Caustic App Reviews

I dont write many reviews but I feel that caustic deserves my time and praise. There are many great things but I will try to focus on just a few. 1. it sounds great and is very stable even when pushing lots of tracks on my ipad 2. 2. It has the best, most usable workflow of any DAW Ive tried, and Ive tried many. 3. It has great compatibility with Audiobus and Audioshare and is capable of owing all of my old soundfonts I made in the sound blaster days. 4. This for me was huge. If you just take some time to watch all of the tutorial videos the creative potential is completely unlocked. Whether you are experienced with synths and daws or are new to all of this, these very comprehensive instructions will have you understanding the process and making music in no time. I cant emphasize enough how great it is to have solid instruction for use of an app. So few developers take the time to make this many videos. Bravo Caustic team.

This is a great app that is quite easy to use. The synths are not super deep as far as editing, but they sound great. Fun when you want to lay down a quick sequence. Fun to use.

i have tried almost every iOS pro audio app, and of the stand alone units i find this to be the most user friendly, best sounding and positive for workflow. highly recommended.

I could not do much with it in the first 30 minutes of learning it, I have a short attention span I admit, but how many of those who reviewed this app actually tried to record a song from scratch. Id doubt the demos were recorded and edited with the app.

I echo most of the comments here. I own NanoStudio, FL Studio, Beatmaker 2, and several other music apps. I also used Reason, Live , and Sonar. Caustic is flat out one of the best software DAWs I have worked with on PC, Mac, and IOS! If you are a fan of Propellerheads Reason software you will feel right at home with Caustic. Caustics sound quality is excellent. The wealth of presets are stellar. Getting new sounds into it via sampling, importing, Audiobus, etc. is easy and awe inspiring. The synthesis options are vast and some of the best on iOS! Modular in particular opens up new worlds of sound creation and sound stacking. The sequencer is terrific for creating both patterns and songs quickly. The finished song mix sounds professional thanks to well coded effects that can be applied as inserts or globally. Best of all the developer has found a way to provide an incredible arsenal of synths, samplers, and effects that use a fraction of the CPU used by apps half as powerful. Just an awesome musical app that makes my IPhone a serious and complete music production tool. If I was on an island and could only have one music app to play with, this would be a contender for the app I would choose. Lastly, reviewing the excellent tutorials is a must to get the most out of Caustic.

Best music app on the App Store!!!

If you want a single, pattern-based environment to produce in (but dont feel like tracking), Caustic is for you! Dont hesitate. Rej is a fantastic dev, Caustic sounds great and is easy to use, and hes put up a bunch of YouTube tutorial vids. Enjoy!

This is simply the best implemented sequencer app on iOS. The instrument quality is superb and everything works better than I expected. Export is a little buggy, so no five stars, but without a doubt worth every cent and the first one you should bury.

Navigation is like a maze ...and the modular synth crashes the app. Plus many of the synths are boring and have a very digital sound .the sequencer wants you to understand quantized value in notation.(awesome if your not able to read music or if this is your first all in one app)The demos were written on multiple screens not the iPad! There are so many daws that put this to shame ! Why bother?this apps fan club for this are wrong ! Designed for people who love the extra three steps per event. Go figure. Christo

I reviewed this product because there was no reviews and I thought I might as well give somebody my opinion about the app. Its great. hands down, the best music app on the market as of now for IOS. Beats GarageBand by a long shot...

By far Caustic is the "sleeper" app of the century, garage band is good no doubt, but Caustic is on a whole different level in terms of ease of use, automation, control and sound library.

I have tried several of these "all-in-one" music sequencing apps, including GarageBand and Korg Gadget. IMHO, Caustic is the best one Ive tried so far. It has an extremely diverse and usable set of synthesizers. There is only one drum machine, but it too has a very diverse set of kits, including a couple of really "different" ones (Latin, congas, tablas, coffee can!). The whole app seems to have been very well thought out to provide lots of capability as well as ease of use. And, it looks like everything in the mixer, effects, and most synth settings can be automated! Not only that, but the documentation, tutorial videos, and manual are extremely well done and understandable. This app would be incredible at 5X the price. Im going to be exploring this one for a LONG time...

Instructional videos are great as well. Lets see more reviews to support the developer and this great app.

This is more a "user review" than not. It has been several months using it on a near daily event. I am wanting some cool presets. These are hidden in all the tweaking. On surface most are gurgles and bleeps. A few real sounding instruments. So your satisfaction using this will depend on ones ability to coax the sounds you want. We need a video of some sonic possibilities and how to go from start to finish. Are there sound packages? Drums, leads, guitar? Ambient sound textures, pink floyd atmospheres? ?

This app is fantastic. Looks and sounds great and very intuitive to use. If youre hesitant, try the Win/OSX version first.

Caustic is an all in one music production app. Im floored at how powerful and simple this is to lay down a track. This just makes so much sense. Caustic allows you to the freedom and ease of use to put together some tunes. Its tech that doesnt get in the way of creativity. Caustic ties several synths, sequencer, mastering, mixing, sampling together in a seamless powerful package. Plus its not a memory hog like Korg Gadgets. Get this!

Every aspect of Caustic is dialed in and both accommodating to a new user and wide open for advanced operations. In addition its streamlined and can run quite a lot of processes without a hiccup on an iPad 2. I just got it because it sounded great and spent the first night shaking my head in awe trying to figure out how this came to be. Unreal

Amazing synths, effects, UI, aesthetics, automation, workstation. Cant believe how much work the developers put into this.

Bluetooth stereo headsets! Hopefully a version is on the way.

Watch the tutorial videos. They are great. Now make some music
