Description
Plug your headphones into your iPhone and wander in the streets to catch noises, voices, and horns. The app is continuously recording sounds around you and automatically generates loops. Those loops are processed in real time by granular effects that transform them on the fly. To get a sense of what the recording will sound like when immersed in a track, you can import and play your own premade beat. Once you’re happy with it, you can export the loop to incorporate it into a larger DAW-based project.

Ratings and Reviews
Brilliant for soundscaping!
I love this app so much I bought a second hand iPhone 6 and a lavalier mic to use as a field recorder with it. Excellent for capturing/warping live environmental ambience for loop creations and audio collage. A very cool idea, well executed, and you can use it as a filter effect in AUM as well (but only one instance as it is not AU, which has me worried for its long term future...) For sound experimentalist, this should be an instabuy. A fifth star if it ever future proofs itself with a move to AU.
It ain’t what you do...
...it’s the way that you do it. Adding IAA and AudioBus compatibility made a difference to what can be achieved with the app. All it needed was AU3… and 4 years on we’re still waiting. )-:
Wicked fun!
If you know your Cage and Riley’s this is a given, but equally if you’ve never attempted field recording in your life, this is your golden ticket to sonic adventures in that realm!
