Appmuse

The indignant detractors may put their offense to rest. This app will record Simultaneous Multitrack. For the price, you won't go wrong with this choice of DAW, either as your only DAW or as a compliment to another. I own just about every iOS DAW. I've tried them all, and each one has it's strengths and weaknesses. This one is useful for tasks that can't be accomplished readily in any other. Show more

I froze a track and the prompt saying "freezing track, please wait" froze on my track view. It just stayed there. I could work in the view, but the warning stayed permanently. I deleted the app and am re-downloading the app, hopefully it doesn't happen again. Show more

New to Meteor, but have had a recording studio for over 25 years. This app is definitely spot on. Price is nothing when you get this much freedom. Keep rocking!

Desperately need the ability to fine tune tempo to 2 decimal places (75.80 bpm), and the ability to name markers and see markers in "project overview". That would make this app REALLY good. Show more

I too have found this my go-to app. I have been Multi-tracking since 1976 with my first 4 track reel to reel, later with my first 4 track cassette recorder (Does Fostex ring a bell?), then on to my Rolland VS 880, then later another Rolland VS 890. I was a slow-to-convert to computer recording (although technically the Rollands were nothing more or less than just self-contained computers). For the past couple of years, I used Garage Band once it was compatible with the iPad. Meteor is not only constantly updating this app, but updates the app with, for me, exactly what I wished it had prior to the update. The manual is logically put together and extremely easy to understand. My next wish-list item... 24 bit?.?. Great job, guys! You've got me hooked!!! Show more

I've been using 4Pockets apps since I first discovered Pocket RTA for the Pocket PC around 10 years ago. Consistent quality and support over the years. When I first purchased an IPad I went exploring for music creation apps. First stop was Garage Band which was great but I quickly outgrew it. Upon looking for a replacement I found Meteor and it has been my goto app ever since. Previous recording tools forced me to conform my creative ideas to the capabilities of the software. Meteor however has supported most any thing I've ever attempted. Recently purchased the MIDI upgrade that is allowing me to do work inside if Meteor which required outside apps before. Newest surprise has AudioBus support. If your looking for a top shelf recording and production app, give Meteor a try. I believe it will continue to increase in value over time. Thanks 4pockets.

I find this pretty good for a beginner.

I really appreciate the usefulness of MMR. I can record through Audiobus without a hitch (no lag or glitch). I can't say the same about the GarageBand app. I can copy/ paste from AudioShare using CopyPaste 2.0. I can trim my audio loops, add fade in/out, add effects and paste it back into AudioShare for use with Retronyms products (Tabletop, IMPC). My only con is that it is not 100% intuitive. If you are a pro then you will know which signposts to look for and you won't get lost. -Cheers Show more

While there are many great things here, some UI consistencies are lacking from view to view and there is a serious MIDI dropout issue to be addressed.

This program has some good features, including the very necessary track freeze which other apps lack, but o.m.g. The GUI wants to make me stab my eyes out, it's so frustrating! Nothing is where it should be, nothing is logical and editing is nigh impossible. Also, the synth is a bit lukewarm. Of course, I never got that in depth as it takes me an hour to figure out how to make a MIDI track every time I open the program, thinking I'll give it another try. Show more

Really like this recorder, there is a learning curve but I'm getting there.

As a long time user of audio mixing software I find Meteor quite lacking and certainly not as usable as professional software. Recording tracks through Audiobus seems to lose frequency response in the bass. Try recording iKaossilator bass through audio bus and you will see what I mean. The track editing is very clunky and time consuming. Tempo is only available in 10bpm increments so you can not have a song at 95bpm in Meteor. There is no trim to loop which is quite disappointing as well. For a rough cut field app I would recommend Meteor but it is not going to replace ProTools, Sonar, or Audition for final production needs. Show more

I spent awhile trying to figure out why my correctly assigned AUX sends weren't...sending. In all the backtracking, I prolly flipped the AUX fx power buttons. On the I/O switch, I naturally flipped them to "I". (And both positions are highlighted red.) But in Meteor, they're backwards. Since On and Off are both "o" words, I remember (correctly!) this way: Binary; 1 and 0, On and Off. Show more

This is the best IOS DAW period!

This has to be the biggest bargain so far. I go as far back as the 2 track reel to reel, and have been thru pretty much all of the transitions in recording since. A sixteen track with all of these features for $20.00 bucks, a no brainer. And it sounds good. Show more

Meteor has grown a lot since its launch. It seems like a great option for MIDI projects assuming you buy the MIDI Editor upgrade. I'm not really a fan of certain IAPs like the MIDI editor, or EQ. I feel that all DAWs should have at least a basic 4band parametric and or graphic EQ included. I can understand charging for a more powerful EQ like a 10 band or higher, but not something so basic as a 4 band. Might as well just buy the "AudioMastering" App instead and get 10 bands, stereo imaging, saturation, and limiter in one package. Meteor seems to have come a long way though with all the new features, instruments, FX, and now a standard 16 tracks upgradable to 24 (via IAP) for a reasonable fee. It's more stable, or probably it's that I'm using an iPad 4 now. For working with mostly audio it's not getting the job done as I am accustomed to. For some reason Meteor will always leave a click at the point where loops meet, with imported audio samples or Audiobus recordings. It drives me nuts, and has always been a sticking point for me leaving Meteor off the table for my work. I don't know why Meteor does this? Why cant it let perfectly lined up loops just play seamlessly? I can do exactly the same in Auria, Cubasis, or any other iDAW without ever hearing the clicks as I do in this. Those ones just work without any fuss in that scenario, where this fails. There's an awful lot of working with menus for even simple tasks, which even for an Auria user like me, is a lot and it can be annoying. Still Meteor gets the job done well for many users. It has a nice set of tools included, and the FX are decent, maybe even better than a lot of others. Not at all close to Aurias though. Maybe I can't bond with Meteor because it is better suited to MIDI use, which is a low priority for me? That said, if you do a lot of MIDI work, and don't mind paying extra for the (what's normally a standard feature in other DAWs) full functionality then Meteor is probably worth a look for you. Get ready for lots of menus, and audio problems though. SmiteMatter.com Show more

Best DAW for the dough on ipad, and I should know. I have bought them all. I overlooked it because it doesn't get as much attention or have the glitz of some of them but it's my favorite now. Better than Cubasis, better than Auria in some ways for now even (Auria doesn't support MIDI instruments yet). Not a pretty interface but it's very functional and easy to understand. I haven't even needed to read the manual yet. If you are coming from a desktop environment like Cakewalk/Sonar give this a whirl and you'll probably like it. Show more

Love the new update, particularly the recording loop mode, which allows up to 6 recordings on a loop so you can choose the best take. Also best DAW for ipad 2. Minimal glitches and crashes. However, I have problems applying effects sometimes on aux send . The effects selected just dont seem to take on the selected track and bus. Show more

Most complete, feature rich daw for IOS to date. The Devs continuously update this app. If they updated the UI Meteor would rise to at least top 3 daws.

This is one of the top 3 DAWs, and probably the MOST complete and efficient of the three (between Auria, Cubasis, and Meteor). Easy to use too! As of this writing, Auria doesn't have MIDI sequencing, Cubasis doesn't have automation, neither of them have a sampler (Meteor has one). Meteor will even work with smaller projects on an iPad 1--the minimum for the others is an iPad 2. Over all, it is a very complete, efficient DAW. Show more
