The recording app used by multi-platinum band Gorillaz on their album 'The Fall'

StudioMini XL

by Otreus Inc.
$9.99 in the App Store

StudioMini XL proudly boasts its use on the latest Album by The Gorillaz. Rightly so — its simple and user-friendly design will be familiar to musicians already familiar with desk top recorders such as those offered by Korg and Tascam. There are some looped beats of various styles of music to help you along the way. It would have been nice to see a punch in feature. As it is, you are relegated to an all or nothing mentality when it comes to deciding on keeping a track or redoing it completely. Though limited in options, StudioMini is a solid, straight forward multi-track recorder that does what it claims to do, and does it well.
