Auxy Studio

Auxy Studio is a music and beat-making app for creating electronic music, from initial sketches to finished tracks, on iOS and macOS. Users draw notes to build melodies and drum patterns, then arrange loops into full compositions. The app offers thousands of instruments and drum hits, and imported samples can be used for custom kits and melodic sounds. Reverb, delay, distortion, and automation tools provide ways to shape sounds. Finished tracks can be exported as high-quality audio, stems, MIDI, or project files for Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and Studio One; users can also upload directly to SoundCloud. The free plan includes a selection of demo sounds, and a 7-day free trial unlocks everything. The Monthly Subscription costs $5.99 a month, while the Yearly Subscription costs $49.99 a year; both unlock everything. Auxy AB says it has made the app since 2014 and describes its users as ranging from first-time beat makers to touring artists and professional producers. Apple’s listing says the developer may collect coarse location, user ID, and product interaction data for analytics not linked to the user.

Auxy Studio offers a note-and-loop workflow with sample import, sound-shaping tools, and several export formats. The free tier is limited to demo sounds; unlocking everything requires a subscription after or instead of the trial.

Auxy Studio suits people making electronic music who want to sketch melodies and beats, arrange loops, and export tracks or project files. Its stated audience ranges from first-time beat makers to touring artists and professional producers.

Overview

Auxy Studio is a beat-making and electronic music app for iOS and macOS. Its note-drawing and loop-arranging workflow suits people who want to build tracks from patterns, whether they are starting out or producing professionally. The broad sound palette and project exports make it useful beyond quick sketches, but the free plan’s demo-only sounds limit how far it can take a no-cost user.

Key features

Build tracks from patterns

Draw notes to make melodies and drum patterns, then arrange loops into full tracks. This gives creators a direct path from a musical idea to an arrangement, and MIDI support adds another way to work with musical material. The pattern-first approach is a strong fit for beat making; anyone looking for a different kind of music-production workflow may prefer another tool.

Shape the sound

Thousands of instruments and drum hits offer a wide starting palette, and sample import lets users build custom kits or bring in melodic sounds. Reverb, delay, distortion, and automation tools provide ways to shape the result. The free plan includes only demo sounds, so the sound library is a paid benefit rather than a lasting strength of the free tier.

Export and share

Auxy exports high-quality audio, stems, MIDI, and native project files for Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and Studio One. That makes it a practical choice for producers who want to carry a project into one of those environments. Finished tracks can also be uploaded directly to SoundCloud.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing and includes a selection of demo sounds. It offers a way to explore the workflow, but the demo-only library is a substantial limit for anyone building tracks around Auxy’s broader selection of instruments and drum hits.

The Monthly Subscription costs $5.99 a month and unlocks everything. The Yearly Subscription costs $49.99 a year and also unlocks everything. The monthly option suits users who want full access without an annual commitment; the yearly plan costs less over a year than twelve monthly payments, making it the lower-cost choice for someone expecting to use the app regularly.

The App Store listing offers a 7-day free trial that unlocks everything. The trial is a short way to assess the paid sound library and workflow before subscribing; check the subscription terms in the App Store when starting it.

Platforms

Auxy Studio is available for iOS and macOS, making it relevant to creators working on Apple devices. Users can export projects for Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and Studio One, as well as audio, stems, and MIDI.

Who it's for

Auxy says its users range from first-time beat makers to touring artists and professional producers. The combination of drawn patterns, sample import, sound-shaping tools, and export options gives newcomers a clear way to assemble tracks while supporting a route into more involved production. It is less compelling for anyone who needs a full sound library without paying or does not work on iOS or macOS.

Pros and cons

Verdict

Auxy Studio is a strong fit for beat makers on iOS or macOS who want to draw patterns, arrange loops, shape sounds, and move finished work into audio or supported production projects.

Look elsewhere if demo-only sounds are not enough and a subscription does not fit, or if you need a platform beyond Apple devices.
