Auxy Studio vs Beat Shaper

Auxy Studio is an iOS and macOS app for making beats and electronic music, from initial sketches to complete tracks. Users draw notes to build melodies and drum patterns, then arrange loops. 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 sound-shaping options. Tracks can be exported as audio, stems, MIDI, or project files for Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and Studio One; finished tracks can also be uploaded to SoundCloud. A 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 users 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.

Beat Shaper is a browser-based AI music-production tool for electronic music producers. It turns plain-language prompts into editable multitrack MIDI loops, including drums, basslines, synth parts, and arrangements. Users can adjust genre, mood, and energy with sliders, then edit notes, beats, and synthesizer parameters in the browser. Listed styles include Techno, House, Acid, Drum & Bass, Hip-Hop, and Trance. Exports depend on the plan: Starter includes MP3 downloads; Creator adds MIDI and WAV; Producer also includes Ableton Live project export, a Max4Live device, and real-time MIDI output. The maker lists compatibility with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, and FL Studio. Starter is free for personal, non-commercial use and limits songs to 32 MIDI Clips. Creator costs €9 a month and Producer costs €28 a month; both include commercial usage rights and unlimited song lengths. Paid subscriptions renew monthly and can be cancelled anytime, with paid features lasting through the current billing period.
