Leave a Review Impact by Focusrite
Broken!
This app just constantly requests that I turn my iPhone 6s+ on iOS 9.2
Constantly and don't even allow me to record anythingRichardbrennan
Great app, but slow on exporting or sharing
Best advise airdrop or the app will take a while to render for exportG.T.Hayes
So much potential...
1) Why can't I import a video I already shot? This would probably bring the review instantly to 4 stars, as the functionality this app offers would be highly useful to me as a simple way to shape the audio for a video I've already recorded.
2)Totally not optimized for iPhone 7+ (or 6+, or 6S+). This would bring me up to a fifth star in a heartbeat.
I haven't even used any of the actual editing features (didn't get that far, as the very basic functionality of the app didn't work for me), but I know Focusrite, and I'm confident that it sounds great! If they would allow me to import videos already in my camera roll, I'd be a MUCH happier camper!Show lesschrisbas99
Absolute Rubbish
Doesn't work at All on my iPhone 5C so I can't use the Itrack Pocket.... fix the app.!!!rebel redneck
**Please make volume button a record button
This is the only app I could find that successfully has reverb you can mix into your video for vocals and is super easy. I have a request. **** Please set the record button to the volume button like the iphone camera has for a shortcut. I have a bluetooth camera switch and it doesn't work because you disabled the button to only do volume adjusting. It'll make recording video so much easier because I won't have to touch the phone that's on the tripod which can change the shot angle.Show lessJoey Infurchia
Disappointed with Focusrite
First of all, I love Focusrite's equipment for audio recording on non-mobile devices. Their interfaces and preamps for DAW's are available for every budget, they are reliable, and at times, they are the best in their class. I own two audio interfaces by Focusrite at the moment. One is my go-to except I just purchased the Apollo Duo so that may change, but only if Apollo lives up to my expectations that have been determined are from utilizing Focusrite gear. Now with that said, this app is a disappointment. I left a not so great review on another outlet online, which I did change after getting it to work properly, but someone for the company contacted me with a bunch of different suggestions on what I'm doing wrong, but my suggestion to you, Focusrite, the bottom line is its been over 2 years since you've updated this app. I feel like I'm doing too much work just to use the app. I was using iOS 8.3 when suddenly the amp simulators disappeared. I have plenty of storage available, and I'm sure it's something that MUST be my fault, so I upgraded the iOS, I uninstalled the app, I reinstalled the app, I made sure the itrack pocket was plugged in, after all that, not only are the amp simulators are gone, but now the ground noise is God awfully loud. I have zero fans or any noisemakers running in my room I record in. This isn't ok. One of the reasons I really liked this device, was for the amp simulators. If you guys actually updated this app, I would've bought the version for iPad. I've almost purchased it a few times, but because the app has been neglected and it's been troublesome, I think I'll stick to Shure for mobile devices, and Focusrite I will continue to use in the Mac book. If the simulators worked and the floor noise lessened, this would've been the perfect plug n play for us musicians getting our videos out there. Thank god for the Shure Motive88. Just in case ppl are wondering, yes you can do video with it. The Shure app saves your microphone settings to use in all other video applications. It also has phantom power. If you guys do ever update the app, I'll eagerly check it out since hoping it'll one day be usable again.Show lessSaral198433
My go-to video app
While there's a million video apps in the App Store, almost all of them are variations on the same thing. Impact is different. While it's supposed to be paired with Focusrite hardware, it isn't necessary.
Personally, I take a line out of a mixing board and, through an interface, video record the performance. Board recordings are notoriously dry but impact allows me to add room ambiance (and some compression if needed). The result is the clarity of a board recording but with the ambience of a live room without the hassle of an external mic. Also, a nice feature is that when cropping, I can do so by the audio waveform. This makes things quicker for me. No other app does these basic things.
I feel like they're sitting on a goldmine of a unique video app that has the sound come first, whereas most video apps, it's just an afterthought.
The downside is that Impact only records in 720. Not a deal breaker, but higher resolutions would be very welcome. I use this app weekly and so far been very stable.Show lessBB92647
Waste of time
Terrible software. Useless. No sound. No meaningful control. Totally regret wasting the money on the hardware. Focus rite completely failed on this one to the point that it makes me leery of the higher end "real" recording equipment. This was a disrespectful joke.Harpnslide
Disappointing no update since Oct 2014
The iTrack pocket is a great little recording device with Impact for recording songs with guitar and vocals. But, what lets it down big time is the fact that there has been no updates for the Impact App since Oct 2014 and there is no support for Bluetooth headphones. Not sure if I should trust this App will work correctly being so out of date. The recording device still sells and gets good reviews, not sure why the Impact App has not been updated for so long.Show lessAndydo
Crashing
I love focusrite gear, but this app is crashing when opening it, therefore one star. I'll update the stars when they update their app.Potter B the Dog
