n-Track Studio DAW: Make Music Reviews

by FS17936201649-

Ever wanted to spend the WHOLE day doing basic DAW functions and never spend anytime being creative? Need a DAW that literally does nothing? Do you love having gear that helps you in no way shape or form met your goals or aspirations? Love being hassled to pay money for an app that never once proved itself worthy of your cold hard cash? Oh boy is nTrackStudioDAW for you! In a matter of seconds after downloading you’ll be on your way to a full day of frustration and wondering to yourself how anyone in their right mind could’ve clear this for download let alone purchase! The N-Track recorder, over complicating music production for your pleasure!

nTrackStudioDAW is super buggy. The controls freeze over time and there’s no way of unlocking them. Some notes get stuck and play until nTrackStudioDAW needs to be restarted. The user interface is not intuitive and has a poor layout. You’ll be constantly pressing on wrong buttons accidentally. The sequencer pattern jumps back and forth just to display last step playing.

nTrackStudioDAW also uses unnecessary confusion by using wrong terminology. For example, it refers to kits as “instruments” and it refers to individual instruments within a kit as “notes”.

I was able to get a decent sounding recording using a couple of the virtual instruments in nTrackStudioDAW but when I plugged in my interface and recorded a couple of tracks of my guitar, the sound quality was terribly distorted unless I pulled the faders almost all the way down. To make sure I wasn’t doing anything wrong, using the same interface set-up, I recorded to a couple of other very popular iOS recording apps and the improvement in sound quality was quite apparent. So, I would recommend you use something like Cubasis or Garageband if you plan to use audio tracks to record guitars, etc. nTrackStudioDAW might be okay for strictly virtual instruments, beat-making, etc. but I would definitely recommend you try the free version before buying a subscription.

nTrackStudioDAW is somewhat usable, and updates seem to be coming out every once in a while that help with a few things. But there are so many things about nTrackStudioDAW that make it hard to use. For example, sometimes it will stop playing sound. I look around for every reason as to why it might just stop playing sound, but find nothing. But if I go into settings, do nothing with the settings, and click apply, it suddenly works after it gives me the message “restarting audio engine.” This is the biggest thing that annoys me. I really hope it gets fixed because this makes it so hard to use.

The first days were fantastic discovering the instruments loops, the easy way to recording, the pro quality of the sound recorded, then today a window popped out asking me if I like nTrackStudioDAW so I clicked on "yes I like it" , then asked me to write a review but I didn't. Now I can not keep doing my song cause it is saying "you are using free edition " but on corner at the bottom right side there was a "renew subscription " or something like that. So I clicked on it and a window opened saying " refreshing subscription" and then it said " no subscription found". What did I do wrong . Thumbs down for n -track studio 9. Nothing more to say. I am done with this at least the developers can help me in some way to revert my opinion. Open mind with this issue.

nTrackStudioDAW freezes up. I’m using the slider (horizontal) to change the stereo frequencies but the slider is stuck all the way to the righ won’t budge. I open the EQ & hey great info but it won’t move the heck out of my way when I’m fed up with it. It gives “flat vocals” as its starting sound. But hey, there’s like 20_ more sounds to choose from. I choose my usuals that I like, go to do something else in FX & the EQ “meter” plus is back on its standard default of “Flat vocals”. Frustrated. I should be able to get rid of the EQ meter etc. with a swipe, a pointer down, something! I end up shutting down nTrackStudioDAW to stop that 1 feature AND I’M PAYING FOR THIS!
Not for long if bugs aren’t worked out PLEASE!

I’m able to import and export and monitor metering, and native plugins are easy to deal with. This is already way ahead of GarageBand for someone who doesn’t need midi instruments to create a song and does not auto-normalize, which is a huge plus for me. My only real complaints are with 3rd party plugins and overall performance. With AU plugins, the program will stall, skip or glitch until you exit the plugin. Also, at least twice a day, the entire app will drop audio and not regain it until you exit completely but then you have to reset all the 3rd party plugin and start the cycle all over again. Otherwise, I’m enjoying how broad of an app this is

Needs a better, smoother MIDI editor/ Piano roll interface. In the piano roll, the bar that shows the measures/beats (the grid) disappears at times. App has moments of being really laggy & slow. The most annoying thing of all is the lack of copy/cut/paste functionality in the piano roll. Other than that, a lot of potential, a lot of good things. Just want some improvements!

I recently started using n track on my iPad Pro and i gotta say i love it! I love how modern the mixer and wave forms look compared to other IOS daws. However, I come from a desktop daw workflow so at times it could feel a bit limiting due to only being able to open one plugin at once. If N Track opened AUV3 plugins with a pop up window where the size can be adjusted instead of the current slide up window we have now that’ll be awesome. I would just love to be able to have two plugins side by side. Also the faders on the mixer feel kind of short though N track does offer portrait mode but then less busses fit on screen. Compared to other iOS daws N track is underrated! It supports 3rd party side chaining like Fabfilter Compressor. It just needs a few updates like desktop visual plugin for newer ipad pros and R W automations and being able to automate AUV3s. Thank you to the N Track team for bringing such a modern daw experience to iOS!

I have been paying for n-Track for a long time now but every time I open nTrackStudioDAW it says I am using the free version and then gives me the option to renew subscription...can’t seem to get around this?...needless to say, I am paying for an app that I can never use...how do I get the product that I have been paying on monthly?

by Royal Joke

So far, I’m really liking nTrackStudioDAW for its well made orchestral instrument sounds, especially when compared to the passable at best instruments from more popular high budget apps like Garageband. Though I will say the layout could use a lot of tweaks to make more convenient like the one in Garageband. Things like the option of increasing or decreasing the attack for crescendo effects, removing whatever makes chords keep playing a second or two after letting go of the keys, and making the volume of the keys more consistent would help. Also the ability to move the individual parts and more advanced quantization effects (though that could just be me). A lot of the black keys, especially A sharp, are way too quiet and make a lot of compositions awkward. But it’s useful, especially in conjunction with other apps like Garageband or BandLab, all of which I use together.

I am a guitarist in a very well known WORLD WIDE rock band. I do have a couple of true pro studio apps that we all (band members) use in the studio which interfaces with software we use for recording and producing. They have “sandboxes “ for idea scrap or save. N track does much more aside from the streamlined user interfaces. Two songs from our last release went top ten on American billboard charts, and they were 90% created and premastered using N Track. Thanks guys. In a perfect world you would earning royalties. Sorry this world is so far from perfect. However, your app is just perfect in my JDL world. Again, thanks. (I did contribute funds $$$ to your team. Royalties from me to you). Garage bland and other crapps are better suited for gaming consoles. I never ever write reviews on anything. Humans love to sue so even writing this is ‘on the line’. Back to the reason I began this winded rant. I REALLY REALLY LIKE YOUR APP. A LOT LOT. Rock on!!! Xxxxx, lead guitarist for XXXXX XXXXXXXX.

.... I wish there a tutorial or something, just hitting buttons to see what happens is one way yes, however I think when you know the reasoning behind a function it helps you to be more efficient as well as effective. Thanks, awesome app though, very cool!

by Jingleman76

You guys have come up with a refreshing recording app/program that gets back to the basics of what computer/tablet recording should be (imho). All programs I’ve used on pc and iPad (which is most of them) have gotten so bloated and complex…that sitting down and just being able to record and edit tracks in an easy to use platform has gotten lost. Thanks for bringing back the enjoyment factor again. P.S. Could you guys consider a discount for the tablet app for those who purchased the computer program? Thanks, Mitch Irish

Everything’s been going great so far since I’ve bought the pro version, despite one issue I have. When you open multiple audio tracks, it will only record over the original track. Before I had the pro I could layer multiple audio tracks and record and nTrackStudioDAW would know which track is being recorded by simply clicking on that given audio track. Now it doesn’t matter what track I am set in, it only records over the original. Please fix this. Besides that issue I’ve really enjoyed nTrackStudioDAW .

My biggest OCD is when I hear a song and wish it was in a different key or pitch, I downloaded nTrackStudioDAW and I have not had a single problem, I'm not a robot, I'm not someone working with this company posting a review, I'm just a guy who got nTrackStudioDAW and am very pleased with what I paid for, out of sheer curiosity, is there a way to bundle where you could have access to both the desktop version and iPhone version?

I appreciate the hard work put into this and I look forward to seeing what you guys do next!

I am a solid but hardly pro level musician with no recording experience, so I have mostly been composing as a very intermediate songwriter. I have focused on mastering GarageBand so I could eventually upgrade to Logic Pro since it’s setup to segue nicely. Strangely, though, I can’t get the quality of audio on my voice I’d like Even with a great condenser mic, and I hate trying to mix without an actual mixing view in GarageBand. Maddening.

So along comes n-track with a free version for me to poke around in on my iPad. My vocals sound waaaay more robust, and the mixing view, well, it exists!

I miss the level of drummer loops and different interfaces for drummers that GarageBand had, it’s also pushing me to dig deeper for what’s going to make my songs unique since I can import any tracks and loops along that I’d like.

My only frustration so far is not being able to record takes on an existing track. I have to add a track, so it eats up the fluidity of cutting right into a small spot. But that might be my noob status.

Great recording software 🤠 a little learning curve but they all do don't they? Spend more time creating and recording and less time messing with software. Great service and tech support. So if your looking for recording software look no further because a lot of the others, are way more complicated and expensive to use! Have fun enjoying life enjoying making music.

I would rate this 'the most impressive and most importantly the most functional studio app I have found on nTrackStudioDAW store' out of five stars, not only can you record new audio, you can also add instrumental tracks, and do almost anything to your tracks that you could do in standard computer sound studios and you can save, upload and export your tracks without technical difficulties, which is more than I can say for most. I honestly cannot overstate how impressive and functional nTrackStudioDAW is, especially considering the amount of audio I can work with while using the free version and while I am using an ancient version of iOS

by NickLost420

nTrackStudioDAW is great! I’ve tried FL and a few other recording programs but I always find myself coming back to n-Track it’s has Lots of potential! You could really come out with some good material using this. Been using this to record rap and it never lets me down. Only thing that could be better is if it allowed me to download 3rd party plug ins and import. Other than that the effects that come with the monthly subscription of $1 are absolutely worth it. It definitely boosts the quality. Was using my ear pods to record for the longest but I recently bought a microphone to plug into my iPhone and it definitely changed the game. All n-Track needs now is better Autotune/vocal tune or more 3rd party plugins and it’ll be premium!

by Too_queezy

nTrackStudioDAW is great. What will make it better is if you can record and leave nTrackStudioDAW idle. It helps with multitasking.

Also nTrackStudioDAW freezes every time I save a track. This is quite annoying and I can barley make progress. I will definitely change to 5 stars if that bug can be fixed. Thank you

Hi! I would love to use nTrackStudioDAW but it crashes 5 seconds upon loading every time. I’m a long time iOS music maker and I’m trying to give nTrackStudioDAW a try but it seems imposible at this moment. I have a 2017 iPad Pro on iOS 12.1.3 please advice if there’s anything that you can do to fix this problem. Thanks!

by Me1191

I find nTrackStudioDAW to have everything i need to produce my beats on the go BUT nTrackStudioDAW ITSELF DOESN'T FIT MY IPHONE XS MAX SCREEN. Sometimes it's okay when I'm using an instrument but when i comes to editing a section or having to delete a section it like my screen is too small for nTrackStudioDAW and thats very annoying

by MarkJ1986

Love the layout and design, my only issue is that on iphone the midi editor is pretty laggy and hard to control. But then again its a phone. Good job on this daw. I also really enjoy the cloud community through songtree.

by Chuckie Slayer

It has trouble working with bs-16i. However, it’s really nice to have nTrackStudioDAW free. :) Thank you developers!

by Studio Noob

nTrackStudioDAW does everything I need for a mobile setup and then some.

by Shamig

Rarely do I write a review but But this application has save me a lot of money and time from traveling to the studio I’m able to collaborate with my producers anytime and it’s great for beginners 🔥🔥🔥🔥

by Ledomperignon Eady NT1F

New update No good It will delete saved recording when it updates

by Jon Mass

Seems great. I thought there was no Audioshare support but didn’t realize I could just copy/paste audio, so no complaints.
