Store description excerpt

Most recording apps feel like software. Reel feels like hardware. Reel is a multitrack tape-style field recorder in your pocket. Record your hardware jams, capture ideas in the rehearsal room, a live gig, collect sounds out in the field, digitise your vinyl or catch the moment inspiration hits. Connect your interface, hit record and capture it before it's gone. The disc spins. The transport clicks. Rewind ramps up the way tape actually does. Every interaction is physical, immediate, satisfying. Less time looking, more time listening. THE DISC. The large central reel is the heart of the app. Drag to scrub. Flick it and it spins with real momentum. Scratch it and it sounds like tape pulled across a head, wind and all. Nothing else on the App Store feels like this. RECORDING. This is what Reel is for. Record one track or all four at once. Punch in a fix, overdub on top, record in reverse or let a take wait and start at your first sound. Count in with the click or roll free with no grid. QUICK RECORD. Inspiration doesn't wait. Press the Action Button, tap the Control Center button or ask Siri and Reel opens already rolling. FOUR TRACKS. REAL WORKFLOW. Reel works like tape, not a DAW. Capture your whole setup in one take, up to four tracks at once from a multichannel interface. Then work the tape one track at a time: punch in a fix or overdub a new part without touching the rest. When all four are full, bounce down to one and keep layering. Reel is tape the way it works, not tape the way it sounds: the source lands clean and professional grade, ready for your DAW, sampler or a real tape machine. THE LOOPER. Set a length in bars and the take ends itself on the bar and loops. Hit record mid-loop and the next take waits for the top, records one pass and drops in. Build a song one layer at a time. TEMPO AND BARS. A metronome with any time signature, count-in, a visual beat and a bars timeline. The click follows the tape, even when you scrub. CUE POINTS. Drop a marker anywhere and jump back instantly. Name, reorder and preview them or play them from pads on your controller. THE MIXER. The mixer slides up over the reel. Per-track meters, level, pan, mute, solo, monitoring and input gain for record levels. Real fader feel, with haptics. Mixes save per project and print on export. PITCH AND SPEED. Speed and pitch move together, like tape. Lock the disc anywhere from quarter speed to four times or snap to real semitones. Record over a sped-up take, bring it back down and your new part plays deep and slow. It plays backwards too. MASTER RECORD. Print your performance as you play it. Arm it and it starts at the first sound: every stop, scrub and pitch move goes down live to its own recording. Resample the master straight onto a track and keep building. MIDI AND ABLETON LINK. Start, stop and record in sync with drum machines, samplers and grooveboxes. Map any MIDI controller to Reel's controls over USB or Bluetooth. With Ableton Link, Reel shares tem
