n-Track Studio is an audio and MIDI multitrack recorder that turns your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into a full-fledged recording studio. You can record and playback a virtually unlimited number of audio and MIDI tracks, mix them during playback and add effects.
You can also edit, cut, copy and paste, zoom and drag waveforms.
All the audio tracks are saved as standard wave files and mixed "on the fly" during playback.
Once you are satisfied with the recording you can send it by email with a touch of the finger. Or you can mixdown the recorded song in standard .wav or .m4a format which you can later open with any 3rd party audio application or use to create an audio CD. You can also export the song in multitrack .sng format and open it with the desktop (Mac and Windows) version of n-Track.
2nd and 3rd generation iPod Touch devices require an external mic.

Latest reviews of n-Track Studio Pro Multitrack Recorder app for iPhone and iPad
we have big fingers, ipads have small screen....so a zoom function is needed at FIRST level of USE : EASY CHOICE of Tracks specifications that include midi External APPS access -logos- to play now(!) useful MIDI sequencer ...needing an INTERNAL access to IAA apps, instead relying on Audiobus last SLOT limited choice of MIDI Apps. new OS 9 allows for floating insert screen.. .another need and wish ... there is few reliable daws sequencing that easy Midi + Audio : update these submissions to turn into a leader:QUICK sequencer MISSING App !!!
It would be great to be able to import more than 1 file at a time from Dropbox.
How do you email a song from an iPhone?
A very usable pocket multitrack. Enables me to tweak mixes on the go and on multiple audio systems. I only use for mixing so cant speak to latency etc for recording. I import tracks from my main DAW to mix on the fly or tweak on different systems instead of having to render a stereo file to check and fix..over and over again. Effects are great for mixing on the go. Only wish there was a normalize function, but other than thats its fantastic.
The interface could be a little more mainstream and it needs normalize
