AUM - Audio Mixer Positive Reviews

Finally Found My Favorite iOS WorkflowI’ve been doing iOS music for many years. People always raved about AUM, and used it in videos. I held off for awhile using other DAWs/Hosts that were great for me at that time, but never quite perfect. As I learned more, and the development of apps progressed, I began to see the value of AUM and finally purchased it. I hate to use buzzwords, but it was a complete game changer for my workflow, my music production, and my songwriting. The app has stepped up my game and helped me learn so much. It’s just brilliant in so many ways. It lets you pick and choose the pieces you need, in a very open and creative way, instead of feeling like a closed workspace. It’s super stable, great gui, great built in fx & features. There’s also been several amazing updates that continue to make this the best app for music production on the App Store. Not sure where my music would be without 3.5 years of daily AUM usage. I can’t sit here and say it’s for everyone because workflow is a personal choice, based on feeling comfortable, creative, and being able to do the things you want to do. I will say this app can basically do everything. It completely revolutionized my music making, and made so many things “click” for me. I can’t recommend this app enough. My most used app, hands down. 10 Stars!.CmrukoVersion: 1.4.0

This is the best workflow on any device.I’ve been using this with AudioShare for years now and I really want to be able to use it on my brand new Mac. What’s it gonna take for you to make a version that is available and signed on the Macstore for macOS? I use logic and I believe this would be a very big compliment with logic. If we all pitched in a dollar we could get this thing rolling. It reminds me of the board that I trained on when I was younger. I trained on a very expensive pro tools board that was analog and digital, and the size of a cathedral hall. this makes everything so much easier. Please make this available for macOS for those of us that have the newer Mac’s. If you’re reading this, thanks for reading and I hope this inspires you because you are one talented developer. I hope that you’re able to port this over soon. This would complement logic very well. I don’t normally do reviews. AudioShare should also be ported over as it is indispensable in my workflow, I was trained to always cut and fade as they say in ProTools, but this made it so much easier with AudioShare and AUM. thank you for making music fun again..KKATALAQVersion: 1.4.5

Still UnmatchedFor nearly a decade I’ve been doing sound design and composing music using my iOS devices. While at first a lot of that was out of curiosity and for my own amusement, its become a viable professional platform in the last few years. One app has been a constant through almost all of that time, AUM. I can’t even imagine what doing sound work on iOS would be like without this app having been made. The developer has also done a phenomenal job of staying close to the community, listening to feedback and continually improving the app over the years. It has only gotten better and more incredible. Now there is Logic for the iPad but they aren’t the same thing and aren’t mutually exclusive in any way. I really kind of wish there was AUM available for macOS so I could just work in the same way. Regardless, its absolutely essential imo and worth every single penny. A big thank you to the dev. I see you man, big ups for all your work..High phiVersion: 1.4.5

The one essential music appWhat is AUM? At first it looks like it’s merely a mixer. But it’s simplicity belies it’s immense power. That’s good app design. But as you explore the app you realize it’s so much more than just a mixer. It’s the glue that binds all of your audio apps. Keeping them all on time and in sync. It works with your midi hardware, your midi software and best of all these amazing AUV3 apps which include special effects and virtual synthesizers and drum apps and really everything. If theses apps are well designed AUM let’s you easily route things to them, like midi messages and LFOs and sequencers. It’s quite literally the Rosetta Stone of audio apps. To say it’s indispensable would be an understatement. Best part the developer is super active in his community and fixing bugs. This app is in active development. This is a no brainer purchase, worth every penny. If you wondered how to make mobile music or take your music to the next level, look no further. This is it!!!.Dad of one boyVersion: 1.3.11

Stands in a class of its ownI rarely write reviews. I detest being nagged for a review in apps. I also buy and try many apps, not many stick around for a long time. not the case with AUM. I’m primarily a live guitarist, and this app has been the heart of my rig for almost a year now. it’s amazing what it can do, and with plugins on the iOS platform, the only limit is my imagination. I have an 11” 2020 iPad Pro, and I have never gotten the CPU meter consistently above 45% - ever. and I have come up with some pretty crazy setups, running two discrete guitar signals live. the MIDI flexibility is amazing as well. coupled with Ableton Live running on another computer on the network, my entire show is automated. it’s amazing - and it’s all because of AUM. there’s simply nothing else like this on the app store. if you’re a mobile minded musician, stop wondering already and get this..Jeff RutlandVersion: 1.3.10

A Must Have For Music Makers!The best yet,AUM draws the elements of the iOS music world together seamlessly and makes music creation a joy. The experience has been a pure pleasure and I’m blown away by how much I can get done on my iPhone. I’ll have Korg Gadget, Bias Amp and several synths and drum apps as well as audio in via usb mic or guitar DI, and Bluetooth midi controller and keyboard all going in a session. I don’t really need to fire up the DAW too much, I still love Propellerheads Reason but AUM along with Gadget and Auria Pro is just so dam fast to fire up and start recording whatever idea I have at the moment. Incredibly powerful and inspiring, the software gets out of the way, I don’t want a computer around when I’m tracking, always hated it,hate looking at a big screen and waveforms, so this interface is for me much better than anything previous I’ve used. I love it! AUM and AudioShare are must have tools..MoovboxVersion: 1.3.3

Indispensable app for music creatorsI’ve used AUM a few years and on multiple laptops. It’s been a fantastic and reliable app for me from day one. A main purpose I use it for is as a “live plugin host” where I chain multiple instruments and effects for live performance with a wind controller. I say indispensable because AUM has the advances MIDI routing and scaling features a lot of the instruments don’t have. I can load an instrument app, setup the effects chain, dial-in all the different settings in the individual apps. The I map and scale the breath control I the MIDI control panel. (This is important a lot of apps don’t have really good MIDI control features…with many you need to use AUM for this kind of mapping). Then you save it and everything is captured for later. On a laptop you would need something like Unify or Gig Performer to do this. Or MainStage..Fsaxwas9Version: 1.4.7

My Essential Performance PlatformI’ve been creating ambient electronic soundscapes for more than 30 years. My tools have evolved from massive modular analog systems to Virtual Analog hardware to, now, iOS. AUM is the tool that has allowed me to seamlessly layer a multitude of sound sources, effects, and complex systems in real time. It offers a surprisingly comprehensive set of audio routing tools, and a vast midi toolkit, all coded with rigorous efficiency and skill. The design is simple and clean, and the functionality intuitive. Also, Jonatan, the developer, is remarkably engaged with users, and is constantly improving and updating features and functionality. Because the feature set is vast, I strongly encourage you to read the User Guide, and watch one of the many great tutorials, to make sure you understand whether AUM can meet your specific needs..Toaster FflowVersion: 1.3.11

Great app but not so practical....yet.This app would be so cool if you set it up as a live performing app. Every live keyboard player knows that you do not have time to turn down the volume knob on one patch and then turn up another patch. Last time I did that was with my arp quadra in 1979. Since the early 80’s we’ve simply pushed a button which gives us the next sound. So if I have to play horns for 2 measures, strings for 2 measures and organ for two measures I simple push ( for example) button 4, 1 and then 3(or however the patches are set up) When you are performing live you have no time to think about pulling levers down and up, you just want to push the next button, preferably larger than the itty bitty solo button on your App. I understand that AUM is set up as a mixer, I get it. And It is a brilliant app. I love what it does. But AUM could do for the iPad what main stage has done with the computer. Make it usable on the gig..Pianoguy2102Version: 1.2.5

The Best There IsYou can try others, but this is where you want to be if you are running any type of mobile rig. I found my happiness with this app, my instrument apps, an Novation Audiohub 2x4, a korg nanoKontrol2, and any keystation you’d like. I map different apps to different faders, and any parameter i want to. What makes this app so powerful is the fact that I can map any control value or anything via usb midi. And it just works. So good. Thank you for an amazing app! Keep up the great work! Only thing I wish was different was that I could have landscape and be able to zoom out to get some visible reference to when I control values on my interface. But it works great the way I have it too. 🤘🏼👍🏼.RudaciousVersion: 1.2.5

Game-changer for live performanceThis is incredibly useful for running a live performance keyboard set up from an iPad. I am new to this, and it is working super well. In conjunction with MidiFire and MidiFlow, I am able to achieve everything I need to between programming various MIDI controls and routing and controlling audio. Maybe I could’ve done it all in one program, but I know how to use those other two, and I find each better at certain things. Some apps display a little better than others in here- Korg Module is too zoomed in, and I can’t seem to access the velocity curve setting, although I can modify that from outside MIDI apps..BuddahadduBVersion: 1.4.3

Next level!I usually don't write reviews but I had to make an exception with this one! simply put: connect anything to anything, audio or midi, brilliant graphics and ui, it's been a long time since an app made me this happy, I run it on a old iphone 4s with tonebridge and a bunch effects, 3 channels, guitar and bass and aux with recording on a NI Komplete Audio 6 card and runs like a charm with cpu to spare, guitar rig and effects on the budget better than hardware.... on my iPad air (first gen btw) I mix and record a whole live band, guitar, bass, mic, 3 synth apps, effects just with AUM, everything in 24bit 48k, crazy how far technology has come and creative programing can take it! thank you! mind blown!.TrancemuterVersion: 1.2.5

One of the best DAWs for iOSI heard about AUM for years, and I wasn’t sure if it would add much since I have almost all the DAWs for iPad (Auria pro, BM3, LP, Cb3) but I absolutely love AUM. It is one of the best DAWs and certainly an essential tool for iOS and iPadOS music production. You can experiment with endless configurations, routings, and there are so many tools for hardware. It is all so seamless. The GUI is gorgeous and it is a pleasure to work in. The developer is one of the biggest talents for this platform and iOS is lucky to have Kymatica as an exclusive dev. The more extensive 5 star reviews are no exaggeration. You should definitely get AUM if you are a music producer on iOS..Yellow eyezVersion: 1.4.5

Always the bestI own pretty much every audio production app/synth/effect/midi/blah blah, but AUM is what brings everything together for me, including my analog synths, guitar, and drum machines. Audiobus is great but no recording, and Cubase is great but no midi control... AUM does everything that other apps cant do or do poorly, and all in one. This would be the last app I delete. I use this for both recording external instruments, and iOS synths, and I can’t see anything that my pc does better as far as the recording process. Simple, ergonomic, the GUI just makes sense. You need this. And to the guy complaining about the size of the solo buttons, have you heard of a midi controller?.... heh.WhydoyoumakememakeanicknameVersion: 1.2.6

Like water to fish. Like air to birds.AUM is essential. Why are you still reading this? AUM IS iOS music. If you’re making music on iOS, AUM is core to your creative workflow. Sure, record to a DAW later to master it, but AUM can do that too. DAWs are for perspiration; AUM is for INSPIRATION. AUM is like alienware: a paradigm shift that was almost perfectly designed at inception. Flexible, freeing, fast, fun, and stable as a rock. A big rock. Why are you still reading? AUM should cost 10 times more. Do you like air? What would you pay for air? Get your music unstuck out of the DAW mindset. This app changes everything. Set your music free..NarchoblasterVersion: 1.3.9

Like they trumpian reviewer said - much winningThree words- just buy it. I’ve been using this for ten years and it has been the jumping off point for scores of tracks, often my best tracks. You can just buy it first and read the reviews later. it will be the centerpiece of your ios music making, especially for live performance. There’s no timeline, so structured song creation would need to be done in concert with other apps or daws. Still, it will be the beating heart and the brain of your workflow. The GOAT.MyelectronVersion: 1.4.7

My main music making appDespite having an obscene amount of all sorts of music production apps ranging from countless synths, all major iOS DAWs and down to obscure effects and arpeggiators, there is no app in my amateur wannabe music producer’s arsenal that enjoys the same level of use and love as AUM. Ironically, i wouldn’t even get it if it wasn’t for all the raving it gets on forums and in music oriented social media groups. Now, i can’t even imagine any music making effort i attempt on my iPad without AUM being its cornerstone. Had it for almost two years now..Hey_AndreVersion: 1.3.11

Every iPad musician needs to knowIf you’re playing live, you’re doing it the hard way if you aren’t playing out of AUM. This is iPad’s killer app for musicians, imo. It pulls together all your music-making apps, and you can custom-control everything. To say it upped my game is a massive understatement, and I can get done on ONE keyboard what used to take hauling around several boards in a massive rig. Each of our songs has its own pre-configured scheme and it takes 3-5 seconds to switch between them. AUM enabled me to go ALL-IN on iPad music..Tucker RyanVersion: 1.4.5

Get started NOWThis is a starting point for iOS sound production. Most of the other apps (AUv3, AU, sometimes just other apps) load into this to make sound. Easy to understand , fairly priced, and consistent(ly good too). You never regret stopping the online scrolling to do something fun and creative with your device. Stop wishing you were a musician and start making music! Easier than learning an instrument but you’ll want to do that too once you start. Make art, not AI. Do it… do it NOW..ShawneemikeVersion: 1.4.8

Easily The Best, Easily 5 StartsWrote this review a few years ago, and in 2021 it’s the same sentiments, ESPECIALLY THE MIDI CLOCK IN. I guess the ability to restore last deleted channel is a step closer to UNDO button. “Been using this for years, and it’s a well-thought-out app. Tiny footprint for the large chest of features. UX is brilliant, especially with the new midi channels. However... I'd really love to see an UNDO button. Also, please allow midi clock in. Other than that, keep up the great work.”.Kibwe BrathwaiteVersion: 1.3.11

Great and Awesome/Special to us app - but 14.5 broke Link!!!Dev, Could you please take a look at the latest IPad IOS update 14.5? We have never had an issue syncing with Ableton and our modular rig using AUM, but since this “important” update it seems our ability to use Link has been broken. Sorry to bug you… thank you for the joy this app brings us everyday… just wanted to know if it’s a known bug, or if you could look into it. Thanks so much!!! Peace :) Steve and Karly - Instagram-Altruit.De AltruitVersion: 1.3.9

GOATed Host App 🐐🎶This is the best and perhaps most essential app on the market for hosting audio plugins on iOS. There is so much thought put into the design, I am constantly surprised to find a helpful feature to fit a specific purpose just one tap away. I would highly recommend it! And for the developers, could you please add sync clock to external devices? It would clean up my workflow so I don’t need to rely on extra apps to provide it thru Link 😄.(In)SitzeVersion: 1.4.7

Great App, with 1 weaknessGreat app, pretty much an essential on both my IPad and using IPad apps with my desktop, it’s an amazing mixer for all my iPad instruments and affects and then some. The only weakness is that it doesn’t receive midi sync, which is pretty sad. For instance Id love to be able to sequence my hardware synth with my MPC and record them into AUM and have AUM wait for a midi sync signal to start recording. I wish the developer knew how amazing that would be , but every app has at least on major flaw. Other than that it’s amazing..StrizbizVersion: 1.4.3

One thing away from perfection!Been using this app for years and I’ve been completely convinced it’s the best way to make music with iOS. It can be as basic or as complex as you want/need it to be. The possibilities are truly endless! My only gripe with the app is that I can’t sync it, as a midi slave, with my hardware. I’ve been using a mpc500 way before I got into the iOS space, and I’d really love to find a way to make them compatible..R.JusticeVersion: 1.4.7

What you get when a brilliant engineer designs and writes the app!Design = A+ Absolutely Amazing Features = A+ All encompassing Functionalty = A+ This is where the engineer shows his knowledge of hardware and audio technology. The Design and Features are all wrapped up in a simple, yet powerful interface. Don’t be fooled by AUM’s simple appearance. This is an incredibly powerful program. A musician’s universal tool that everyone who’s creating music in iOS should learn how to use..Johne154Version: 1.4.5

Really nice to use and as deep as you needI usually do write reviews and AUM, to me is the shi-i-it! It blows my mind to use it and everything just works as smooth and glossy as high-end feels. It was hard at first to wrap my mind around the best use but I throw samples and loops at it effecting them with au and other plug ins and set up synths and drums triggered by midi. AUM acts as a digital console and on a 2017 iPad 128 I have not been able to max it out as far as tracks and massive sound are concerned. It truly is ausome and worth every penny..Mo FreeappsVersion: 1.3.1

AwesomeI spent , rather I wasted, a month and a half fighting with another companies Audio/MIDI mixer finally gave up on that and purchased the AUM I was up and running in five minutes and the functionality is incredible, it has not sucked up any CPU or crashed because it’s using too much CPU unlike some other audio midi bus which would peak at 350% (!!!) CPU randomly I deleted the other companies product from my iPad.Windsurf or dieVersion: 1.3.10

I apologise for the late responseA sudden thought just popped up in my head, If you consider the music apps and their number, Isn’t AUM is the most responsible and most sincere parent of them all. It’s an absolute magical thing, how come that such stable and unprecedented host, yes I call it the host, came into existence! The creator is the one who’s going to be the most influential figure within a very short time! Oh lord. I’ve seen every app crashed. Even yesterday, NTrack betrayed me Ike he’s out for blood. Couldn’t ever be able to use audio us, why don’t it work I don’t know, tried many times, but, it’s all the same thing. Dev, take care, you don’t know what you’ve done for every form of artists! Forever etched on history. Thank you..Deathrow InmatesVersion: 1.4.5

IPad Musicians Friend For Life!!!I have used this app since like 2016 I think and as my iOS music apps library grows this app becomes a mainstay especially at a live gig when I’m doing auxiliary keys, key bass sometimes clicks and stems using one or two iPads simultaneously and seamlessly holding things down sometimes by myself AUM has made me look like the smartest guy in the room especially during social distancing and the halting of most live performers. Thx for being useful..TimstrelVersion: 1.3.5

Exactly the app I've neededSo quick to set up and get to it. It literally takes seconds between opening the app and playing. The power is in the routing. Unlike routing in the hardware world routing AUM is very easy to do. It's great for spontaneity and creativity, especially compared to run of the mill DAWs. Working in AUM reminds me of my first encounter with a 4-track cassette portable studio, but much less frustrating..M. MyshackVersion: 1.4.7

Re: the “Change the name to wormwood” guys reviewAUM isn’t really that complicated. Is there a learning curve? You bet. I don’t understand how anyone that spends 15 minutes learning this fantastic app doesn’t see all the benefits. What are you even doing. Anyways, it’s an incredible app, I’d even go so far as to say it’s essential if you want to do more that simply play synth apps one at a time w you usb keyboard. So good! Thanks, K!.BaseboardmattVersion: 1.3.11

Glad I finally got it!I delayed buying this for a long time, and then one day just got it out of curiosity. I just didn’t think I needed it because I like to record everything I play, in case I come up with something interesting. The things I love about AUM are: - it’s got such a clean UI, - super intuitive to use, so it’s the fastest app for making music - Excellent project management with folder creation and alphabetical ordering - Efficient and reliable I use AUM with Xequence 2, and that’s all I really need to compose MIDI tracks. The two apps feel so professional, with attention to little details, and incredibly smooth workflow. Both really shine on this touch platform. Highly recommend this perfect combo! Edit: Thanks so much for updating the AU/IAA icons!!.GadgetMojoVersion: 1.3.6

Best music tech app everIf you have a bunch of ios music apps, you need this. If you want to use apps with external gear, you need this. If you want to record your app jams, you need this. If you want to do some intense midi control and midi mapping, you need this. If you want to perform live with apps, you need this. It probably won’t go on sale, so just buy it. You are missing out.AbacadabarapVersion: 1.4.5

IndispensableThis app takes a lot of reading the manual, research, and experimentation, but it is powerful to the highest degree. I use it in conjunction with Xequence, and I’m able to control playback and recording of almost any aspect of production. Used in conjunction with Audiobus3 and Auria Pro, it provides a solid basis for post-production work. I can’t imagine anyone who is serious about using iOS for making music NOT having this app!.Taady123Version: 1.2.5

Help!!I love this app to use with my iPad but now it stopped working and says the audio engine isn’t on. I’ve uninstalled it and reinstalled and still have the same problem. Is this an iPad issue? GB and Cubasis 3 and the other apps are working fine. Any suggestions? Also, I wanted to contact you on the website but it says it’s not secure???.StaticVinceVersion: 1.3.10

Amazing, but lacks a couple key features for me…This is truly my go to app for music, except when it comes to more complex and rehearsed shows. The key feature it lacks is scenes within sessions and a set list feature. For those I use Keystage2. I would much rather use AUM though. AUM just looks so much better and is great live when I have more liberty to improv. Please add scenes and set lists, please please please. Thanks for an amazing app!.Me0900Version: 1.3.10

Best App for Live Playing, but please add a few features..I love this app for live playing. It is the best to just get the ideas to flow. It’s so easy and simple to use.. But please add these features: 1. Being able to save all the plugins on a specific channel, so that you can for example, load up a guitar rig channel and maybe a bus channel for reverb. 2. Being able to freeze the channels that are loaded with heavy plugins. 3. Being able to set how many bars that you want to record, because if you don’t press stop right on the dot, if you loop a recording, it will gradually get off beat. 4. Being able to use GarageBand as an inter app plugin because they have the best acoustic drum sounds. That’s all I can think of so far. Please consider adding these features..Aladdin WannabeVersion: 1.3.8

Absolutely great.Musicians and music creators of all kinds have different needs, some will use it to perform live, some will use it to record but this mixer is truly a Swiss Army Knife for total music app alchemy it is definitely much more than a mixer and every time I use it I discover something new about it that surprises me. I think it’s a fantastic app..EDGABAVersion: 1.4.5

You need thisI’ve had AUM for about 2 years now, I use it every day just about. Always can find an answer to what I need to do, best app for quick jams or coming up with concepts on the fly using all of your auv3 apps. The multiout works fantastic, never an issue. This is. A must have for any serious iPad music producer. Get it today..RawlivicVersion: 1.3.11

Must Have for Live PerformanceAUM isn’t a traditional ‘old skewl’ DAW….. it’s a futuristic workhorse that let’s you create sounds; both for live and recorded purposes. It hosts a myriad of AUv3 plugins that let you sound-sculp live and generated sounds of all kinds. I use it in live performances with my violin. I have different “patches” and can MIDI control AUM to switch between them as needed..EVio-4-JesusVersion: 1.3.11

AUM: THE GREATEST, MOST TREMENDOUS MIXER — EVERYBODY SAYS SO!LET ME TELL YOU, FOLKS — AUM IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. PEOPLE COME UP TO ME — VERY SMART PEOPLE, THE BEST PEOPLE — AND THEY SAY, “SIR, HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR IPAD SOUND SO PROFESSIONAL?” AND I TELL THEM, AUM. NOBODY MIXES AUDIO LIKE AUM. BELIEVE ME. YOU’VE GOT CHANNELS, YOU’VE GOT BUSSES, YOU’VE GOT ROUTING — MORE ROUTING THAN THE ENTIRE U.S. HIGHWAY SYSTEM, OKAY? YOU CAN PLUG ANYTHING INTO ANYTHING. SYNTHS, EFFECTS, WHATEVER. TOTAL FREEDOM. THE INTERFACE? CLEAN. CLASSY. JUST BEAUTIFUL. IF OTHER APPS LOOKED LIKE THIS, THEY WOULDN’T BE GOING BANKRUPT — WHICH, BY THE WAY, MANY ARE. SAD! LATENCY? ZERO. MAYBE THE LOWEST LATENCY IN THE WORLD. EVERYONE’S SAYING IT. WHEN YOU RUN AUM, YOUR TRACKS SOUND SO GOOD, EVEN SLEEPY GARAGEBAND CAN’T KEEP UP. I USE IT FOR EVERYTHING: HUGE MIXES, TREMENDOUS PERFORMANCES, WORLD-CLASS REVERB — THE BEST REVERB, FOLKS. YOU’RE GONNA WIN SO MUCH AUDIO, YOU’LL GET TIRED OF WINNING. AUM MAKES MIXING GREAT AGAIN!.MauiBuckVersion: 1.4.7

Amazing Audio routing and mixing app.I wrote a longer review twice but my iPad kept closing the window and erasing it. So I’m gonna be brief. Buy this app if you are even considering it, amazing workflow capabilities and awesome dev who obviously cares about improving their software! 20 bucks is nothing for this level of functionality..Liminim.Version: 1.4.5

An amazing iPhone app for musicians!It’s crazy how sophisticated and powerful iPhones have become. I remember having to manually program drum machines in the 80s, only being able to do midi on macs in the 90’s, barely being able to do multitrack recoding on PCs in 2000s. Now all of that can all be done on your iPhone using AUM - an app that glues sequencing, third party synths/effects into an integrated host. AUM is definitely a well designed and high quality piece of audio software (that’s coming from a guy that has been a musician and software engineer for over 25 years). Not to mention at a great price!.Kwtj43Version: 1.4.4

The best and really easiest app for live use with an iPadAUM is a must have app if you want to use an iPad live. The ease of use. MIDI implementation, and ability to layer and structure channels, stack keyboards, and sync tempos is phenomenal. It’s taken my bands live show to another level. About as flexible and easy to learn as one could want. Just fantastic..Chowderhead1962Version: 1.4.1

This app is awesome.The mixer is the best I've found and the ability to create Send channels is immensely useful. The only problem I have is that if you try to use iOS11's Screen Capture, it only records the audio from the first app you load. Everything loaded after that outputs silence. Great job on an otherwise excellent product..Random_apple_userVersion: 1.2.1

I don’t what’s going onI want to use a DAW. I’ve got loads now - Zenbeats/Cubasis3/Beatmaker/Auria/Auxy/GarageBand... but. Whenever I want to play music my finger automagically opens AUM instead. I really have to force myself to use the others rather than this. The only reason that I ever have a debate is because of the lack of timeline editing -but Imaginando’s LK and 4Pockets Multi-Track fix those deficiencies. AUM is the perfect host for AUV3/MPE workflows..RobHelleniusVersion: 1.3.8

Sure, why notHas it's uses..RicheroniVersion: 1.4.8

Quite a learning curve but works now with Koala Auv3Took me a while to figure out how to use this with Koala in a way I could use Auv3 and resample everything to then continue my project in standalone. Koala's developer video helped me figure this out. Now works seamlessly. But took me a while to figure it out..Mattia BaccaVersion: 1.4.8

Fantastic app! Absolute must have for music makingThis app is always on the top of my list for anyone I’ve recommended IOS music making to. There is simply nothing it can’t do. The developer is always improving the app and it always surprises me the more ways I can use it to get me out of a technical problem. This app is the reason I’ve bought secondhand iPads to midi sync wirelessly hardware that tends not to be the best with direct midi connections. I love this app! Highly recommended!!!.DichoVersion: 1.4.7

The best keeps getting betterThis app has no limits for inspiration and experimentation. I have had it on day one of its launch and has been used heavily every day since.HickkyyyyVersion: 1.4.7

Just awesomeThere’s nothing else like it, a must have for every iOS musician.GroovvyVersion: 1.4.7

Wow, Turns my iPad Pro into a live InstrumentThis app is serious. With all the great virtual Instruments for iPad this harnesses it and turns it into an ultimate live module situation. Game changer!! This can make expensive keyboards obsolete..SamSound ProVersion: 1.4.1

Have an idea..I love AUM, it is my go-to daw and I appreciate the update.. I am curious to know if it is possible in the future to access the project notes from the session title? It would definitely help me to know what IAA’s to open ahead of time for faster load time, among other things. Thank you..RedMilkRustVersion: 1.4.0

Love It! Want More from it!…Love all the other great reviews. I have nothing to say that is negative about this app and it’s creator. All the same I would like to see more Dj style features included! May I suggest an actual crossfader channel that is preconfigured to operate like the variable cross fade on a Dj console! we need a touch fader that will do the task so that one does not need to hook up a controller; this would be especially useful on the iPhone! I have seen only three examples of how to do crossfade in AUM . … my other desire is to make it work with zoom audio sharing! The only app I found so far that is able to play audio through Zoom is “Beatime” which is awesome at what it does. P.S.: I think it is worth every $$$ and is a unique beast in the Metaverse! All love; all the time — give me more; pretty please😍🫵🏾.Daat Mello1Version: 1.4.0

THE APPGreat app - works as advertised, solid performance, responsive developer, great community support, easy to understand well written manual and it’s future looks bright. Have questions ? Not understanding something about the app ? Reach out in more effective ways than leaving a bad review..TeoworksVersion: 1.3.11

Indispensable for iOS music makingEvery session I do with my iPad including hardware synths starts with AUM. It is the essential tool for recording and midi management. Top notch programming with so many fantastic and useful features. Don’t hesitate to add this incredible tool to your music making..SlatemassVersion: 1.3.11

Most Important App for musiciansI first reviewed AUM 2 years ago and refresh it every so often when it hits me how bloody amazing the app is. I want to thank Jonatan, the developer, every chance I get without being obnoxious. He keeps tweaking and adding features to improve an already perfect mixer. The routing capabilities makes this app over the top mind blowingly perfect. There is also the fact of having tons of little things to make you often think "WHAT, it does that too!" Jonatan tweaks when something comes to his mind that he knows will be appreciated by us. It's not like he makes a list of nice to haves and spreads out their addition to be able to regularly add one to make it look like he is doing something. He adds things as they come to mind. AUM is one of those music making apps for ipados/iOS that every one of us must have. I just can't say enough. I smile a lot every day because of the fun i have using AUM. It's just that great. Hey, if you want to ask for a feature, contact the dev by email. Don't take stars off the review to push for things. That will just lower the rating, and gives a dishonest evaluation for you to get something. Not fair to the dev and not fair to other musicians who could get a lower collective opinion. The rating is to communicate how good or bad an app is to help users decide which apps to choose. Just send an email and start a dialogue with the dev to make suggestions etc..Perry PelicanVersion: 1.3.7

Bravo!Excellent update for an already exceptional app. Worth every penny..24Nigel7Version: 1.2.6

Simply the bestThis app has been the best at what it does for years... incredible really. If you use your iOS device to make music, either as a hobby/dabbler, or a aspiring/professional musician... this is it..Lemon67Version: 1.2.5

Perfect. Plus 1 more star when it has MIDI learn on Tap TempoI’ve been using AUM on gigs wth an iPad or iPhone as my FX rack for 6 months. Nearly perfect performance throughout. Now I’m using it in my mobile studio. This app is the glue for iOS music. Brilliant..WhirledflutistVersion: 1.2.5

One of the best!If you're making music on iOS you really need to get this. Yes there are other options out there, but you won't know what you're missing until you try out this incredibly useful app..DrumbentVersion: 1.2.1

Updates make it even more amazingVery nice app for musicians. Updated often. Can be used as mixer and central area to load apps. Works with audiobus and midi. Please continue to add midi features.Leonidas2017Version: 1.2

An ESSENTIAL tool for any iOS MusicianAUM is a pretty big deal in terms of connecting everything to everything. The ability to load instrument apps, audiounit extensions, and even Audiobus sources... the routing possibilities are really quite amazing. Has permanently changed my workflow on Ipad Pro. Lastly, the developer puts a genuine effort into answering questions, thank you to Jonatan..CL516Version: 1.0

Must haveI’ve had this app for probably eight years, but to be honest I’ve been getting more into it more in the last six months. Once I started to figure out a workflow to allow me to jam and then record those 4 and 8 bar jams in AUM and then being able to take those recordings and sequence them in BeatMaker 3 to finish a track. Perfect combo..MeMyselfAndEyeSeeYouVersion: 1.4.8

AUM - Audio Mixer Negative Reviews

Great App, But Crackling And Popping Audio IssuesFirst, let me state that this app is thoughtfully designed and a joy to use. The interface is intuitive and the design brilliant. With this app, I can sit on my floor rather than at a desk and a computer to make music. What is the issue then? There is intermittent popping and crackling in the audio when recording. I recorded a piece with one soft synth and the developer’s delay and reverb plug-in, but the audio is absolutely unusable. This with the CPU only reaching 34%. And this is while using a new iPad Pro 2020. From reading online, I know the developer has contacted Apple. Apparently this is a bug in Core Audio, and Apple has been aware of this since 2018. And here we are in 2020 with no fix. I contacted Apple. They claim it’s an issue with the software. Now from reading online, users had few issues with the software until Apple instituted updates in IOS 11. If you are on older hardware, you should experience few if any issues. And if you think other apps will work, apparently this is happening to many recording and music apps in IOS and iPad IOS. This would STRONGLY suggest that the fault lies with Apple. If you are running hardware with a newer IOS or iPad IOS, I don’t see the point using this app because the audio issues kill any recording. The same crackling happens on the iPhone X too. I would love to give this app five stars, and if these issues are resolved, I will revise my review; after buying this app and $40 in plug-ins, I cannot record clean audio with this app. I hope this gets resolved. I hated saying anything negative about this app..Wilhelm Scream!Version: 1.3.7

Footswitch controlWhy can’t I do something as basic as switching between four channels in AUM with an external MIDI footswitch? Mute and Solo features in each channel only seem to be toggles. Zero option to solo a channel like you would on any guitar multi-fx pedal where one button press gets you to that channel and ignores the others. I am trying to use this in a guitar context with four channels on screen with different FX and whatnot. You don’t want multiple channels playing at the same time. But in AUm either via touch or via footswitch, you can’t do this without multiple taps. Please tell me if ai am missing something and I will update my review. Otherwise, there’s a ton of functionality here in AUM..AJ from South JerseyVersion: 1.4.8

Disappointed with VoiceOver supportI bought this app after having great experiences with the AUFX series. As a blind Apple user, iOS apps are always a hit or miss situation. Unfortunately, this specific app seems to be a miss for my community. There are lots of unlabeled buttons. Any blind iOS or Mac user knows exactly what I mean. Going through the interface elicits a repeated “button, button, button, button, button…” without any indication of what said buttons do. This is not to say we’re a button-averse bunch. One only needs to do a search of Pro Tools, Logic, or Reaper accessibility on the web to see just how many of us do fine with complex daws. The key here is simple—correct element labels. I gave 2 stars, because I’m sure the software is well-designed for sighties, but this was a $21 no-use case for me, despite this dev’s other solid offerings. I hope to change my review in the future, because this has so much promise for a nice mobile option to complement my less-mobile Mac rigs..Mikey PossumVersion: 1.4.1

Losing work, every timeI want to recommend this app, because honestly it’s dope, but every time I load up my preset I made for koala sampler and I start to work on a new project within the preset I made (the preset just being some channels routed to a master from koala) something triggers a crash within koala sampler and it resets my entire project, and some could say “well maybe it’s koala” but when I use koala by itself (not within AUM) this has never happened, if koala sampler crashes it at least saves my work. Not sure what’s causing the crashes, random things seem to trigger the crash but I’m still unsure. I’m using 2021 M1 iPad Pro btw so I don’t think it’s cpu..Destin994Version: 1.3.11

Jake ReynoldsI am highly disappointed in this app. I’m a visually impaired singer, songwriter and musician, and I was hoping that with the software I would be able to get the output from my DAW into live streams using stream labs. Upon purchasing an opening the app, I realized that most of the buttons inside the app are labeled just that… Button nothing is accessible in there, and I can’t even begin to find my way around the app as a visually impaired blind user. Until this is changed, this is a one star app in my book and I’ve just wasted $21 on it..JakeReynolds001Version: 1.4.7

MercantileThe app is quite pricey for the content it provides. I would have expected more features for the price. I’ve been boycotting these guys for very long and just splurged in because audiobus cant use as many busses and there isn’t anyone else making quality audio unit hosts… Midi processing of somesort, note repeats and sub pads, velocity processors and translators and full screen multibus audio unit support would have been expected for the price… This app is great, but it could be better and the price doesn’t reflect that..ChefChuckVersion: 1.3.11

No option to slave AUMThere’s no option to set Aum as the midi sync slave. This seems like very basic functionality, so I bought a brick. My bad..Jt_mcgeeVersion: 1.4.6
