Fender Studio Tablet App quick review.

OK.
Quick review of this app.
What you hear is a bunch of virtual instruments and samples from Logic Pro that I exported all clean.
Imported the tracks in the Fender app and added FX, set levels and double tracked some tracks.
Did some track editing and added in some fades.
All in all a nice app, would be a great ‘notebook’ tool to use for more experienced DAW users or a good ‘I’ve never used a DAW before app’.
Work flow is nice and simple but it just records/edits tracks, no midi or synths.
It’s a good app but if you’re use to an app like Logic Pro it’s not going to replace it.
Max tracks 16.
There is an assortment of effects, but I think Fenders focus was simplicity and quality over quantity.
Handful of different effects for bass, guitar and vocals that sound pretty good.
Global delay and verb sends on each track.
Simple comp and 3 band EQ with high pass on every track.
Laying down tracks or importing them is easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Have any questions feel free to ask. I think I’ve figured out how most of it works but it’s a fun app and I going to play around with a bit more.
Cheers.

This is essentially a watered-down version of Studio One, so it makes sense. Good review!
Thanks.
I’m going to eventually try out Studio One. I have the free version from buying the Mustang Micro Plus. It’s just such a huge download on my Mac, over 100gig, if I want to download the whole thing.

Back on topic.
I would highly recommend the Fender Studio for any one that’s just getting into DAWs for laying down tracks or anyone looking for a DAW that just keeps things simple.
I’ve been enjoying using it recently because it forces me to approach things in a different way and I spend way less time playing around with plugins, and more time actually arranging songs.
