The power of a digital audio workstation in the palm of your hand

MultiTrack DAW

by Harmonicdog
$4.99 in the App Store

MultiTrack DAW may very well be the best iOS multitrack recorder you have never heard of. The ability to record 4 tracks simultaneously (8 track live recording coming soon) on iPads with a USB input makes this an invaluable tool for bands looking to record their rehearsals or gigs. Users also have the option to record single tracks in stereo or two tracks, simultaneously, in mono. Another nice option is the ability to upgrade to 16 and 24 tracks via in-app purchase. As it is, the 8 track version offers fluid controls, a great interface that takes advantage of the iPad real estate, and some very nice mixing options. Add the 24 track upgrade and this app is downright dangerous.
