Audio Record - Audio Recorder App Reviews
This has been one of my favorite apps for along time. I never had any REAL complaints with it. It records music and lets me edit it. I just now used it after the update it gave. I came here to complain. Then thought, let me mess with the new updated app for more then 5 minutes before i complain. I figured some stuff out, needless to say. Its always been great software to use for music editing. For me, Now its betters. So easy to trim access recordings of just air. a quick swipe and a mouse click of a red X on the top. And finally we can scroll again just by swiping the magic mouse. Good job developer! Thank YOU!
I am glad that I didn’t spend a lot of money on this App. There is no support for this. I have sent 10 emails and nobody reply. The only reason why I purchased this App was to record system audio. I downloaded the drivers (Greatdy Computer Audio Device) and still not working. So, I just threw away $5.00 + Taxes in the toilette.
This program isn’t perfect, not by a long shot. However, it helps you record from your computer and that’s awesome. You can add the metadata along with a album image. Which is all nice. It certainly helps on the rare stuff. Which is what I use this for. Getting rare and unusal music onto my iPhone. There are two things that annoy me about this app: 1.) You cannot import your own songs. If you alter or convert an existing file that you have. You need to play it then record the audio from the mac. It’s a bit combersome, but workable. It would be nice to have an import feature instead. 2.) You must edit the metadate first! If you trim the clip to where you want but forgot something in the metadata your’re screwed! You have to go back in and edit again. It doesn’t seem to save. This is something that I have adapted to, but I hate. I want to edit the metadata last. Not first. It would be nice if this was fixed. Overall, it’s a useful app for one or two things. This will not be a garage band replacement. That’s okay with me. This is all I need sometimes. I don’t want the full editing functions all the time. Buy this program for that reason. Don’t buy it for any other.
Satisfied
Haven’t used it long but so far I’m satisfied it does what it says it can do.
I’ve tried to record some of my audiobooks using this program, but all 4 attempts to record the audiobooks have failed. It takes quite a few hours to play and record an audiobook, and every time that I’ve done it, the final file has be cut off (it also doesn’t inform me that the recording has a time limit). For example, the last time I recorded a six hour audio book and the file ended at 3:12:00. The app just isn’t fully working.
I bought a lot of apps that didn’t work as a searched for an app that would record the computer audio, or the system audio. This was the 4th paid app that I purchased trying to do this and it was the only one that worked. Note that this did require me to install a plugin outside the mac app store, but it does allow me to do what I needed to do (which was record CLE lectures playing on my computer to Mp3 for car listening). I haven’t done any recording longer than about an hour so I can’t speak to the other reviewer’s complaint that it wouldn’t record an audio book of several hours long. I haven’t tried that but for short 1 hour lectures it works great.
I am giving this product five stars because it works to suit my needs. I use it to record the audio portion of online streaming content. I use the Safari browser; output is in MP3 format. The only issue I have with the app is the output location. I changed the location multiple times in preferences yet my change keeps returning to the default location. It would be nice to be able to set this preference permanently.
I used to hook my stereo system to my iMac to record my music from Spotify and Freegal then burn them on the Philips CDR 560 just to make a Cd.Well,no more of that with this little app. it those all the work without hooking up all the wiring from my stereo and the Philips,thanks.
