iRig Recorder App Reviews

Great app for on the go. I work in radio and the FTP function is great to upload right into automation but it could use a simple mixer to complete the package. I didnt run into any registration problems but the red bar is annoying.

Does what it says it does!!! In settings turn off Auto Rec & Background Audio to Rid the red stripe of doom, also if you own other IK products you just keep using the the same registration. It makes it easy, email, user name & password. I think if you could import audio, iTunes songs or maybe bounce tracks from VocaLive & back again I would give 5 stars. But maybe IK can put that in the update. I dont think I would have missed that one considering that its supposed to go with VocaLive. Maybe the two programs should be merged together they both have something the other needs. IK how about a job???

I updated this app to version 1.0.1 and it will not open anymore. I have restarted, reloaded, etc and no luck. It WAS a good app but since I cant even open it, thats obviously no longer the case. DONT UPDATE!

Cant open this on my iPad after IOS 5! I have the mic, etc. any ideas

This is very frustrating .. Wasted my money on a dump mic for a program that doesnt work.. It crashed during opening .. Should take this off the application store..

Whats up with this app? I just paid $5 in the free app to get the exact features in the $5 one? I only bought the paid one after purchasing the in app add ons in the free app because IT WASN"T WORKING. THe only time you can hear passthrough is when the app is BACKGROUNDED!

despite paying..I still get pop-ups...cant export...those are what I can only remember at the moment..I hate this app...

Playback is not user friendly, waveforms dont always appear, cant return to zero, some songs skip at the end and I cant get it to stop without closing the song, audio not in line with locator, I could go on. Exporting to soundcloud is cool but for a $5 app these bugs make it almost unusable and need to be fixed.

The main thing this needs is the ability to upload/import file and other than FTP if I have files that I want to import to edit I should have that option and it should be simple. Also when I leave app I get a red bar across top of my phone this should only show if Im still recording not if all I did was leave app. Also I bought this to use Irig mic with iPad not phone this needs to be made compatible with iPad as well and needs a landscape mode for both iPhone and iPad

I love the iRig Recorder app. Definitely the best recording app out there. As an opera singer I use it all the time to record lessons and rehearsals. This means I need to go back to the recording and listen back and forth a great deal. You made this really easy in the Song module of Amplitube. However in iRig Recorder its not that easy. Beeing able to see the sound wave and have a geographical notion of the recording is great, but really nothing replaces a fast forward and rewind buttons. Since were at it, I would request another function that is really rare but incredibly useful: rewind by a set number of seconds: 20 seconds, 10 seconds, 5 seconds. If the parameter were programmable that would be awesome. But its also possible to just have a short rewind time set and just press three times. Also, there is no easy way to export a file from iRig Recorder to Amplitube in the iPhone. Therefore if you could implement some of the awesome functions in Amplitube in iRig Recorder, that would be great. In the meantime, a simple fast forward button and rewind button would be a great but simple enhancement.

Needs ability to continue on a recording or a edited session. A lot of times I record verses then title then listen to them to add more later so it would be nice to have the ability to record on top of and continue on a session or project that was previously started.

Randomly turns itself on when not needed wont completely shut off hold off till they fix it I need to record tonight but Im using an older version on another phone cant trust this new version!

This is a fair recorder, but only just so. The reason Im giving it only one star is zero stars isnt an option. My reason for considering this gizmo a kluge is I cant turn the G.D. Thing off! And with such a degree of silliness, one would expect the people behind this dreary concoction to cover it in their FAQ list, but no. Next Ill try turning the phone off and see if that does the trick. Idiots!

I have tried other voice recording apps, and my recordings come out better using iRig Recorder. I have recently come to appreciate the WiFi web server feature for file transfers on a local network; but, I would like to see Dropbox integration, as well. I would also like to see an MP3 compressed recording option, rather than AAC, for more broad compatibility. Thanks!

This app was great until it stopped working after 3 months.

I am a blind user of the iPhone and use VoiceOver for operation of the device. However the controls in iRig Recorder are not labeled very clearly with VoiceOver. A fix for that would be fantastic. Thank you in advance.

IK Multimedia makes great products, but the iRig recorder has suffered its most recent update(s). I am a musician and I used the previous version(s) extensively to record ideas, practice, rehearsals and so on, both with the guitar interface and the iPhone’s internal mic. It was wonderful. All the controls were large enough, easy to tap and adjust, and the audio record and playback levels were clear and robust. Perfect for songwriters, as that great idea can disappear while dealing with fiddly controls. This current version, however, moved the controls into tiny buttons very difficult to tap accurately. The record level setting now takes several taps, and is very weak at best. Every recording requires boosting, which increases noise. I’ve tried to remain faithful for months, but my patience has worn thin and the app must go. An audio recorder should function just like a camera, with the ability to either choose to point and click, or delve into advanced settings. My suggestion is to rework the interface to that end; make one-click recording and advanced settings into separate, selectable options, and make the buttons larger and more intuitive. In the meantime I have chosen to save all my recordings, delete the app and switch to Wave Pad, which is somewhat easier to use. I hope this helps other musicians make an informed choice.

This has been my go-to app for voice recording for a few years now, and I have tried just about every other rec app there is. Its been stable as all hell, which is a huge plus. A while back, they completely changed the optimize voice processor which was an in-app purchase, and ruined it, IMHO. It lost all the gain it had before, an the differentiation between speech and music is lackluster at best. Before it was like, POW! In your face vocals, and now its just like every other app. I have no way to get back the effect I bought, which is lame. Imagine me coming to your house, taking an effects box I sold you, but replaced it with one i said was better, but u hated it. How long would we remain friends? Nice app, iRig, but let me know next time youre gonna pull the rug out from under me, so I can jump or something.

This is so close to something amazing. The biggest thing is who in their right mind would select stereo / 44.1 KHz as a default setting for recording? Also, why do I have to change it to Mono and 48KHz every time I launch the app? Moreover, if I swap to another app, it forgets my settings. Once you select these settings, they should stick... Otherwise, a huge time-saving app paired nicely with IKs hardware. WIFI transfer / IP address port 5555 is excellent - although buggy at times. Fix these annoyances and youve got a winner!

There is no better way to say this. If you dont "register" this app with them, this app records at such a low level that it is practically inaudible. Nowhere in the app is there an indication that you must register to get decent gain. That leaves the unregistered paying customer with the impression that this app is garbage. The other problem is that instead of having the gain handled on input, youre artificially adding the gain after the fact. Seems like this app was designed by some new hotshot marketing MBA grad rather than an audio person! Just TERRIBLE! THERE IS NO OTHER APP IVE USED IN THE APP STORE THAT RECORDS AT SUCH A TERRIBLE LEVEL! ***NONE*** EVEN THE $2 APPS DO BETTER WITH **NO PROCESSING**! This app is a SLAP IN THE FACE to PAYING customers. This is so disgusting and revolting I want to delete the app and demand my money back! SHAME ON YOU IK MULTIMEDIA!!!! PULL YOURSELVES OUT OF THE DIRT AND SHOW SOME RESPECT TO YOUR PAYING CUSTOMERS!!!! ONE STAR BUT ***ZERO*** IF I COULD!!!!
