トリムがダメ

最近、ハサミマークからトリムで曲を区切るのに、全く違うところから区切られる!全然ダメ。なぜこうなった?早く直してほしい。

This is the only product that does what I need and it’s free

My only interaction with Shur is talking to support for this product. There’s something Shur understands that almost every hardware producer doesn’t get. It’s been a problem for decades. But Shur understands that great software is a necessary complement to great hardware.

I use Motiv on an iPad to record sounds in the real world. Birds, trains, whatever is out there. I need that sound to be as pure and as close to reality as possible. No fancy modifications, please, and it does exactly that. Not a lot of unneeded controls to complicate things when I need a sound recorded and I need it right now. I tried at least a dozen different apps, and they all have added stuff that makes them useless to me except Motiv.

Only recording in Mono

User guide is out of date and the app does not have features it describes. I have used the app on two different iPhone and can only get to record in mono. The app is bare bones and has no way to change basic audio settings.
