Is there any documentation for this app? I cannot seem to get any sense of how the editor works… how do I even obtain that “edit view”—

thanks

I use the Tascam iM2 with the 4S. Stereo recordings sound great. I have a little camera stand and phone holder that I have rigged as a sort of boom / mic stand. I’ve been using the setup for recording SFX for commercial spots since Jan. Very handy for recording anything on the fly. Sometimes I use it for tracking acoustic guitar or percussion and fly that back into the session. Pretty amazing quality considering.

I had an awesome FiRe2 experience yesterday. I’m working on a project set in NYC and area, and the client wants authenticity in the ambiences. I have a large collection of Manhattan amb, but needed some of Brooklyn. A quick email to a friend in Brooklyn who had FiRe2 on his iPhone…he takes a short walk around the hood, uploads to Dropbox, and over the next hour I was dragging sounds right into my session in Vancouver. Obviously not high end, but good enough as a C. Channel bed for some authenticity in the tracks….which is certainly better than nothing. A must have app for on the fly recording!

The app is indeed supporting stereo. But the iPhone itself only has a mono mic.

You can use it with any external iPhone mic (needs to be supported by the specifIc phone type) to record in stereo.

Are there any other files to listen too?Compered to the H4N and the H1 it’s still Mono. But it’s ideal for quick recordings as you mentioned. I will check out this app :) Cheers Arthur
