Our verdict on Auria Pro
Auria Pro is an iPad music production application for musicians, recording engineers, and full bands working on iPad. It combines multitrack audio recording and editing with a comprehensive MIDI sequencer, piano-roll editing, software instruments, real-time warping and quantization, effects, routing, and automation. Unlimited playback tracks and support for up to 24 simultaneous recording inputs with compatible interfaces give it a broad scope for arranging and recording larger projects.
Its strongest area is the combination of MIDI and mixing depth. The application provides 64-bit mixing with buses, subgroups, aux sends, and automation, alongside built-in instruments including Lyra, FabFilter One, and FabFilter Twin 2. Audio Units, Inter-App Audio, Audiobus, AudioShare, Audio Copy/Paste, Dropbox, SoundCloud, and iTunes support connect it with an iOS-oriented production workflow. External iOS-compatible hard drives add storage flexibility, while AAF import and export support project interchange with other DAWs.
Auria Pro also reaches beyond a conventional audio-only workflow through optional video import with sample-accurate synchronization. Third-party effect plug-in support is available through an in-app purchase, so the core application and expanded plug-in capability are separate considerations. Its iPadOS focus makes it a strong fit for producers who want substantial sequencing, recording, and mixing tools on iPad, but a poor fit for teams that require desktop or cross-platform availability. Choose it for serious iPad-based production; consider an alternative if desktop access, a free plan, or integrated third-party plug-ins is essential.
