I think this deserves it's own thread.

I was intrigued by this one as I researched DAWs a bit from reading the other DAW-thread in here. And I was curious to how an audio DAW would work on iPad.

And, I think this is it!

It's so intuitive, and the GUI is great. And at $9.99 it's really a no-brainer.
Pasting audio from multiple sources and putting together tracks into one intuitive app is just great. With EQ and Comp pr. track.

Just look at the features listed below.

Easily, one of my favorites.....nice and clean, simple, and intuitive.....not real flashy but it does its job just as well as some of the more expensive units.

+1

but it sadly lacks so many other things i need...at least volume automation and the ability to select more than one region at once!

And support seems to be a bit slow...still not happy with the DAW situation on ipads.Auria is to sluggish for me right now (look at my other post in Meteor vs.Auria),Beatmaker has an awesome workflow (my"to go"creative app)but crappy fx and rudimentary Audio clip handling (but it's still new in this app so...),Music studio looks...terrible

and Meteor i didn't try yet.I'm scared it will be sluggish as well and not shure if 12 tracks are enough for my needs.Usually not...

Looking for the BM2 update sometime soon.At least there will be a parametric eq then!

I can select multiple clips just by touching them once.

BM2 always crashes or I get memory warnings...nanostudio works well. MusicStudio, I use it for small instances. Auria boasts a lot of content but can be a bit overwhelming to someone just starting. I don't like using meteor. I hear nanostudio 2 rumors.... Flstudio mobile is almost laughable...I use GarageBand for strings and grand piano...I wish multitrack daw had a count in before recording.

@bmoore:uhm,you're right.Feel like an idiot now.Don't know what i tried before

tips for a hidden volume automation are highly appreciated as well

@derek:weird,bm2 crashed maybe 2-3 times here.And i'm using it a lot,even for bigger projects with many (sampler) instruments or virtual midi.
i totally trust this program in stability terms.and i worked with it on ipad 1 AND 2,i never got memory warnings and it allways run smooth.maybe to many apps in the background?did you check the memory settings of bm2?

Glad it works for you, but I've had terrible luck with it....running ipad 3....frustrating!!!

Try increasing the available memory for BM2 in the iOS settings.

Got them maxed out.....must be ipad 3 glitch....not too worried about it...don't really use it anyway.

'Maxed out' may be the problem?

Turns out you can bounce tracks in multitrack daw. Meteor has more features, but multitrack has 24 tracks. It's a toss up.

Okay, BM2 seems to be stable for me now....I'll dig in a little deeper tomorrow...but it looks like I might be able to use it again! Keep you posted!

What change did you make? My guess is that you lowered the RAM usage allowance in the settings for BM2. This would seem to me to be the solution to the problem...

Hahahaha...I feel stupid! Yes, just went to ipad settings and checked unlimited memory....works fine. I wish I could import midi files created in EZComposer with "open in" option but haven't seen how yet....ideas, besides iTunes file sharing?

Glad you got it fixed!

About the Midi files thing.... I haven't checked, and I don't remember for sure, but couldn't you import your Midi into a file manager such as ifiles or something, and then import them that way? ...again, I haven't checked recently, so I'm not sure... If not, it does seem like a good feature request--to have an easier method for importing items such as midi files.
