Capture the idea the moment it arrives, then do what no basic recorder can: shift the pitch of any recording up or down twelve semitones without changing its speed. Hear your melody in a different key, check how a part sits in another register, or find the right key for your voice — and with formant preservation, you still sound like you. RECORD WITHOUT LOSING THE MOMENT - One tap to record, with live markers: tap while recording to pin the exact second the good idea happened - Optional stereo recording for a wide, natural room sound - Record in AAC, or lossless WAV for takes that matter - Recordings can be named after where you were when inspiration hit FIND IT AGAIN - Markers are draggable after the fact — press and hold to zoom in for precise placement - Folders, favorites, and search keep a growing library organized - Trim recordings down to just the good part TAKE IT TO YOUR TOOLS - Export a melody as MIDI, transcribed on your device - Share lossless WAVs with your markers embedded — they import as session markers in Reaper, Pro Tools, Studio One, and Cubase - Import your existing recordings: select them in the Voice Memos app, tap Share, and choose Notable NEVER LOSE AN IDEA - Automatic backup to your own private iCloud — lose your phone, keep your songs - No accounts, no sign-up, and no servers of ours: your audio is yours, and we never see it Notable collects no data.
