5/5Magic demo machine!
As a songwriter, I’ve always wanted a quick and easy way to demo a new song. Most of the time, I’ve just used my iPad to capture it. And if I had the time— I’d fire up Garage Band. If I really wanted to share to a wider audience, I’d work through it on my Protools setup. But now, Spire helps me make a quick and easy demo in my living room that sounds darned close to a studio version. The more I use it, the better I get and the better I sound. It does feel like a magic little box. The mic check dials in the levels, the effects sound nice and clean and above all it takes me minutes— not hours! My biggest wish would be to improve the ability to punch in to fix a guitar clam. It’s close to impossible so I usually try to get a complete and acceptable take before moving on to vocals. Punching in a vocal isn’t hard because there’s usually a dead space that I can come in on. I hope iZotope is still working on this little gem because it would be great to be able to at least add an easy dissolve to smooth a punch in. But hey, I actually couldn’t be happier with this thing.

1/5Make legal agreement simple, it’s conflicting!
I came across the App, and it looked awesome, I down loaded it, and was excited to use. But...when I clicked to use on my phone, the Legal came up. I started reading, and found it to be very legalizing, with one section talking about intellectual rights of the creative person, infringement of other established music, (heck there’s only a combination of three type cords in Rock), and other Legal wording that seemed to be for you, yet, the next word combinations down through out agreement seemed to contradict what was said above, it became very troubling to sign the Agree button! Yes I know, well if you don’t agree, don’t sign, but what I’m trying to say is, on the surface it’ looks great, and I’m totally interested, but the legal wording is confusing , and I’d like to see a very straight forward simple agreement, and not what feels like a Bad Tom Petty recording contract that has conflicting sections, that with just three word combinations, changes what you thought you were signing! I’ll have to hold up, and read over it more, look around see what info is available on the legal wording of the agreement! I hope this posts, and helps draw peoples attention, to really look harder at accepting confusing language on Tech, App, or other agreements... we want to be part of it all, but most can’t afford Attorneys to look over what where agreeing to, and I’d say majority of all do not understand the legal languages on accepting the use of products, at least I’m confused! Thank you...

5/5Really Unreal Recorder - Spire is Fire
This 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!

1/5Terrible execution
It is so surprising to me that this has been out for so long and they still haven't improved basic obvious things. Like, for example, who could think that it's a good idea to have the Spire completely disconnect every time you change apps? And then when it reconnects, it opens a new project instead of going back to the one you were on? And how you can't change effects after recording, or change the volume of certain sections? And how the "crop" function is extremely tedious and limited in its usage? I know the goal is for this program to be super simple, but there's no reason not to also include extra tools that you can use (or not use). If iPhone Garageband could easily connect to the Spire as an interface, I would always use that app instead and would never open this one again. I'm surprised that iZotope, a great company, hasn't improved this app. Also, I hate that they want you to pay for Spire premium. I already paid a ton of money for the Spire, don't ask me to then pay a monthly fee to have your frustrating app be slightly less frustrating. Ridiculous.

5/5Amazing.
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!
