I’m guessing that more than 70% of the members here use the native voice memo app on their iPhone. I use it a lot when I am sitting at the piano writing, or with an acoustic guitar. I would love to be able to go back and write a new top line over what I sang. Does anyone have a work hack for that? I looked up two track recorders for the iPhone and went down a worm hole. Lol

Lol Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I'll often take a Voice Memo and shunt it into Logic, where I then use smart tempo or whatever it's called to nail it to the grid. Makes it easy to build further on the vibe of the original demo... |

Thanks Antbar. I was trying to avoid leaving the iPhone. I often find it easier to write melodies away from the computer. A 2track version of voice memo on the iPhone would be great. Even if I had to sing on top of the original vocal it would be a quick way to save new top line ideas without getting into a DAW.

My gf uses bandlab on her iPhone for recording demos. Works great.

I have used this app for demo tracking for about 8 years. I even have a couple of demo tunes that are 6 or 7 tracks deep —LOL! Works well with wired Apple Earbuds for when the creative urge strikes. LINK: apps.apple.com/us/app/multitrack-daw/id329322101 |

I'm curious about the app Chad posted the link to... |

GarageBand or Logic for iOS? I couldn’t figure out to turn off the normalization in GarageBand on iPhone/iPad. Otherwise, it’s nice to have such a full featured free audio app. I ended up using Cubasis for overdubbing audio, since the stripped down version was free with a Steinberg interface I also looked into the stripped down version of Auria, which goes on sale periodically. A compliant interface with a lightning camera connection dongle, and you have a portable recording rig. Although, I do like to use voice memos to record spontaneous ideas when plugging in cables is too cumbersome. And it’s an added bonus when the audio is somewhat usable for lofi fun. |

Yes apparently so. I’m sure it’s not as quick and easy as voice memo but maybe there’s a way to strip it down for impromptu ideas.

I just import to logic as it has smart tempo, but, i always rerecord the Vm parts in logic once I figure out the arrangement.

Yeah it’s easier than I thought in GB. You can simply copy and paste a voice memo into a new track which is just a few steps.

If you do, vm is very convenient, as anytime you have a musical idea, you can capture it easily. I use Logic and mac computers, obviously  , so I will turn on vm as I write arrangements, jam, , develop ideas, etc., you can share the vm file to your mac and load it into logic for further development: works great. |

Garageband on your phone is surprisingly great for recording demoes with midi instruments.
I use the voice memo app a ton too. But there's not an easy way to get the files out of the app that I know of though.

I don't use an Iphone, or Apple anything, really. This was me. My wife decided to get me an iPhone for a bday; now they own me. I have probably 600 song ideas on voice memo. I assume the EULA probably signed away the rights somehow.- way too long for me to read. oh well. If the ideas were great I wouldn’t need to record them to remember them, anyway 🤗… |

GarageBand or iZotope Spire, which I believe is still free. You don’t have to have the hardware to use it on the iPhone. You can import files and there may be an Android version. I don’t know, because as others here have said, Apple owns me.
