Meteor Multitrack Recorder for Negative User Reviews
✓ Require 5.1 a couple of days after it's release? Really?How shortsighted is it to issue an update to require iOS 5.1 only a couple of days after release of iOS 5.1? Or even requiring a minor firmware release for your app?.Version: 1.29
✓ Wish i could use it!This app has a great interface, unfortunately you can not record more that one audio track when recording a midi track. so for my live performance application requirement it is useless, when i enquired about any upgrades to this function i was stonewalled, so i do not have much hope that this shortcoming will be addressed.Version: 2.14
✓ Weird glitch, Freezing TrackI froze a track and the prompt saying "freezing track, please wait" froze on my track view. It just stayed there. I could work in the view, but the warning stayed permanently. I deleted the app and am re-downloading the app, hopefully it doesn't happen again..Version: 2.02
✓ A Good StartI have used other multitrack recording apps on the iPad but this one has the correct features along with several useful effects. It's laid out like a traditional DAW so it's easy to use. This is a good start but it's buggy and unreliable and crashes often. The latest update says that you can split an incoming stereo signal into two mono tracks, but I find no instructions on how to do that. Everything you record is mono. That's a real weakness. Other iPad Daws allow up to 24 stereo tracks, although lacking in the robust effects of this app. Nice but needs work..Version: 1.02
✓ Not impressedIm not happy about only being told iPad 2 is recommended for the midi editor AFTER i had purchased Meteor as i have iPad 1 If this was stated somewhere i missed it and it should be made clearer, refund ?.Version: 1.26
✓ Import Midi from Dropbox?Had Meteor for a long time now and it's been great. But recently tried to import Midi file from Dropbox but not loading screen blank! Please fix as Metoer should be 5 star + app all the way..Version: 1.52
✓ OK product but wish it was betterI bought this because I wanted to play midsi files to help me learn choral music quickly. The programme is good as far as it goes. But for my purposes it has some major shortcomings. I do so wish it could cope with two different tempos in the same piece - ie it can't cope with a change in metronome marking during a single piece. Also Why Why Why does it not offer any time signatures with 2 beats in the bar, eg 2/2, which is a really common time signature and is not the same as 4/4. For the early music I want to rehearse 3/2, 4/2, 6/2 and 8/2 are also quite common. Can we have an upgrade? With these changes the programme would be quite good..Version: 2.14
✓ UI is really badUI is bad. Wish I had bought a different multitrack app because this one is both expensive and not very good. The worst type of app..Version: 1.42
✓ Poor Customer ServiceThe developer(s) failed to respond to my pre-purchase questions as well as my post purchase questions. Based on my experience, their Customer Experience was non existent. Do they value their paying customers? I suggest looking at other iOS multi-recording apps, such as Cubais, Arial (sp?)..Version: 2.22
✓ Promises so much!Just dropped $20 on a product that every time I launch, it crashes my iPad... Completely. It seizes and then eventually reboots. Very surprised it made it through the QA process. It worked once and I was rapt! Looks awesome and promised so much, but after I tried to load up a MIDI file stored within Dropbox it works no more..Version: 1.52
✓ Don’tThere’s literally no reason to buy this. It is a time capsule from the 90’s. The developer is currently producing some excellent AUv3 plug ins that are light years ahead of the technology in this DAW. If they were to bring this into the 21st Century based on their current batch of plug ins it would be a contender. But definitely not as it is. Look at MultiTrackStudio, Auria, or Cubasis..Version: 2.39
✓ Not that great on an iPad1Meteor doesn't run so well on an iPad1. It will work, but you will get a lot of low memory warnings and crashes. Better to stick with Studio HD or Multitrack DAW if you don't plan on upgrading anytime soon..Version: 1.02
✓ UncertainExtremely glitchy. First would not play, or record. I fixed this by rebooting, then would play but not record. I rebooted again and checked i had enough cpu. I manage to start recording, and in the middle of a track it adds a a segment of reverb, or delay i’m not entirely sure, but know i did not set it up to do that myself. It did this again on another track. I am not sure what is going on with it. I hope i will have the patience to persevere, but i keep wondering if there is another application better suited to my needs, or whether it is just a steep learning curve, and perhaps when i know how to use it better i will overcome the glitches..Version: 2.42
✓ UI-aaaagggghhhh!!!!!This is a feature rich DAW which on paper looks great, and it actually sounds great, and I really want to like it. But the UI just isn't up to scratch. Far too much of the screen is taken up by icons in track view. Can't zoom out to see the entire song or see enough tracks in landscape mode. Pinch to zoom in track view is poor etc etc. I'm not usually into criticising apps, but if the UI and midi note editor were anywhere near as good as nanostudio, beatmaker or cubasis, then this could be the best DAW on the ipad. There have been other reviews raising issues about the UI - the developers should take note..Version: 1.52
✓ Ok, but...As a long time user of audio mixing software I find Meteor quite lacking and certainly not as usable as professional software. Recording tracks through Audiobus seems to lose frequency response in the bass. Try recording iKaossilator bass through audio bus and you will see what I mean. The track editing is very clunky and time consuming. Tempo is only available in 10bpm increments so you can not have a song at 95bpm in Meteor. There is no trim to loop which is quite disappointing as well. For a rough cut field app I would recommend Meteor but it is not going to replace ProTools, Sonar, or Audition for final production needs..Version: 1.65
✓ Meteor Multitrack RecorderGenerally ok, but a few infuriating things. First of all is that there was clear indication prior to purchase that the compressor was an inapp purchase. I chose this as it appeared to have the basic necessities as standard and I work mostly in audio. EQ and Compression are like a "Human Right" for audio production. Another quirk is that in the mixer view, the whole page moves when you attempt to twist or change a pan setting - this can be frustrating. I found that this could be resolved by holding down another finger anywhere in the page when turning a knob. So it does what it says on the tin, but the inapp purchase details are too sketchy so you have to buy before you find out..Version: 2.05
✓ Crashes after last update.Unusable after last update. Tried different latency setting and not stable on ipad 3 anymore. Used to use it with my alesis ios dock. Not any more. Shame. Please fix..Version: 1.70
✓ A powerful DAW with unique featuresMeteor does what all other IOS DAWs do, and some things that the others don’t. The track markers are very useful for navigating around a project. Also, the fx implementation is very good..Version: 2.37
✓ If I could give 0 stars, I wouldIt's been 2 months, and still nothing. I emailed the devs, and they just told me to 'check my software and to make sure the Dropbox app is updated' which both are up to date. The devs haven't responded to me, since. I'm someone who invested money into this company, and they haven't helped me at all. Waste of time using this app. If errors occur, the devs won't help you, even though it's their job. Waste of money..Version: 2.22
✓ One track at a time?This app can only record ONE TRACK AT A TIME! What kind of DAW can only record one track at a time? MultiTrack DAW, Auria, n-Track Studio, and Cubasis can do it. Why can't this? Audiobus support is great, but is mostly worthless in this app. Get a good drum rhythm going in DM1 with a MIDI-synchronized baseline in BassLine and you want to record it? Maybe play a nice lead along with it with Sunrizer? Forget it! One track at a time. I love the shill reviews for this app, too. Virtual instruments better than GarageBand? Doubtful, but for an $11 in-app purchase (more than twice the price of GarageBand) I would hope they're pretty good. The name and description are misleading. This should be called Single Track Recorder!.Version: 1.52
✓ Incompatible with iPad 4Latest version now seems to be incompatible with iPad 4. Why?.Version: 2.20
✓ Not as shownThe synopsis of the app explicitly says it features virtual instruments, the app web page says "in app virtual instruments" and the demo video shows the instruments.. but... NO VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS ARE INCLUDED!!! They are at least an additional $10.99 for any virtual instruments... only find this out after you buy it. Hope you enjoyed my cash, I'm not happy..Version: 1.52
✓ A serious contender...This is an ambitious app. Someone else said it best in their review when they said that it covers a lot of ground. It provides robust audio and midi recording capabilities, in a more professional environment IMO than Music Studio. Things that need improvement: 1. Ability to resize, vertically and horizontally, the keyboard. Basically the GarageBand iOS sizing for the keyboard. But, the keys are also too short! Taking off stars till this is improved! Used to rate this as 4 stars. 2. Ability to use multiple time signatures in 1 tune. None of the iOS daws have this yet :-( Add these improvements and I'm using Meteor all the time. Right now, I use Beatmaker 2 much more and dump tracks to Meteor for audio recording. I use Meteor for transcriptions (my jazz stuff) mostly, but would love to use it more. It is the closest to having it all....Version: 1.5
✓ Does not play well with othersI'm an audio professional, so the high price doesn't bother me. However the inability to easily move sound between this app and the others is extremely disappointing. Meteor doesn't appear in the OPEN IN dialog of other apps. Nor is it easy to send final product where needed. You must use iTunes to get external (professionally recorded) audio into it's "pool.". There is no way to work independent and remotely. For an audio pro...this is a deal killer. If you're going to create music or podcast by recording audio directly in the iPad, this app may be a good choice. But if you're working with stems or multi source audio...it's requires you to be tethered to the computer - which in my case is running ProTools. Thus, I don't need the iPad when I have the computer. Also is somewhat buggy, with screen orientation in lock mode. For $20 I expected a far more complete DAW. If it worked more like a multitrack version of TwistedWave for iPad, it would have more useful for collaborating. In fact, for those users, TwistedWave output to GarageBand might be a better choice..Version: 1.12
✓ Great app, terrible distortion plugin!This is a great app, it feels like you are in front of your Mac recording with ProTools. So why the 1 star rating? Well, I am a electric guitar player and most of my compositions are with that instrument, so when I bought it I thought that the plugins for electric guitar, specifically the distortion plugin would do the job for the electric guitar parts...but it is awful, terrible, killed my tone, killed my inspiration, so I am back to my MacBook and wishing the AppStore to have a refund policy, I feel robbed, scamed!.Version: 1.36
✓ Great AppI was waiting for something like this to come along. Keep making it better...bring on the updates. Works great with Audiobus. This App is a travelling musicians dream. Loaded some recordings from Meteor into my Sonar X1 DAW...mixed/mastered it...sounded great! Thanks 4Pockets...you guys ROCK...and now so do I..Version: 1.65
✓ Nice looking app, but buggyI have had issues with this app and have waited for some time with no responses from 4pockets regarding meteor and other 4pockets software. I have searched forums and the meteor manual and found nothing like the problems I am having. I am interested in buying the midi in-app add-ons, but I am not going to pay the additional cost without confidence in 4pockets support. Compared to many professional desktop DAWs Meteor is a good value, but compared to the reliability and stability of multitrack DAW or even GarageBand, I'm not sure that meteor is worth the extra cost... at least until I receive support from 4pockets and see these bugs fixed. For now I would suggest multitrack DAW if your looking for a mobile DAW..Version: 1.23
✓ Waste of MoneyYou can't import files into this app, nor can you "open in" another app, even though the option is clearly there. When you tap the selected file, it doesn't give you a list of apps in which to open, it just closes. The only thing you can do is plug in your iPad to your computer, and then download the file onto your desktop, then transfer it to the app you want, etc...takes away from the whole idea of having a portable DAW. I'm might as well just use my computer, it then I have a ton of other audio and video processing apps that I'd like to transfer my files. I'd give it five stars for all the other functions, but this is pretty big. It's like saying I really like my new Porsche but if they could just give me a fourth wheel. Otherwise, your Porsche sits in the garage and looks pretty..Version: 2.22
✓ Bit crap to be fair.I was expecting more. It really disappoints. It lacks obvious features and exporting clips and looping is clumsy. The effects are really bad as well. Should have paid the extra for Auria instead..Version: 1.37
✓ It can become the Protools of the iWorld...but....I've been looking for pro editing capabilities for my iPad, let's face it this devices are becoming the next gen alternatives for on the go people. The iPad makes my laptop old fashion, heavy and not portable enough. That's why I need to work on my iPad. This app is by far the most professional one ever. It feels good, and it delivers but have one ugly error: audio importing. I mean let me use audiocopy, or import from email... Or just let me browse anywhere to get my audio in. With a "Open with" option you will have a 5 star rating in no time! But right now most of us need to work with the iPad and a mic input. Dont let us run to the Mac or PC just to insert an audio! Learn from Music Studio an app I bought when someone told me it let you import audio the easy way. Do the update and I will erase Music Studio from my iPad..Version: 1.2
✓ Buyers Beware!This Daw has a good concept but it suffers from major bugs! I constantly have audio disappearing and or moving around on the timeline! Many Features don't work correctly and you feel like your going 1 step forward then 3 steps back! Oh yeah, good luck getting the editing to work right too! Also get ready to fork over some $ in the online store for things that others daws give to you. Major disappointment and still 0 support from 4pockets. Save yourself some headache and stay away from this nightmare!.Version: 1.4
✓ Greek tragedy waiting in the wingsThis program has some good features, including the very necessary track freeze which other apps lack, but o.m.g. The GUI wants to make me stab my eyes out, it's so frustrating! Nothing is where it should be, nothing is logical and editing is nigh impossible. Also, the synth is a bit lukewarm. Of course, I never got that in depth as it takes me an hour to figure out how to make a MIDI track every time I open the program, thinking I'll give it another try..Version: 1.65
✓ PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!This is (was) my favorite DAW and I recommended it to everyone. This is the DAW I learned on and would give it 10 stars if I could but the latest update makes it useless with the older versions of iPad’s. I have a hardware interface that uses the 30 pin connector on my 3rd generation iPad, I have purchased all the in app purchases and it works so well on the older versions on iPad’s. I can’t believe you took away the compatibility with these iPad’s. every penny I have spent on equipment for this DAW is useless and I guess I will be going over to Cubasis. I Loved this app so much but now I feel ripped off! If there is any way you can make this compatible with the older iPad’s again I will rewrite my review and continue recommending to all my musician friends. I know technology moves on but this software worked so well on the older versions of iPad’s I just don’t understand why you would cripple it for those pads. If Cubasis can support them I’m sure you can make this work with them again. I am begging you to please fix this flaw and make this the great app it used to be!.Version: 2.21
