Auxy Studio

Overview

Auxy Studio is a beat-making and electronic music app for iOS and macOS. It suits creators who want to build tracks from drawn notes and loops, then shape and export them. Its strongest case is a focused route from patterns to finished tracks; the free plan’s demo-only sounds make full access a paid commitment.

Key features

From patterns to tracks

Users draw notes to create melodies and drum patterns, then arrange loops into full tracks. This pattern-first workflow gives beat makers a clear way to develop ideas without centering the process on a traditional keyboard. MIDI support adds flexibility for working with musical material, though the app’s defining approach remains drawing and arranging patterns.

Sounds and sound shaping

Thousands of instruments and drum hits provide a substantial palette, while sample imports allow custom kits and melodic sounds. Reverb, delay, distortion, and automation tools help shape those sounds. The trade-off is meaningful: free users get only demo sounds, so the broad sound selection is chiefly a reason to subscribe.

Export and sharing

Auxy can export high-quality audio, stems, MIDI, and native project files for Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and Studio One. That range makes it useful beyond quick sketches, particularly for producers who want to continue work in those environments. Direct SoundCloud uploads offer a separate route for sharing completed tracks.

Pricing

Auxy uses a freemium model. The Free plan costs free and includes a selection of demo sounds. It is a way to explore the workflow, but the demo-only sound selection limits its appeal for anyone who needs the full library.

The Monthly Subscription costs $5.99 a month and unlocks everything. It fits users who want full access without making a longer commitment. The Yearly Subscription costs $49.99 a year and also unlocks everything; it is the lower-cost route over a year for someone prepared to subscribe annually. Both paid plans have the same stated access, so the choice is billing term rather than feature set.

The App Store listing offers a 7-day free trial to unlock everything. That gives prospective subscribers a short window to assess the paid feature set before choosing a plan.

Platforms

Auxy Studio is available on iOS and macOS. It is a fit for users working on Apple platforms, but not for someone seeking an Android, Windows, or Linux version.

Who it's for

Auxy says its audience ranges from first-time beat makers to touring artists and professional producers. The drawn-note and loop-arrangement workflow is especially suitable for people who want a direct way to build electronic tracks, while its sample imports, sound shaping, MIDI, and project exports give more experienced producers useful ways to extend that process. It is less compelling for anyone unwilling to pay for access beyond demo sounds.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Drawing notes and arranging loops provides a focused path from patterns to full tracks.
• Pros: Sample import, sound-shaping tools, MIDI, stems, and project exports support both customization and onward production.
• Pros: The yearly subscription unlocks everything for $49.99 a year, with the same stated access as the monthly plan.
• Cons: The free plan is restricted to demo sounds, so it is limited as a long-term option for users seeking the full sound selection.
• Cons: It is limited to iOS and macOS, excluding users who need other platforms.

Alternatives

For a wider platform choice, including Android, Linux, Windows, and macOS, consider Koala Sampler. Choose Giada if free, open-source GPL software on Linux, macOS, or Windows is the priority. MilkyTracker is another free option for users on Linux, macOS, or Windows, with optional donations.

Serato Studio may suit Windows users or macOS users who prefer a desktop beat-making option with a free tier; its free version is feature-limited, with selected sound packs, one audio track, four decks, four scenes, and limited recording. For free beat-making software on macOS or Windows, consider MPC Beats. DAWG is an alternative across Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows. Endlesss is another option across iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. If a larger sample-library offering is more important, Remixlive has a Premium plan at $9.99 a month that includes a 26,000+ sample library, all available and future features, and one new Sample Pack each week.

Verdict

Auxy Studio is a strong fit for beat makers who want to turn drawn patterns and loops into complete electronic tracks, with sound shaping, sample imports, and exports for several production tools. The main reason to choose it is that connected workflow; the main reason to look elsewhere is the subscription required for full access, especially if demo sounds are not enough or you need a platform beyond iOS and macOS.
