Ferrite is the award-winning app you need for creating podcasts, radio journalism, or other professional voice production work — lectures, speeches, voice-overs and more. It combines the ease-of-use of a “voice memo” audio recorder, with a versatile multi-track editing studio. Powerful tools like effects and automation are available when you need them. With time-saving features and a UI designed to get out of your way, people around the world are switching to Ferrite. — Streamlined Recording — Open Ferrite and with just one tap you’re recording. No fuss, and it won't break a sweat even with hours-long sessions. Just make sure your device has enough free space! Recording an interview and you want to highlight a few quotes? Have to take out some inappropriate language? Or just fluffed a sentence and need to fix it? Bookmark moments during your recording and they’ll be flagged up during edits, so you can jump right to them. Monitor levels with live recording meters, or listen through headphones. Tag your audio to find it quickly later. And of course you can import audio from your Music Library, iCloud, and other services such as Dropbox. Please note: the free version has limited duration for recording & editing projects. Upgrade to Pro and you can edit projects up to 24 hours long! — Editing is a Snip — Ferrite features full multi-track editing, from quick cuts, to producing a complete podcast or broadcast package. Zoom out to see hours at a glance, or zoom in all the way down to individual samples. Take a single clip, or a bunch, and arrange them in an editing project: move, crop, slice, fade in and out, or crossfade between clips just by overlapping them. You have full control over each track’s volume and panning, and can Mute or Solo as needed. And best of all, you needn’t fear trying out changes: Ferrite has great Undo/Redo — even if you quit the app and come back a month later, you can still undo all the way back to the moment you created your project! — Advanced Features — Need more? Ferrite also includes: • Automatic ducking: set tracks to “duck under” others (e.g. ducking music behind voiceovers). • Strip Silence: Carves away all the silent sections from a recording, making it easy to edit the remaining audio. • (iPad only) Split View and Slide Over support: Use Ferrite side-by-side with other apps. Recording a narration? Open another app with your script and place Ferrite down the side of the screen. Or open the User Guide in Safari on one side while you learn Ferrite on the other. With a single In-App Purchase, you can unlock many additional tools, including: • Preview at up to 2× speed • Prepare your audio for production with Noise Reduction and Auto Levelling. • Add professional effects to your tracks such as EQ, Noise Gate and Dynamic Range Compression, for projects that sound clean and engaging. • Automate volume, panning and effects settings so they vary over time, both on individual tracks and the final mix. • Tighten Audio can automatically take out awkward pauses and gaps. • Producing a podcast or series? Create a template to get each new episode off to a flying start. • Add cover art, chapters and more. • Found the perfect settings for an effect or tool? Save them as a Preset for re-use in other projects. • Audio Unit Extensions: if you have other apps installed that provide effects as Audio Unit Extensions, they’ll show up in Ferrite, where you can add them to tracks or projects. • Advanced search, smart folders, and template folders.

Still the best iPad app I have

It's been yet a couple more years since I last updated my review. Ferrite is the biggest reason I still have an iPad. It is indispensable for my podcast editing. While for my purposes I haven't made full use of everything it's capable of, what I care about is that it continues to be steady and reliable through various interface/OS updates, so I happily continue to subscribe!

Glad to hear you’re finding it useful! Regarding microphones/headphones, an iPad/iPhone can only record using a single audio device at a time (you can use multiple mics at once, but they need to be connected to a single audio interface, mixer or similar), and automatically switches itself to the most-recently-connected device — this decision is made by iOS, without consulting Ferrite. You might be able to override it yourself using Control Center on your iPhone/iPad, or by disconnecting and reconnecting the device you want to use so that it’s the most recent, or, if your microphone has its own headphone socket, by connecting headphones directly to that, so only one device is connected to the iPhone/iPad. Hope that helps!

Will there ever be a way you could make it where you can record with both front and back stereo mics activated at the same time? That would really make it great! Also, is there a possible to make it better record more than an hour? Thanks!

Developer Response
Hello! Although the free version is limited to one hour per recording, Ferrite 3 Pro can record for many hours, the main limit is the storage space you have available on your device. For technical reasons, we don’t recommend trying to edit a podcast more than about 24 hours long. When you record in stereo using the iPhone’s built in mic, it’s already using multiple mics in different places on the device in combination to synthesise a stereo signal. If you need to record both in stereo and both forwards and backwards at the same time, you probably need to look into an external audio interface and 4 microphones. Note that as a radio/podcast editor, at this time, Ferrite doesn’t support surround sound editing, you’d need to split the channels and set them up as 2x stereo. If you need more assistance with this, or with long-duration recordings, please contact us directly using the Customer Support link inside the app with details on what you’re trying to do. Thanks!

I got this app thinking I could make voice sound all funky and make my ukulele sound better but then I realized that I have to get a pass to do all this cool stuff but all I can do is change my volume!My dad looked up apps good for what I want to do and the reviews say good things but it’s so disagreeable that I left this review.I will keep this app for a little bit longer and if I still can’t figure out my problem I’m leaving a 1 star review.PS:just so everyone knows I am not a music writer.I just do it for fun.

May be the perfect rapid podcast editor

I don't write a lot of reviews but I am a heavy user of software, do deep comparisons when purchasing it, and in fact earn my living from developing Cloud-based business apps (I even DJ'ed and mixed Audio decades ago). Therefore I hope it holds some weight for you when I say how great an audio editor Ferrite Recording Studio is for our business's rapid podcast editing workflow. The library file managment, the super intuitive editing, the powerful features (audio stripping, easy automation, great visualization) are well thought out, fast-to-master, and over-all the app is rock solid. It's also more than a fair price when compared to other ways of obtaining similar features that require much more complex products with very long learning curves - who's got the time? In fact we purchased an iPad Pro just to use this great app! Combining Audio Hijack, Ferrite Recording Studio, and Auphonic gives us a powerful, flexible and fast workflow (granted we switch between computer and iPad to get it all done), for generating our soon-to-be release weekly podcast at SavvyPCI. Enjoy Ferrite Recording Studio, it's that rare app that makes all the right trade-offs. It's thoughtfully and carefully designed for podcast editors who want to be super productive and fast! Kudos Wooji Juice!!
