Excellent but need to update

It is an excellent app; but it is not updated to have flexibility to export it in wav format available to share within the device. It has to depend on iTunes and needs a computer to get your recording in high quality.

Just give it up….

I was a big supporter…brought so many of your apps and so many iap’s….but I think it’s time to move on from the IPad/Iphone platform because you clearly don’t understand or maybe just don’t care about the needs of people who produce music on their IPads. You had a good run but that was over a decade ago….you just don’t get it. Do you even pay any attention at all to the low ratings of your apps? If this worked as an audio inside IPad daws it would still be relevant and the rating would be much higher…..why does that seem to be so hard to comprehend?

iOS 16- Mise à jour

Bonjour,

Aurez-vous bientôt une mise à jour pour que votre application VocaLive fonctionne avec ioS16?

Great!

This has been an app I use everyday and has always worked great! But I have upgraded my ipad and now since whenever I try to record through this, the vocals are stereo and there’s no way to change it?? Any way you could add a stereo to mono effect please? It’s ruined the app for me and making it no longer useable!:,(
I need this app to work!!
I’ve looked into it and it’s recording everything with phase cancellation. I try putting the recorded vocals into mono and it’s just silence. Please help!

Needs Audio Unit Extension capability, otherwise solid.

To truly make this app part of a complete software package it could definitely use the ability to be used as an Audio Unit Extension and be able to modify the carrier signal, that way it can be used as a vocoder style vocal and speech processor in GarageBand for iOS and iPadOS. Other than that, it is a great app for what I want out of a vocal and speech processor.
