Studiomini Xl App Reviews

Got back great help and support. from the app makers! Greatest recording app, Out five stars from me!

This app is not worth $9.99 there aren't any effects. The lay out is cool ,but what's a "recording studio" with zero effects u can't even pan on this app.... Needless to say panning still wouldn't make feel like it was worth what I paid for it.... I want my money back! I read the reviews thinking I would at least be happy ... But I'm not.

I'm a singer and I've been using StudioMini XL for recording my songs over the past few months. It's really easy to use and what I like most is that I can start recording my ideas immediately. I've used other recording apps but I always keep coming back to this one because of that reason. I don't want to be constantly tweaking and lost in confusing menus, I want something straightforward that sounds and looks great and StudioMini XL is exactly that. Thank you to the developers!

Don't buy if you want to record through anything other than your pad/phones mic. This app would be very use if it interfaced with a direct input device. Until then it's utility is a TOY.

I'm don't understand how to put other sound to my songs.... And how do I email a song it doesn't go threw...

Nifty little app to have. Would like some panning options L/R and a trim nob.

I have been loving the iPhone version but kept thinking how took it would be to have an bigger /deluxe version... turns out it already exists!! Both great apps!

Can you pause the music so the singer can get a breathe and then play and keep going?

I got this App earlier this year, and it continues to get better. The input monitoring is great! I have done several recordings with this. It helps me flesh out ideas quickly. Thanks!

Buy it and enjoy!

I have an old tascam 4 track and is pretty much the same but simpler and the memory is not a problem... Excellent...

Man is this app great! I can't get over how easily I can record my music on my iPad 2 now. It's so easy to use I didn't even need to read the manual. Tech support is great too I had a quick question and they responded the next day with a super nice email. Rock solid app, go for it

I purchased this a year ago and had asked the developer if it was normal to not be able to monitor the input. I was told that it does not provide for the monitoring of the recording input, not even with headphones. After a few major revisions, that feature is still absent and hence there's no way to appreciate what the guitar or for that matter mic is picking up, which makes it useless for improvisional composers like me. For the same price, Garageband is not much harder to figure out but far more sophisticated. Most importantly, it allows me to plug a guitar directly in (via USB or the audio input), select virtual amps and effects and hear the actual mix during while I compose and record. That's the least I expect from something calling itself a "portable studio".

I bought this app to record guitar and vocals. The detail says multitrack recording. Well it seems that you can only record on one track at at time. I found that dissappointing.

This is the first review I've ever done, but this app is so expensive and SO bad Please do not waste your hard earned money like I did. Very complicated and tedious,wish I could get my money back

Great update! Love the new features, keep them coming plz! I'm a live sound engineer and use studiomini xl to record shows live from the mixing board into a stereo track. I then create mixes of songs in the app and email them to the band guys without needing my main computer which is great for me especially when I'm traveling on tour. The sound quality is almost hard to believe but definitely get an imic or one of the other usb interfaces.

The tracks bleed from one to the other and is no editing ..no good for garage bands...I'm looking for smething like this that dont bleed and u can ad effects and edit tracks

Love this app. It couldn't be easier to use. I use it to lay down ideas for songs with great sounding loops and work out guitar parts. Its extremely fast to start a new project and lay the idea while it's fresh. If you're looking to record your ideas quick and don't need a million synthesizes or over complicated features, I highly recommend it.

Love it!!

I got the iPhone version a while back and then got this when I got my iPad. Having more tracks and the bigger interface is pretty great. I'm a singer and I just love how fast I can record my new song ideas. I figured that if it's good enough for the Gorillaz to use on their album, should be good enough for mine, right? We've used tracks from StudioMini straight into Pro Tools for my new album. Great job on the iPad version, a nice companion to my iPhone StudioMini.

Don't waist your money. Doesn't do anything it say's it does. & They skeem you to purchase other devices you don't need. Bluefire does everything this is "suppose" to do. Ask for a refund? good luck...

Worth the money, but kinda of watered down tones and rhythm.

If you play guitar or any other Instrument for that matter this is amazing! This app is worth every cent. Having a metronome a loop for recordings you make and pre recorded drum beats to jam out to is great.

I just wanted a easy quality recorder that works on IOS devices. I have been impressed with the multitrack recording quality and options.

Ok, but please please make it possible to adjust gain/input volume. Tried to record band practice, in the red the whole time!

The drum loops are in stereo but you cannot record a stereo signal with this app...I tried every way I could think of, with a guitar interface, and also using an outboard mixer and all you get is a mono guitar signal, no panning left or right. Until this is added, I consider this $ wasted.

If no headphones are used, it picks up instrument just fine. When headphones are inserted, you can't play loud enough to record unless you're playing very loudly through an amp. This obviously shouldn't happen and keeps you from being able to use it as a multitrack recorder! Don't download!

Great App But It Does Need A Sequencer To Edit, Cut & Chop Vocals & Instruments & Some Decent Effects Like Reverb, Delay, Echo, Chorus & Flanger Ect That Would Make This App 100x Better For Recording Home Studio Quality So Please Add These Features :-) If It Was More Similar To The DAW App I wouldn't be as disappointed because the faders make it easier to mix i just want to mix and master my tracks more correctly on the IPad

This has the appearance of functionality but I can't do anything meaningful with it aside from song sketches, can't find a mic input, no asio selector, no routing... Nada. Am I just stupid? It records and plays via the iOS onboard stuff so it gets a star, but this app sold itself as something better than what it is... I would like a refund. Sorry, I hate to leave negative feedback but I'm tired of wasting my time with scams and if you talk your product up then you better deliver. ^updated- hooked up a mic via sub and this app crashes instantly upon arming track for rec

I honestly love this app! However it desperately needs to work with Audiobus!!!! As soon as this happens, and I'm sure it will, I will happily rate this app 5 STARS 😃

It ain't working, a lot of buttons do nothing. Please fix this.

Great dependable app. Does what it says. I'd like to see a high quality reverb and delay effects added. Also, in the notes or songs section, the ability to setup set lists or play lists for the bands, singles and duos that use backing tracks with lyrics. A few cataloging options for live performance would add greatly to this app. Works with the io dock.

Don't purchase this! They are not available to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have. I have sent 3 emails with no response and 2 FB posts with no response.

Love how this app works - it's so easy to figure out. Great sounding drum grooves too. I'd recommend to any musician.

I wanted to chime in on this app... I use it a lot for multi track recoding songs I have made... It sounds great, it records great, and I find nothing wrong with that end of it..... BUT...... Getting music out of it is not easy to do... You must have an Internet connection, or make vain attempts at removing songs through ITunes File Sharing, which is at best not very easy to do! I don't believe it's the Apps fault, I believe it's Apple's.... I would like to see this app be able to record an MP3 or 4 in the future, and be able to post the song you made up on Facebook. Or even move it to your music library right from the app... Keep plugging away at it gang... It's a great App. And I have given it four out of five stars.....

I've used this app for some time, and really liked. However, I cannot make it work on my new iPad Air 2.

If you want a lot of effects then GarageBand would be better, but this is an easy to use, stable, intuitive program.

Great, but needs a panning feature.

Hi all ! Ben using this app for a long Time now . Very simple to use Would like to have more backing tracks

I wish that the application had audio effects(FX) as so many of the other competitors do. I hope to see a list of audio effects soon. This is my only means of recording right now, and I would like to make it sound not only as professional as possible, but as close to the sound I was going for as well. Hope it is taken into consideration!

There are only a few 5-star apps out there...but this one is a solid 4+. It's beauty is its simplicity. Record into it. Playback out of it. And (optionally) use some pre-recorded beats. It works. Perfectly. Every time. Web transfer of files over local network is very easy.

This app is terrific! Record full songs or capture ideas in the moment. We use StudioMiniXL in our rehearsal studios. Our clients record their sessions. It is very easy to use. The sound quality will amaze you!

It won't let me email the song (the buttons won't work)

Great product except for the lack of effects.

I have used this app for several months now. I really like it. If you write songs and play guitar, mandolin or banjo this is a must app. It is really easy to use. Buy a new mic it will make a world of difference. The drum beats are not that great but I do not use them much. This app has improved my playing. I am writing both rhythm and lead.

Got it on all my devices. It’s awesome!

It's a wonderful app. The quality is great, and it's very user friendly. I can't seem to upload or send a recording, so that's the only issue so far. Hopefully this gets fixed.

Would be cool to be able to share with strangers you know show off talent it would be amazing.also lots of people don't play instruments on this app there are some people but I think you should make a echo effect and maybe make the voices louder,so like if I only did one recording it would be loud enough to hear please take these awesome ideas into consideration the more better you make this app into a real studio the more popular and whatever you do try to add not change.
