTrack Studio is brilliant. It has a deep feature set that gives me absolute creative freedom. It is bleeding edge with audio and especially MIDI. The developer is very engaged with users, and continues to release massive updates with great new features. Careful attention has been given to useability. 10 out of 5 stars!!
