Appmuse

I have recorded great songs using this app

No Bluetooth for playback. Too bad. Useful app but quickly becoming less so.

I have been using this app since day 1 and continue to use this more often than any for quick ideas. I’m from the portastudio cassette days and this is the digital version. Keep it simple. Faster and easier than GarageBand. I’m also always surprised by quality I get just using the iPhone mic. And add drum loops, for 5 or 10$?! I paid 1k for a multitrack tape deck years ago! Show more

I’ve been using StudioMini for 10 years. It’s very easy to use. But something I just discovered: bums me out that the app won’t connect with my wireless Bluetooth headphones that I’ve paired with my iPhone; All my other audio apps do, Spotify, podcasts, etc. My iOS is up to date, what gives? Also, after 10 years, I’m still hoping for an update that would allow user to change tempos of the pre-recorded loops. Simplicity and ease of use makes it worthwhile, but it would be a GREAT app with a few tweaks. Show more

Fun to use but every time I try to email a recording it says set up email and it won’t let my from my phone. I was under the impression that this can all be done be phone Show more

Don’t see what gets people so excited about it. Limitations upon limitations....for the price of 5 dollars. There are free apps better than this for basic recording. I’m a professional media producer. I was made curious by all the positive reviews. Now, I’m feeling ripped off. Skip this and buy Multitrack DAW. Show more

Audio quality degraded with each subsequent track.

I love the app ive boughten it even for others. Do you think its worth making it play over blue tooth. Bands might buy it even more!

The instructions is a page not found screen. It won’t access the mic, nor is there a button to access the mic. The user manual is the opposite of helpful. Based on the buttons, if it worked the you’d have a nice fourtrack. They won’t help you either. Show more

useless for my purpose. website is nonexistent and app seems to be abandoned

Love it. Great app to record demos or just noodle around with sounds. File export could be better, and make sure you back up your jams. Recently upgraded a phone and lost everything! Still a very solid app though. Show more

This thing is perfect!! Basic, great drum grooves, no bells or whistles to slow you down when capturing a fleeting idea! LOVE IT!!!!

I bought this app to blend music from multiple sources during COVID-19 social distancing for our Sunday worship services. It works well, and the only frustration I have, as mentioned elsewhere, is the app does not play back through Bluetooth. While not critical, I would love to sit and listen to recordings through my Bluetooth speaker, and play with mixing levels to get the best blend, without having to use wired headphones. Still, it is a bargain for the price. Show more

I’ve been using Studiomini for 6 years now! And what it lacks in completeness and effects it MORE than makes up for in EASE OF USE. It is the real-deal when it comes to “plug and play”. The sound and clarity is also VERY SUPERIOR. It doesn’t require a lot of preamp boost to get volume. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE STUDIOMINI FOR LAYING DOWN IMMEDIATE SONG IDEAS IN THE MOMENT. (I have tried to get started with Cubasis, Ableton, Auria Pro, et al and they all require LOTS of study and trial and error; not StudioMini ✌?) Show more

Been using this for years since back when all I had was an iPod touch 2. Have even exported tracks to desktop for use in full studio recordings. It really is the best thing out there. One tip is to always put dates and any details you can on recording names. I look back on things I recorded years ago and totally forgot about. So glad I found this app and that it remains usable on new iPhones. Oh and the drums are extremely high quality sound Show more

This software is quite an achievement compared to 4 track recorders from days of yore. Having said, once you get beyond its ability to allow you to lay down basic layered tracks on a phone - an iPhone 8 in my case – the apparent features frustrate rather than spawn creativity. The problem is, the year is not 1995 and even back then, 4-tracks allowed for flexibility in adding vocal effects and provided inputs for drum machines with a range of tempos. This does neither, at least without high-tech savvy, and missing both those, a musician will experience huge frustration with the results. I’ve recorded many a tune at an undesired pace, overly rushed or too draggy, and it’s a big disappointment to hear those songs now. And choices of reverb or echo would greatly enhance the experience also, but sadly, nada. Added to that, there is no ability here to “punch-in” so any performance errors require the entire track to be stopped and redone. Big loss on that. Finally, nothing can be played externally from within the program over Bluetooth, so forget about checking out an early mix in your car or Airplay. All in all, for high schoolers or young amateurs, this has some usefulness, but unless the developers are actually active on improving this, keep expectations very low. None of these things have been dealt with in the year or more I’ve had the program. Too bad. Show more

Can’t seem to get it to work on iPhone 7. First track looked like it started OK but then no response

Bought this not knowing I needed a computer to import audio. Why would I spend money on a studio app if I had a cpu.

Edit: 2019 update, still the best 4$ I have ever spent on music. — Seriously, this thing is more powerful than most studios in the 90’s. I am amazed at how light and powerful this DAW is. It turns my iPhone 7+ into a recording machine that is quick, efficient, and easy to migrate products from. 5 stars, two thumbs, etc. Et al. Edit: One year and a half later I apparently forgot that I ever wrote a review for this and came here to say that I have never reviewed an app before and— but apparently I have. I still love Studio Mini, I have made so many songs on this and it’s really simple to use for getting started with learning DAWs and continues being useful even after. I moved internationally and had to leave a lot of my gear behind but luckily I still had this until I can actually get some amps and mics. Show more

Thank you so much for taking care on this wonderful app. StudioMini has been with me for a long time and is very useful for my writing songs and even my musical projects. Show more
