My go-to video app – Impact by Focusrite Review

While there's a million video apps in the App Store, almost all of them are variations on the same thing. Impact is different. While it's supposed to be paired with Focusrite hardware, it isn't necessary. Personally, I take a line out of a mixing board and, through an interface, video record the performance. Board recordings are notoriously dry but impact allows me to add room ambiance (and some compression if needed). The result is the clarity of a board recording but with the ambience of a live room without the hassle of an external mic. Also, a nice feature is that when cropping, I can do so by the audio waveform. This makes things quicker for me. No other app does these basic things. I feel like they're sitting on a goldmine of a unique video app that has the sound come first, whereas most video apps, it's just an afterthought. The downside is that Impact only records in 720. Not a deal breaker, but higher resolutions would be very welcome. I use this app weekly and so far been very stable.
