Multitracker is a live player that allows you to play multiple audio files and midi files comfortably and flexibly with the help of playlists. If a USB audio interface is connected to the iPad, the audio tracks (stems) of a song can be routed to any of the outputs of the interface. At the same time, the headphone output can also be used as an additional routing destination, so that you have two additional channels available. To play midi songs, Multitracker provides a midi player that allows each MIDI track to be assigned to any existing Midi device (whether via USB or iPad instrument such as Sound Canvas). Of course a midi song can be played in sync with audio tracks. If necessary, a metronome with 9 different click sounds and freely selectable time signature can be added to your song or be played alone. It has never been easier to play multitrack and midi songs on stage!

Verdict

The call

MixPad Music Mixer and Multitracker both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Multitracker's written reviews are positive against 43% of MixPad Music Mixer's. Multitracker also leads on ratings volume (160 vs 13) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). MixPad Music Mixer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MixPad Music Mixer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Multitracker has 160 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of MixPad Music Mixer's written reviews are positive against 83% of Multitracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MixPad Music Mixer ships an update monthly, Multitracker every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
