After researching many of the other DAW apps for the iphone, this is the best one. I previously had 4 track but believe this one is far superior. In my research I have concluded that many apps bragg about being a complete DAW, non of them are so once you get your expectations realistic then consider using this app.
I am the member of a songwriting duo. For me, my cowriter can send me an instrument track and ask me to lay down some melody ideas or guitar ideas for it. This app lets me import the instrument track, lay down various vcl and guitar tracks, and then quickly email the ideas to him all using this app. My favorite features are:
- import and export of files
- interface is genius. I feel like I am using sonar.
- you can name your tracks! Yes this seems basic but 4track did not allow me to do it.
- seeing the wave forms and being able to move them around to sync up all the other parts that I end up importing.
- reliability (too often this is overlookced by most purchasers). Even if you dont buy this app. Buy one that doesnt crash.
- my songwriting partner has a usb hand held recording to store his ideas but he cant even name the files and moving to a particular part of a track (say to listen to a chorus part I wrote to see if he likes it) involves holding down a fast foward button. THis app makes his usb recorder obsolete.
Normally I dont bother with writing reviews but this app is so good, I want to continue to see it succeed and evolve.
For the musician that gets inspired, and wants to record pretty good demo versions of music without the interface, or booting up computers getting in the way, this app is ideal.
