Keep lyrics, mix notes, set lists, and session notes inside your DAW workflow with Markdown tools, a resizable split view, autosave, and iCloud sync.
Session Notes AU keeps your lyrics, mix notes, set lists, production reminders, and session notes inside the same DAW workflow where you track, edit, rehearse, and mix.
Instead of bouncing out to a separate notes app, you can keep the writing and the work in the same place.
Version 2.0 turns Session Notes AU into a more capable production companion with better writing tools, better note navigation, a flexible editor layout, and a safer day-to-day writing flow.

Session Notes AU is designed for musicians, producers, engineers, and performers who want notes to feel like part of the session, not a second app sitting off to the side.
Good, it could be better with a smilie improvement.

With large sets and effect chains, the icon is too similar to any number of eq or audio related AU in general. This is one app where the ability to change the icon would be extremely helpful. For instance, the ability to just have it say “text” as an icon would really differentiate it spacially as a reminder.
Nice but needs two important things
wareismike
Very nicely done! This is something extremely useful as-is though most people probably don’t realize how useful it can be. And for the price, there shouldn’t be anything to complain about. Unfortunately it’s missing two things that really hobble it. First, it needs to save its state in the host app session. For instance, if a particular note is displayed when the session is saved, it needs to be restored when the session is reloaded. I was going to give 4 stars but this is a deal breaker.Second, it would be super, super useful if notes could have a midi message associated to them (such as a Note number, or a CC/value combination) so that the note will display if the message is received by the app. This would make it possible for lyrics or performance notes could pop up when needed. With the two above features, this could be a 5 star app. But even without those, at this price I’m not disappointed that I purchased it. So thanks!
Exactly what I needed to put notes in my AUM sessions

This is exactly what I was looking for. I’m using it in AUM to load lyrics for songs and also notes about the different sessions setups. My only complaint is that I think it’s a bit overpriced at $2.99. Also, when saving a note, it immediately closes the note. It would be nice if it kept the note open!
Version 2.0 is a huge upgrade

Really impressed with the addition of Markdown and general smoothness of the new update. I find myself regularly taking notes outside of a session on my iPhone and finding it synced up perfectly within my sessions. Adding this to every template I’ve ever made. Well done dev.
