Did you know your iPhone & iPad has multiple microphones with polarity patterns that are all available under the hood? This app accesses all of them. Select a mic and a polar pattern (mono only) or choose stereo recording in Settings. Monitoring starts at app launch, hit Record, add a marker if you hear something cool. Then play your recordings back, share them, and use them in your creations. Input gain is adjustable and you can push it to distort if you'd like. If you plug in wired headphones you can listen to your environment and what you're recording, there's plenty of extra monitoring gain there too if you need it. Bluetooth monitoring is also available with latency, but with noise cancelling enabled it works pretty well. All your recordings are stored on device and accessible in the Recordings page, where you can see any cue markers you've made, scrub through long recordings, rename the file, and share the file outside the app.

AudioRecorder turns your iPhone or iPad into a clean, no-nonsense recorder for your USB audio interface - in the studio, at home, or on stage.

Built for musicians and home studios who want a dependable capture tool without launching a full DAW. RECORD • Works with any class-compliant USB audio interface • Uncompressed 24-bit PCM WAV at the interface's native sample rate - never resampled • Mono, stereo, or mono-sum capture • Choose exactly which inputs feed Left and Right, so a multi-input interface lets you pick any two • Live level meters with a peak readout and clip indicator for dialing in gain • Preview the input before you commit to a take • A big, unmissable record button and elapsed timer STAY IN CONTROL • Live "time remaining" estimate from your free space, with a low-space warning • The screen stays awake while recording, so the meters never dim • Interrupted takes - a phone call, an unplugged cable - are saved as partial recordings, not lost LIBRARY • Play back with scrubbing • Rename, delete and organize your takes • Share via AirDrop or Files, or export straight to a USB drive SETUP HELP • A built-in connection guide shows exactly how to wire things up, with diagrams for both USB-C and Lightning devices WHAT YOU NEED • A class-compliant USB audio interface • If your iPhone or iPad has a USB-C port, then the Audio Interface will work without external power • On Lightning devices, an Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter is needed and the Audio interface needs a source of external power AudioRecorder does one thing and does it cleanly: get the signal from your interface onto your device, uncompressed and intact.
