4/5Fantastic, but no longer works with AirPods!!! Plz Fix
With a wide selection of instruments, and what seems like an infinite amount of tools, this is easily one of my most used apps! It is fun to use, and it has a massive range of capabilities. Definitely deserves more recognition. I highly recommend it! It would be nice to see a UI redesign with a more modern look, as well as some more instruments. It also seems as of August of 2023, the “bluetooth/airplay” feature is no longer working with AirPods or other wireless headphones. Upon selecting it, there is only silence, no matter what settings I change. Turning it off causes the audio to come through, but at a very grainy low quality... I know this is a very old app, but I really hope this issue is resolved as I use it a lot still! :)

5/5Good app for my uses
Used since 2011 it’s awesome leaves a little to be desired in the year 2025 in regards only to the samples but a)that is to be expected when the sample library is as small as it is because it has to fit on a phone and b) it has remained the app that I bought all those years ago. It is great for getting something from your head into some form of audio while you are on the go and proof of concept when you can’t pick up a guitar, drum kit, piano, you get the idea. I’m not a pro by any means I just write for my own pleasure. My issue is most of you are going to have access to garage band and probably don’t care admittedly but this is what I have used and it is as described on the carton.

4/5Music Studio is a very capable DAW
I have to say I'm impressed with this app! It has a lot of useful features such as built in midi instruments (and a lot to choose from too) as well as audio tracks to record from a microphone or line in. I really like the Inter App Audio support so you can record audio from other music apps and virtual instruments you may have installed on your device. Here's why I couldn't give it five stars: when I record audio tracks, it will record the wave, but it won't play the sound when I play back my recordings. I can't get the audio tracks to "play" even though the waveform is there. Is it something I'm doing wrong? Or is it a glitch that needs to be updated? I can't figure it out and it's driving me crazy because I really do like this app. I just wanted to bring this problem to someone's attention just in case they're having the same problem.

5/5Awaking and Priced Fairly
I have spent some mega bucks on some big name musical daws and sound packs when many different kinds of music are represented in the this paid version. Seriously, with the small price you get some great sounds. When heard about this at first, I was like ok it would just be another throw away freebie piece of crap but tried the free version and was amazed. I was even more amazed at the cheap price to go to pro! This app plays well with others and works quite well with my midi keyboard which I can not say about some many high end other apps. Definitely worth it even if you only like 1/4 of the styles offered. Works on my iPad Pro and actually has a sizeable keyboard and pads that works great on my small iPhone 8, as well!

4/5DAW noob ... some things to improve though
08 Feb 2019 I have tried a few of the iPad iOS DAWs and some that claim they are; but landed on this one and purchased it with all of the fixin’s. This works from a UI point like what I would expect in most cases and have not had any major problems with the exception of a few major annoyances. I find that the UI just responds very sluggishly when you have one one track and you want to select a single note in order to alter it. You have to hold your finger on that note way too long to select it. I also find having to select which direction to move the note, up or down, forwards or backwards to be a real pain. I would think you should be able to select the note and drag it where you want it with out selecting a direction just as in any other DAW I have worked with. The other issue is that selecting a group of notes to duplicate, when duplicated, the pattern of the notes is sometime changed or notes are left out. This seems to happen really often on my iPad Pro Gen 1 12.7” and it is a major disruption to work flow. I cn never depend on the copy being a faithful reproduction of the original when it is moved to another place. I have not gotten much beyond this because it becomes frustrating to get the app to do what it should be doing; but, I will keep hacking away at it.
