Audio Deck vs Songwriter

Use Audio Deck to listen to your sketches, mixes, and any other audio you're working on. Organize your tracks into folders, arrange and sort them, and also tag tracks. If all you need is an audio player, those features are all free. With a subscription, your tracks will be uploaded to the cloud. Your audio library will be available across all your devices and will stay in sync. If your device gets full (as it does), you can clear the storage on your device. When you need to listen to those tracks, just download them again. The Audio Deck Cloud service keeps the originals for you. A subscription also allows you to share your tracks. If you are annoyed by using standard file-sharing apps to send music, this part is for you. In Audio Deck, you create a link, and you send that link to your friend. That link will open Audio Deck on your friend's device, and they can immediately download and listen to your music. If you give permission, they can also export and save the original file. Receiving and listening to a shared folder is free and works across different mobile devices, so your subscription makes collaboration wonderfully easy.

Songwriter is a pocket studio where your lyrics and recordings are finally organized together. Create a song and hit record (or add lyrics first!). Every recording stays attached to the song it belongs to, so you are never digging through old voice memos that you hope are tagged correctly and trying to find the best one. Features and Capabilities: • Each song features a lyrics editor/viewer • Songs can be optionally grouped into folders (to organize by project or album) • Capture as many recordings (or takes) as you want • Multi-track sessions: record or import up to four tracks, each with its own effects/panning • Import backing tracks, drum loops, or reference audio from Files • Built-in effects, plus any AUv3 plug-ins already installed on your device • Bounce a mix to a new audio file with every effect rendered • Export the bounce as audio • Render it as a video with an animated waveform, sized horizontal, vertical, or square (can even add a photo as the background!) The free version includes 3 songs, one recording per song, and one bounce, so you can test this out to see if it fits you workflow before you pay. Songwriter Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and unlocks unlimited songs, recordings, and bounces along with audio import, multi-track sessions, and video rendering.
