Irig Recorder App Reviews

I lost songs. The songs that are still there are now all identified as "Recovered 1" "Recovered 2" etc..., and they are all out of mixed up in terms of date (all now dated as June 30, 2017), so there's truly no way to tell what's what. My phone didn't crash, the app was working fine before, so why did my tracks need to be "Recovered". Also, I can't check input level until it is recording. Double also, I keep accidentally putting these markers all over everything, and I can't figure out how to delete them. This is exactly the reason why I don't update apps if I'm already happy with the way they work. Why!? Why did I disobey my own rule!? Don't fix what's not broken, you nerds. Quit trying to make this thing into something it's not. It's an excellent quality sound recorder with some very basic editing features, and that's all it is, and that's fine. Now there's a bunch of c*** I don't need. I don't need video recording. I don't need whatever other garbage you've added. Go back to the previous version!

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!

No sound comes out when hooked into Audiobus. It records but, I can't hear it until playback! Huh? What's up?

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 don't think I would have missed that one considering that it's 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 can't even open it, that's obviously no longer the case. DONT UPDATE!

This might be a great program, but they made me angry when they turned on "Background Audio" settings with no warning. It was stuck with a red banner across the top of my screen and I couldn't turn the program off, it was stuck on all the time. I finally had do a search on the internet to find out how. You shouldn't have to search on the internet to figure out how to turn something off. It should come off and maybe suggest it in a suggestion and tell you how to turn it off. I spent the money on the Microphone, and another $5 for this app. I hope it was worth it, they already made me very angry.

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

The app is nice, it has some good features for mixing audio. The UI is lacking and doesn’t fit the screen for iPhone X.

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. It's 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 it's 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 you're gonna pull the rug out from under me, so I can jump or something.

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.

Old version was better that's for sure This one not user-friendly. Cannot preview volume level until recording Transferring has to many steps involved now Records sound quality great! Just made it really annoying to operate

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

WAS extremely useful for school.. many ppl including me r screwed. 'file management is HIDDEN and not accessible thru itunes file sharing. The app no longer starts? praying for an updateee Lots of ppl r screwedddddd

Was looking for a simple way to record with new vocpedal and the on sale from amazon iRig2. Recording to share sacred messages. Names FAITHmystic

Can't open this on my iPad after IOS 5! I have the mic, etc. any ideas

Ok

This is very frustrating .. Wasted my money on a dump mic for a program that doesn't work.. It crashed during opening .. Should take this off the application store..

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.

Overall a good app. Does what it says, even gives you a little tutorial manual. Registration is a little hassle, and shouldn't be there cuz of the price of the app, but I had no problems. Would like to have ability to MMS my recordings. Maybe I missed it? Thanks.

There is a horrible static sound when recording on this app with the iPhone 6s which I have never experienced using an iPad. Totally useless app.

Not able to adjust the input volume. Reds more work.

This is a fair recorder, but only just so. The reason I'm giving it only one star is zero stars isn't an option. My reason for considering this gizmo a kluge is I can't 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 I'll try turning the phone off and see if that does the trick. Idiots!

If you want to record static, this is the app for you. Steer clear of this garbage

Playback is not user friendly, waveforms don't always appear, can't return to zero, some songs skip at the end and I can't 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.

Sweet

What's 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!

VERY DISAPPOINTED after I updated this app and now it crashes when I try to open it.

There is no better way to say this. If you don't "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, you're 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 I'VE 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!!!!

Love dis app for on da go cats!

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 didn't run into any registration problems but the red bar is annoying.

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 I'm 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

Great program until this update recorded pure static for 30 min. Beyond disappointed can't get the recording back.

I don't like the fact that I need to create a user account with them for some functions to work or to see the user manual. I already paid my $5!!! It should be completely functional without requiring a registration. Anyway, I just created a new account and consistently get a "Unable to authenticate user" message. Other than that It seems like a great alternative to iAudition (which, by the way, does not require jumping through hoops to get full functionality). I know it's a 1.0 version, so i will update review and rating when it works as it should and the registration bug is fixed.

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 it's 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 we're 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 it's 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.

This app seems to be pretty good but after paying for and registering it I can't open any of the processors .It shows me being registered and all available apps loaded but they won't open. Other than that not bad.

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.

I have lectures, voice lessons recorded with this app, the last iOS update didn't seat well with it and I can't access ANY of my files. This app keeps crashing (and it's not the first time it behaves this way after some update). I contacted support, but they were not helpful AT ALL, first they just give you the run around, very simple and dumb "fixes" and as you explain to them you've tried all they just don't know what else to say but to try everything over again. I gave up on them once I realized they had no idea how to solve my problem. YOU GUYS NEED TO ISSUE A NEW UPDATE ASAP!! I'm not deleting the files in the hopes that the next update will somehow let me access them then I can ditch this digital garbage. And yes I know you'll reply saying that you're sorry for my troubles and that I should contact support. I'd say work on an update, since it's my last hope to recover my files. I'm not alone tons of reviews here are clear indication that your app is broken, but it may also be an indication that you just don't care anymore!

When using with Audiobus it causes audio to be really bad. Have tried multiple guitar apps and once it's all hooked up in Audiobus the sound is awful. Trying to make short guitar videos with guitar through apps like tonestack and JamUp. Once I finish the chain with irig recorder, the audio suddenly gets soft and hissing

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 IK's hardware. WIFI transfer / IP address port 5555 is excellent - although buggy at times. Fix these annoyances and you've got a winner!
