WNAMM12: 48-Track DAW For The iPad

WaveMachine Labs announce Auria 18-Jan-12

Auria is a 48 track digital audio workstation designed exclusively for the iPad. WaveMachine Labs say that, built from the ground up to be used in professional studio and live tracking applications, Auria includes the necessary tools for recording, mixing, and editing any project. Auria introduces innovative features such as AAF import/export for moving sessions between popular DAWs (like Pro Tools and Nuendo), 64-bit double precision architecture, and up to 24 tracks of simultaneous recording using compatible USB audio interfaces.

WaveMachine Labs has teamed with PSPaudioware to offer a powerful vintage-inspired channel strip on every channel, plus a mastering processor on the master and subgroup channels. Auria also features a first among mobile apps - VST plugin support; Auria includes several bundled plugins (convolution reverb, stereo chorus and delay, classicVerb and a pitch processor). Plug-ins by PSPAudioware, Overloud Audio Tools, Fabfilter and more will be available through in-app purchase. WaveMachine Labs tell us that they are pioneering the effort to develop the VST standard on iOS, allowing manufacturers to easily port their existing plugins to the iPad.

Auria includes:

  • Up to 48 tracks of simultaneous playback
  • Record up to 24 tracks at once
  • VST plugin support
  • AAF Import and Export
  • Fully featured multitrack editor
  • Includes plugins from PSPaudioware, Fabfilter, and more

Sonic State will bring you more news on this when we see it in action.

Pricing and Availability:
Available 1st Quarter 2012. WaveMachine Labs say that the app will be $49.99 and will include several plugins and that, while additional plugin prices will vary, most of the more well-known plugins will be in the $10-20 range.

We're in beta testing right now and it should be out in a few weeks!


Tmidiman 23-May-12 06:58 PM

So is Auria coming out this month, or is it being pushed out again? II was looking at picking this up, but if it is delayed again I will move my funds towards video production.


Tmidiman 16-May-12 11:08 PM

Thank you for replying That is fantastic! I already have a DAW and tons of hardware. I wasnt looking forward to purchasing more hardware. Auria is on my purchase list for sure!


WaveMachineLabs 16-May-12 06:15 PM

You can certainly import/export audio--Auria supports WAV, AIF, and MP3, as well as full AAF Import/Export. Using AAF you can export a session from ProTools, Logic, or any other AAF compatible DAW and all the region positions, edits, and things like volume automation will be preserved in Auria (and vice versa!)


Tmidiman 16-May-12 02:00 PM

I'm hoping I can import and export audio to an from this app. I'm no looking to have to buy more audio hardware. Hardware for the iPad is to pricing and after spending a grand on the iPad I've reached my limit.


iOSMusician5 06-May-12 01:02 AM

Mind, blown...


bradgphoto 05-May-12 03:15 PM

This is what I have been waiting for!!! Just curious I have the io dock and the punch in feature does not work with garageband. Will I be able to do punches with this? Also Garageband is a very simple program with limited features. I believe anyone can learn it in a very short time. This is a more professional recording platform and I was wondering if you guys were going to release manuals with the app? Also when will this be available?


delajuan35 05-May-12 12:21 AM

ok like when is this suppose to drop? We are now in may.


HolliValsMusic 28-Apr-12 08:24 AM

48kHz @ 24 bits = 8.24 MB/minute/track At 24 tracks, 1 minute = 197.75MB - Found this via google.

So 48 tracks / 1 minute = 395,5MB.

45 minutes of 48 tracks, a typical album length is less than 18 GB. So I guess I will be going for the 32GB iPad. What I haven't been able to find out, is what the best solution to back up the iPad is. How about USB drives anyone?


WaveMachineLabs 27-Apr-12 06:24 PM

Sounds like a great set-up! We've tested the Apogee Jam and it works well.


HolliValsMusic 27-Apr-12 08:15 AM

I'm planning on this setup: iPad 2 3rd generation, Apogee MiC, Apogee Jam, Auria. Will these things work together?


SlugNation 16-Apr-12 06:02 PM

Does the iPad really have enough RAM for 48 tracks? I doubt it...


WaveMachineLabs 04-Apr-12 08:21 PM

We expect to be releasing Auria in May.


WaveMachineLabs 04-Apr-12 08:21 PM

This song was used as a demo since the multitrack was made available to us--we will be releasing some material that was recorded and produced using Auria very soon.


liamscokedealer 04-Apr-12 02:09 AM

so you mean for connecting XLR mics etc? thanks


liamscokedealer 04-Apr-12 01:58 AM

can you post some sample songs recorded with Auria? If this song in the background was not recorded with it, it is very misleading.


WaveMachineLabs 03-Apr-12 09:03 PM

There will not be MIDI support in the first version of Auria, but it will be compatible with the Alesis IO dock for audio purposes.


WaveMachineLabs 03-Apr-12 09:00 PM

Auria will be $49.99 US. The only VST Effects are those that will be available to purchase through the in-app store.


StanleyRU 03-Apr-12 06:14 AM

when will we expect it out?


gocy 02-Apr-12 05:04 PM

we're in the second quarter already. when will we expect it out? or is it only a u.s release? Maybe I can't get it because I'm on the app store in France and in Sweden.


liamscokedealer 02-Apr-12 12:53 AM

Will this have Coremidi support so i can use it through an Alesis IO dock or something similar?


liamscokedealer 02-Apr-12 12:39 AM

This is amazing. This is what I had in mind when I originally purchased an IPAD. I cant wait for this :) Any idea how much this will be? Also, how will it be possible to get VST plug ins installed unless they are purchased through the app?


anthonyalves1 20-Mar-12 04:28 PM

Hey Wavemachine labs here's a question, just checked out James McCartney's recording of this song and it says that this song was recorded in a recording studio and Mastered at Sterling Sound. I did notice that you never claim that the song was actually ever recorded using Auria but the way this video plays it gives you the impression that it might have been. Can you clarify that the music, FX, and Mastering of this song are not the result of Auria but rather the studio in which it was re


anthonyalves1 19-Mar-12 08:44 PM

First quarter is almost over so any hopeful news on a release date would be exciting to hear. Can't wait to try it on my new iPad 3rd gen. My fingers are crossed for April.


WaveMachineLabs 19-Mar-12 05:29 PM

Auria was developed so closely aligned with the iPad hardware that it's hard to imagine it being ported to Android, at least in the near future. However, it is something we will certainly consider.


WaveMachineLabs 19-Mar-12 05:28 PM

As far as we can tell, samples rates will be the same on the iPad 3. So yes, 96Khz should be possible.


WaveMachineLabs 17-Mar-12 12:22 PM

Yes, it will work with any of these devices, as well as multichannel USB interfaces (up to 24 inputs).


WaveMachineLabs 17-Mar-12 12:21 PM

Auria will support sample rates up to 96Khz on both iPad 2 and 3


MenOfHonor2011 17-Mar-12 12:14 PM

And, also in the future will this be on the amdroid market?


MenOfHonor2011 17-Mar-12 11:57 AM

will the sampling rate go up 96khz with the ipad 3?


WaveMachineLabs 15-Mar-12 04:48 PM

Once the app is released (we're in the last stage of development now) it will work with most current iOS compatible audio interfaces - no MIDI in Auria, strictly audio.


julya400 15-Mar-12 12:06 AM

Hello! Great video :) ...I would like to know if this app works with iRig midi, iRig mic and iRig guitar? Thank you!


WaveMachineLabs 12-Mar-12 05:39 PM

We're still looking close to our original estimate, which was here in the first quarter of 2012. We have a bit more development to finish first, but as we get closer to release we'll post a more precise date.


beginnerdjs 10-Mar-12 03:57 AM

When is this allegedly supposed to appear on the app store? What is taking so long? Is this one of those "vapor" ware apps that claim to be appearing in the app store but never ever show up?


WaveMachineLabs 08-Mar-12 04:44 PM

Auria will be only audio when it is first released, but we have MIDI and VSTi possibilities on our radar for future updates.


aikighost 06-Mar-12 12:02 PM

Nothing is said about a midi note editor so is this an audio only product? How about vstis?


aikighost 06-Mar-12 12:00 PM

You would of course have to acoustically treat your living room and install some serious monitors but yes in theory you could do pro level mixing on your couch!!!!

Personally I'll stick to the studio :)


Tmidiman 01-Mar-12 06:21 PM

So when is this being released? No the iPad does not need another dance music sequencer. And the iPad offers a nicer interface than the laptop for some applications. Also you don't worry about weather or nor you device has the power to handle the application.


aquasloth 29-Feb-12 11:17 AM

How close are you guys to a release?


bradleyrozvpmv62w 28-Feb-12 11:11 PM

How To Get A iphone4, I found out the answer. iy7B2X accuc.info


Inverted314 22-Feb-12 07:20 AM

Some people just don't understand. This and an "Apogee MIC" means you could make studio quality tracks anywhere. Edit on the COUCH! Yes, you can do that with a laptop, but there are some cool advantages. First, this setup is extremely portable and could be done essentially anywhere, and with 3G possible to create and post to the web from ANYWHERE. Secondly, A handheld device with no floor noise would be a lifesaver to someone recording by themselves... think about that last bit for a minute.


rossrayer 20-Feb-12 12:26 PM

this is DAW for making music???trance,dubstep and other???or only recording instruments??


MrArch3 15-Feb-12 04:01 PM

when does it come out????????


Knochenginni1 14-Feb-12 10:33 AM

I think as an iPad is mainly useful on the road, in a train in the park in the hotel and so on, and all of this places are not very useful recording surroundings it would have made much more sense to focus on a really good sequencer with vsti support and put audio as an extra. I dont see people using the ipad in a studio maybe it is a good device for recording something live...Still very impressive!


DubQWST 13-Feb-12 10:06 PM

Damnnnnn just give me that PSP channel-strip in vst form!!!! Pretty Please ;-)


gsvjv 08-Feb-12 04:08 AM

k simple question... when is it going to be available? As in an actual release date (not 1st Quarter... blah blah)


anthonyalves1 31-Jan-12 07:14 PM

if you watch the guy demoing it at the NAMM 2012 he actually mutes some of the tracks and solos the drums so yeah it is a 32 track recording not 48 but still very good and I dont think a new product is made to replace an old product its just a new product and certainly you dont have to change the way you record if it works for you.


FSK1138 29-Jan-12 06:02 PM

the video only shows me that the audio that your hearing is not live ... and 48 tracks can take up alot of space - what about undos - at what point is it just better to use a laptop or desktop

this is not a game changer just what pc/mac has been doing for the past 10 years
