Cubase Vs Garageband Ipad
— 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.
Final Thoughts. Cubasis 2 is a free update for owners of version 1, which is pretty generous. As a new purchase, it’s £40 / $50USD and while this might initially sound a lot for an iPad app, be sure that this is no ordinary iPad app. It’s much more in-depth than something like GarageBand, and much more user friendly than something like Auria. Modstep is described as ‘the first MIDI sequencer for the iPad’. It features unlimited Tracks and Scenes and can be used as the central component in a hardware or software setup to sequence, play and modulate. We say: ”A fantastic app to modulate the hell out of anything – hardware, or software. Final Thoughts. Cubasis 2 is a free update for owners of version 1, which is pretty generous.

One of the most common questions I get as a music technologist is “When will I be able to use my iPad to replace my digital audio workstation?” For many of us, we may hold fast to ‘never’ as the answer. I’ll be honest, I love my Mac Pro. I love my decked out home studio. But after 2 weeks of restricting myself to working solely on my mobile device, I discovered something. I love my iPad, too. For those of you looking to be able to work on the road, or maybe even simply replace your home studio setup with an iOS device—the future is looking very bright.
I took a look at what are widely accepted to be the 5 most popular offerings in the field of iOS DAW recording today. I found that each had strengths that catered to different types of musicians, and I’m very excited to share with you what I’ve found. Paired up with a quality compatible audio interface, (and there are quite a few of those available these days), you can do some serious work on the iPad starting today! Here are 5 great apps to get you started in no particular order.
Auria
WaveMachine Labs developed Auria for the full-featured audio recording studio user in mind. You can work with 48 tracks of mono or stereo audio at 24bit/96kHz. You can even record a staggering 24 of those tracks simultaneously with a compatible USB audio interface. When using Auria to track, I was incredibly impressed with the amount of headroom there was for mixing and editing. This app didn’t just act like a DAW—in many ways, it sonically rivaled them.
Teamviewer 11 mac filehippo. Jun 06, 2019 The system supports cross-platform access across Windows, Linux, Mac, Chrome OS, Android, Windows Mobile, iOS, and Blackberry devices. TeamViewer has a top-of-the-line multi-monitor support system where you can see each monitor individually as a super desktop; this makes it easy to navigate between sessions. For the workplace, this is. Previous TeamViewer versions 10 – 11 – 12 – 13 – 14. The downloads on this page are only recommended for users with older licenses that may not be used with.
Auria includes a full on mixer view as well as a standard DAW tracks view. Within that tracks view you have full editing features that were implemented in an extremely ergonomic and convenient way. I could see myself getting quite fast with this app over time. WaveMachine Labs has also included some classic effects from PSP. These effects include a full-on channel strip and are stackable 4 per track. A bunch of effects are included and you can also add more through in-app purchase. The PSP MasterStrip is even included, so you can take your project through the mixing stage all the way to mastering with some really great, industry-acclaimed effects.
As if all of these features weren’t enough, there is even MIDI sync support with standard Mackie MCU and HUI available for your control surfaces. If you’re looking to do straight up audio recording, you can’t go wrong with Auria. It’s got the features, it’s got the expandability, and it really has the headroom to make your mixes sound great.
Auria is currently on sale in the app store for $24.99

Cubasis
Steinberg’s Cubase is a very popular desktop DAW, so it’s no surprise that they were one of the first companies to the market with a full-featured music production app for the iPad. Cubasis can also handle 24 inputs simultaneously, but they go so far as to claim unlimited audio and MIDI tracks depending on the device you are running it on.
Cubasis is absolutely packed with features, and the visual aesthetic makes Cubase users feel right at home. In addition to recording audio, you also can record MIDI tracks with a nice built in library of virtual instruments. There’s Micro Sonic and Micrologue for both sample-based sounds and synthesizer sounds, as well as a selection of drum loops to choose from for laying down quick grooves. Cubasis features a store as well, and you can purchase additional effects there to really trick out your mix.
If all of that wasn’t enough to get you excited, there’s an included sample editor and key editor. I plugged in my xKey 37 and was able to craft a song from scratch very quickly. I was also pleased to find that you could export your song directly to Cubase for your desktop computer and continue to work in a more high-powered environment.
All of those features are really cool, but what had me most excited was the fact that Cubasis absolutely has the inter-app audio feature of iOS MASTERED. They’ve implemented it better than anyone else as far as I can tell. If you have other synth apps or samplers installed such as MorphWiz, Animoog, or Geosynth, they actually show up in Cubasis as virtual instruments—just like on your desktop DAW! So you don’t have to go over to them, get a sound going and just ‘hope and pray’ that when you switch back to Cubasis it can somehow get the audio from that app—any other audio app that supports inter-app audio will show up in Cubasis as a selectable virtual instrument. That really amazed me and I couldn’t get enough of playing with that feature.
Cubasis is available in the app store for $49.99

GarageBand
GarageBand is easily the most common ‘household name’ in iOS recording simply because it is Apple’s first party offering. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have its strengths, though! A diverse loop library consisting of a variety of instruments makes it really easy to put together a sketch or outline of a tune in minutes.
The included virtual instruments represent a nice selection of the scaled-back EXS sampler instruments of GarageBand for Mac. Really, just about any standard sound you might need can be found in GarageBand. It’s limited to only recording one track at a time right now, so it may not fill the DAW-on-the-go spot you were looking to fill, but if you need to quickly sketch out a song on the fly, it’s probably the easiest to use of all the choices out there.
Now we just have to wait for Logic for iPad! (fingers crossed!)
GarageBand is free for qualifying newer iOS 8 compatible devices, and $4.99 for legacy devices.

FL Studio HD
Fruity Loops has come a long way since it’s original concept as a beat-creation station on the PC. Now a full-fledged DAW for the PC, (and with HOARDS of Mac users absolutely clamoring for it’s appearance on the Mac,) it has spawned a younger brother on the iPad. FL Studio HD is a respectable offering on iOS and has a lot of neat things that make it fun to use. It’s a MIDI sequencer, so there are no audio tracks to speak of, but at the fast rate iOS developers update their apps we can hope that audio is not far away!
The interface is designed for quick, quick, SUPER quick navigation. The buttons and touch areas are all quite large, and there are tabs up at the top of the screen that allow you to quickly jump from view to view. Rather than put too much in any one screen, the folks at Image-Line have opted to make the controls much larger (something you may appreciate with a smaller device like the iPad) and split the screen up with navigation tabs.
The sound set for FL Studio is wonderfully diverse, and they have an excellent organization paradigm. Again, since the sounds are all on their own page, you’ll find them easy to navigate and find. You can enhance your sound libraries with in-app purchases (of course), but FL Studio really comes with quite the selection of instruments right ‘out of the box’. The interface even morphs as you select instruments to drum pads for percussion instruments and keyboards for all other virtual instruments. There is even a waveform sample editor that allows you to record audio, cut it up, and loop it to be used in your projects.
You’ve got MIDI editing via a piano roll, a plethora of built in effects, And of course, it wouldn’t be Fruity Loops without a full-featured step sequencer—don’t worry, that’s included as well! I was truly impressed with how fast I was able to get around on Fruity Loops Studio HD. They did a great job of getting the technology ‘out of the way’ so that I could just make music quickly.
FL Studio Mobile HD is $19.99 on the app store.

Cubasis 2 in all its glory. Here you can see the new Channel Strip insert, and note the new Auto Quantise setting in the Quantise pop-over.
Cubase Vs Garageband Ipad Pro
When I reviewed the first version of Cubasis, back in the March 2013 issue, I concluded that it was “a very promising mobile music-making tool that could shine if Steinberg iron out the initial quirks and bugs and keep the app up to date”. And, in the nearly four years since the app was released, to their credit, Steinberg have done just that, with a steady stream of 1.x updates. These releases have included (take a deep breath) support for Audiobus and Inter-App Audio, the ability to have 24 inputs and outputs and utilise higher sampling rates, support for MIDI Clock and other MIDI messages, the Micrologue virtual analogue synth, track freezing, automation, audio output via Bluetooth, AirPlay, and HDMI, Bluetooth MIDI, MiniSampler and 64-bit support. So yes, Steinberg have done far more than simply keep the app ‘up to date’.
The first thing you’ll notice after downloading Cubasis 2 is what Steinberg describe as a “carefully redesigned user interface”. This essentially amounts to a flatter, cleaner design that’s a little crisper and more pleasing to the eye than previous versions.
One of the headline features is real-time time-stretching, thanks to the inclusion of Zplane’s Elastique 3. Say you add a drum loop from the Media Bay and want it to play back at the same tempo as your project; simply select the Event, tap the new Stretch button on the Tools panel, and a pop-over will appear, giving you the option to automatically or manually stretch the Event. If you select Auto, the Event will be stretched to fit the appropriate tempo (the supplied loops are embedded with tempo information); whereas if you select Manual, you can adjust the stretch factor by dragging two triangular handles that appear at the start and end of the Event.
An additional setting hidden behind an arrow lets you set the algorithm that’s used between Pro, Efficient and Mobile — Pro being the best, Mobile the worst, and Efficient somewhere in between. The algorithm you choose correlates to the CPU overhead, so users with older iPads may need to choose the lower-quality algorithms. With a drum loop, you could hear a difference between Pro and Mobile, although this was, of course, most noticeable when slowing a loop down rather than speeding it up.
Alongside the ability to time-stretch an Event, Elastique 3 is also used to provide pitch-shifting with formant correction. To pitch-shift an Event, simply select it and tap the Transpose button on the Tools panel. A Transport pop-over will appear, giving you three sliders to adjust the pitch in cents, semitones and octaves, plus two additional sliders to adjust Formant Shift and Formant Order. As with time-stretching, you have the same three algorithms available, although formant adjustments can only be made when using Pro. And it’s worth noting that if you apply time-stretching and pitch-shifting to the same Event, the same algorithm must be chosen for both.
Several new effects are provided in Cubasis 2, starting with the Channel Strip insert. Presumably borrowing from Cubase’s Channel Strip (certainly the knobs look the same), Cubasis’ strip offers a cut filter, a noise gate with side-chain, a compressor and a saturator offering both tape and tube modes. By default, Channel Strip is placed before StudioEQ in the signal flow, but you can tap a pair of arrows on the insert slot to reverse this order if you wish. There’s also a new insert called Spin FX that can produce stutters, tape stops, filter effects, and other DJ-like moves and is fully automatable. This is similar to the Remix FX controls Apple added in GarageBand 2.1, although while these are only available on the master output in GarageBand, Spin FX can be added as an insert to any track or output.
If you require additional effects, Cubasis has supported Audio Unit Extensions since v1.9.8, and in version 1.9 Steinberg began offering two additional FX Packs, which are more or less essential £4.99$6.99 in-app purchases if you find yourself really getting into the app. Pack 1 includes Tape Delay, Stereo Delay, Long Delay, Stereo Width, Non-Linear Reverb and Early Reflections, while Pack 2 offers Pan & Tremolo, Rotary Speaker, Bit Reduction, TalkBox, Wah Pedal and Enhancer. It’s just a shame Steinberg don’t now offer these as Audio Unit Extensions in version 2 so they could appeal to a wider range of users. And speaking of Audio Unit Extensions, it’s still not possible to automate these as you can with the internal effects.
Falling into the category of last-but-not-least, Steinberg have (finally) added an Auto Quantise option, along with additional presets for Micrologue and a number of ‘TAPE’ instruments for MicroSonic that add some Mellotron-inspired sounds to your palette. The only thing I wish Steinberg would have added is a Tempo Track, although such an omission is pretty common amongst iOS apps.
Cubasis 2 requires at least iOS 8.3 and is fully compatible with iOS 10 (I tested it on a 9.7-inch iPad Pro running iOS 10.0.1). Initially, when I saw the name of the app had changed to Cubasis 2, I assumed this would require a new purchase (as when Intua released Beatmaker 2 or WaveMachine Lab’s Auria became Auria Pro), but this is gratifyingly not the case. Cubasis 2 is an update like any other if you’ve already purchased the app. For new users, Cubasis 2 is priced at £39.99$49.99.
A second, LE version of Cubasis is also available with fewer features, and while it’s freely downloadable from the App Store, it will only run for 30 minutes in demo mode unless you connect a compatible Steinberg or Yamaha interface. LE can be upgraded to the full version for the slightly reduced price of £22.99$29.99.
In terms of functionality, Cubasis 2 sits somewhere between GarageBand and Auria Pro (which costs the same), although the latter’s more sophisticated features arguably come at the cost of a less-friendly user interface. If you’re a Cubase user, the ability to start a project in Cubasis and transfer it to Cubase via the Cubasis Project Importer is obviously rather convenient. And even if you’re not, you should at least check out the LE demo as, overall, Steinberg have really done — and indeed are doing — a fine job with Cubasis.
