i've been a GarageBand user for over a decade so I am coming to this app with that experience. What I like about the app is that due to its bare bones approach for recording guitars bases and vocals with no midi or virtual instruments to be found, I'm finding that it causes me to focus more on my guitar playing instead of relying on beats and backing instrumentation and I get a lot better amps and effects with this app than I do in GarageBand. if I want to use a drum loop, then I can simply import one from another program or I have the option to load one of the jam tracks and mute whatever instrument I don't want to use in the jam track, for instance, just play along with the jam track drums. A technical glitch I have however, is when I first connect my iPhone 14 Pro Max to my Behringer interface there is a delay of about 10 seconds where I can hear low level audio popping and on one of the channels on my interface the input lights blink for a few seconds then it goes away and I can start recording with the app normally. My interface is perfectly fine and I'm not experienced this issue with any other apps, including GarageBand, BandLab or any of them. also, I do not experience this with my 2017 iPad no issues with it, so I may just use this app on my iPad only until perhaps future updates will fix the issue I am experiencing with the iPhone. but overall, I'm liking this app and looking forward to see what Fender adds to it down the road.

I have been so excited to tryout this app on my iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 18.6 since I read about it online a few months or so back. Unfortunately, when I log in to the app with my Fender account using Sign in with Apple (which I’ve always used and verified is working on the Fender website, Fender Play, and all the other apps) I receive the following error message “Registration of Studio failed. A error occurred at the server (status 500). When I click the menu icon in the top I see that while the registration part failed I am logged in and my email address is displayed. I’ve tried logging out and then back in. I’ve tried to log in over different wireless networks as well as over my cellular network. I even created a new account using a different email address but, nothing seems to fix the registration issue. Please help and thank you!!!

I’m a Studio One user and was cautious when Fender bought PreSonus. I felt better when they came out with the “very good” interfaces designed in cooperation with Fender. This app; however, definitely has me worried again. The interface is nothing like Studio One, and I find it so stripped down of functionality that I would never use it. No third party functionality, no chord track (for an app aimed at guitar players), and no TAB integration. Why not have an ReAmp out channel (same as in Studio One) to integrate with the PreSonus interfaces that have a built in Guitar In/Amp Out feature co-developed by Fender? The selection of Amps and Stomps are very limited (not enough to build a proper digital pedalboard for some applications). I thought they would’ve built a very stripped down version of Studio One focused on singer/songwriters/guitar players. One of the complaints I have of Studio One is that it’s too focused on electronic music and not enough on other genres (like folk/bluegrass/outlaw for me). It seems like this product is so disconnected from Studio One (again, I’m a Studio One use and the interface wasn’t immediately intuitive for me) that it doesn’t seem like their strategy is to bring the two together and leverage what they already have in Studio One. It would make sense to me that they would want to make a natural pathway from this free product to their paid Studio One offerings. Very confusing???

So I misunderstood how to adjust the buffers in Fender Studio, my bad, so it's the bit rate and once I set it to 512, everything is OK. I've actually recorded several songs in the software and they came out pretty good. But tonight it started crashing. When you execute it, it won't fully open, it hangs and then it eventually closes, rebooted but that did not rectify the issue. Anybody else having this issue.? On a iPad Pro 12.9 from 2021. so this is an update, so I found a walk around for my issue, if I assure the USB cable is not plugged into my tablet when I execute fender studio, it opens just fine. I just have to make sure that the USB port is not plugged into my tablet when I first initialize Fender studio. Then once it fully executed, I can plug the USB cable and everything works fine.
