StudioMini is a professional quality music maker and audio recorder. Technically speaking it’s a digital audio multitrack recording studio, but that’s a mouthful!

StudioMini is designed to be very easy to use, to help you instead of getting in the way of your creative flow. It comes with drum loops, professionally produced and only available with StudioMini. It can record high resolution audio. You can collaborate with your bandmates by easily sharing your project back and forth on Dropbox, Google Drive etc. You can easily begin a project in StudioMini and export your high resolution wav files for continuing the production in Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton or any DAW of your choice. Or you can stay in StudioMini and create a high resolution mix ready to use with Apple Digital Masters and Apple Lossless for streaming.

You’re on the go, in a hotel room on tour. You’re at school on a break with your acoustic guitar in hand. You’re in the car parked outside the office. Inspiration strikes! You’re humming a melody, a couple of chords start to form, the spirit of the muses starts flowing through you. At this moment you don’t need endless possibilities from your gear, you need something simple yet powerful, something that will help you. You need “here you go, keep going”, not “look over here!! Jump through these 10 hoops first, make a bunch of technical decisions, sift through endless options”. By the time all this happens, the muses may well have clocked out for the day. StudioMini prides itself in being your musical companion, software that’s enjoyable to use, simple yet powerful. It doesn’t get in your way; with just two quick taps you’re off recording your new idea!

Select a beat from a practical and curated set of professionally produced drum loops, made for and only available with StudioMini. You can adjust the speed to taste, then focus on capturing high quality audio with your interface and pro mics. Or, simply and quickly get your idea down using your headphones and the built-in mic. Mix and pan to taste. Export and share a final mix of your song in high resolution audio, ready for mastering. Or export the individual tracks and continue the production with your producer in Pro Tools.

Lay down a couple of guitar parts, then share your Project on Google Drive, Dropbox etc. all without leaving StudioMini. Your bass player can open the StudioMini project, add bass parts, then save it back for your singer to add vocals. Punch in easily and fix sections, add new parts later, overdub to your heart’s content. Ultimately we’re making music and not having the distractions of endless desktop DAW options can help us focus on the song, our performance, and all the things that connect our ears to our hearts. Create a final mix that’s ready to upload to Spotify or Apple Music.

Pros and cons of StudioMini - Music Recorder app for iPhone and iPad

StudioMini - Music Recorder app good for

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

Some bad moments

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 cant 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 arent so monotonous. It would also be nice if you could set the drum speed because the given speeds dont always fit with the songs I want to record. Hopefully updates will come with more features and better calibration.

Can u get a update so u can make Ur own beats without all this stuff its just in the game and I dont want to buy all this stuff

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. Thats fine but NOT if its 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.

This app is really bad! Waste of money! Doesnt let you do anything, like record and those stuff! Waste of money!

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

Something horrible happened with the latest update its all completely wrong unusable. Please fix this!
