Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Lol. If I cared about midi, perhaps. I’ve gone back to completely audio only. And automation is pretty gold there. I started recording in the days when mixdown involved half dozen people sitting there manually pushing faders up and down during the mixdown. Automation is all I’m missing right now from this. I just recorded an acoustic guitar part this morning with overdubs and it was a treat. No lag whatsover. I love Auria, but it might just have gotten a little to big and complex for the current hardware. If I start to do midi, I’ll go back there, but for now, life’s good.
Meteor is 4Pocket's standalone multitrack recorder, which I recently realized I already own. Yay, appholism.
Thanks for the response. Will keep my eye on the Harmonic Dog app if Meteor is a fail. I was using Cubasis as my audio multitracker on iPad until I found a problem w/ panning - input to the audio interface always showed up on the left and the panning setting would not fix that.
I bought the 4Pockets AU multitracker with the intention of capturing audio while jamming in AUM, with the idea of exporting audio stems from it to a standalone multitracker.
I love Multitrack DAW. It fits perfectly for the quick tracking/importing then processing tasks I want to do just before Koala. I always have it as my input in Audiobus just before Koala as a processor and then grab playing audio in Koala using a pad controller.
The built in effects are great and do 99% of the work, then hosting AUs does the last 1%.
I also like this DAW, been using it a lot with apps that have their own song modes (digistix, digikeys etc) as a DIY groovebox. With the AU support you can then record live instruments around the output and it is nice not to see any MIDI in the workflow for a change.
The update also fixes the Bluetooth bug I reported so I can continue to use it in bed without disturbing anyone
Personally, I’ve never found a more straightforward solution than GarageBand. There’s no such thing as “perfect” for every instance, but I’ve stuck with it (versus transitioning to Logic Pro on desktop) and it has enough power and flexibility for 90-95% of what I need.

Multitrack Daw don’t have time stretch?
Correct.
