Pros: -The mics sound good for recording musical ideas. -Support is on point and replies quickly. Cons: -You need headphones. Not just any headphones, but ones without a mic, unless your headphones have a really good mic already it’s a no go. There’s no way to change the input to your phone mic if you have headphones in. You’re going to need them if you don’t want feedback or to pick up the backing track on GB. -On GarageBand make sure it is entered as an effect and not an instrument when recording or you’re going to get your ears blown out. -it does freeze up at times. ### 4/5 — Very Good, Affordable Mic Modeling *2021-04-06, version 2.0* Hey there! Just beginning my foray into the iOS recording ecosystem. I had been looking for a good modeling app since all I have right now is the earbud mic. Let me say, the results I’ve been getting are fantastic! I really wanted to give it 5 stars but I’ve encountered a bit of an inconvenient glitch. When I’m using it as an AUv3 in GarageBand, the mic selection changes when I close the session and reopen. Not a dealbreaker since it only takes a few seconds to go through and change them back but I would really like to be able to print my mixes with confidence. Hopefully, this will be addressed in the upcoming update. Other than that, great app! Keep ‘em coming! ### 4/5 — Help? *2020-10-17, version 2.0* Which microphone or microphones work best for singing? ### 4/5 — 24/48 and dry booth? *2020-05-05, version 2.0* Wondering about sample and bit rates and maybe a VO booth environment (dry). I’m fortunate to use some of these real mics daily - including the U47. I really appreciate the detail in emulation - but it certainly still helps to get the best capture with as good of a mic as possible to get best results. I would like to see a recommendation for level settings between the app and a mic interface as well if possible. I don’t feel like I’ve hit the sweet spot yet. Thanks for the useful and educational app. ### 5/5 — MicSwap pro *2019-08-24, version 1.12* I love this app when it plays right when I record it does great but if I mess up and go and delete it and try to go back to record the mics won’t work,the backgrounds are on but the mics aren’t unless I shut my iPhone down and come back to it it will work again till I go to play back ### 5/5 — Garageband *2019-07-24, version 1.12* How do I use it on Garageband? Like when trying to record a song ### 5/5 — Just fabulous! *2019-07-05, version 1.12* So versatile and on point! ### 5/5 — Great sound! *2019-05-01, version 1.12* This app works wonderfully and improves my vocals on the fly. When I need a good sound fast it’s my goto and has been for years. I use AUM, BM3, Cubasis, ApeMatrix, and Stagelight and I never ever have sync or any other issues using it as an Auv3! ### 5/5 — Love this *2018-10-21, version 1.11* I own and have owned a bunch of these vintage mics. I bought this because sometimes I have to record a quick voice over and this just sounds so much better than anything else. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2018-10-06, version 1.11* The best microphone app period. Never had a problem. Allow it to go go into landscape mode or tablet mode would be great. But. Awesome. Really. You should get 10 stars. This app needs to be a software for computers on pro tools or logics. Wicked. Then I will give you a 100 stars. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not what i thought it was *2020-04-27, version 2.0* I got this from garage band it would be there continue to edit was was wrong not only that my app keeps crashing and wont let me play audio saved recordings ill be getting my money back not worth $20 ### 1/5 — Not worth the money *2020-01-19, version 1.13* I want a refund ### 1/5 — Not good *2019-10-15, version 1.13* Force you to pay. App is not there yet ### 1/5 — Didn’t work with my external mic *2019-06-13, version 1.12* Didn’t work with my external mic ### 1/5 — Wasted money *2018-12-17, version 1.11* Was going to use this for voice over but full of static. I check my mic against other aps and audio and it appears to be this ap. I am not going use audio full of static. Wasted money. ### 2/5 — Crashes with garage band *2020-02-12, version 1.13* Almost every time I use it with garage band it won’t load properly. ### 3/5 — No Landscape Really?! *2022-04-17, version 2.0* The sound of the different mics is grate and the app is easy to use. I give it three stars because a very simple lack of landscape. Using an iPad Pro most all cases stand the device up in a landscape position. As soon as you switch to the native app in Garage band suddenly everything is on it’s side. For a $20 premium app price I have the expectation of landscape mode. ### 3/5 — Needs landscape mode support *2021-03-08, version 2.0* All iPadOS apps these days should support landscape mode for people who use it like a computer (with keyboard and mouse). We don't want to twist our necks just to use the app. ### 3/5 — Crackle *2020-05-14, version 2.0* Hello, just purchased the pro version. When I use the app by itself, it seems to record smoothly, but when it’s running through GarageBand or AUM, there’s a bunch of static and cracking. What should I do? ### 3/5 — Smh *2020-05-12, version 2.0* Why do it keep schreeching... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great program *2023-01-05, version 2.0* I like to record on the go this app gives me so many options thanks ### 5/5 — Best mic for recording a large choir *2021-10-24, version 2.0* Which mic is best for 100 voice choir? Great app thank you ### 5/5 — Great *2021-04-05, version 2.0* This app makes full use of mic hardware and then some. No joke ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2021-02-09, version 2.0* Runs super smooth and solid! I’ve used it with an iRig mic into protools for years now, or just straight into the phone to jot down ideas. It’s one of my most helpful writing tools! The mics are all distinctly unique sounding, the ms-sga is my favorite with a cool old timey narrow frequency sound. It’s helpful to flip through different miscs for inspiration when I'm writing, love this app! ### 5/5 — Great app!!! *2021-01-08, version 2.0* I bought MicSwap first and have been using the Pro version for many months. I now only use MicSwap Pro every time I record. This app is awesome. Well done. Thanks!! The very best recorder! ### 5/5 — I'm still having trouble haha *2020-11-13, version 2.0* I don't seem to exactly comprehend the way to configure this 😂😭😭. I have fun messing with these and try to mess with it sometimes to just cull my anxiety and it normally helps at least give me some boredom relief if not peace of mind ☺️ I love it, I could use some tips and maybe a hand holding until I get it(I take forever to get ahang of things but once I stop over or underthinking I kinda become a beast) ### 5/5 — A much better product than IK multimedia’s Mic Room *2020-05-14, version 2.0* The microphone models are much truer to their originals than Mic Room. The U 87 is particularly good. ### 5/5 — It’s great! *2020-04-11, version 2.0* Love this app! Use it coupled with Rode Mic me-L and GarageBand. I’ve been using it on actual recordings and dropping into Logic. The models sound very close to mics I’ve used in the past. Get it if you want to add color to your vocals! ### 5/5 — Great asset for your toolbox! *2020-04-07, version 2.0* Thank you for making a fantastic App. I do give it 5 stars but only have one suggestion for the developer. I have noticed that I am unable to change the room when being used as an AUv3. This is not life or death as IAA works, but this would make it even better when being used as an AUv3. Granted this could be user error on my end, and is simply a suggestion. Thank you for bringing professional plugins to iOS. iPads are not just toys when it comes to music production and this is a great tool for sound design and mixing etc... ### 5/5 — Inter app not available at this time. *2019-09-07, version 1.12* I am wanting to use the different microphones in GarageBand on my iPad Pro. It’s says inter app not available at this time.....maybe I am not using it correctly. Any suggestions? Update Got it working. It was me not the app. Thanks for the response. I really like this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
