Voice Record Pro 4+

Powerful and elegant. I've tried them all. For songwriting, this is the best recording app on the market. Key features: 1. Bookmarking. With ability to shift the start time of the bookmark by different amounts. I call this the “Burt Bacharach” feature because of his wish to have this kind of audio recording feature. 2. Simple “section extract”. So when you stumble on a killer 30 seconds of songwriting inspiration in a 30 minute session and you want to carve out that chunk and save it as a new file. Great implementation of that feature. 3. Flexible and easy way to backup songs to multiple cloud services. 4. Autorepeat. A must have for songwriting. 5. Easy to import Apple Voice Memos. 6. Note taking. 7. Identifies the notes I play on my guitar during playback. So I can go back and figure out what I played. 8. File organization is prolific. Every option you can think of. Has a ton of other stuff as well: All the main file formats. Easy to share with others. Nice implementation of audio effects to enhance the sound.

Note: There are two versions that are essentially identical. There is Voice Recorder Pro. And then there is Voice Record 7. The only difference is that Voice Record 7 has a more modern, flat design. I like this version best.

Update: I've used this app for four years now and still consider it top of the line. The advanced edit allows you to cut out middle sections of a recording easily. It's visual too - easy to go right to the problem area based on height of audio spikes. Speaking and comments are usually narrow bands compared to the wide bands when music or vocals are located in your recording.

I use this app to record vocal tracks for sound qualifying. It is a one step process to convert a recording to MP3 format. It sends the MP3 as an email attachment to easily share with others. I like the feature that allows you to trim a recording and save to a new file. Great for cutting out conversations prior or after a vocal recording or just selecting a section of the music to focus on when practicing or sharing with others. Moving recordings to a folder involves checking a box, then move to folder to separate from recordings organized by date recorded or imported. Importing from Dropbox is easy and allows access between IPhone, IPad and desktop computers. I upgraded to the paid version and thought it was a true bargain. I've paid for other recording apps and quit using them because this app is the best.

I’am a lifelong musician and have been the recording person for every session since 1970 that I’ve played with. Reel to Real - cassettes- multitracks recorders- Digital decks. Just as a backup I downloaded your FREE app and started just leaving the phone wherever I could find a nitch in the session. I don’t know how this app works but y’all must have put magic mixer monkeys from George Martin’s garage in there cause the recording is usually perfect ! Press the button and your off. The added feature of date and time is great also!
Ok point in case, we have a large studio that we meet at and have improvisational jams in the wee hours. We have the state of the art and vintage gear to record with. We had a 35 minute jam that we had to listen to, we gather to listen and realize that the kick drum mic and the Bass mic were basically off and the room mic was too high. Not a great recording, we were sad ! So just as a thought I said I recorded it with “ VOICE RECORD PRO” ! We hooked up my phone and everyone was stunned, the mix was near perfect and sounded great! We all laughter at, us in a million dollar studio listening to an App that trumped the studio!
Thank you so much for this app, you guys rock !
