AutoPad — Ambient Pad Loops Positive Reviews

“Live” Tab is quirky!The best thing about this App is that if you upload a pad in a particular key - you identify what key it is, and AutoPad will adjust that particular key you uploaded to fit the other 11 keys, if you want to toggle them. Very handy! The click track is awesome, however, I don’t see how I could use it in a live setting in my ears, if the pad is also being use live… literally no one else wants to hear the click. This program over is really good for basic pad needs, but definitely not perfect. As far as workflow goes, I have found that it is best to upload all your downloaded pads in the “Live” tab, then after that - it is best to essentially ignore the “Live” tab. Move over to the “Set List” and create your songs. In the set list, the user can actually see what particular Pad sound & key is assigned to each song. Seeing the pad file selected for each song is extremely helpful, because you cannot see the pad file selected in the “Live” tab. I have played around with this quite a bit over the past few days. The “Live” tab is really really quirky. In “Live” I really don’t like how you can select multiple pads for each key, and even when you deselect one, and enable another pad - the sounds sometime don’t change - even if you turn the pad on and off. It drives me nuts! Overall, now that I have figured out how to use the app in a fairly robust way, I plan on using it a lot now. Just bummed it isn’t perfect, but hey, what is?!.WWTK2012Version: 1.9.1

This is the oneI switched over to this from Multitracks. This app does all the right things. Nice big buttons if you just want a simple layout for ambient pads, or build an actual set list with the ability to specify the metronome tempo, the key, and the specific type of pad for each song. You can import custom pads, which I did because I had some that I had purchased from Multitracks, but I don’t use them because the supplied AP pads are actually better. A small and overlooked feature that I appreciate is that when going from one song to the next, this app lines the click tracks up with one another (unlike Multitracks), which is helpful if you do a key or time change in the middle of a song and you need to keep the metronome going. One missing feature I would love is the ability to save individual songs instead of just the set lists, that way I can just build each song in once and then build my set list quickly each week by selecting songs from my song library..Christian from CalvaryVersion: 1.10.2

No longer saves settings???Sooo I love this app I’ve been using it for about 3 years but I can not figure out why my settings are no longer saving I used to be able to keep my volume down my cross fade all the way up and everything the way I needed it but lately it’s been resetting to default settings everytime I close the app with only the pad I chose but not the settings please fix this I LOVE this app and recommend it to all my friends but this little thing is such an amazing feature that makes it even more customizable to each person please fix or bring back! 😓 I hate going in to the app and the volume being at full instead of where I left it.Renealex_726Version: 1.8.5

Great for limited useI found this great for intros but if I kept it on for the whole song, it would just start to feel like a hypnosis or constant feedback somewhere. Features I would like to see: Ability to set a timer for how long a single pad to play. Allow user to create layers of timed pads. Create a “Scene” - combined with the timer and layer feature. This allows the user to combine multiple recorded or timed notes for intro pads, verse and chorus pads etc. ‘Tap’ for tempo. Simple explanation... if you have someone else running the pads the ability to match the tempo by navigating to a tempo tab with a big round circle or something to tap on would be great. This feature should be real time adjustment because most changes a user makes with the current version, you have to stop the pad and restart it. Texture pads - sometimes I like to add a small bit of nighttime noises to make it feel like we’re out under the stars (like David Crowder Band - I need words); I also like the crackling of a fire (Any song from Rend Collective’s Campfire album); and even a ticking clock (You can barely hear this in the song Only Hope by Switchfoot). A lot of the functionality aspects I am suggesting are included in iReal Pro but the advantage I see for AutoPad is the ability to distill these suggested features down to fit AutoPads target audience..AnaunnyMooseVersion: 1.7

Set List IdeaThis app is exactly what our church needs and may God bless its creators! I have two ideas for the set list interface: 1 It saves set lists, so it would be great if you could move songs throughout the different lists saved or add a song already included in a list to one that you’re currently creating. 2 Some context: I’m the drummer and am controlling this app. When we complete the first song, we have announcements and such before we continue with the other songs. It would be nice to switch to the next song without hearing the click while also listening to the announcements or speakers. There are also times where we may want to the click before the pad is introduced. I think two buttons across the bottom of each song - one for “click only” and one for “pad only” would give us the freedom to pick; we can have the click introduced first before the pads, have the pads without the click when needed, and then just touch the applicable song name to have the both play. Just some things that might be useful to others as well. Otherwise, this app is a great find for us!.Kevin Wayne BergerVersion: 1.10.2

Great Foundation, Needs more DevelopmentSome huge pros: • the app is STABLE, no crashing, audio is seamless, even when switching between apps • it's straightforward in its layout, which is a big plus when working on stage Honestly seeing that this is v1 makes me extremely excited for what it could become. Autopad already is set to be one of the most useful tools in my arsenal. A couple of recommendations: • add volume control within the app: pads are a bit quiet compared to other apps like Bebot and GarageBand • add minor chords • create a way to cycle through a setlist, allow users to create their own grid with what they will need EDIT: • also definitely create a way to mess with some of the Pad timbres, such as add more motion or movement, swells, brighten/dampen with low pass filters, etc. I showed a friend of mine this, and we both agreed it's a great start. It's just the tones, although they're well designed, are rather plane without any kind of background melodic movement like synth swells and chorusy delay/verb chains..Pro CCM KeyboardistVersion: 1.0

Best one I tried!I trialed a couple of different pad apps on my iPad before deciding on this one for our church services. The included and optional pad sounds are outstanding and the ability to import pads from other sources is totally great! I especially appreciate the ability to edit sounds used for a song once it’s in a set list as well as the ability to drag and drop songs to a different slot in a set list if you want to change the order once the list is built. This seemed to be the one app that does EVERYTHING I could need or want. I have deleted all others. Thanks Ryan!.Joe FillmVersion: 1.10.2

Great pad for worship & Much moreJust get it if you’re on the fence. Maybe you’re like me and won’t use it every day…but when I need it on the fly, I am sooo glad I have it. One-click, and I have a pad running…It’s the best simple, reliable, and good-sounding stock Pad sound app that I’ve had. And it keeps getting updates. Fantastic. I’m a huge fan of the click options and am likely to use the MIDI options in the near future! It even has an option to change the tuning frequencies; I like playing around with 432 hz personally. Easily 5-Stars! Props to the developer 🙌.CalvinonaipVersion: 1.10.2

Good Start!Great idea for an app! A cool future feature would be to have the ability to blend in additional intervals (2nds, 5ths, 7ths). Having the ability to fade those intervals in and out would give this so much more character and make it a more musical tool. I found that I can tap two pads at the same time—sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't. However, fading in specific intervals would be better. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you come up with..DpodsterVersion: 1.5

Minor difficultiesI love the app, the sounds are good, the pan allows us to have click in the in-ears and not in FOH, and the menus & settings are easy to navigate. However, we’ve used this app now for two rehearsals and one church service, and the app has crashed twice, luckily only during the rehearsals. Seems like it might be a little unstable, and it would be SUPER nice to have different tones for the click other than the ice-pick-to-the-brain sound. It’s a bit painful when there’s only the click coming through in your ears and it’s too easily drowned out by the rest of the band. Otherwise the app is great, and I’m happy with the purchase..BallpearerVersion: 1.7.2

Fantastic app for pad and click!Been using the app for a couple of years now and I absolutely love it. I use it on my iPhone, make a setlist, and have it going to two channels on my church’s mixer. One for click/pad and one just for pad. Has great pad sounds (dark analog is my favorite) and the click works perfectly. Also, their customer service/support is top notch. I got a very helpful response from them when I had a click issue. Definitely recommend this app!.EsteeNieves12345Version: 1.8.6

Great, Simple AppI've been using Auto Pad with my Church's praise band for over 2 years now, and I've been very satisfied with it. The main pad screen is great. I'm glad they finally added a better set-list feature. One suggestion I have would be more comprehensive Set List management. Perhaps a copy-list feature, or something where I could maintain a matter list of songs, then create a sub-list from that for a given week's set..Roxas1991Version: 1.8.6

We love it and use it weeklyWe’ve been using this app on Sunday mornings for a few months. Overall, we’re very happy with what it allows us to do. The simple interface making changing keys and sounds an effortless task, which is hugely important when we’re playing live music. I can keep strumming and singing and quickly adjust the pad. Awesome. Our only critique is that we wish minor keys were available. This would make it a 5-star app for us!.A runner guyVersion: 1.7

Functional and great idea with room for improvementThis app has been a lifesaver for weeks when a live keys player is not available. It helps keep the band glued together especially during transitions and underscore moments. A few suggestions for improvement: **An in-app volume control - it's cumbersome in a live setting to adjust the volume using the iPad volume button. Would be much better to have a volume slider or knob in the interface itself. **As far as I know it's not possible to have this run in stereo. An option for stereo would be helpful. **Clearer visual cue if the pad is fired--Right now it's really difficult to tell visually if the pad is fired--it's only a faint outline around the key selected. Maybe if the whole button is lit up in a different color would be helpful? Overall, good app. A few tweaks here and there would make it really stellar!.SugarmellieVersion: 1.0

Fantastic start!Really love this app. Great combination of pad sounds and easy functionality. Two suggestions: 1. Add a playlist function to be able to go from pad to pad based on the music set. 2. It’s really tough on the fly to get to the menu to change pad sounds as I move from song to song. Is it possible to create the interface in such a way that the pad sounds are available at the top as their own buttons?.UnseeneternityVersion: 1.3

Great app missing one featureThis app is absolutely amazing love every bit of it! But it’s missing one feature, PANNING if there was that feature to be able to send audio all the way to the left or right side would be incredible!! Please add this cause this app is so awesome it just needs that’s one thing!.Noahallen18Version: 1.5

Grainscapes pads do not download correctly!Charged twice for grainscapes pads. Program doesn’t download correct pad purchased. Every time the software downloads the bonus pad sounds instead of the grainscapes pads. The bonus pads are free. Problem was taken care of and was able to download correct pads..LaptopmommyVersion: 1.10.2

Great appThis app is so perfect, especially for acoustic sets. A lot of the reviews I’ve read have said some things that really don’t make sense to me. (I.e. minor keys, sounding too hypnotic) they are relying too much on this AutoPad. It really is just a filler to help fill in sound, which is does perfectly. We use it every week at church and it’s been a lifesaver. Great job on the app!.ParkopeeVersion: 1.7.1

Great great app!I love this and use it mostly every Sunday at church! Different sounds (and the packs aren't expensive) I recommend this to anyone needing a pad sound. The only thing I would add is a companion app for the Apple Watch. It'd be great to switch between pads or sounds etc without needing the phone next to me. Other than that, nothing but posivites to say..KomobaboVersion: 1.8.5

Great developer, Great productI had an issue with the app not connecting to my Bluetooth speaker and crashing. Within a day of my previous review the developer contacted me and updated the app. This is awesome! Thank you for creating such a great product and caring so deeply about your customer’s purchase. May God continue to bless you in your ministry🙂🙏🏽.Shaka_SteveVersion: 1.8.3

Love this app!I have been using this app for a long time now and really appreciate the developer creating this! It is even more useful to me now that I can use it on my iPad Pro! Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing some new features!.SynthdudeVersion: 1.10.2

Great Pad Sounds!I love this app. I’ve used it every Sunday for years..the addition of setlists and click has been awesome! But, the ONE thing I would to change is having the ability to turn off the click accent. Could we make this happen soon!?.Bobbyjacksonmusic.comVersion: 1.7

Great app with few BuggsMy only thing I noticed was that the pad would stop playing after 10-20 minutes. I would have to close the app and reopen it to get it to play again..WithNoWallsVersion: 1.10.2

Great except it drains battery.Be sure you turn on save battery or close app fully after using. Not sure what it is doing in the background but it kills my battery when I’m not even using it..ErkomaiVersion: 1.10.2

Reliable and simpleReliable and simple, and the sounds are excellent! I typically just use the standard default sound while playing acoustic to add a little more to my sound. Love it!.Tylerjames118Version: 1.10.2

Excellent app...hoping for moreThis app is great. Love the simplicity of it. The only thing is it’s not easy to switch between sounds if your using a different sound for different songs. Hoping for a feature for that to come down the line..Just-oVersion: 1.0

Love it! Great beginning!I agree with everything Pro CCM Keyboardist said in their review. In addition to the pad, it would would amazing to have ambient melodic tones in the background to add some color to the pad so it’s not just the pad sound only the whole time..3rd WatchVersion: 1.3

I love this app!!We have been trying to fill out our sound at church and this app is amazing!! i absolutely love it and couldn’t recommend it more that i do!!.DrumnisVersion: 1.10.2

Works awesome but...This app works awesome but it keeps crashing. It will crash after 15 or 20 minutes of use, not every time, but a lot of times it does. Would be nice to have this issue resolved.Joseph Dickerson 417Version: 1.7.2

Thank you!Awesome app, worth 10x what it costs. My only suggestion for improvement would be to make it more obvious which key you've selected. The letter does glow it is very faint. Still giving you 5 stars for tho!.Tb3bbb bad appVersion: 1.0

Cool app, but only one note at a timeWould love it if this app could make ambient chords in addition to many ambient octaves of a single note. This would be super useful to me if there was a similar pad with major and minor chords lumped together by key or something. The app would be unstoppable!.Bubblegum9797Version: 1.10.2

So Clutch 👊Use it every week for worship. But it’s usable in seriously any setting. So easy to use and completely reliable..Jerron ArcherVersion: 1.10.2

KillerThis app is AWESOME and helped take things to a new level. The only thing so far I would want added is to be able to create a custom layout..Mjaynes87Version: 1.3

What types of files import?I try and send my friend a mp4 and he says it’s not working. I have an iPhone he has an andrioid. Do I need to convert it to a mp3?.Joe123243836373Version: 1.10.2

Odd questionHow do you use it for songs wrote in Flats.....?.. Thanks Ryan for your response. Thanks that’ll work, I kinda thought that after I sat down and started looking at it more closer..Worthless app123456789Version: 1.4.1

MIDII’m not sure about the midi I can’t find a way to connect with my piano I’ve tried Bluetooth and wired and still don’t seem to get a response I will be glad to get a feedback if I am doing anything wrong..TonysendthisVersion: 1.10.2

Highly recommended5 stars. Use this every week on stage and it completely changes the game for the price.Ekustudent20Version: 1.7.1

Beautiful samples, great designA simple design with rich samples. This app helps set the atmosphere and I love the low / high pass filter options!.Super-sweet-appVersion: 1.8.6

Nice on iPad, not so nice on macThis app works great and sounds great on my iPad. However under Monterey on macOS it is standalone and I can’t get it in Logic Pro X. This app needs to be AU with a component to be useful on the Mac..Kurt52Version: 1.9.1

Midi does not work!Well is app is good and does what it promises.. except for Midi.. which does not work on iPhone 8plus.. however cannot complaint much at the price point....Clive LuisVersion: 1.4.1

Amazing app!Great selection of sounds and easy to use. Will be using this week in our worship service. Awesome!.DroidDoc143Version: 1.0

So close!Irig BlueBoard only puts out 4 notes, C, D, E, and F. The pads in this app do not midi learn so that I could assign my chord samples to one of those four notes and trigger them via BlueBoard. Like if I wanted to play an Ab chord using the C pad. Admittedly, I am searching for an iOS sample pad with assignable midi control. Midi learnable. I could have possibly used the set list feature, but there’s no way to move from “song” to “song” via midi. Great app, just won’t work for me..ShepdanielsVersion: 1.8.6

Great!I Love this app, Great for use when learning guitar scales. Can play this over scale and hear the cadences of the scale you are playing over..Ace withVersion: 1.6.1

More NotesGreat working app! Very stable and easy to use. Developers were quick to assist with the question I had..Spderman37Version: 1.6.1

Awesome!!!!The sounds are great and the simplicity of the design is great. Perfect for a solo worship artist just playing an acoustic guitar and looking to have a little pad in the background..Mistah MusiqVersion: 1.0

Please Add Click off in SetlistPlease add a switch to turn off the click while in Setlist when the tracks are playing. Would be perfect with this function!.Duffguy123Version: 1.7.2

Great sounds and so easy to useThis is a great easy setup to use Pads and click on your worship team..Jesse@eternalchurchVersion: 1.7

Excellent Practice ToolWhile the developer pitches this app as a way to add background pads to live performances, it’s also a great tool for practicing soloing. Much faster to pick a key with this app, than setup a looper or freeze pedal..BuhkabuhVersion: 1.10.2

Secret weaponBest long sample performance tool on ipad!.ReclohVersion: 1.9

Great AppThis app is really well thought out Nd easy to use. Highly recommend.Chadb_caVersion: 1.7.2

Nice!So far I like this. Maybe I’m missing something obvious, but can I map midi to control the cutoff, volume, etc?.Simon._bVersion: 1.7.2

Crackle soundKeep getting random cracke sound if it’s through the speaker and the headphone jack. Click is turned off. Something is wrong with app..BuzznewmanVersion: 1.7.2

Great!!!AutoPad is a simple and straight-forward app. It does one thing and it does it well. I would love to see more instruments added but very happy with the selection available. This will definitely be incorporated into my production workflow!.Mutagenic StudiosVersion: 1.3

Great appIt is a great app! The pads are amazing! But it would better if the click tracks were shaker sounds..C00lc0rr1Version: 1.6.1

AutoPad — Ambient Pad Loops Negative Reviews

3.5min limitation is a dealbreaker for meThis a great app, however the 3.5min limitation on imported pads is a dealbreaker for me. I want to use “Motion Pads” that have a chord progression while our worship leader is talking between songs, which often lasts longer than 3.5min. So not only does it choose a random starting position in a longer sound file, it also cuts it off and restarts it right at 3.5min. Not ideal during talking or prayer times. Will change to 5 stars when that limitation is removed..ScoTTTimoVersion: 1.10.2

Great concept horrible executionI downloaded this app because I saw a friend of mine use it with his worship team. I downloaded it and even bought the extra sounds. But when I connected through Bluetooth to our system it will play for five seconds and then drop out completely. I have to close the app and restart it and it is the same thing over and over again. I just wish this Apple work and I can give it a five star review.TitussmithVersion: 1.8.6

Keep scrolling, don’t waste your timeIs it really impossible to do minor chords or custom chords ? This is one of the most elementary features of an app like this. Might as well remove the key of C major, or remove all the audio from the app because it’s every bit as useless. I wish I could rate this 0 stars. Don’t waste your time or money.BenandthecapredociansVersion: 1.7.2
