- Use it as a field recorder. Record a lecture, your band's rehearsal, keep track of your thoughts.
- Record a cover song and show off your vocals: pick a loop, have a friend play guitar (keys, synth etc.), add a bass line and then sing or rap over it.

Still my go to. I have been using this app since day 1 and continue to use this more often than any for quick ideas. I’m from the portastudio cassette days and this is the digital version. Keep it simple. Faster and easier than GarageBand. I’m also always surprised by quality I get just using the iPhone mic. And add drum loops, for 5 or 10$?! I paid 1k for a multitrack tape deck years ago!

Never Reviewed An App. Edit: 2019 update, still the best 4$ I have ever spent on music. — Seriously, this thing is more powerful than most studios in the 90’s. I am amazed at how light and powerful this DAW is. It turns my iPhone 7+ into a recording machine that is quick, efficient, and easy to migrate products from. 5 stars, two thumbs, etc. Et al. Edit: One year and a half later I apparently forgot that I ever wrote a review for this and came here to say that I have never reviewed an app before and— but apparently I have. I still love Studio Mini, I have made so many songs on this and it’s really simple to use for getting started with learning DAWs and continues being useful even after. I moved internationally and had to leave a lot of my gear behind but luckily I still had this until I can actually get some amps and mics.

Studio Mini. Love it. Great app to record demos or just noodle around with sounds. File export could be better, and make sure you back up your jams. Recently upgraded a phone and lost everything! Still a very solid app though.

Great but please add panning!. Needs panning feature please...

Awesome!!!. This thing is perfect!! Basic, great drum grooves, no bells or whistles to slow you down when capturing a fleeting idea! LOVE IT!!!!

Great App!. I was around when the Fostex 4-track tape deck was revolutionary. To think I can do it all with an iPhone now is mind blowing. This app is the perfect solution for comping song ideas anywhere or anytime.

Great for ideas!. This is the app I was looking for, simple and very easy to use. I think it’s a great app to layer some ideas or even practicing solos with the guitar, voice harmonies etc... I love it.

If only. If there was even a single tutorial on how to use this it would be sooooo awesome yummy

No longer mixes. My first purchased this app in 2017 and loved it. I've been trying to mix down some songs to upload to my computer and it no longer works. There is no way to get any help as their website isn't working at the time I wrote this. UPDATE: the company reached out to me to offer their assistance which is awesome.

I think this is a great app!. I know there's a lot missing from Octopod that one would desire in a recording app (panning, etc) but for just $3 you can't go wrong. This same program on a computer would've cost a whole lot more just 10 years ago. The drum loops sound great (again for just $3 and a handheld device, yes they do sound great). I don't give it 5 stars because of a desire for additional features like panning, BPM control on the drum loops (impossible because they're great sounding samples, but some non-metronome bpm controllable loops would be nice) MIDI or more tracks, and because inputs, outputs and monitoring can be a tricky issue. The videos on their website make it look easy, but I tried a line in from a mixer L+R RCA to the headphone jack of the iPhone and it didn't work. The 1/8" jack of my cable is the standard two rings...but I know you need 3 rings to do an input into the headphone jack. The video also doesn't explain how they monitor what's already recorded on the iPhone. I intend to get a Belkin microphone that goes into the USB port of the iPhone that also has a 1/8" stereo line in input ($80 at the Apple store but I'm gonna shop around). I'll use that for my inputs and then monitor out of the iPhone's headphone jack, then I'll be rocking!

Great app. I usually don't rate stuff but I figured I'd throw the developers a bone because this app is really handy. No bells and whistles, just a good interface, and it runs well.

Middling Program with major limitations. This software is quite an achievement compared to 4 track recorders from days of yore. Having said, once you get beyond its ability to allow you to lay down basic layered tracks on a phone - an iPhone 8 in my case – the apparent features frustrate rather than spawn creativity. The problem is, the year is not 1995 and even back then, 4-tracks allowed for flexibility in adding vocal effects and provided inputs for drum machines with a range of tempos. This does neither, at least without high-tech savvy, and missing both those, a musician will experience huge frustration with the results. I’ve recorded many a tune at an undesired pace, overly rushed or too draggy, and it’s a big disappointment to hear those songs now. And choices of reverb or echo would greatly enhance the experience also, but sadly, nada. Added to that, there is no ability here to “punch-in” so any performance errors require the entire track to be stopped and redone. Big loss on that. Finally, nothing can be played externally from within the program over Bluetooth, so forget about checking out an early mix in your car or Airplay. All in all, for high schoolers or young amateurs, this has some usefulness, but unless the developers are actually active on improving this, keep expectations very low. None of these things have been dealt with in the year or more I’ve had the program. Too bad.

Prepare to be impressed. I'm a singer and I REALLY appreciate how fast I can record my song ideas. Its super easy to begin a new recording session and I can get a mix emailed to my guitarist & producer from the app which is awesome. Sound quality is totally pro. We've imported tracks from StudioMini into Pro Tools for songs we're working on for my new album. Just plain awesome.

The best there is.. I’ve tried a bunch of recording apps and this one is by far the best. It not only sounds the best but is very user-friendly. The mic sounds amazing!

Trash app.. Don’t see what gets people so excited about it. Limitations upon limitations....for the price of 5 dollars. There are free apps better than this for basic recording. I’m a professional media producer. I was made curious by all the positive reviews. Now, I’m feeling ripped off. Skip this and buy Multitrack DAW.

I love this app!!. I downloaded this during covid when my flute ensemble couldn’t get together and would record three of the parts in our quartet pieces and then play along with that recording. It was the closest I could get to playing with my fellow flute players at the time. The app is so simple to use. I tried this with more complicated apps and got so lost in trying to figure out how to work them I gave up. But this little gem is perfect. I hope they keep it going. I’d be more than happy to pay for it.

Doesn’t work with Bluetooth headphones. Doesn’t work with Bluetooth headphones. Pain to export files. Was a good program but sadly outdated at this point.

Total crap. The recorded sound is garbled and very distorted. Do NOT buy this app, like I did. No way to get your money back.

Worth it even if you have others. Great app for throwing ideas together, love the simplicity of it. There are some features I do wish it had (like a way to scroll trough time to listen to specific parts* or cut /trim audio segments..) but I also feel like being limited is part of the point of the app. I find that this works very well at what it does. Not a full studio, nor do I think it was it intended to be one, but it’s a wonderful tool and worth having for brainstorming ideas or recording demos. I wish there was a deluxe version too, love being able to work so quickly when creating, but would be great to be able to have a little more editing ability or at least a scrolling ability so you could punch in at or listen to certain points and not have to start over each time *Edit: I can’t believe I’ve been using the app this long and didn’t catch that you can scroll through playback- I still think it’d be handy to be able to use that to start recording at a particular point in the song - another suggestion would be having the loop track also have recording function so you could use that as either a loop or a 5th track? Bottom line Overall I really love this app and have no complaints, I was hesitant but had I known how much I’d end up using and enjoying it.. totally worth it. Thanks for making a cool product.

Clean and simple!. I’ve had this app on multiple iOS devices and have enjoyed using it. Simple interface, file system, and sound quality is good.

Wow a new update!. Thank you so much for taking care on this wonderful app. StudioMini has been with me for a long time and is very useful for my writing songs and even my musical projects.

A must have if you....... The app is off the hook if you have a Roland micro cube with its aux input jack to plug into and record to backing beats of every genre at your choice of BPM. I recorded some random chops on my guitar and recorded it with the app. Totally AWESOME!!

So much fun. I have used this for a year and don’t use my Tascam any more. I wish I could have 2 of them on my phone. I would like to be able to organize the songs in an order. Also I would like to be able to text songs to friends but you can not

Suh-weeet!. Awesome! Easy to use and less cumbersome than Garage Band. Wish you could pan tracks- that’s the only thing

Avoid this one. The instructions is a page not found screen. It won’t access the mic, nor is there a button to access the mic. The user manual is the opposite of helpful. Based on the buttons, if it worked the you’d have a nice fourtrack. They won’t help you either.

Importing Music And Effects. I would suggest rather than having one import a music track into a channel. You should make it a feature to import a music track into the loops section. I would also consider having the ability to add effect to vocals!

good pocket recorder. i got this instead of buying a self contained recording unit. works very well for what i want it for, namely learning tunes. the recording quality is really quite amazing. would love to see a couple of features though. it would be really nice to have a pause button during recording and a way to make sure you don't accidentally record over previous recorded material. the little light on the track showing a full track is not quite enough in my opinion and it automatically goes back to the beginning when you hit record. i'd like to be able to add on. The other thing that would be nice is speed control so you can speed up or slow down the playback. this is not strictly speaking the function of a recording device but it would be nice not to have to export the track to manipulate the speed. Add these things and I would give 5 stars easy.

No panning!. Without the ability to pan during your mix down, you cannot produce a “stereo” signal! Had I known this, I wouldn’t have purchased this app....... Supposedly, this feature is in the works, however....the latter remains to be seen! This is why my rating is ⭐️⭐️

Bluetooth capable :)?. I love the app ive boughten it even for others. Do you think its worth making it play over blue tooth. Bands might buy it even more!

It’s ok. Fun to use but every time I try to email a recording it says set up email and it won’t let my from my phone. I was under the impression that this can all be done be phone

Used to be good. It all changed about a year ago. Now all I get is major feedback.

Useless. No help on issues

Best mobile recording app. I’ve used this app for the last 4 years. Love how easy you can capture a song idea. You can even record vocals over karaoke songs you love. I would love a better drum loop with tempo adjustment. In addition, this app is great for emailing your ideas to other people. Super easy to use. And they have a version for iPad. Can’t beat it for the price.

Terrible. Not at all intuitive......look for something else

Absolutely terrible. Audio quality degraded with each subsequent track.

Great app for collaboration. I bought this app to blend music from multiple sources during COVID-19 social distancing for our Sunday worship services. It works well, and the only frustration I have, as mentioned elsewhere, is the app does not play back through Bluetooth. While not critical, I would love to sit and listen to recordings through my Bluetooth speaker, and play with mixing levels to get the best blend, without having to use wired headphones. Still, it is a bargain for the price.

Wish I was able to import without an cpu. Bought this not knowing I needed a computer to import audio. Why would I spend money on a studio app if I had a cpu.

It is pretty good. You can’t punch in and you can’t really mix. But it gets it down.

Priceless. I’ve used this app to capture ideas that have ended up on albums and singles and more importantly most often prompted even better ideas. Someday I’d like to release the things I’ve recorded with it.

Music Recording. I was looking for a pocket sized mic for an iPhone 6, and this works reasonably well. I’ve recorded live Music and solo home guitar/singing, comes out better than the internal mic (less hollow, boomy). It does a good job rejecting crowd noise in public. Several times I’ve recorded and found out it was distorted, once when within about 8 feet of a PA, and once from a loud outdoor concert. Also vocals up close will distort, including normal speaking volume. The “dead cat” wind screen works great, I often record outside with it and without it the wind noise makes the recording unusable even in light wind.

Waste of $5. Crackling sounds on latest iOS update for iPhone XS. No ability to change tempo for stock beats. I mean why on earth do I need to be stuck to a fixed tempo for something. Was looking for a quick way to get musical ideas down and this is definitely not that. Was looking for something like Sonoma wireworks riffworks for iOS. This definitely isn’t it.

can only record one track at a time. useless for my purpose. website is nonexistent and app seems to be abandoned

Wish List. I was using this app. Recently lost my phone therefore losing all recordings. Would love a way to recover recordings. Also would like to be able to cut begins of full recordings so to start over you didn’t have to stop & erase/loose focus.

Vergemanlabs. I have recorded great songs using this app

Great app!. Great little app. I use it every day for ideas especially when I’m not in my studio.

Tracks bleed over to another. Thought this would work like a multi-track recorder. Record on track 1 and then go to record on track 2, track 1 bleeds onto it. Reached out twice for tech support but no response.

VERY RELIABLE APP. I’ve been using Studiomini for 6 years now! And what it lacks in completeness and effects it MORE than makes up for in EASE OF USE. It is the real-deal when it comes to “plug and play”. The sound and clarity is also VERY SUPERIOR. It doesn’t require a lot of preamp boost to get volume. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE STUDIOMINI FOR LAYING DOWN IMMEDIATE SONG IDEAS IN THE MOMENT. (I have tried to get started with Cubasis, Ableton, Auria Pro, et al and they all require LOTS of study and trial and error; not StudioMini ✌🏽)

Wonderful app. Great app to express music creativity so easy to work with

Best thing out there. Been using this for years since back when all I had was an iPod touch 2. Have even exported tracks to desktop for use in full studio recordings. It really is the best thing out there. One tip is to always put dates and any details you can on recording names. I look back on things I recorded years ago and totally forgot about. So glad I found this app and that it remains usable on new iPhones. Oh and the drums are extremely high quality sound

iPhone 7. Can’t seem to get it to work on iPhone 7. First track looked like it started OK but then no response

THE BEST!!!! For every musician. This app is simple and easy to use. I’d suggest using headphones with multi recording. It has drumbeats to record along with, 4 track layers to record. Save and download your songs. Quick and basic to learn.

Great app,. Such a clever and convenient app for ideas, layers and harmonies. 👍

Great app for your iPhone. I've been using this app for a few months now & I love it. Good for storing all your scratch demos or song ideas or just to practice. Needs an update that allows you to edit the BPM rate of the drum loops & also needs a quick EQ, option of panning & some basic FX. I could make a big list, but let's not forget. This's on your phone & that blows my mind everytime. Well done guys. 5 stars from me :)

Mini review. The mini studio is great! Would be good to be able to adjust tempo. You guys should add an edit mode, so you can chop the ends of songs.

Not to bad. Good for basic sounds, good drums can't adjust speed though. Not to sure how to delete sonigs either. Bigus Nikus

Senectitude. Great app does what it says and claims to be. Helped me get back into music and create my own.

Mostly useless. Can’t disable mic inputs on playback. Useful as a sonic notepad, but not much else. Can’t use external mic and metronome function, as metronome plays out of ipad speaker. Using headphone jack in ipad to hear metronome disables the yeti usb mic. So pretty much impossible to do any multitrack using click to keep it better synched. As said, simple, mostly useless.

Perfect !. This app is perfect for getting those ideas down before they are forgotten

Great application. Good job.. I like this App. It is so good!!

Dissappointed. The idea behind this app is great. I can see it being a great resource for musicians; however, I was really dissapointed with the quality. It is difficult to use because the buttons and levers on the screen are hard to control. It is hard to understand what this app can and can't do and I find that it is a frustrating trial and error game. There are too few features to make this app worth while. It could use more tracks and the ability to add drum fills and breaks so that the drums aren't so monotonous. It would also be nice if you could set the drum speed because the given speeds don't always fit with the songs I want to record. Hopefully updates will come with more features and better calibration.

Great. Finally I've bought SOOO many of these apps and this is the only good one! I like the simple UI and sound quality

Beware, u cannot go direct. I feel burned. Apparently you cannot plug in anything direct using iRig or similar devices. This app expects you to go through a mixing board and mic your amp. That's fine but NOT if it's the only way to use the app. What scanners. They should clearly state in the description that you CANNOT plug a guitar or mic into your iPhone and record on this app. Please beware of this and save yourself the frustration. Download the Four Track app instead.

HORRIBLE. This app is really bad! Waste of money! Doesn't let you do anything, like record and those stuff! Waste of money!

Pretty good. It's pretty good, simple.

Update. Can u get a update so u can make Ur own beats without all this stuff it's just in the game and I don't want to buy all this stuff

Recorder. Beats my 500$ recorder by far

Recording. I dislike the one shot recording. Please fix that next update thank you very much

Giving this app a 3. Please update with some effects for the vocals, adding atleast up to 2 fx for each vocal, and is there a way for it to be like audacity but mobile

Huge Improvement, especially for PC users. I had an earlier version which was great for rough recordings of song ideas but awkward to use and almost impossible to export for dinosaurs like me who use Windows. This version has a MUCH improved interface and now supports WAV format. A perfect app for recording demos and song ideas, and if you happen to get a great take on one track it could even be the studio version! One very minor criticism, a pan feature for each channel would be nice to have.

Déception. What is disappointing is that a track can only be recorded one shot if you miss you have to redo the whole track you cant just fill in

Wow!!!. The best and works !! I can pick alot of beats and haromize my songs! I am gonna sing this 4 my next album! Well u just talked to MissyiTunesfreak! ( awesome singer

Super Awesome!. Great for recording song ideas or a rehearsal. Tuner sometimes does work though.

Great But..... Would like to be able to control songs duration periods separately not just all at one time makes it VERY difficult to time and it's only a slight adjustment that needs to made to make this the best music app out there.

Recording drums sounds like poop.. Imported a song to one track and tried to record myself drumming along with it. When I record drums with my iPad camera and onboard mic, they sound pretty decent. When this app uses the same onboard mic, it sounds AWFUL. I only gave this app one star because the review system doesn't allow zero stars.

Works great. The drum beats are okay, nothing special. But no self respecting artist would use a drum loop that comes with the program anyways. Suggestions for updates -import your own audiofiles (ie better drum loops) -change track volume along timeline (so that fluctuations in volume can be adjusted post-recording) -trim tracks (i always have a few seconds of drum beat alone at the end of the song) -loop option for recordings -change tempo of preset drums (each loop is stuck on whatever bpm it is set at) I havent seen most of these features on any recording studio app, and although this one is already my favorite, these additions would put it head and shoulders above the rest

Not bad. This is a pretty good app, but it could use work with exporting the songs, like being able to send them through email or copy to your computer when your synched to it

Wow. Moi et mon grouoe pink velvet on adore ca cest super coll

Good stuff. I bought a bunch of different apps looking for the one to quickly capture inspirations. This one is much better because of the beats included: no other "4 track" recorder has those. UI needs a lot of help but that will come in time. I wish I could plug the output of 'Amps & Cabs' into this little app. Good job guys!

Ok I Guess. I didn't expect cakewalk for $5, but I definitely expected more than some of the freeware pc programs I've downloaded before. In short, it's a few important features from being awesome...right now it's borderline OK. Things like no basic reverb, track timing or cut-in capabilities makes it useless to a lot of people trying to do basic recording. If you're going for VERY BASIC recording....and expecting the bare minimum, you'll love it. Anymore than that and you'll be disappointed.

Using to record my childrens voices!. excellent app! I purchased this so I could record my childrens voices at play and just talking to me. This will allow me capture their childhood and play whenever, wherever I am! Thanks to the developer! Now let's tether this excellent audio app to a video camera app! Excellent! Michael

jflowers. This app is impressive. There's a wide range of professional drum grooves with very advanced recording capabilities. Sound quality is far beyond that of similar apps. I would recommend this to anyone interested in seriously recording music or just wanting to have fun with an exceptional mini studio.

Perfect recording app. i love this app!! I record on my iPod Touch all the time with it. Great recording sound quality and is really easy to use. It's been the most stable from all my recording apps. Never had a crash and it feels super solid. I would definitely recommend studiomini to any musician.

Love it. I would like to have more tracks. I would also like to be able to remove the drum track and record whatever I want in it's place. Something to remmber for the next upgrade. This app has brought music back into my life: I send my recordings across the country for all my music friends to hear and wright to. Thanks a million for this app! Ike

Octopod review. I really like the idea and the drum beats are awesome but it would be cool if you could change the tempo on the drum beats as well as edit the drum beats. For example if you want to transition from one beat to another you will have the option if doing that with different tracks appearing on a certain page of octopod as well as levels and mixing. I would pay more money if it had all my criterias!! Thanks. Hope you can do something about it!! Happy holidays!! Ray Jordan

Dissapointing - hidden letdown. This product seemed great until I finished all the tracks on my song and realized there was no feasible way of getting the song off my phone and into some useful format. Even if the file could download to my machine, you need some special program to run it, which they certainly don't make you aware of before purchasing, and even then, the tracks load individually, and not as a complete song, which is fairly useless, because it means you need another program just like this one on your compter to sync them again. Very dissapointed and frustrated.

It's almost good. It's fine to mess around with I guess, I enjoy the simplicity of it, but it doesn't even have any monitering. How can you record over something you can't hear? Is there some way around this? Also you're not able to choose the bpm for the drum beats and it's incredibly limiting. Finding a beat that you like, then not being able to set the speed to what you're playing? THEN not being able to hear the drum beat while you're recording anyway? Lame. I'm not looking for some great studio, I'm just looking for something to record ideas, and I have a hard time even doing that with StudioMini.

Awsome!! Best out there.. Best 4 track recorder out there for iDevices. The sound quality you can get with this is amazing! If I could add a feature...it would be the ability to bounce tracks. If I could bounce the four tracks down to 2 and keep recording...this would be 5 .

Hats off!. This is a wonderful app! I use it to create songs; it's very easy to use and you can record three separate tracks in addition to having at your disposal a nice array of drum samples and tempo. Definitely worth the price!

This App saved my marriage!. Not really, but, it has certainly made recording more fun. It has been an easy and effective tool for me, and is always at the ready. I also feel it necessary to add that the Demo song for this app blew my mind. Cheers to the guys who put this whole thing together!

Almost better than vocalive. Love this app, I like making my own music beats and all and this is what I need... Few suggestion for future updates: 1) some effects (pitch, reverb, morph, chorus) 2) a mini beatmaker in the app so we can make awesome beats.. 3) better timeline so we can rerecord where we went wrong in realtime. Those would make this app even BETTER THAN Vocalive, I know it's a little to much to ask for( ok maybe alot) but just making some suggestions to make it better :)

love it. best app on my phone.. has helped me finish and start new ideas.. it's almost better than sex.. my band and I love it.. I tell everyone of it.. I love listening to my tracks off my iTunes.. I could listen to my songs whenever I want and not only in my head, so it's easier to crank out the voices..

GREAT! Buuuuut.... For the price theres a lot of great features. I love how it records and that you can import tracks. It would be nice to have maybe 2 more tracks and to be able to start recording at certain points instead of at the beginning. I also save tracks to my library and would like to be able to import them from other places not just iTunes. Great app for $5 though to make some quick music.

Used to love it till iOS 9. I used to love this app, I bought it for my iPhone 4S and again when I changed my iTunes account for my iPhone 6S and also purchased for my iPad Air2. The issue came with iOS 9, now when I "mix" my song and transfer it. It comes out at 2x the speed..... so it sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks!! This is infuriating, I used to use this as a poor man's studio. No solution has been offered at all. Happens with both Mac and Windows 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡.

Best $6 I have spent in a long time.... I have been looking for something that is easy to use that would allow me to get ideas down quickly. I have traditionally used an old tascam 4 track and by the time you set up, get levels, etc... you are about a 1/2 hour in without recording a single note. Upon downloading the StudioMini app I had a full idea on tape within 45 minutes. I still can not believe how good the mics for the ipad work, I was really impressed with the sound of my 12 string when recorded. The only 2 additions I would ask for is the ability to change the tempo of the drum grooves that come with the app and a little reverb for vocals. None the less this app gets the job done and is worth every penny!

Great for songwriters. As a songwriter myself, I have found this very useful when writing multiple parts for a song. There are drum tracks included as well as a metronome. This helps with sketching the song out and getting an idea of what it may sound like in a professional studio. Worth the five bucks, this app rocks!

does not recognize MacAlly iVoice Pro. On my iPod Touch, which doesn't have a built in mic, this program won't recognize the MacAlly iVoice mic. Voice Memo (App) recognizes the mic, but when I switch to StudioMini, the light on the mic goes out and nothing gets recorded. I really need an upgrade mic from the one that is built into the iPhone and I would like to have a little better recording set up for music than VoiceMemo. I couldn't really evaluate the program, because of this problem. But this problem is significant enough to only allow one star. Fantastocrats should put a disclaimer in the "system requirement" section to specifically say it only works with a certain mic and others, at least, may not work. It seems if VoiceMemo can find the mic, this App should be able to also.

Amazing app. It is like a pocket sized mixing board with 5 channels! I am a professional sound manager, and I have been looking for this type of thing for many years! One bug it it won't upload to my computer, but I found a simple dolor ion called run a cable from the headphone jack of the iPod to the computers mic input! Best app ever!

Only single mono inputs. The developers don't mention it in the App Store, but you can only input audio into this app through the built-in microphone or the mono microphone input, neither of which are great options. A fully featured recording app should have the ability to use existing USB adapters to bring audio in at least two channels at a time. If their app has this limitation, they should mention it upfront, not in the manual after you've already bought it.

Nice app. This app is well made and well thought out. I've used other "mini 4 Track" recording apps and this is the best. Each of the 4 tracks can be stereo, you can import directly from your iTunes library and there are some nice beat loops for getting your ideas together. Please add more beat loops and a high quality reverb and delay effects. Panning on each channel would also be a welcomed addition. Worth the money.

Jazz guitar player. This really is a great app and I use it pretty much every day. I'm a jazz guitar student and I use a few different ways. I use it for practicing where I record myself playing some changes and then work on my lines etc. over that. I also record lectures in class with it and also I record our jazz combo rehearsals. Great app, thanks for the updates!

keep coming back to StudioMini. I've bought and used at one point or another every multitrack app on the app store. I keep coming back to this app because it seems to be the most straightforward. When I want to get my song idea down I want to be up and recording asap, I don't want to have to go through menus etc. My favorite app on my iPhone

This is really a great app but....... ......on the new update I was hoping for maybe something where you could put in your own drum beat and possibly more than just three recording lines (not including drums). Something you might consider on the next update. Other than that this is a great app.

StudioMini: excellent. This iPhone app has become an indispensable sketchpad for recording and mixing my music ideas. Simple and effective. replaces a host of equipment costing 50 times the price. My update wish list includes more beats, Adjustable tempos, and left\right panning. I would also like to find a good direct mic/line-in hardware solution.

I like it but. The UI is not very touch sensitive. I had difficultly making things work on screen. It would be nice to be able to add reverb to a track and also when I'm recording a new track with another track the recording with are so faint which makes gettting a good performance difficult. Also, there is no panning on the tracks. Please update that and it would be great.

Very Okay. This app shouldn't be that much money. It should be a dollar or two. All it does is records you more times than your Iphone Voice Memos. So you could make a little song with more than one instrument. I'm still feeling there should be a little more to the app. Like being able to use one of your iTunes songs as a loop, to do a cover of a song better? Or better loops than those. Or being Able to edit your tracks. 3 stars

Not as good as it COULD be.... It's a great App for simply recording 4 different audio tracks...beyond that, I was a little disappointed. For the price, I found it odd, that it lacked simple basic functions of a mixer. For example, the ability to pan or the fact that it's missing a MAIN volume control... It may be a bit greedy to ask for an audio editing screen, but I don't think it's unfair to ask for a bouncing function. Overall, it's good for laying down ideas while on the go, not much past that...

Good, but has some bugs.. This pocket studio inspired me to start making music again, but I've run into an annoying bug when I want to record more than one track. I'll flip the track on and press record and it will start playing the track but won't record; and the stop option will be blacked out. I have to keep exiting reloading the drum option and try over again until I see the stop button is on. But, with persistance i have made some nice recordings.

Loving this app!. I get ideas for songs all the time. This app makes it simple for me to record those ideas fast and easy. Quality sound, easy to follow manual instructions and fun. Also, Customer service is prompt and thorough. Gifted 3 friends with it and they love it too. All progessional musicians. Sweet app!

Used to Love it. This used to be my go to DAW. Alas, other apps have progressed and StudioMini has largely stood still. I use AudioCopy and audiobus, this app does not support either of them. The app hasn't been updated in half a year. I contacted the developer who says that they plan to support both AudioCopy and audiobus in the future. I will revise my review at that time.

Great Roadie Recording App. Travel worldwide and was about to spend 20x more for a piece of hardware sans benefits of the drum tracks Octopod has. Love this app and as a musician for 42 years would recommend to anyone as a super road companion to catch a tune or special lick that it does not drift off into the universe of lost licks and lost hits.

Songwriter's dream. This ap just saved me couple hundred dollars. As a songwriter, I need something to capture random ideas, guitar riffs, etc. I'm not always in a place where I can fire up my MacBook and get to my recording equipment, but that just changed. This little app prevented me from buying a fairly expensive portable b/c it's with me all the time. I'm using it to store project ideas- usig each track for a different version of a new song idea. It's perfect for that. Also exports to GarageBand for effects. For the price - amazing!

All-around amazing. How did they do it in the old day, really? Just the convenience of having this thing in my pocket at all times blows me away. I LOVE the fact that this thing looks like real hardware. I have lots of recording experience so for me it was real easy to figure out i didn't have to read the manual. Great support too. I sent them an email with some feature requests and I got a really nice email back the next day. 5 stars from me keep it up!

Just an amazing app. I hardly ever review apps but this one deserves so much praise. Its the most innovative app I've ever used, and the quality is amazing. My only request is if we could be able to change the tempo for the preset loops. There are certain loops i love, but are too slow/fast. I'd really apreciate the option of changing the tempo. Thanks for the great app!

Awesome App!!. I have been waiting for an app like this to come out for a while! This is the essential recording application for the on-the-go musician; from amateurs to seasoned professionals. I am very impressed with the zero latency and wide selection of beats- all of my recording needs are met. As a professional musician in Los Angeles, I have found it extremely helpful to have such an easy to use, intuitive recording studio right on my phone. Highly recommended. Thanks Fantastocrats! Can't wait for the next great app from you guys!

Long-term data is in: Amazing. I've been using this app for several months now, and it has become my primary method of multitracking. The poor ratings dragging the aggregate score down are anomalies. This app works perfectly. The complaints from others are price, improper function and no effects. A digital four-track for the price of lunch seems good to me. And it is a recorder only; my effects are on the computer software of my choice. Lastly, nothing but great-quality audio and 100% reliable functionality with zero glitches or weirdness. Highest marks!

Great with one problem.. This app works really well and does good with recording. The big issue is that it does not allow recording while playing a track previously recorded. That would make it easier to record a solo for a song without having someone else to play the part of the song that needs to be heard. Thanks for listening and I hope to see a fix for this. Thank you.

User friendly, great for musicians!. I really like this recording app and it's user-friendly interface. Very easy to operate from the get-go and the ability to multi-track means you get more ideas out of your head and into a recording! I am just crossing my fingers that the creators of this fine app eventually make it possible to UPLOAD a previously written track (from a computer file, could be a "blank" or "upload" option within the drum wheel?). That would make this the perfect app for mobile and impromptu recording! Thanks!

Beyond love it!!!!!!. As a songwriter,I've never found a more perfect and powerful tool for the industry I'm in. Worth 10 times (at least) what I paid. I would love to write another review telling you I wrote a #1 song on this "pitch perfect product". Thanks!!!!!

Fun and useful. So far I have only played with this a little doing voice only. It's so much fun!! It would be cool if you could put previous songs in as loop track for the next one. But for the price this amazing

Best Comp from any app. I have used many apps for recording musical ideas as I have written them. When your in a jam session this is perfect! The built in compressors balance everything recorded with no distortion. Wish I could find a software to use this app with my pc but guess I can use Sony acid or cake walk. Thank you for this app love it!

LOVE IT.. I'm a 12 year old musician and I fell in love with this app. I use it to record my originals, covers, guitar and vocals, piano and vocals, and everything in between. Easy to use (after you explore the app a bit) and great sound quality. I love it! :) (If a 12 year old can do this, you probably can, too.)

Hmmmm... haven. I just bought this app for my i-pod touch yesterday. i love to sing and plan on recording in an ACTUAL studio some day... so I desperately need help. how do i record my voice on an i-pod touch or will i have to use it on my i-phone. if you respond to this it will be greatly appreciated. plz help. thanx.

Easy, Functional, Quick. The title says it all. The quality of the recorded track is as good as the input you choose (but built-in mic on iPhone still produces good quality capture). Do I wish there was a way to input 3rd party Loops--YEP! But for the price, functionality & quick use capability, this app packs a lot of value.

Unbelievable. I'm new to the iphone world, so I don't have a lot of experience with apps. But, that said.... THIS is the coolest songwriter's tool I have ever experienced in my life. I use it constantly now to sketch ideas...anywhere. I have even sketched ideas in the check out line at Costco. People thought I was on the phone. No! I was working on a song idea that popped into my head. And because it's so handy, ideas don't slip away the we know they often do. Every songwriter or musician on the planet should get this app. NOTE: It's not a recording studio (please). It's just the coolest tool a musician ever had. If I could never could get another app, I'd still think the iphone was worth it because of this one. And only 3 bucks. It's crazy. Get it and have fun being creative.

For what's out there this is it right now 2010. Right now I'm recording and was bugged by the program itself to leave a review ok here it is. While you are reading about software... I am making music. Get it download it and bring us your great music if it's in you bring it out.

Suits me …. With a couple of modest suggestions. As other users have said, would be great to be able to automate some mutes for mixing. And also would be nice to be have punch in abilities on tracks ( you must now record each track from beginning to end ,wiping what was already there). Also a master fader would be nice. Those issues aside, this is an amazingly good sounding & easy to negotiate app. Perfect to quick demo an idea and use as needed! Keep the updates coming guys. And good work.

It's missing a few things.... Sure, there are apps out there that can give me reverb or pitch correction or compression, what have you. But why can't they all be right here? Four tracks, each with space for a few light plugins. Make this really worth using. Gorillaz had to use like 20 apps to record, it can't be that hard to combine a few to get a functional daw on my phone. Otherwise, yeah, you can record 4 separate tracks start to finish. Woo.

Needs. To have monitoring while recording. I can't even hear my guitar while recording with my guitarbud cable. It's like being blind. Also need to be able to hear yourself playing over already recorded tracks to practice before you record another track. This is a basic feature in every other fourtrack I own. Please update this. I really can't use this app until there is monitoring. Wish I could get my money back and wait for an update or a better app.
