Spire: Music Recorder & Studio for Positive User Reviews

Really good butCan you update the app so that my recording saves to my camera roll.Version: 2.19.1

Need help urgently!The app is great and ive been using it for ever but just starting from today its started crashing everytime i want to open the! Ive got lots of saved files in the app i dont want to loose! Could someone lend a hand?.Version: 2.30.0

Latest UpdateI actually like this device for a number of reasons. Easy to use & designed & manufactured in my area. Latest update must have done something to yield less than desirable results. I had 15 minutes to capture an idea & lost it due to some unknown malfunction. Had everything ready to go & the device connected to iPhone X. Performed sound check & attempted to record but no monitoring or recording took place. Multiple restarts & troubleshooting yield no success. Opted to go with my go to which is iPhone voice memos. Frustrated & disappointed that I lost critical time. I have used voice memos for years & it’s the only thing that does not let me down when I need to capture ideas on the fly. Maybe that’s all I need if Spire can’t deliver on the simplest of tasks. So disappointed in what ever Spire did with my expensive idea recorder..Version: 2.10.0

Grateful for SpireI have been a musician for 33 years, and I checked on a whim one day to see if a mobile, multi-tracking app even existed and Spire appeared. I’m so grateful for this app and how quickly I am able to “save” musical ideas and hit record within seconds so that fleeting ideas are not lost forever. I’m writing the best music of my entire life, and Spire is a tremendous reason for that! *If I could improve anything, I would make folders available to group instruments, songs or ideas together to stay more organized and if I go listen to an old recording, I wish it would not take me back to the very top every time..Version: 2.17.0

Spire studioI go by the Stage name Towi-Zaza And I encourage all upcoming artists or even professional artists to make use of the Spire Studio, because it is very efficient. I can testify, it’s is also easy to use, once you are able to get used to the function and understand them better. Also very easy to send out files in different formats, in general I will also add that this has saved me a lot of money, as regards to studio recordings session, also saves me the time and energy and also the process of working in the studio. Not saying Studio work is not very important, but we all know you cannot sleep inside the studio, but you can carry the spire studio everywhere with U like I do. 😇.Version: 2.64.0

LoveeeBeen using for years, so useful for when I wanna later harmonies.Version: 2.64.0

PracticalGreat potential in this app, muso's will agree. Straight out of the box it has plenty of upsides, with simplicity among the top. A trim function would be handy ofcoarse, and further format versatility. Maybe an import function, idk?...I'm not complaining, this is one of,if not,the best free app i've seen! Well done!.Version: 1.0.0

I’m Totally In-SpiredSpire is a game changer! Years ago I had written a bunch of songs on my guitar, and recorded them on my tape recorder (remember those?). And there they sat. If you’ve ever written a song, they’re (almost) like children to you, even if they’re bad. I felt like I had abandoned them. But I never forgot them, continually wondering how I could take them to the next level. I tried buying recording software, but it was way beyond my technical ability. Then I discovered Spire. I was blown away by it’s capabilities and ease of use. It’s pretty much idiot proof. I pulled out my folder containing the lyrics and chords of my old songs, and started playing around in the app. First recorded the guitar, then added vocals. Pleased with the results, I got the little round Spire box, and started using effects. I went out and bought a used bass guitar and keyboard, and got my electronic drum kit out of the closet. I added all the instruments to the mix by myself! I’m about to record my 35th song. The pandemic has afforded me more time to devote to it than I otherwise would have had. I’ve rediscovered my passion for songwriting, I’m learning how to play the bass and the keyboard, and with each song, I’m becoming a more proficient producer. It’s amazing what Spire can do with a poorly written song!.Version: 2.45.0

THE BEST RECORDING APPTHIS IS THE BEST RECORDING APP EVER ME AND MY FIANCÉ HAD A SCUFFLE LONG STORY SHORT SHE BROKE MY LAPTOP I WAS HURT DOWN BAD FOR ALMOST A WHOLE YEAR BUT AROUND MY BIRTHDAY LAST IN SEPTEMBER I FOUND THIS MASTERPIECE APP OFF THE RANDOM LIKE I HAD THE URGE TO RECORD I WAS GONNA USE THE VOICE MEMO APP BUT UNTIL I FOUND SPIRE. IT INSPIRED ME AND STILL TO THIS DAY EVEN IF YOU ARE READING THIS IN THE FUTURE. MY NAME IS TAJ MAHALL ONE OF THE FIRST ARTIST I THINK IN THE DMV TO USE THIS APP TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL NO I DONT HAVE THE SPEAKER (which i will eventually get) BUT RECORDING OFF THE IPHONE ALONE IS TO CRISPY AS IF YOU WAS IN A PROFESSIONAL STUDIO. IDK WHAT MIC THE WHOLE IZOTOPE TEAM USING BUT ITS FREAKING AMAZING AND YOU CAN SEND THE INDIVIDUAL WAV FILES TO A ENGINEER OR MASTER IT YOURSELF ON WHATEVER MIXING/MASTERING DAW YOU USE. BUT YEAH LOOK ME UP ALL PLATFORMS TAJ MAHALL aka TAJ BLACKSHEEP MAHALL BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS MY ALBUM (using Spire) “INSPIRED” WILL BE OUT ON ALL PLATFORMS. HOPE YOU READ MY REVIEW AND CHECK OUT MY MUSIC ITS SOME GOOD TUNES GOOD VIBES. HAVE A BLESSED DAY I LOVE YOU....I LOVE YOU ALL 💯🖤.Version: 2.45.0

Fiddle and guitar player.So easy and smooth. Perfect app for making quick sketches of your music. Multi tracking has never been this easy and intuitive. I would pay for this app. Works perfectly. I have now added the spire studio and it eclipses my 24 track tascam studio. So seamless and easy, great sounds, versatility. I’d use the tascam for something really complex, but the spire almost all the time. Amazing. Simple..Version: 2.22.0

First there was instant coffee now there’s instant music productionBox off recording on. Intuitive. No learning curve. It’s instant. Brilliant software engineers. Thank you..Version: 2.9.0

Best app!Excellent, easy to use app that lets me put down ideas quickly, love it!.Version: 2.20.0

10 out of 10This is a great tool and free — thanks Spire..Version: 2.20.0

Bhutani it’s a nice one but needs quality effects like compressor, Equalizer and reverb proI bought this hardware in 2018 after watching many reviews on YouTube and google .I found it very nice for vocal and instruments recording but I felt something missing that is on the aforesaid .This hardware would be the best if the aforesaid is included in the next update ..Version: 2.36.1

Good but why the subscription to pro??Is useful and well made app but the hardware can only be used as an interface with spire, which is a shame. I would have gladly paid money for the pro version but I can’t stand programs that are subscription. Bad direction to go.Version: 2.41.1

Nice FeaturesWhile I don’t have the stand alone unit I do have the app. I’m familiar with what I can do with other apps on my iPhone like BandLab which I use a lot but one thing you can’t do from the iPhone app is save the stems separately. On the Spire App you can do this, they call them Tracks, and I think that is reason alone to use the app for initial recordings. I’d have to have a Spire Studio to know if it would end up replacing my other recording mics and apps for the Spire and Spire Studio..Version: 2.64.0

This is a great little appStacking takes is easy and fun. My favourite new way to get ideas down. Add a very simple verb and eq, and it’s an easy 5 stars!.Version: 2.19.1

Great sound qualityAs an artist, I really get a clean clear sound for voiceover auditions and jingles. A great addition in this ever changing recording industry. Would love a DAW program from Spire for my desktop. Would definitely purchase..Version: 2.31.0

Just one thingIt’s really good - although I wish there was an option to upload to YouTube since I don’t get how SoundCloud works.Version: 2.10.0

AwesomeAn awesome app, highly recommend it, does what it says it’s meant to do and just all round excellent app.Version: 2.22.0

The fastest quick demosThe Ultimate way to record your ideas without technology getting in the way. Simple, fast, flexible and unrivalled. I love this app. Every song idea recorded super fast and multitracked up to 8 tracks so when return to work on the song you don’t find yourself thinking .... oh how did that go again. Export the multitracks too if you want. Genius..Version: 2.5.0

Amazing.I do best when recording solo. This app has allowed me to do so with exceptional quality and it’s so user friendly. The things I would love to see in the future would be: basic effects. I would love to be able to add some basic reverb or chorus effects to eliminate the need to take up precious track space with multiple vocals. Maybe like 3 effects? That’s all you really need. Also, I’ve seen in other recording software a “solo” option meaning I can isolate one track to listen to to find that one later I want to delete without having to individually muting a bunch of tracks to find the one I want to delete. I see you’ve put the option to add an icon to tracks to help distinguish what instrument is featured on each track but that’s not enough when it comes to layering vocals etc. soloing a track would be much quicker. Anyways, great app and great quality! Thanks!.Version: 2.7.1

ReviewRecommend for everyone!.Version: 2.20.0

Best Studio App available!I’ve used Spire Studio for close to 2 years to do professional recordings that have been used in radio advertisements, tv commercials, and a few industry releases. It has a great built-in Mic with a dope Soundcheck feature to give your recordings great volume without clipping. New vocal effects are amazing. Plus several other effects available. One of the best tools is the Mixing window. It is simple enough for beginners to use, but can deliver the same quality and results the pros put out. Export to other Spire users to collab, export to email, or even upload directly to SoundCloud without any extra work. By far the best Studio app I own. Use it on a daily basis. Get Spire Studio, you won’t be disappointed..Version: 2.20.0

Simple, effective and AWESOME sound quality!!!I’m loving it! The day Spire Studio creates some fuzzy or harder overdrive it will be the best recording tool ever!.Version: 2.7.1

High QualitySpire is a high quality audio recording alternative to basic app services, and with the right settings can easily outperform the others on all quality benchmarks. Whether together with other Spire products, as a standalone soundcapture, or even as a part of a larger production suite, this app can really deliver a surprisingly professional sound that unlocks the true potential of your Apple device. If you want results, and value audio clarity, this is the app for you! Thank you, Spire. And have fun, everyone!.Version: 2.64.0

🔥Had it for a year now and find the upgrades to be very useful. As a artist I find it very nice that I can take my time and not spend lots of money at a studio that may not really want to put in the work to make you sound like you want . I’m still learning so it’s a nice machine to help those who aren’t that musically inclined. Personally it was a dream come true for me keep up the good work ppl. PS can we get a way to duplicate or auto tune just asking for a friend..Version: 2.19.1

Easy but powerful, and evolving in the right ways.I upgraded to the Spire Studio v2 and I’m still using the app to start all my tracks. Having used Zen Beats, Cubasis, and GarageBand; I feel that Spire (with the Spire Studio) is the best mobile recording app around. I don’t need all the VSTs and instruments of the competition. I just want high quality takes of my instruments that, and Spire does that. I wish there were more icons. I have a few synths and basically I have to use the Keys icon for all of them. Being able to change the color at least would make sorting and mixing go more smoothly. Otherwise I’m always muting or soloing and figure out which is which..Version: 2.50.0

I couldn’t rate 4.5 stars...I absolutely love this app, I’ve recorded multiple songs that I fell in love with again after using this mobile studio... that being said I only wish it had one thing, some effects for the tracks. When you buy the spire hardware (the desk top mic with all the bells and whistles) for around $500 then you get cool editing and stuff like that, but would it hurt to put some filters on the mobile app? Like reverb, echo, gain, maybe normalize? Or even a white noise suppressor? I’m not asking for every upgrade that comes with the hardware but at least some small things. If the developer could get back to me on this it would be awesome! Like I said, amazing app, amazing software, and awesome recordings come from this app, talent not included, in case you were wondering, lol.Version: 2.8.0

Spire StudioEnjoying using this piece of hardware. It is an instrument. Easy to work with. Had my first song complete in 1 hour. Did not need to sit in front of a computer screen. Works great with an Apple phone. Better than a beat box. Who needs samples?.Version: 2.31.0

Great product !Great product !.Version: 2.12.0

The best of its kindIve tried for years to find a product with the perfect combination of quality and ease of use . as a songwriter i dont want to get bogged down with technical applications that distract me from my goal which to write great songs . Spire delivers that for me..Version: 2.17.0

Am i the only one who wants more track editing??This is an amazing and intuitive app, nearly perfect. I can’t seem to find any way to edit my audio! The “trim” feature is very well-designed, but too limited! For example, if i am recording backup vocals but decide i don’t want to use all the vocals i record, there is no way in this app to delete only the sections I don’t want; you can only delete ALL the audio before or after a trim point. I would gladly pay for a version of this app with more robust editing features and audio effects.Version: 2.6.0

Great tool for songwritersIf you are constantly writing songs and don’t want to interrupt the creative process by sitting in front of a computer, then this is the best solution. It’s incredibly mobile with the rechargeable battery that you can take it anywhere. The built in mic sounds great on instruments and vocals and the interface is so simple and innovative in the way it provides a visual mixing environment. This has improved my productivity enormously vs being stuck behind a desk starting at a computer. Great app and great product..Version: 2.19.1

Love This App.I record all my music with Spire on my phone (iPhone 6, so nothing too modern and fancy!) and upload it directly to Soundcloud. It’s a basic 8-track studio and whilst I’d LOVE to be able to copy and paste bars, (such as my guitar which plays chords all the way through) I can’t complain because I’m able to do what I’d normally have to pay an hourly rate for in the comfort of my own home and at my own leisure. I also like the sound check feature which helps you get your sound levels correct for different instruments/vocals. Thanks for making making music accessible for poor people, Spire. Really can’t recommend enough..Version: 2.31.0

Great app!My computer’s broken down so I can’t write or produce music. This app though allows me to do it on a smaller scale and write songs on a multi track. The inbuilt mic is impressive!.Version: 2.17.0

For starting musiciansThis app could change ur life....Version: 2.48.0

Thank you for this. literallyI really love this app i love listening to music and making it and this app makes that a possibility so you know thanks for making this the only way i can think of improving it is (and i don’t THINK you can do this already but if you can then sorry for bothering you) but importing more than one audio file into the same song? that’d be handy again thanks for this app and have a nice day :).Version: 2.20.0

Mind Blowing!!!Eye have been producing music from my in home stu setup since 2017, izotope has brought my sound quality to the next level with this app + interface. The DAW is super easy to use on mobile, fluid control and in depth editing ability. The mic effects are BEAUTIFUL, Eye was very surprised by how well my track was mixed. Eye wish Eye was able to duplicate tracks; slice, copy & paste. It would also be helpful to expand on the effects library.Version: 2.23

Please updateI feel like we should be able to scroll through the different voice effects, and this is just me but we should be able to copy the recording to maybe add a two voice effect. I’m tired of randomly selecting the voice effect and not being able to go back. There should be more of a open view instead of a little view. Other than that I love the app, made my first song on there and it didn’t disappoint..Version: 2.64.0

Almost thereHello, just wanted to say that this app has some potential. However, there are a few things that I have to suggest. The first one is that I would like some more things to do with your vocal tracks such as echo or reverb. Whenever I record my freestyles to a beat I find my vocals to be very dull and does not sound that good. There are other free apps that sound a little better than this one. The second idea is voiceover support. I have low vision and some parts of the app don’t work such as track editing. It would be cool if you could fix some of those problems. Other than that, that’s all I have. Keep up the good work..Version: 2.31.0

Confidence BoosterWhat’s good world! My names Cino, a songwriter and aspiring artist from the south, and I’m looking to polish my sound and my confidence when recording at a big studio. I hit a home run when I found the Spire App. I’ve been using Spire for 3 months now and instantly I had progressive results in my return to the big studio. Spire allows me to record possibly anywhere I’m most comfortable. I use it to record rough drafts or store hooks, melodies, verses and any other creative content I think of on the go. The app allows you upload beats, create separate tracks and also has a small range of mixing tools. I recommend all pursuing artist that’s looking to build confidence, create limitlessly and save time in the big studios, download the Spire app, not now, but RIGHT NOW!!.Version: 2.43.0

This is a good appI really like this app and how it works although the only update I would like to suggest would be to have the ability to copy and paste sections which would save you time and make it more ‘studio like’ because you are able to do that there..Version: 2.43.0

Jason W.This is my ‘go to’ app for quick scratch pad recording. It is the easiest and quickest app to knock up a quick simple multitrack recording from the moment when an initial new tune comes into your head. Within seconds of pulling your iPhone out of your pocket you are recording ready to hum/play your tune. You can then almost instantly record any overdubs. Quick, quick & quick!..Version: 2.17.0

ExcelenteI love it brilliant software Thanks.Version: 2.9.0

Go-To For Song IdeasI mostly use this to save single track recordings of song ideas. The multiple tracks are great but I rarely have a wired headset with mic to overdub with, and with Bluetooth headphones, there’s too much latency. My number one request, and I hope someone can provide a solution, is a way to bulk transfer all recordings from my phone to my PC. I’ve got far too many to export one at a time. Any solution for this?.Version: 2.64.0

Fun, easy to use, but sad...Everything about this app is amazing. The souls is great and it’s super easy to use. The only problem I’ve run into is creating harmonized parts or overdoubs. I’ll play something in parts so that there’s depth to my song. And every time I try to to add to parts to play at the same time, in the Dane timing... the part that I add is delayed by about a sec. and it totally screws the song up. I don’t know why this is happening if I just need to reset things or something. But other than the delayed track problem this app is great!.Version: 2.32.0

App is good but limitedNo effects in the app without the hardware. Good for basic recording otherwise. I would rate it higher if effects and other extras were included, or at least possible as in-app purchases, for those of us that don’t own the hardware..Version: 2.22.0

Too simple to get lost in. Hooray!The Spire app and Studio hardware are a game changer for me. I’m a slider sliding, knob hobbling, button bumping menu diver with a diving bell helmet on (usually). But this app makes me stick to the music only. Live performance onto a recording is what this system elicits. I can produce final products in half the time because of the automated imbedded plug ins from sound check to the final export. YES the hardware is worth the money. But even the app standalone is a game changer..Version: 2.24.0

Not too shabbyI own a the spire recording device and have the app installed. I use an external mic plugged into the isotope spire and record into spire and mix onto another daw on my phone. Now I like the spire, don’t get me wrong. However I also have an audio interface that works with any daw I plug it into and I can get straight to mixing without having to import files. Now I love what the spire can do, the quality that the vocals can display are great but because I can only record into the spire daw with my spire device I find myself not using it anymore. Now if I could use the izotope spire in any daw, that would be amazing... maybe even making spire and the spire device have audio unit extension capabilities. There are updates that should and probably could happen... but auv3 spire through cubasis? That would most definitely be the best! Hopefully something like that happens and I can use my izotope spire again..Version: 2.28.0

The best investment you can make.I love the Spire Studio! It has helped me develop songs in ways I haven’t been able to before. Having the ability to multi track a song within minutes with virtually zero setup and have it sound studio quality is priceless. I was even able to take demos I created on the Spire Studio and bring them to the recording studio and continue to build the tracks from there. I even did over dubs using the Spire. Saved me a lot of time and money on my last album. I can’t recommend this device enough..Version: 2.12.0

WowAwesome sound.Version: 2.24.0

Best PIECE OF EQUIPMENT EVER MADE FOR A RECORDING ARTIST!!!Big Big shoutout to Spire & Izotope 💯 This is the best investment I’ve ever made! I’ve been using Spire Pro since 2020 and the quality is so amazing that everyone assumes it was recorded, mixed & mastered at an actual studio 🤣 When I tell them my setup they call me a Legend lol. The credit belongs to y’all for creating such a masterpiece💯Y’all are the real Legends! I would definitely recommend to ANY & EVERYONE looking to start recording at home or on the go!.Version: 2.43.0

Good appMight be one of the best app to record my music ideas. I only wish more layers could be added rather than just 8.Version: 2.64.0

Amazing AppAfter searching for software to record playing my sax playing with background piano I stumbled onto this. This app is amazing in its simplicity for recording multiple tracks and then sharing the file (project) or tracks. I have been using it on my iPad just with built in microphone. I can simply import a piano score previously saved in my music then play my sax on a separate track along with it. My mind is churning with the possibilities this will make. While the quick short videos may do it for someone who knows the system it doesn’t for someone trying to learn it. I am sold and just ordered the Spire Studio saving tons of money to achieve my goal of a simple studio. Keep it up. You guys Rock in my book!.Version: 2.19.1

Brilliant DeviceI used this device to record my EP i couldn’t live without it, makes recording fun and easy..Version: 2.11.0

Super!It is great. I only wish there was a way? To record more tracks and/or combine tracks...maybe there is, I just haven't figured it out.....Version: 1.1.0

Please if you can add more tracksI do like to set up I use voice over and it works very well with that. But eight tracks isn’t good enough because I don’t record a song all the way through. So by the time I’m done with all of my recordings I still have the third verse and the chorus to finish if there was more tracks than I could record more. I know this may illuminate a feature. But maybe once you hit the record button a second time maybe you can still stay on that same track until you manually want to move to the third track.Version: 2.52.0

Well doneI’ve tried other similar apps, and honestly nothing is even comparable. Spire is great for a hobbyist looking to explore creating music and actually getting solid audio output. Thanks..Version: 2.33.0

SpireSpire is really good.Version: 2.44.0

Good, but not totally accessible for blind usersI am a blind user. I purchased the Spire Studio on a recommendation. After the initial trouble of syncing the recorder with the app without being able to see the blinking lights to perform the operation, I have finally been able to use it. The sound I get with my guitar is amazing. The app could use some fine tuning for accessibility... not all parts are clearly labeled, and I am able to mix different tracks, sort of. But still trying to figure it out. Apparently there’s no manual. If a little more work were to be put in to make the app more blind user friendly, and some instructions to go with it, that would be wonderful and I would revise my 4 to a 5. If you are blind or V.I., be ready to put in some time with trial and error, and don’t use any important files until you have a grasp on the platform, or if you have backups..Version: 2.36.1

So drunk looking for exactly this appI’m very drunk and was getting annoyed that the apps to make music were utter tripe. Then I found this bad boy. Each layer is a new bit of genius you can add and become the greatest musician this little world has ever seen. Plus the ease to send the next best number 1 the top WhatsApp group, class. I am loving life and this app just let me enjoy it more..Version: 2.20.0

Spire and studio appWhen I recorded a song it’s sounds awesome. It’s the best app ever I love this app that’s for this. Happy for you to publish this. This is the best app ever. Wow I went on this app and it was better than I thought thanks for this app I love it. Thanks 😁.Version: 2.29.0

Really amazingI’ve only been using this app for about an hour now but this is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a mobile app for YEARS! Spire is the perfect musical notebook and workspace to play with new ideas. Keep up the good work, guys!.Version: 2.18.0

Spire is amazingI’ve had this app for a ling time and haven't used it much until I started exploring it but it has been helping with getting the best audio and a lot of high quality sound for my tracks that I've been making (I’m a musician that plays many instruments. However, the thing I enjoy most is beatboxing and thats what I do most). My interest in this app is exponential and I use this app just about every time I'm making a new routine for beatboxing or other things as well now. Thank you for making this amazing app! It has helped me grow as a musician and not just as a beatboxer. -Ty “AdventBBX” Allen.Version: 2.13.0

Recording in your comfort zoneWhat can I say about how convenient this machine is. First of all, amazing quality. You record your tracks for a simple project or you send those tracks to your DAW or anyone else’s if you need to make it a bigger project and go from there. Basically, I use it’s my interface and it’s so easy to use..Version: 2.23

Great AppA pretty flawless, simple recorder that's excellent for recording multiple tracks as a means of practice or writing. Not necessarily meant to be used for more than just an ideas kennel but it's really a musicians tool. Would greatly benefit from being able to trim segments rather than the entire beginning or end of a recording..Version: 2.2.0

Spire studioWithout a doubt the easiest gizmo to use and the sound quality incredible..Version: 2.15.0

A brilliant app!A really easy to use, well put together app that enables quick recording and basic mixing (levels and panning). Really enjoyable to use..Version: 2.6.0

Best recording app paid for or notI have fallen in love with this app and it has taken my music soaring to new heights. As a singer/songwriter it is amazing to write a song and then record it right from my phone and then share that with all my devices. You can’t sing one chorus perfect and then cut and paste it through out the song so you have to know your material and you can’t enhance edit and filter each individual track so you have to learn to produce the sound your looking for yourself but I like that. I think the newest update introduced some new features so sorry if I’m selling you guys short spire but all I want people to take away from this is “best recording app paid for or not”.Version: 2.64.0

AmazingCannot believe how good this is. It has everything you’d need for a mini studio. AND then there’s the pro effects..Version: 2.64.0

Innovative, with room for improvementThe Spire hardware + iOS app is a pioneering combination of hardware and software, but it has some frustrating limitations. Bulk transfer of projects from the Spire Studio -> iOS device is sorely missing, so backing up projects is a chore that involves tapping each one and waiting for it to transfer before moving on to the next. And if you are hoping to use your recorded audio files in a DAW, there is no way to access your files directly via the native iOS Files app (which is also integrated with MacOS) — instead you need to open each project individually within the Spire app and export the raw audio files from there. I currently have over 100 Spire projects and the audio feels “locked in” because exporting the audio from each project is so cumbersome. It would take me hours just to get the raw audio files onto my laptop. Also, the amps/effects for guitar are underwhelming and generally sound thin. A $40 AmPlug 2 from Vox sounds much better. Still: this is a unique and compelling device that does some things, like quickly tracking vocals and raw guitar takes, very well. It is great being able to start recording on the Spire Studio within ~30 seconds (including soundcheck) without having to look at a screen. I hope iZotope continues to invest in it..Version: 2.35.0

Really goodNice. You have notes to write your lyrics, you can set a time signature and a tempo and a you simply record. You can make up to 8 tracks which for a notes app is more than enough. Frankly if you’re not making anything too fancy you could probably just make all your music with this. Only problem I’ve had so far is when recording, I needed to use headphones to stop the music leaking to another audio track, but the Bluetooth headphones has a delay meaning I can’t sync my guitar track and singing track. Of course, the solution is to plug it in, but would be nice if you could move the audio file so they are in the correct timing without needing a wire..Version: 2.64.0

RobboExcellent app.Version: 2.64.0

ExcellentThank u.Version: 2.23

PerfectGreat great great. Nothing bad to say about it. There are a few minor adjustments that would make the app better but even in this state it’s perfect. If possible they should add better effects in the pro version it’s not worth paying for those few options. Also add more tracks to record. After 8 tracks you have to layer the tracks by recording over them in empty places vs having a fresh track. Anyhow I love the mobile studio haven’t found anything to compare & the mic is great! Perfect app!.Version: 2.64.0

I love this AppIt lets me record loads of songs I love this app sooooooo much you should get it if you would like to record songs..Version: 2.48.0

GreatSpire could hardly be better for being free. I would really recommend. Great UI and sound quality. The only qualm I have about it is that when I go and trim all tracks right in the front, I end up with that much white space which is kind of annoying. But other than that, it’s a gr8t app altogether..Version: 2.16.0

CarlLove this app, does everything and more I’ve been crying out for in terms of simplicity of song recording and idea capture and yet still possesses the scope to progress to professional level with the interface, amazing work 👍🏻😀.Version: 2.8.0

CoolHi, app sounds great. how do you delete a project though.Version: 2.38.0

MusicI love it but I wish you could do a video so it is a music video🎵.Version: 2.64.0

In-Spire’dI have been using Spire for nearly 2 years now and have recorded about 200 songs on this excellent device that continues to improve as more features are added. Although I use Spire mostly for ideas and demos, I have also achieved several releases with tracks solely recorded and mixed on Spire. I would highly recommend Spire to any songwriter or musician at whatever stage they are as the perfect tool to develop their craft. You don’t need to be a technical wizard as it is straightforward to use and you don’t need a designated studio space as it very easily portable with a long battery life. Overall I would say that the Spire is excellent and an invaluable asset to any music creator. Gwyn Jones.Version: 2.64.0

Review for SpireGreat app for sharing audio content and shining the light you have within!.Version: 2.52.0

Best free multitrack recording app so farBest free multitrack recording app I’ve tried so far. No lantency, sounds good, easy level and pan mixing parameters - and 8 channels is a good amount to get a sketch down. Thanks Izotope!.Version: 2.43.0

SpireTurns my mic into something else!.Version: 2.25.0

Simple and very usefulGreat free app for laying down ideas very quickly. Love it!.Version: 1.0.0

Demo Glory!!!Been looking for something like this for years. Live monitoring/playback on my earbuds while recording the mic on my phone! Majorly useful for demoing ideas. Almost like a brainless 4-track recorder. So unbelievably easy to use. Cool mixing UI design. You can’t do fancy DAW things... and that’s the best part. Would give 5 stars if I could access a simple eq on each track for less than $60/yr. oof..Version: 2.45.0

Enfin!Fantastique ! Et le son!!'.Version: 1.0.0

SpireIt’s awesome I just got it and I can’t sleep I’m so excited with it I wished it had vocal harmony on effects.Version: 2.19.1

Really Unreal Recorder - Spire is FireThis is absolutely hands-down one of the best apps I’ve ever used on my phone it’s incredibly powerful for an iPhone app or anything really. The app itself and Spire have made an unreal amount of progress over the past few months, it seems like every time I open it they’ve added some new tweak, improvement or update and it continues to get better. I’ve been pro since the beginning and well worth the subscription price and more... really good developer team. Couple super nit-picky wishes / ideas: -in same way you can import a base sound I wish you could import just like a short (ten second) clip into a channel... like for example a producer tag or a sound effect. -I like the the ‘inspire me’ effects; but I wish you could either (a) delete and/or hide the ones you don’t want or (b) favorite the ones you do so you can find them more easily, they are very cool but so many to sort through that I forget the name or want to compare fewer against each other to find the best one. - Canyou not do the effects and inspire me together on the same track? Seems like right now if I add one it removes the other effect (which is fine just curious) Thanks you guys for all that you do, fantastic job and always improving! Rating 10 / 10. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!.Version: 2.56.0

Uploading on Spire automatically gives them rights to use your music however they wish.Does this mean you are saving our content even after we delete it? This would be an interesting case for the courts (lol I’m a law student). These term (below) in the agreement don’t make sense and can be challenged . If I don’t grant rights to my content you cannot use it by assuming rights just because I downloaded your software and use your hardware. Yes I’m aware it will be used in the development of the machine but you can’t just reproduce peoples work without permission. IZotope could get into a lot of hot water for something like this. My question is why you would you even want to do this in a time like this when everyone is learning and knowing more and more about their rights. I use Spire without fear because I know that these terms can be challenged and it’s not reasonable to the users.

Amazing user interfaceLooking for a multitrack recorder that does not hog my memory. So easy to use, amazing export functions. Great sound...best first impression of an app. I never write reviews, so kudos to the team!.Version: 1.2.1

Good app however it keeps kicking me out?There seems to be a problem with opening the app at all as it just exits almost immediately upon launching it. Kinda sucks cause all my projects are still on there. Hasn’t really been buggy in the past, please try to fix it if possible, thanks..Version: 2.24.0

Good, but find out what is going on in iOS...I use a ton of Izotope stuff on the desktop, Ozone Advanced, Nectar, Iris 2, and more. What I don’t get is why big Desktop developers don’t research what is actually going on in iOS that makes it great: AUv3, IAA, Audiobus. Have Propellerhead, Izotope, Shure, NI not even looked into the possibilities available to make their very good apps compatible with these options? It never seems that way, and the whole development process for them seems quite walled garden in philosophy. For me and (yes, over 10,000 FB iPad Musician members who btw also use hardware and desktop stuff) thousands of other it is simply not good enough to bother with most of the time when there is all that connectivity available from the little guys. Pay attention, please..Version: 2.12.0

Finally!A great little app that lets you share to social media... YES!.Version: 2.8.0

It’s just- I can’t describe itThis app was amazing. I was thinking this might be another bum app that I wouldn’t be able to figure out how to use but it wasn’t. It was clear as day to me. I used this to make a song for my girlfriend and I have to admit even I cried when I realized how well it came out. All my emotions were caught in it and I was able to add some extra things to it to make it sound better. I’m glad this app was made. You don’t know how much this means to me. If u don’t get enough downloads then these people don’t know what real stuff is. I have u guys to thank for this opportunity to make music for myself and loved ones.Version: 2.40.0

This little device is a game changerWe have PreSonus Studio 5 Professional and it’s way too much studio for our needs. Got our Spire yesterday and started in today. In less than an hour we had composed and recorded an instrumental track. Imported the drums from PreSonus then recorded rhythm, lead, bass guitar and organ parts. Plugged all the instruments straight in and used the provided amps. Mixing was so easy the cat could have done then shared it with our band members and on social media. Had a listen and even on a phone the sound really sparkles. All I can add is get one, you won’t be disappointed..Version: 2.30.0

Literally perfectThis is the best app I’ve ever used oh my GOD thank you so much I’ve been looking for this exact app for so long.Version: 2.16.0

Wicked appGreat app . The only app I have found that will let you import a instrumental and recorded over it in good quality. This app has not let me down . It’s great for recording and having a play with . Great job to the app developer.Version: 2.10.0

A non pro review ( Without subscription)Great app for non pro singers gets a little fuzzy when you have to many layers though but I haven’t payed so yeah great app!.Version: 2.64.0

Great productThis is one of the best recording applications for the iPhone or iPad (especially paired with the spire studio) however I wish the iPad app could rotate to landscape!.Version: 2.51.0

IPhone appIncredible, I am a deeply suspicious technophobe, picked it up, pressed record and it did exactly what I wanted, totally blown away, happy for you to publish my review, this is just amazing!!!!!!!!!.Version: 2.8.0

Awesome with the Spire HardwareWhat I would do for some simple programmable drums! Not too hard though to create a drum track in GarageBand and then copy it over though. Love it carry the Spire round everywhere.Version: 2.10.0

Just Missing a few thingsReally love this device and what it can do. However there are two main things i would like to see on the app side of things. 1st is the ability to mix tracks down to a single track like you could do on the old 4/8 tracks and then have another 7 tracks to keep adding with. 2nd is some level of post production, I understand the device is aimed at musicians who want to cut thru all the hang ups of traditional recording etc but you guys really have something here that could be much more than that. Im not saying to go crazy but maybe a 4 band eq for starters and then add some basic easy stuff that others have mentioned. Again not looking for pro tools just some tools to tweak and shape the sound a little more. Add it as an upgrade pack in app purchase or whatever i would definitely be interested in something like that keep up the good work and looking forward to some future updates.Version: 2.8.0

Le son est parfait mais…Bonjours, Will there be a way to adjust the brightness of the lights on the top of the device? I like to play at night with the lights off, but the Spire lights are way too dazzling! Thank’s Merci.Version: 2.64.0

Love itA nice tool to write quick ideas with harmonies or any overdub. Wish it had a simple reverb or EQ but it's great for free..Version: 1.0.0

AwesomeWhat a great collaboration tool!.Version: 2.33.0

Spire izotopeOverall it’s super simple to use. So far it seems to lack anyway to punch in and out to pull two pieces of a track together which make it difficult. You either have to get a track perfect in one take or try to punch in on the same track to continue the recording which is tough to do. Maybe I just can’t figure out how to do it yet but everything else is really simple so it seems it’s just not an option. For just recording a vocal track, and individual instrument tracks and layering them it’s great, but anything more doesn’t seem doable..Version: 2.15.0
