Ableton Note App Reviews

This is the most valuable app for any ableton user or writer on the go. It’s versatility knows no bounds. Not only is it great for writing, but even using it as a field sampler, and having your samples already edited and organized in drum racks to export is so useful! I do wish there was a step sequencer to use when your working with a Bluetooth delay.

Very cool to get ideas down from scratch and easily transfer to studio. One annoying thing is that it won’t output into my car speakers, but outputs audio to my navigation speakers. Thought it had to do with the microphone being on but after turning it off, same thing happening. Not sure if it’s a vehicle issue or software.

Until you can Warp Audio, Hip Hop and R&B producers are limited to full expression. FL Mobile and Logic Mobile have this. It’s the only reason I keep them on my IPAD. Once you add this…OMG!!! Please consider adding this function ASAP. I mean, ABLETON is known for it’s audio manipulation…Let’s Gooooooo!

Don’t need or want Ableton, in its totality, on my phone. I want to jot down ideas, explore melodies, sketch out beats. This app is very cool, especially for the low price and the ability to open these little ideas into the larger desktop program.

Something is happening. First I have to say, as a person who doesn’t have the money to afford a computer, Ableton Note has been the one musical app to scratch my creative itch. It’s amazing. HOWEVER, lately my ideas haven’t been getting saved automatically. I worked on a project for more than an hour and as I tried to rename it to send to my band, the app wouldn’t allow me to make the name change. Did I mention that it did not save all of my hard work? I was so distraught! I don’t know if it’s m

I’ve played with many different iPhone music making apps over the past 10+ years I’ve been producing music. Of course nothing can replace a full fledged DAW on your desktop, but this comes about as close as you can get without it getting too cluttered. Maybe an iPad allows even more complex apps like Logic to function well on mobile, but on an iPhone, Ableton wins with this one. And they keep improving it. Starting a project on here is super fun, and then syncing it to Ableton’s free cloud to im

the gradual and subtle updates have made such a difference i am really enjoying this app it's not full Ableton Live, but it does have the power to get your tracks started and for some people it can work to make a full instrumental that is ready to be published i used with Airpods and quanitize, cuz there is bluetooth latency... but get yourself a headphone adapter and wired headphones and have fun playing your music! Transferring projects from Note to Live is simple. I don't use the cloud, i

I really like what the app is trying to do, and I appreciate that it is more focus on quick ideas. Though, I really would like to be able to edit the individual Mitty notes. Sometimes the timing does not work well when I try to use quantization, so it would be useful to be able to move the specific note into the correct location. This would be an update. I would really appreciate to use, and would make me use the app almost almost all the time.

Amaizing! Please keep the updates going! In a few flights and couch potatoing I bang 16 great beats. This is the best notes a music producer could have on their pockets. More sounds needed, but love the stock choices. Time signature change needed asap, we are not all techno heads here :)

Best app BUT PLEASE ADD JUST MICROPHONE RECORDER WITHOUT SAMPLER to write vocal tracks on the go without flights to mars with sampler!

Software is amazing but needed some time stretch and a arranger view it would be great

I just request that we can be able to monitor audio with the effects in real time

This is a great app it work fine, but need more options like copy, paste media files and import files

This is the best music app on iOS, hands down. It’s clear there was a lot of careful thought and consideration put into how it was done. Obviously even better if you own Ableton too but you can make some pretty expansive stems on Note as standalone. I’d like to see some more instruments and effects but otherwise this is one of the best reasons to have an iPhone right now. Great work Ableton ♥️

Once this app has support for midi sustain input and record, it’ll be a 5 star app for me. Everything else works so well. The right integration with the desktop app is fantastic. The sampler could be a bit more sophisticated as it needs the ability to warp samples that can then be mapped to keys and pitched without time issues.

For a paid app by Ableton themselves i was really expecting for updates by now.

I’ve messed around with many saws made for mobile, garage band, FL Studios, and they all have too much going on for a small screen. That is where Ableton note excels at here. This app is optimized for mobile and the best thing to mess around with on the go. The only thing I wish was possible is using my external instrumental like I can with Garage Band.

I’ve been waiting for a mobile version of Ableton for a loooooong time!!! Not quite there yet , but this is a good start. It needs a sample slice function, a mobile version of the simpler . Note is an awesome start for a mobile app from Ableton!!!

Needs better click commands and non live edits

Missing a serious feature to be able to edit start and end point of samples?

Hi, I bought this app thinking I had the ability to detune samples but it seems you can only do that on the drums so I’ll be asking for a refund. However if you don’t care about that, it’s a pretty compact app and the ability to upload to Ableton is convenient. With that said, iOS apps have been around for almost a decade so it’s not that special but it’s solid nonetheless

Been makin beats for almost 10 years always love tryin to make something in my phone but after a week just wasn’t fun or just hard to record but ableton note after this app I had to download the d.a.w and I just want to say thank you worth every penny and then some thank u guys for helping me take my music to the next level 🦾🦾🦾 @808Bot_Beats

Note to Cloud to Ableton

super fun and right in my pocket when wanna start a new project - been a Live user for a very long time! Nice work Abelton!!

Ableton live in your pocket. Making a clip has muscle memory to it. Refreshing and tedious.

New, innovative, every adjective you can associate with Ableton. I’m an Ableton lifer, and this is especially good for its regulars, as it is a great way to start scratch projects. However, the most frustrating thing on the planet as a musician is having your work erased. I recommend not using cloud until this is fixed.

the 2 things that are keeping this from 5 stars are: -no piano roll (i don’t wanna have to play everything live sometimes, and i should be able to edit my midi sequences with some degree of granularity) -can’t import my own drum racks (i’d love to make some funky breakbeat stuff but unfortunately in order to do that i have to manually chop and import samples which is very time consuming and makes the creation process so much more frustrating)

Yea this app is great but please please add a step sequencer.

I take back what I said. I have gotten a lot better at not hitting the delete button accidentally… some practice with it pays off. I love this app. Yes it is limited, and yes that is the beauty of it. The way it forces you to write things relatively “on-time” is such a chop builder imo. Thank you so much P.s. chance mod would be 🔥📈

Nice start with this app. UI is pretty intuitive. It would be super nice to be able to edit note lengths, and have a slightly visible grid that allows a user to line up notes relative to beat times, this is super useful when nudging and fixing notes.
