Auria Pro is the most engineering-focused app here, built for recording and mixing real instruments. It is listed at $24.99 on the US App Store, which the developer notes is a 50% off Black Friday sale through November 30, so expect a higher price after that. The feature list includes unlimited audio and MIDI tracks and up to 24 tracks of simultaneous recording with a compatible interface, at 44.1, 48 or 96 kHz. Every channel carries a vintage-inspired PSPAudioware ChannelStrip with expander, multiband EQ and compressor, and the mix runs on a 64-bit double-precision engine with 8 subgroups and 6 aux sends. FabFilter Twin2 and One synths and the Lyra sample player, with a free 4GB library, cover instruments. Élastique Pro v3 warping, a piano roll and groove quantizing round it out. AAF import and export move whole sessions to Logic, Pro Tools or Nuendo. It is iPad only and has a steeper learning curve than the beat-focused apps.
