## What is Ferrite Recording Studio?

Ferrite is the award-winning app you need for creating podcasts, radio journalism, or other professional voice production work — lectures, speeches, voice-overs and more.

It combines the ease-of-use of a “voice memo” audio recorder, with a versatile multi-track editing studio. Powerful tools like effects and automation are available when you need them. With time-saving features and a UI designed to get out of your way, people around the world are switching to Ferrite.


— Streamlined Recording —

Open Ferrite and with just one tap you’re recording. No fuss, and it won't break a sweat even with hours-long sessions. Just make sure your device has enough free space!

Recording an interview and you want to highlight a few quotes? Have to take out some inappropriate language? Or just fluffed a sentence and need to fix it? Bookmark moments during your recording and they’ll be flagged up during edits, so you can jump right to them.

Monitor levels with live recording meters, or listen through headphones. Tag your audio to find it quickly later. And of course you can import audio from your Music Library, iCloud, and other services such as Dropbox.

Please note: the free version has limited duration for recording & editing projects. Upgrade to Pro and you can edit projects up to 24 hours long!


— Editing is a Snip —

Ferrite features full multi-track editing, from quick cuts, to producing a complete podcast or broadcast package. Zoom out to see hours at a glance, or zoom in all the way down to individual samples.

Take a single clip, or a bunch, and arrange them in an editing project: move, crop, slice, fade in and out, or crossfade between clips just by overlapping them. You have full control over each track’s volume and panning, and can Mute or Solo as needed.

And best of all, you needn’t fear trying out changes: Ferrite has great Undo/Redo — even if you quit the app and come back a month later, you can still undo all the way back to the moment you created your project!


— Advanced Features —

Need more? Ferrite also includes:

• Automatic ducking: set tracks to “duck under” others (e.g. ducking music behind voiceovers).
• Strip Silence: Carves away all the silent sections from a recording, making it easy to edit the remaining audio.
• (iPad only) Split View and Slide Over support: Use Ferrite side-by-side with other apps. Recording a narration? Open another app with your script and place Ferrite down the side of the screen. Or open the User Guide in Safari on one side while you learn Ferrite on the other.

With a single In-App Purchase, you can unlock many additional tools, including:

• Preview at up to 2× speed
• Prepare your audio for production with Noise Reduction and Auto Levelling.
• Add professional effects to your tracks such as EQ, Noise Gate and Dynamic Range Compression, for projects that sound clean and engaging.
• Automate volume, panning and effects settings so they vary over time, both on individual tracks and the final mix.
• Tighten Audio can automatically take out awkward pauses and gaps.
• Producing a podcast or series? Create a template to get each new episode off to a flying start.
• Add cover art, chapters and more.
• Found the perfect settings for an effect or tool? Save them as a Preset for re-use in other projects.
• Audio Unit Extensions: if you have other apps installed that provide effects as Audio Unit Extensions, they’ll show up in Ferrite, where you can add them to tracks or projects.
• Advanced search, smart folders, and template folders.

### 5/5 — This app deserves more attention and love

*2026-06-30, version 3.2.5*

Had this app for many years now, really happy with it and everyone always says recordings sound good as I record my band practises with this. Excellent worth getting.

### 5/5 — Lightweight and Convenient and Totally Useful

*2026-06-12*

It's lightweight and very convenient for creating multi-track mixes on the go without needing to take out my laptop every time. The Shortcuts Bar is a really nice touch. Love it. 

My Suggestions:
[Needed for smooth workflow]
I instinctively look for the Play/Pause Button at the top like in Hokusai, and keep missing it. It would also help if the button could be made larger, similar to Hokusai.

[Optional but still desired] 
It would be nice if the multi-track editor used the same accent colour as the library interface. Using it in Dark Mode, the standard sky blue looks better than the tinted yellow. 

[Combined suggestion]
On that note, adding a UI setting  for buttons placement (top or bottom) and accent/background colour adjustment would also be a welcome addition.

For now the free version meets my requirement. I will definitely purchase the upgrades in the near future for the automation and advanced features as one-time payment is always my preference over subscription models. 

Thank you so much.

### 1/5 — Horrible audio quality

*2026-05-07, version 3.2.5*

The audio quality of recordings is awful. Very tinny/tunnel sounding. I used the same mic, conditions, script, etc to record in other apps and it sounds fine. It’s only this app that records poorly.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE INTERFACE

*2026-05-06, version 3.2.5*

I need to do some simple VO editing and tried this app. There are next to no tools and the ones there do not seem to work. It’s not intuitive it’s so minimal that it’s useless.

### 5/5 — Love the app, but iCloud sync is missing

*2026-04-03, version 3.2.3*

I absolutely love the app.
I switched to it from another app, I love the multiple tracks, the ease of edits, and the pro features, but iCloud sync is missing
I’d like to record on my phone, but edit on my iPad.
Currently, unfortunately, it’s not an option.
I really hope it’s implemented in the nearest future

### 5/5 — Super Handy

*2026-03-20, version 3.2.3*

I have been using the pro version for incidental bits for my show. Helps me precisely layer speech over music. I can quickly brew up all those elements for a show, using my iPad.

### 1/5 — Aber Service nur auf Englisch und keine Kurzbefehle

*2026-03-17*

Menüführung in Deutsch, aber Support nur in Englisch! Außerdem keine Shortcuts (Kurzbefehle) verfügbar. Gerade mit iPhones, die eine Aktionstaste haben, wäre dies nützlich gewesen. Enttäuscht bin ich vom Service, der nicht mal in der Lage ist, einen Übersetzer zu benutzen.

### 5/5 — Still the best iPad app I have

*2026-02-04, version 3.2.2*

It's been yet a couple more years since I last updated my review. Ferrite is the biggest reason I still have an iPad. It is indispensable for my podcast editing. While for my purposes I haven't made full use of everything it's capable of, what I care about is that it continues to be steady and reliable through various interface/OS updates, so I happily continue to subscribe!

### 5/5 — Ferrite recording studio:

*2026-01-08, version 3.2.2*

Will there ever be a way you could make it where you can record with both front and back stereo mics activated at the same time? That would really make it great! Also, is there a possible to make it better record more than an hour? Thanks!

### 1/5 — Limited usability

*2025-12-12, version 3.2.2*

Only exports at 44.1 for free tier. Maybe the paid version does higher and by higher I mean 48 kHz as that is the max a pro max phone can do according to apple support.
