What is Reddit's opinion of Audio Evolution Mobile Studio?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Although it's a paid app, Audio Evolution Mobile Studio is probably the best app for Android I've ever used and gives a lot of control as a recording app!!! It also has USB mic recording and MIDI

Here's what I would do (I have this exact setup):

1. Buy a Marshall Code 50
2. Buy an Amazon Kindle Fire HD along with a case that has a stand and put the Google Play store on the tablet (unless you already have a decent Android tablet...otherwise the Fire is the best bang for the buck)
3. Buy an OTG connector for your tablet and a long USB cable.
4. Buy a decent length 1/8" plug cable to connect the tablet headphone out to the Marshall.
5. Get two apps: Songsterr and Audio Evolution Mobile studio (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.aemobile&hl=en and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.songsterr&hl=en)

So...the tablet, the apps, the amp, and the cables will set you back about $350 total, but what you'll have is a kickass little jam rig that you can record with.

The Audio Evolution app is a full-on DAW that allows you to mix and record on the tablet, and Songsterr has backing tracks and tabs for just about everything and it allows you to slow tempos, loop, etc. The DAW app recognizes the Marshall as a USB interface and allows you to record direct and monitors back out into the amp.

Plus, with the tablet headphone jack connected to the amp, you can play any YouTube or other backing track directly into the amp so you can play along with it.

You set the tablet on top of the amp on the case's stand and then sit in front of the amp and you can control everything right from there. Makes it stupidly easy to jam or learn new stuff.

I have been playing for nearly 30 years and have spent tens of thousands on recording gear and other junk to jam along with and, honestly, the above set-up is the easiest, cheapest, and most straight-forward setup I've ever had, and that includes a ton of Line 6 and other modeler stuff.

I've used this one before with some luck. It's a steep curve, but overall a pretty good app.

EDIT: I should mention there is a free and a paid app. i have only used the free version.

Not really. I've been looking for literally years and this is the best I can come up with:

Audio Evolution Mobile

Be interested if anybody else can find something.

The best general DAW for Android that I've encountered is easily Audio Evolution. They have a trial version so you can see if it meets your needs.

As far as going over Discord though, I've heard good things about Craig.

I use Audio Evolution Mobile on my phone. It supports USB microphones. I havent tried it on my Chromebook yet, but I'll try it later tonight to see if it works.

With the correct tablet and USB audio interface? Yes. Products like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.aemobile handle multitask recording and editing pretty well from the reviews I've seen. I have the stand alone recording app and it works decently enough. My big problem was running out of battery as you can't record and charge at the same time on my devices (without expensive adapters).

I've used Audio Evolution on my phone and tablet. track I made with AudioEvolution, and built-in mic on tablet. It uses soundfonts for the midi, but also does audio. It's also possible to use an external device for audio/midi via a usb2go cable, although I've never tried it. The demo is free, and full featured (it's crippled on save or export, I think). Audio Evolution in the Play store

SavingPrincess1 suggested FL12 mobile. If you've used FL Studio on a computer, this should be familiar. It's under $20(USD). I haven't tried it, but lots of people make impressive tracks with FL12. Checkout FL12 in the Play store

I've tried Caustic, but it didn't suit my needs. Think that demo is free, too.

Edit: Links

"Comparable to Garage Band" is a pretty high bar to clear. What you are looking for is a DAW (digital audio workstation) app, but ~~they~~ things that call themselves DAW's on the Appstore tend to come in 2 flavors:

1) super simple tap out a few notes on some presupplied midi instruments and then manipulate loops of notes

or

2) an actual professional DAW that just drops you in without a life jacket and expects you to know what the heck you are doing. This is what people who know what they are talking about are referring to as DAW's. Think Pro Tools.

Garage Band is one of the elusive exceptions that proves the rule. It falls nicely in the middle.

Any web search of "android audio app" will probably bring up thousands of #1's. Some decent looking examples of #2 would be apps like Audio Evolution or FL Studio

I don't have enough first hand experience with garage band to know how they would stack up exactly.

If you just want to record a guitar part, play it back, and maybe jam over it, or add a backing track, there are also much simpler 'multitrack recording' or '4 track recorder' apps that may be more your speed. Something like this

EDIT: I haven't used any of these apps. Just trying to throw some ideas out.

Get the tablet but also keep your laptop

You can look for music apps, but I'm not sure they would be optimized for tablets.Google is slowly but surely reentering the tablet market.Im not sure the apps would work the way you want it to. The only thing I can say is that android tablets have greater connectivity to your laptops' harddrive than ipad.

The only thing that seems like a problem is the music creation apps.I don't know any of these apps,they seem like the best on Google right now

These are the best, but you have to pay😬

You don't have to think about buying anyof these; there could be more, but research them and see if they fit your need

Never tried it myself, but should be possible at least with paid apps:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.aemobile lists a USB driver as additional in-app purchase that lists the katana as supported devices:

Also Cubase lists "Audio and Midi hardware support" - but who knows what that entails, but they offer a demo version that quits after 30 mins to check it out:

For what it's worth, to record on android with an XLR, this is the setup i used (and procured prior to quarantine, good luck finding it!)

Audio Evolution Mobile App on android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.aemobile - Yes it's paid, but it also has drivers to interface with a USB sound source.

USB-OTG cable - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FY9Z9GD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - It lets you plug USB things into your phone just like you can with your computer. These come in USB-C if that's your thing.

Interface - Focusrite 2i2 3rd gen- https://www.amazon.com/Focusrite-Scarlett-Audio-Interface-AMS-SCARLETT-2I2-3G/dp/B07QR73T66/ref=dp_ob_title_ce - An interface is where you plug your XLR mic in and get USB out that you can plug into your phone or computer. You have wiggle room here, but the focusrite scarlet are very well regarded, easy to use, and put out very good sound quality at the beginner level. The Beheringer HD interfaces also work well, but if you go below those, you start to lose sound quality and introduce pre-amp hiss.

For my mic, I like the ATR2005usb - https://www.amazon.com/Technica-AT2005USB-Handheld-Dynamic-Microphone/dp/B007JX8O0Y/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=at2005usb&qid=1588166751&sr=8-4 - It has a USB out, but i use the XLR whenever I can, but it's nice to have the USB option just in case.

From there, you can export the recorded audio from audio evolution via mixdown to edit in audacity or reaper on the pc, or i guess you "can" edit in evolution but poking at a phone for longer than a game of angry birds doesn't work for me..

Audio Evolution

Here are three possibilities, ordered from most to least interesting (IMHO):

• Audio Evolution Mobile Studio ($7)
• FL Studio Mobile ($20)
• n-Track Studio Multitrack Daw ($7)

I use an iPad to record my podcast so I don't have direct experience with these, but hopefully between reviews and trial versions this list can get you started.
