i am amazed!!

one of the best apps i ever had... :D i just need to thank!! could you please add a possibility to limit the lenght to make a loop? and maybe to export the endmix as wav or mov .. thanxx

Yeah

Gig baby is a real cool tool! If there were a record input level regulation it would be even better.

No WLAN transfer with Windows

Simple, nice tool if used only on iPhone. Transfer of recorded data does not work - useless. Needs update!

Seems real good but..

The game looks very nice: you can record your own track. But the "drum" you have and all the styles are pretty much similar are boring after a short time. In the mean time I dont have the new iPod Touch so I dont have any speaker where I can talk and record. Plus, I cant get how to mix the tracks together so I can make an awesome giga dupper mix jam! Or maybe you just cant do those kind of things with that application... Too bad. It would be great!

Lose all podcast after installation

After installing the application for first time, I lost all my podcasts stored on my itouch. I then redownloaded all my podcasts and then uninstalled the application. Re-installing the application cleaned out my podcasts again. The application also was garbling when recording (via the headphones); however, when listening to the recorded track - no garbling was heard. I tried to record 3 tracks on one playlist - it was able to play all three back simultaneously. I saw that another four track recorder was having the same garbling issues and the developer stated that it was an issue with 2.2. Perhaps it is the same issue this application is facing. Nevertheless, losing the podcasts upon installation needs to be resolved. I give the application 2 stars for effort and also that the garbling issue may not be the applications fault.

Works fine

I used this with an acoustic, at first with the phone mic- if you play too close or have the track turned up it will clip, not apps fault. Then with headset mic, and ear monitor, works- better sound. Drum tracks bit cheesy but do the job, can turn down after or mute. Is good to have varible beat and signature. No pan, what are you gonna do on your phone anyway produce Robert Fripp! looks just as good as other ones, totally worth 5$ I paid 1$.

Any musicans, best app!!!

This is by far the beat app for recording demos, voice, lecture, bootlegs and such.... Its perfect for demos and a great start @ an awsome price! I would pay easly $50 for it! I drop tempo, then a beatloop, tape a ear bud to my guitar amp and use the other 4 a click. Ive recorded at festivals, clubs shows r tricky, school, and rehersel all pretty well. I sound check to just into the red and go. If u r hi into the red, the apps "burps", like protools "pops". So b sure not to blast the levals! Everyone ,joe 6 pack, is extreamly impresssed with the quality of the demos I share! I love it for what it is!!! Very well done! Next we need panning, compression, +10 tracks, and biggest flaw thats must be corrected for a perfection is mic sensativity adjustment!! I still love it and forsee musicans of all caliber loving this one!!!

great app

I play guitar and this is a perfect little app for me to hear my own playing. It took a little getting used too but once i did i always use this little app. You can basiclly mash together four different layers of music and create your own songs or just play rythmn and then add lead or vocals or precussion. I also find that recording with the iphone ear buds(with built in mic) is way better quality then recording without them. Awesome App !

Love it

Love this program, just wish it panned and you could ping pong. But overall great and for 99 cents!

Finally, solid simple and easy to use!

I cant tell you how many of the other music /production programs I have purchased for the iphone, this one is what we look for when trying to grab an idea and jot it down easily. This is amazing, tap tempo, pick a beat and your recording. Great work and for .99 cents, just go grab it cause it not going to saty that way for long!

Whoops

I am running this app on my new iPhone 3gs, and am having synch problems. I lay down one track, record a second track, and upon playback find out that they are 3/4 of a second off (the 2nd track is that much behind). I restarted my iPhone in case you are wondering. Methinks the app needs an update. I will rewrite this review upon getting a working version.

SetList Synch Does Not Work

I dont know if anyones tried this, but the app comes up with a weird looking IP address, and I cannot browse to the page. I think this part of the app is broken. Otherwise, the app appears to work OK, but could really use a major face-lift. Very crude looking compared to what is out there!

Great straight forward 4 track

Totally worth the 99 cents I paid. Love how easy it is to use. If u are looking for a simple 4 track to record song ideas its awesome. My only complaint is one someone already mentioned. After recording the first track, the metronome/drum track goes off by a fraction of a second. Otherwise would have given it 5 stars.

Gigbababy

Constantly crashing on my I pad

Good!

Great for instant music recording without using hypercomplex hardware. Looping and merging tracks may be a great update!

A helpful tool

Great App! Love being able to record multiple tracks on the go! After a few minor problems with the sharing feature, which the author responded back quickly, I was able to upload with no problem. Very useful. Nice drum track selection. Great price. I would like to see the option to condence tracks before / after uploading, but not that big of a deal. All in all very good.

Help!?!?!?!

Ok, I know how to work a recording system, but how do I get this app to record my music?!?!?!?! I press record, then play my music with my band, then stop, and whenever I go to press play, all I hear is the tempo!!! Good price, great app, but how do I record my sond?

Great

Would give five stars if I had the option to make two tracks one. Great app other than the condensing...

GREAT $Value$

If it was $5 I would still give 4 stars. I dont understand all the complaining about what it doesnt do, etc. Do you yell at the little kids in your neighborhood with the lemonade stand cuz its not the right temperature? Rip Suzie a new one cuz you got too few ice cubes? This app is pretty darn amazing for the price. Probably the best dollar Ive spent in a LONG time. Some people are just never satisfied. Smile! Life isnt as bad as you think :-)

My review

Like anything else, this app is not for really dumb guys! But, if you have half a brain you can learn to use it and get things done. I also wish it let you mix three tracks to one so I could add more tracks, but, even if that feature never comes its still a cool tool! Ive made some recordings with it that I really like! These are recording I may not have got around to if I didnt have something so quik and easy to use. Its clearly true from the reviews though, That if youre not too swift, dont get this one. You wont be able to make it work, and youll feel you need to write about it. But, that being said, everyone else should get it! Have fun kids!!:)
