Excellent mobile DAW

Originally purchased this to sequence some external gear via USB MIDI after getting annoyed with clunky hardware sequencers. It performed the role of midi sequencer flawlessly for me when attached via a USB multi hub, think I only had one issue with a stuck note once. The touch interface works really well for editing the piano roll, more so with the Apple Pencil as it allows you to really get in there and make fine adjustments.

I’ve started using the app more and more standalone as a way to quickly input ideas I have on the go, it is excellent in that respect too. You have loads of tracks to play with and a simple but serviceable mixing interface with some basic effects thrown in. It has replaced my hardware Grooveboxes for that role completely, paired with a external MIDI keyboard + pad controller it’s really enjoyable to play and edit with!

No Files support?

I decided to make the switch from GarageBand and have been really enjoying tinkering with everything. Had no issues adjusting to it, even with the different way you lay a track opposed to GarageBand if anything in finding it more easier.

The price I have no problem with, as similar software on a PC would cost way more anyway. But the one big flaw for me is no files support! I decided to master one of my tracks using another app but I couldn't just export to files or open it in the other app like I would in GarageBand. Using all the export options you have available just doesn't work for me. Uploading to Dropbox just takes longer. Please can you update to add this inline with pretty much all other apps that have export options?

Lastly I did say I had no issue with the price but I will say I was a little let down by the small amount of presets on some gadgets that cost half as much as the app itself. Everything you get with GarageBand is free in comparison. Until Files support is implemented I can't give this more than 3 stars.

Excellent portable studio.

Gadgets amazing for on the go, the range of Gadgets are amazing and provide an extremely
wide range of sonic possibilities.

All the synths provide a beefy amount of low end and don’t feel wimpy at all, the effects on each channel while basic, do the job.

Syncing on iCloud is really useful, saving on the iPhone or iPad will allow you to load the track on the other device. It also allows a decent range of exporting abilities like individual tracks to be mixed later, also exporting as an Ableton Live clip format, this can be very useful for taking jams into Live to expand further with other equipment.

Gadget has utilised the full screen on the new style of iPhone and IPads that have the larger curved displays. Hardware like the Korg NanoKey Studio syncs with Gadget really well and latency is very low.

Some improvements would be that while Gadget is emulating a bunch of hardware equipment running into a mixer, it’s also trying to be a DAW, it would be very useful If the Sidechain effect could target a specific channel on a drum machine plug in, this would save duplicating the drum machines and muting the kick on one and the rest in the other to get a clean signal.

All in all, anyone in music for fun or for business and also owns a IOS device, this needs to be on their device.
