This paper documents the installation, features, and preservation strategies for older versions of Audio Evolution Mobile Studio (AEMS), a mobile digital audio workstation (DAW) for Android and iOS. It covers installation methods for legacy APKs/IPA, dependencies and compatibility issues, license restoration, plugin handling (VST/AudioUnit via bridging), file-format compatibility, troubleshooting, and legal/ethical considerations. This aims to help researchers, archivists, and producers reproduce workflows on historical mobile software safely and reproducibly.
