NanoStudio App Reviews

the workflow is great. very logically laid out. eden synth sounds great with lots of editing options. this is perfect. the ability to move the project to pc for further editing is really helpful too. I love this app!!

Needs Bluetooth capability. Also I have an iPhone 6 and cant connect it to soundcloud

You have to be the dumbest person out there you can import your own sample thats all you need do if you dont like the sounds that are on board import your own with FTTP server thats free

I cant believe that even after all this time since NS initial release, there still is not a single app that has even come close as far as workflow. I come from being a Reason user so I naturally love the workflow of NS. Beatmaker completely copied NS and the Korg Gadget is cool, but still seems like just a toy.

Before beatmaker and caustic there was nano studio. Still does the job very well. This is a classic.

This has to be the best app for maintaining your creative flow!! Simple, easy to learn, intuitive interface and you could load all the samples you like. By far my favorite mobile DAW. And for all the negative remarks, all good producers know you use more then one piece of software to make the final product. Its like saying your song isnt good because you only used the piano. Whereas a grand symphony is all different types of instruments played together to get a superior sound. Same goes with music making software. With that say I wouldnt be without nano studio when Im in my creative moods. Thanks you wish to see more updates in the future!

This app is the reason I continue to buy iPhones. What one person has done is amazing and this is invaluable tool for musicians of any background. Please optimize the UI for the iPhone 6 plus. Hitting the "skip back button" causes the app to screw up the magnification/zoom view when editing notes and it is very obnoxious.

App crashes like crazy. Lost some songs and lost some time w/ strange saving problems. Help guys. New update soon please!!! ( been a user for several years now without a hitch)

A fairly basic need that isnt met on this DAW is the ability for the piano roll screens to have MIDI-Out functionality. Since recording through AudioBus requires indirectly recording into a drum machine, and you can NOT audiopaste directly onto the time sequence, it is impossible to record good quality sound into a track so the least you guys can do is provide MIDI Out.

Been using this for years, got it back when iPhone 4 was new. I dont know how you can say anything bad about it, its like some are using an entirely different app.

04/22/2015 This is still the best music making app Ive used. Ive been using Nano Studio since 2010, and Ive sort of adapted my songwriting to maximize its abilities. It is so convenient to compose on an iPhone. I only use my desktop DAW (Cubase primarily) for finishing touches. Update: Nanostudio remains the best music app on the iPhone. Thank you so much for creating this awesome tool. However, there are two general wishes on my list: 1) the ability to use instrument samples in their original stereo format within the Eden synth. That would add a level of richness to the sound and that would make me extremely happy. 2) easier ways to record vocals (with pitch correction, etc.). This is a lot to ask of an already great app, but I would be willing to pay for the upgrade. Nanostudio remains the best music app on the iPhone. It is possible to do just about anything with this app. Upload your own wav samples from your favorite sample library if you want more options. GarageBand looks good, but is nowhere near as deep as Nanostudio. Thanks for making my favorite app. Update: I just realized that GarageBand doesnt have a midi/note editor! What good is that? Most music apps (Garageband included) are just toys compared to Nanostudio. ------- Version 1.2 is fantastic, and upgrading from 6 to 16 tracks for an additional $4.99 is a bargain. If one can improve on perfection, adding audio tracks for vocals/mic instruments along with effects/autotune/etc. would be awesome (I know youve been considering this). Your support on your websites message boards is swell. Keep up the great work. ------ Ive used NanoStudio since September 2010. Loved it then. Love it now. You can sample (record sounds on the iPhone like tapping a dog with a knife or saying words like "fire," or import WAV samples). Excellent midi editor. Nice variety of sounds, effects. Midi out. I export my mixdowns as WAV and import into my DAW (e.g. Cubase 5) and elaborate using my favorite VST plugins. Then I listen to my songs by myself and think that nobody understands or appreciates my geniosity. -------- Thank you for making this app! I cant believe it is not in the top 10! I am a Cubase user, but I find myself using nanostudio quite a lot (especially on the toilet - very inspirational)! My wife says that Im always on the toilet! Little does she know that now, thanks to nanostudio, Im actually composing songs about toilets and/or dogs! Wont she be surprised!

The simple yet powerful interface is what sets this app apart from so many others. I own just about every music making app you can get for iPad. Aside from GarageBand, this is the most intuitive. I have made a number of songs on various apps but I keep coming back to NanoStudio because it provides the most direct way to get a song out of your head and into an iPad. The only ding I would give it is the quantize latency on the drum pad, which can be difficult/unforgiving (Tabletop, by comparison, works flawlessly). If you set quantize for a more coarse setting, youll do just fine. The synth has a rich sound that keeps you coming back. At first glance this app may seem limited, but once you start appreciating the simplicity and power of the interface, coupled with one of the best sounding synths available for iPad, you will keep coming back to NanoStudio. This app will let you do live looping performances (not with a sampler, but your own imported sounds and synth presets). You can also download the app onto your computer and really let your creativity flow. Well worth the money. If you have doubts, check out videos and music people have made.

I love this app and have been using it for two years now. However I would like some more sounds to be available and if you guys could make it so the orientation turns again that would be awesome. I broke my screen and gyro so its become somewhat unusable. Shameless promotion: soundcloud: AWL. Tucson AZ

For some reason it wont connect to my soundcloud account anymore. When I tap to connect, it gets stuck on a blank loading screen. A full DAW on my iPhone! Amazing app right here. Check out my soundclouds theundeadhooligans and thecoffindancers.

Easy to compose and develop musical ideas. Nice set of instruments and tools. I really appreciate the built-in help/manual.

If you want to spend hours messing around with fun iOS music apps, go for it—there are a lot of sweet ones. If you want to complete songs, open NanoStudio. Look at it as a full-on mobile electronic music studio. Or look at is as 15 channel multitimbral synth/sampler with per channel effects and automation. Either way, it’s basically absurd how much you get for the price. Long live NanoStudio.

When are we getting an update tho..this app is my crack and I need more of it!!

So far Im extremely impressed with this app and it has been my primary digital music creation tool. I decided to dive into the MIDI aspect of this great app, because I needed to trigger another instrument only to discover it is only MIDI in!?!? Who does this now days? I hope they change this limiting feature in a future update!!!

I have downloaded almost a hundred music apps at this point. I play instruments as well as make electronic music. This is all around the best synth and synth daw I have ever used. Cannot recommend it enough. I even use the looping live in my sets. Amazing

I cant thank Blip Interactive enough for creating this app! The app is fantastic and has a great user friendly interface that creates an intuitive environment for smooth and productive workflow. It is far easier to create music with this app than with my desktop DAW.
