Coming Soon: WaveMachine Labs Announce Auria – 48-Track Recording System for iPad
17 January 2012:
WaveMachine Labs have announced Auria – a 48-track recording system for the iPad, giving you the ability to play 48 mono or stereo 24bit/44.1 kHz tracks simultaneously, record up to 24 of those tracks simultaneously (through any supported USB multichannel audio interface), and edit and mix with familiar tools and full parameter automation.
Auria will be available in Q1 2012 and will be priced at $49.99 USD.
What’s more, Auria’s 64-bit Double Precision architecture ensures ample headroom for plug-in processing and mix summing, transforming your iPad into a recording and mixing system with sound quality that rivals most DAWs.
The depth is in the details. Like customizable pan laws. Like meters that are selectable between VU and RMS. Like full delay compensation for all tracks, including aux sends and subgroups. Complete with a vintage-inspired channel strip on every channel, a dedicated master channel strip, VST plug-ins engineered by renowned makers such as PSPaudioware, Overloud, Fab Filter and Drumagog, and support for Dropbox, Soundcloud, AAF, and MP3, Auria truly raises the bar for recording and mixing on the iPad.
AURIA: 48-Track Recording System for iPad:
OVERVIEW:
- 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
RECORD & EDIT:
When recording, Auria lets you set input levels and choose to monitor tracks with or without effects. Punch in and out, loop record, using the minutes and seconds or samples ruler. Set Auria to snap to events, cursor position, or grid, if you like.
Bring in audio from iTunes. Or sessions from Pro Tools, Nuendo, Logic, Digital Performer or other DAWs via AAF import. Zoom in for sample-accurate editing with cut, copy and paste. The optional Drumagog plug-in even lets you fine-tune your drum tracks.
MIX:
Turn your iPad portrait for 100mm long-throw faders controlling up to 48 mono or stereo tracks, each with two aux sends, and a PSP ChannelStrip with extensive eq, expansion, compression and gating controls.
In addition, you can add up to 4 plug-ins to each channel. Fix a vocal with the included MuTune processor; do some frequency tweaking with the optional FabFilter Pro Q; or get an analog sheen with the optional PSP MicroWarmer.
On top of that, there are 4 subgroups as well, each of which can also accept 4 plug-ins. With full automation for both channel controls and plug-ins, Auria’s mixing power is unsurpassed on the iPad.
EFFECTS:
Superb ambience effects come with Auria, including Convolution Reverb featuring IR samples from MoReVox, ClassicVerb, PSP StereoChorus and PSP StereoDelay.
Optional plug-ins include PSPaudioware Echo and Micro Warmer, Fabfilter Pro Q, and Overloud TH-2 and BeVerb plugins, and more. And because WaveMachine Labs is helping plugin manufacturers port their existing VST plugins to the iOS platform, more plugins will be available through In-App purchase soon.
MASTER:
Auria dazzles right through to final mixdown, with the included PSP MasterStrip, featuring eq, compression, and brick-wall limiting.
And because it all goes through Auria’s 64-bit Double-Precision summing engine, there’s none of that pesky digital crunchiness.
Output as an MP3 or wav file, use Audio Copy/Paste, or output directly to iTunes, Soundcloud, or Dropbox. Or export an AAF session which you can bring into Pro Tools, Nuendo, Logic, Digital Performer or other DAWs.
From the first input to the final mixdown, Auria’s stunning soundsculpting tools and pristine audio reproduction will transform your iPad into an audio wonderland you simply won’t want to do without.
COMPATIBILITY:
iPad 2 recommended; iOS 5 required. Auria will record from the iPad mic, but a compatible USB Class 2 audio interface and Camera Connection Kit is recommended. iPad 1 is limited to 24 tracks. Some plug-ins are optional, as noted.

WaveMachine Labs changed the release date of Auria from first quarter 2012 to May. I’m a bit disappointed. Hopefully, it means that they want to get it right.
Any word on a release date yet?
Cool!!
Wondering: does it also playback on multiple outputs on those multi channel audiointerfaces?
That would be awesome. And great for backing tracks, clicktrack to the drummer, backing track to the PA, audio from SampleTank to main out….
dreaming…
@IncarnateX
Both Audio Copy and Paste is supported (import and export). These are both functions on the editor page (under the Edit menu).

Great. Thanks.
I’m wondering if Apple, or someone else, will make a portable hard drive for iOS devices that can be easily accessed to move files back and forth without having to connect to a desktop. I have a 64 gig iPad and it’s quickly filling up with apps and all the music I’m making on it. I don’t want to have to connect to the computer as part of my workflow. It’s an exciting time, and I’m really enjoying making music on iOS.
PLEASE RELEASE THIS!!! ASAP!
Really wish we could get something close to this on the iPhone. There are some good DAWs on here but in light of Meteor and now Auria, they just feel antiquated.
Multitrack DAW is great with compression, reverb, eq, soundcloud, email etc. Great little app.
@IncarnateX
Audio Copy/Paste is supported by Auria.

They only mention it as an export option but under their description of the import options it is not mentioned (see below). Do you know whether it covers import too?
“Bring in audio from iTunes. Or sessions from Pro Tools, Nuendo, Logic, Digital Performer or other DAWs via AAF import.”
Wow. Let’s see it with vsti and that’d be just about the ticket
Interesting. I have missed some better mastering gear on the iPad for some time now. So far Meteor and StudioTrack have been my weapons of choice but Auria seems to have what I am looking for: Advanced eq, compression, limiting and a convolution reverb to place everything in the same space. Wonderful. If they throw in an advanced stereo widener in a near future, everything I need for mastering will be covered.
However, it will be useless if I can not paste tracks into it from other apps, so I hope their copy-and-paste feature does not cover export only but import as well.
And if the price is 50$, it will be ok with me. It is still a fragment of what such a program would cost in a PC version.
$50 for this app? idk about that.
I dont need midi or virtual instruments, just a place to mix and master my BM2 tracks. This looks like it beats Meteor at that?
Meteor has an advantage of MIDI and virtual instruments plus it is available now.
According to Auria dev, they don’t plan support for MIDI, Sequencing and VSTi support (yet) and want to concentrate on audio only for the time being…
Great i just bought Meteor…Now this? wtf
No MIDI though- strictly audio.
There’s a good thread over at KVR with some comments by the dev…
this looks freakin amazing. a bit slow performance wise (when he was zooming) but if they can keep this thing from being a crashfest, i may just have to ditch logic.
Will this be better then Meteor? As of now i love Meteor
But hey, nothing in midi?
Blimey this look the business.
