Vocal Recorder vs PocketDAW

Don't lose your vocal coach's feedback. Listen back to your karaoke takes and find exactly where the breath drops. Vocal Recorder lets you record your singing and tag the waveform with notes — the way a coach would, but in your pocket. ■ Features • Recording with waveform notes Record a take, see the waveform, and tap markers across it in seven categories: breath, accent, pitch, caution, nailed, feel, lyric. Replay later and every weak spot is right where you left it. • Sheet music (PDF) inline with playback Attach a PDF score to a recording and the Player's Score tab shows it right alongside playback. Pinch to zoom in on details, swipe to flip pages. • Auto-organized folders Comes with Personal, Karaoke, and Lesson folders. Drop each take in the right folder and pull it back up in one tap. • Tags for finer sorting Build your own tag system — genre, key, coach name, anything. • Daily streak See how many days in a row you have practiced, right at the top of your library. • Import existing recordings Bring in m4a / mp3 files you already have and add notes to those too. • Full backup Export your library as a zip and restore on another device. ■ Who it's for · Singers in lessons who want to revisit a coach's feedback at home · Karaoke regulars who want to find the breath drops in their takes · Anyone building a daily vocal practice habit and tracking progress · Anyone working on breath / pitch / accent who needs an honest playback ■ Privacy • No sign-up • All recordings, notes, and scores stay on your device (no server) • Ads served via Google AdMob See "Settings → Privacy Policy" inside the app or the privacy URL on the store listing for details.

PocketDAW brings vocal recording, arrangement, mixing, lyric writing, and export into one local-first workspace for iPhone and iPad. BUILD A VOCAL SESSION Import a beat into project-owned storage, record vocals while existing tracks play, and arrange up to 32 audio tracks. Keep the playhead centered while clips move behind it, zoom or fit the timeline, and choose a comfortable track height. Tap tracks and clips for contextual controls. Move, duplicate, precisely trim, split, fade, and crossfade clips. Shape tracks with gain, pan, mute, and solo, with project Undo and Redo. MIX WITH CONTROL Use built-in Studio EQ and Vocal Compressor, adjustable sends, Aux returns, delay, subgroup routing, Master EQ and compression, peak limiting, and peak, RMS, LUFS, and true-peak metering. Preview evidence-backed local gain and mix recommendations before applying or rejecting them. WRITE BESIDE YOUR MUSIC Create lyric documents and sections with offline exact, slant, internal, compound, and multisyllabic rhyme cues. Explore deterministic suggestions, syllable and stress facts, an offline dictionary and thesaurus, project pronunciations, search, custom themes, draft history, timeline links, and a transport-aware teleprompter. DELIVER YOUR WORK Export a 24-bit Mix WAV, choose from three loudness and true-peak-aware Mastered WAV profiles, or create aligned dry, wet, Aux, and subgroup stem packages with reconstruction metadata. LOCAL-FIRST BY DEFAULT Projects and core analysis stay on your device. PocketDAW has no account, ads, analytics, or social feed. Optional Studio Assistant chat connects to a server you choose and control on a reachable local or private network. Before Send, the app shows the destination, model, and shared context. Names, saved lyrics, and conversation history require separate sharing choices; any text you enter in a message is part of that message. Raw audio and file paths are never sent. Supported project edits require review and Apply, and local chat history can be cleared.
