  Be aware of the cloud syncing

  Make sure you open the correct version of your track on the right device before syncing deletes your new project with an older version. Screwed up projects by opening older sets. Was digging a track I was working on a while back. Listened to it earlier in the day on my iPhone, then decided after work that I wanted to work on it that same project again but from the iPad instead. When I opened the project it was an older state and was confused so I linked WiFi and when I opened the project from my iPhone it synced with the older project because I had just opened it and linked to the the internet. Damn I hope there’s a way to view various renditions of projects because that sucks if all my work just got erased from a stupid error like not opening the correct one first. How many projects has this happened with I think now.

  Купил эту шляпу в надежде получить удобный клевый мобильный инструмент для создания музона, но увы.

  Миди редактор здесь действительно неплохой, с ним работать приятно, эффекты тоже неплохие, но всего два слота под них че то не особо радуют. Сэмплирование очень тупое и ограниченное. Нормального стретчинга с подгонкой под бпм почти нет, из за этого когда питчишь кусок он либо замедляется либо ускоряется, растягивать и подгонять сэмплы нормально невозможно. Из-за этого живые записи и сэмплы звучат криво, а творческий процесс сильно страдает. Лучше переплатить за коалу семплер или ваще ву202 бесплатный скачать, там семплить конечно не сильно удобнее, но удобнее и проще, да и функционал больше. Обидно, что программой которая довольно давно существует в магазине приложений тупо не занимаются.

  Drift Restore Purchase Bug Persist

  Once the in-app purchase for Drift is made, you have to constantly restore the purchase. If you are away from wifi or cellular data, it shows as if you haven't bought Drift. Then after restoring the purchase, the bug persists occasionally, but often. I already reached out to support via email months ago. They said that is not the way it's supposed to go. They said you do not need internet to keep using Ableton Note or the Drift in-app purchase once you have made the purchase. I don't always want to be connected to the internet, plus if you are on vacation and you don't have internet everywhere you are going, then the Drift in-app purchase bug is not acceptable. Other than that, Ableton Note is EXCELLENT, but it will take some time to trust that i can use Ableton Note & the Drift in-app purchase offline. They still have not fixed it and it's been a bug that has persisted for months & with other people too. That's not acceptable.

  Wow! From a big mobile studio user

  Im a huge mobile music studio user and I gotta say that I love what Ableton has done with Note. They’re definitely carving out their own niche in the game. 6/23/26 Best version ever! The scrolling instrument menu at the top of the current instrument allows users to choose established tracks without having to back out of the presented instrument view…big time saver.

  Sometime I use this app while using the toilet and I end up with the residual material dry making it harder to clean.

  A Five Star Experience With A Glaring Issue

  A melodic rhythm struck me late into the evening, computer powered down and bed calling, but I had to jot it fast or it’d be gone with the wind—Ableton Note’s (reasonably priced) selling point. So I purchased the app, impressed with the sounds and options for creativity except… the rhythm in my head was in 5/4. I’ve scoured the internet, searched Note’s manual, and yes sure I can switch the met off and play it but I needed to see it in a grid to understand the counter rhythm to the beat. Changing the time signature is like surely the most basic function a DAW can perform so I’m still questioning myself, wondering if I’m overlooking something obvious—flabbergasting nonetheless when I can choose from every scale known to humankind for the digital instruments but there isn’t a little dropdown menu in the metronome tab for different times. Hope to update this to five stars soon if Ableton can correct this.

  This was my favorite app, now midi stopped working

  For the longest time this worked flawless with external midi keyboard, then suddenly midi functionality seams to stopped working. I tried a different keyboard, still not working, however my controller works perfectly fine in garage band. Not sure why this functionality stopped working….
