Ferrite Recording Studio Reviews

Obvious

Good cast

It's obvious this is a knockout

iOS VoiceOver accessible high quality recorder

justmikeaf

I downloaded this app after reading a fellow blind user’s review stating how accessible this app is, and I wholeheartedly agree. Fantastic app, pro-grade audio quality, and great response from the developer. I wrote with some questions, and received a response very shortly after. I’m giving 6 stars, because 5 is not enough.

Too limited

Krydan

It records but they don't even give you a minute to test the effects or other features. If a developer doesn't allow a test run, it's product isn't worth buying

Is great

It is great

Not a multitrack recorder

marczak

I'm not sure what to make of Ferrite. With no way to record while listening back to other tracks, it's utility is limited. There are a lot of nice features in the editor, but it's about getting tracks there in the first place (and in time with the existing tracks).

Did I just waste $20 on this? Afraid so.

REVIEW UPDATE: I just don't get it. The fawning raves for this app "don't compute" with my awful experience attempting to understand and use this "upside-down & inside-out" audio editing and production tool App... The hope of transitioning my daily audio production work from an aging MacBook Air to IOS touchscreen convenience was the very reason I got this dandy new iPad Pro in the first place. (Still waiting for my Pencil, by the way - very bad form, Apple). So... Decided to try Twisted Wave, based on recommendation of the Mac OSX version a friend of mine has loved for years. YES! Wish I'd spent my money on it before wasting 6 hours and $20 to unlock In-App features - resulting only in frustration and regret; and the insult of being made to feel stupid for never having taken a tedious 2 month course to learn ProTools. I only needed a straightforward single track or stereo audio editing app, with EQ and compression/limiter features. TWISTED WAVE does that brilliantly! Can I Please get a refund for the mistaken purchase of Ferrite? It is utterly USELESS to me, and the first app I can honestly confess total failure to comprehend. I HATE THIS APP!!! If you are an old Analog Audio Production engineer/editor and longtime Voice Actor/Announcer like myself, don't waste your time and money on Ferrite. Unless you enjoy feeling patronized and "put out to pasture" by "Smart Kids" who've never heard of Ampex, or touched a reel of magnetic tape with fingers and China Marker to be razor-cut on an EditAll block, and assembled seamlessly with 3M splicing tape in under a minute's time, to meet an on-air deadline in less than an hour. But even if you're not a veteran Analog Audio guy, I can't see how anyone wouldn't prefer the intuitive simplicity of Twisted Wave over this headache-inducing clutter of multitrack juggling confusion for simply editing and processing VO tracks and Production Audio clips "on the fly". Here's my original review: Finding website tutorials completely incomprehensible (not to mention annoying and tedious to sit through), seeing virtually no possible way for fingers to simply select a portion of VO track and perform those basic functions within the selection, or precisely delete that selection, then conveniently Save the finished file. All I can figure out so far are controls for front/back-end Cropping, with nothing in-between. Not finding any promised in-app guide access within the huge but mostly empty toolbar window at all, just some tiny "what the hell is That supposed to represent?" icons that launch menus labeled with terminology foreign to my understanding of popular Hollywood production sound studio lexicon. Tutorials on YouTube fail to show how fingers or stylus are actually employed to make selections and efficiently manipulate the audio within a selected segment, let alone a clear example of a human being using the sparse yet disjointed and inexplicably unlabeled miniature-scaled icon/menu-driven interface. Why can't I just select portions of the waveform and work with them, same as any regular IOS multitouch text selection? Being an old Analog audio production/voice-over guy with no patience to take a ProTools training course, I've been happily using Sound Studio in Mac OSX for years, and was hoping for something similarly quick and intuitively simple to import, edit and process a single/stereo track of spoken word audio with on the new iPad Pro; so far, deeply disappointed with a costly in-app purchase I can't make heads'r'tails of. Maybe fine for highly complex multitrack music layering and demo mixing, but utterly useless for voice over work. ProTools guys - have at it. For the rest of us, just get Twisted Wave. (* I am not in any way associated with either of these developers, nor have I been asked or paid to express my opinions of these apps)

Good recording but will not play back through Bluetooth

KayaknMomma

I had headphones paired and iTunes will play through headphones but this app won't. So I can't listen to recording without iPad speaker.

Amazing

EBMIA

I work a radio journalist and I've come to rely on Wooji Juice and their recording apps. Ferrite is simply amazing. From the smooth interface to the ease of importing and exporting audio, this app will not fail you.

In-app purchases issues

Pepino1976

The recording and basic editing part of the app works fine. But you can see on the side it says for in-app purchases that you can get: 1. FX & Automation - $19.99 2. Add more Tracks & Duration - $9.99 3. FX and Automation (upgrade) - $9.99 So, all I want to do is add FX. You would think it would be $9.99. Nope. You have to play $19.99 to get the FX (along with automation and more tracks). I don’t need more tracks or duration or even automation. I just want FX. But you need to purchase all of those before you can get FX. This is ridiculous. I wish my old FiRe app worked with my new mic or I wouldn’t bother with this. Change the in-app purchase choices and I’ll change my rating.

Question: does this support importing from podcast app?
