FiRe 2 - Field Recorder: Full Description

FIRe 2 has been out for a few days now but I haven't posted the full details as yet, so so let's put that right. Here they are:

Our industry leading professional field recorder for iOS just got completely redesigned and rebuilt from the ground up. Although widely recognized by audio professionals as "best in class" we decided to skip the tweaks and create a next generation product incorporating many of the features our users have requested since FiRe's initial release.

FiRe 2 will again revolutionize what you expect from a portable recording application. FiRe was the first iPhone recorder to display an accurate audio waveform in real time, the first to support markers, Broadcast WAVE metadata, and the instant downloading of files in multiple file formats. FiRe was the first application on any platform to offer native SoundCloud integration. Now FiRe 2 incorporates into its original elegant design a stunning list of powerful new features including:

• Advanced editing suite with SmartEdits, Bezier fades, change gain, normalize, looping playback, regions and more
• Improved Transport screen with faster and smoother drawing and larger waveform view
• EQ and Dynamics effects by Audiofile Engineering
• iTunes file transfer
• Enhanced input processing powered by iZotope™
• Record in background
• DropBox integration
• Regions

FiRe 2 was created for audio professionals by audio professionals. It's powerful enough for the most experienced musicians and recording engineers, and its efficient workflow and intuitive interface makes it a breeze for business and casual use.

FiRe is built exclusively for iPhone and iPod touch and is brought to you by the minds at Audiofile Engineering. Combining powerful, elegant and uncluttered audio utilities with unparalleled technical support, Audiofile Engineering is one of the most innovative and experienced audio software developers for OS X and the iOS.
