Loop Recording
Read full descriptionHide full description
Loop Recording is a simple rolling audio recorder for musicians, practice sessions, rehearsals, interviews, and any moment you might want to hear again. Open the app and it continuously keeps recent microphone audio in a loop buffer. When something worth saving happens, scrub back through the live waveform, replay the moment, then export the audio as a WAV file.
