beautifully realised - delightfully straightforward

this is an excellent example of a really great UI and making the most of the iphone to perform a really simple and straightforward task: record a sound. but it’s also a 4 track and has lots of good features. really great work guys!

TP7 but better

This outdoes the tp7 by 100x. Bluetooth, louder volume, easier to understand controls, and sync ability is super easy to understand. Also allows any of my te devices to be Bluetooth with a speaker to be cable less. Bless up!

TP-7 Alternative

I was looking for cheaper alternatives to the teenage engineering TP-7 and this was recommended on Reddit. Using it for a few weeks I can say it is very close and in some ways better! Has some features that the TP-7 doesn’t, is always with you and the devs seem very responsive to user feedback. They also release new features and updates regularly. Useful app and excited to see it grow

Reel has been fun to play with, even on vacation!

I’ve rediscovered music production in the palm of my hand. Support from the developer has been wonderful! While I love recording to my Zoom H1, I always have my phone, but not fresh AA batteries. Reel is the real deal. —-and the MIDI triggering!? Enjoy!

Sorry it's not working for you. There's not much to go on from the review, but I'd like to help. Drop me an email at support@reelaudio.app with your device model and what happens when you open the app and I'll take a look and get it fixed promptly. Thank you.

amazing tool with great potential

wow i didn’t knew that i wanted an app like this one - a great handy recorder with a lot of potential, fun to use or even play with as an instrument itself.
adding level monitoring/volume indication for each recorded track during playback as well as a selection option for the built in mics (back, top, front / mono, stereo) would be awesome!

edit: thank you for your ongoing support! it would be amazing to see iPad screen support as well as „internal recording“ support for other audio apps via e.g. the connection apples screen recording feature uses to grab system audio (idk if that is even possible, but would be soooo cool!)

Thanks you for the review and feedback! We have a. new mixer UI in the works and this will include volume level indication for each track in the mixer section. Great suggestion, we have logged your feature request for mic selection! Thank you!

Great App Continuous Development

It's great to see this app be so supporter by its creator. I submitted a bug report via email -easy button click straight to him- and he responded very quickly with suggestions and having addressed my feedback.

Very helpful and looking forward to seeing where the app goes

Recommendation no hesitation

This is an app I would recommend to anyone who has an iOS device and does any kind of music production. It is super fun and intuitive. I just got done doing some digital 4 track to reel in and out via a single USB C cable which just feels crazy. Being able to sample, resample, mix down or anything in between using these two devices connected together feels like a wonderful gift. Thanks for making such a fun app.

Genuinely great, one complaint

Incredible reel to feel (intentionally misspelled) recorder.
Only issue is that it doesn’t seem to want to connect my headphones via usb. Can’t figure out what’s wrong.

But the recoding, controls, and overall FEEL of this app are all great. Makes me want to record.

Hey, Thanks for supporting Reel and glad you are enjoying it. Could you please send me a session log after trying to connect your headphone (go to settings > Feedback & diagnostics > email to developer) and I will look into this and get it fixed for you or feel free to contact me on support@reelaudio.app.

Love this app

Great app for recording and more wherever you are. Gorgeous UI, pro-hardware-level functionality, and the last update brought a slew of new features and upgrades. Worth every penny.

Thank you for your review and support. Glad to you you're enjoying the new update!

Was very good. Now even better.

This app was already well designed and robust. And now the latest v1.5.1 update made it so much better. The features I hope exist and just try (double click the volume fader or pan knob to reset the position, automatically restore previous pitch, show pitch as semitones setting, etc) are a joy to discover. It inspires creativity and curiosity as I now just want to play around with it more, finding new ways to use it. Support the people who worked hard on this app. Stop thinking about it. Just buy it!

Thank you so much for the review! We will keep working hard at it and find new ways to continuously improve Reel! Really nice to hear it inspires creativity and invites for play! Thats a big part of what we are pushing for! Appreciate you taking the time and thank you again for the support!

This app Bangs!!

This is an insanely useful tool for me. I have a Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II. Definitely watch the YouTube video they have to understand what you are doing, but this is a great app to use your phone as an interface and also a solid resample method. What this essentially does is it gives you the 4 track tape you would have on a OP-1. I did find an issue with the Mixer screen but I reached out to the developers and they responded same day with a fix. (Note) the issue will be resolved on the update coming out in a few days.

I would recommend an ability to adjust the loop points after being set.

Cool not great…

It’s a cool app but two major issues. Scrubbing feels a bit weird. If I scrub slow, the audio cuts out when you expect it just slow down the recorded audio. It would be nice if it was smoother so you can hear how your music sounds slow without using PITCH.

Not only that, but a mixer with no EQ or plug-in support ? I just feel at a loss with this. It’s cool to look at it. But I’m not getting 15$ worth at the moment. Wouldn’t recommend as it stands

Hi ManChase, Thanks for your honest feedback, appreciate it. We just released an update with 46 new improvements from user feedback. We listened and reworked the audio engine so the scrubbing should feel smoother. Give it a go and feel free to reach out if you have any other requests. We have put your other 2 suggestions into our development requests for a future update.

Easy. Fun. Super handy

Easy. Fun.

On a phone…

This is a digital 4 track tape recorder on a phone. I never thought I’d see the day we I could see and use such a thing. It’s really amazing so far even in the first two firmwares. Running anything into it and recording and manipulating it is a joy and uncovers so much. I’d implore anyone who likes tape style workflows to pick this up. It reminds me of using actual tape machines, it’s intuitive, simple and really fun once you get the simple workflow down. I’ve been pairing an OP-XY with it and making really nice textures from engines, having an external USB-C mixer or interface makes this even more of a powerful piece of software. Loading samples into it is really cool too, again so much to discover once adjusting varispeed controls. This is a full complete DAW once you learn the magic of tape, and remember, there’s four tracks of it here!

Fantastic app, a few criticisms.

I would love to be able to export in the pitch selected, or even be able to export loops as well. A visual cue for the metronome on the main page would be beautiful as well. Other than that it’s beautiful for sketching out songs.

Just what we needed

Love this so much, its what iv been looking for a long long time. Iv been using it in conjunction with my mpc sample and sp404mk2. The veri speed is a favourite feature of mine for sure. For v1.1 it feels solid and finished. Well done developers, this is a beautiful application. Id love a hardware controller for it. 10/10
