The developer mentioned possibly $49 on the KRV forum earlier.  Too bad I just got an iPod Touch :-( .

Just been released. $49.99. http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2012/07/16/auria-48-track-audio-recorder-for-ipad/

How many phantom-powered mics will an iPad drive?

I see FabFilter & PSP plugins listed at low price points i.e. Pro-Q for $19.99.
I wonder how they compare to the regular plugin versions or is it a per session fee?

I was wondering what the Fabfilter plugins would cost.  I went on the FF site but could not find any reference to IPad versions.  So, are they going to charge $19.99 for those that already own the plugins?  We pay for the plugins, they come in several cross platform versions:  au, vst, vst 3 Rtas, so why would we pay extra for the IPad version?  I think if we own the plugin that we should get upgrades for other platforms as they become available.  I get the au and rtas but don't use them.  I know, I know... I am just being stubborn.  Anyway I don't own the IPad, but still if I already have the FF plugins, shouldn't it be an upgrade to my account?  Just venting.

bitflipper,
I had done some work using the Alesis iO Dock and it has a coupl eof phantom powered inputs.
Also I tried using my PreSonus AudioBox VSL22 and again only two mic inputs.

The thing about the iPad's is the class compliant USB architecture.  This is accomplished through the camera connection kit.  You also need to use a powered USB hub to connect the USB audio interface and depending on the number of inputs the interface has that will be what shows up in the DAW.  This I know for a fact is true in my experience using Harmonic Dog's Multitrack DAW App.

It will be interesting to see exactly how far they can really push it.

As the replacement for the old-school "porta-studio" I think this is pretty cool.

For more serious work, I just don't see the practical side.  The power of a fast desktop dwarfs most laptops... let alone tablets.  I don't know about everyone else, but I can't imagine taking a 5+ year step backward in processing power.

I don't think anyone would replace their set up w/ an iPad and Aura.

And if people get onboard w/ this application, one of the first thing I would expect to see is users asking for a desktop version, so that they can further tweak and finalize their work.

Auria supports AAF to export your projects to any app which has AAF support.

Maybe - But I've got a drummer friend that doesn't have any recording setup and wants to start recording his band live.  He has an iPad already, so all he needs is this software and a usb audio interface and he can start recording.  So he starts at the ground floor with this setup.  He can always use a Desktop if he needs a bigger screen or more functionality.  I wouldn't be surprised if this company would come out with a Desktop version that would include more functionality in the future. 
 
I can see a lot of first time users starting on this platform.
