Reel Recorder vs LoopGround

Reel Recorder brings the tactile experience of a vintage tape recorder to your iPhone. SPIN THE REEL Drag the reel with your finger to scrub through recordings — forward and reverse. The audio plays at your finger's speed, just like real tape. RECORD & PLAY One-tap recording with real-time level metering. Play back with variable-speed FF/REW slider. DESIGNED LIKE HARDWARE Brushed aluminum body, OLED display, physical-style buttons with haptic feedback. Every detail crafted to feel like a real device. FREE & PRO The free version may show a small banner below the recorder after applicable advertising consent. Pro removes ads and adds unlimited recordings, FF/REW up to 8x speed, custom skip intervals, and 24-bit / 48kHz high-quality audio.

LoopGround is a four-track tape looper for building slow, evolving music. Record or bring in sound, then let each loop run at its own length, speed and direction while wow, flutter, saturation and tape age turn it into something alive. • Four independent tape loops, each with its own length, speed and direction • A step sequencer with chords, chance, ratchets, a key and scale, and an arpeggiator • Three LFOs and a filter on every track to keep everything moving • A mixer with EQ, aux sends and returns, and insert slots for your own AUv3 effects and instruments • Afterlight — a lush reverb with shimmer, freeze and burst • Run Away Delay — a pattern-driven delay that repeats, reverses, pitches and scatters • Use it as a standalone app, or as an AUv3 plugin inside your favourite host • Designed for iPhone and iPad, in portrait and landscape Try everything free for 7 days. Then choose LoopGround Full, or LoopGround Lite — the tape looper and sequencer without Full's extras (loops up to a minute, no per-track step lengths or divisions, no instruments or MIDI out, and no Afterlight or Run Away Delay). Lite owners can upgrade to Full at any time. Already own LoopGround Full for Mac or Windows? Sign in with the email you bought it with and it unlocks on your iPhone and iPad at no extra cost.
