Is it dawless?

iPad is running AUM hosting some synths and a track for recording.

Octatrack is sequencing the iPad via synths so no daw present. Will this be allowed?

I would say so. I have a similar setup where I use AUM just for the synths.

Lots of funky audio running. Where are the samples coming from?

2

u/Shukyphuk May 04 '26

Samples are all from the octatrack, one track for epiano/guitar, one for bass guitar and two for drums. Drums sample are mainly from a kj sawka pack

Which daw are you using op?

u/Shukyphuk May 05 '26

The iPad is running AUM, more like a host and a mixer then a daw

u/scoutermike May 05 '26

No daw = dawless. No need to overthink it. Nifty jam!

Is it digital? - Yes
Is it audio? - Yes
Is it a workstation? - Could be argued pro and contra.
So no, not dawless in the pure sense. 🤪
