This developer really understands workflow. I can't recommend this app enough.

Audio & MIDI clips
Sketch your song on the grid. Arrange audio and MIDI clips in sections, manipulate them with copy, duplicate, merge, and drag-and-drop.
Sketch your song on the grid. Arrange audio and MIDI clips in sections, manipulate them with copy, duplicate, merge, and drag-and-drop.
Crop, stretch, fade, normalize, reverse, change pitch, and split audio clips—with automatic or manual preview.
Edit notes, build chords, and automate plugin parameters in a focused piano-roll editor.
Load AUv3 instruments and effects. Control parameters and presets, save default states, and mark plugins as favorites.
Arrange clips in sections with independent lengths. Launch every clip in a section at once—sections work as scene launchers.
Export clips as audio or MIDI. Export projects as Ableton Live sets. Record performances and export audio with stems.
Map your MIDI controller to transport, mixer, and more. Flexible mapping with shift keys to expand what your surface can do.

SAND does what Abledon't. If you miss plug-in hosting in Ableton Note, here's a whole app built around sequencing and recording your instrument plug-ins on iOS

Such a pleasure to just open the app, add an AUv3 instrument and get composing.

Sometimes it's the simplicity of an interface and the practicality of what you leave out of an app that makes it far easier and more enjoyable to create on.

For this price with such functionality this is the best daw for me at the moment.
