RecTools Unlimited arrives

In what I'd describe as a rather strange move Yudo have brought out a new version of their RecTools apps called RecTools Unlimited. The 'unlimited' part being the fact that it will record up to 500 tracks. Apparently it will play 100 tracks on the 3GS and more on the iPhone 4 (specs below).

What's really odd though is that Yudo have decided to do this rather than release more of a 'studio' based app, which is what they said they would do quite a long time ago. Originally Yudo had claimed that they were going to add synths, FX, drum machines and more to RecTools08, but this didn't happen, or at least it hasn't happened so far anyway.

So, if you're looking for a huge number of tracks on your iPhone, this is the app for you.

Details:

A multitrack recorder with support for an unlimited number of tracks is now here! Finally exceeding the functionality of portable MTRs. Each track has it's own 3 band Equalizer and the possibility to record and edit up to 3 hours of uncompressed high quality audio in mono or stereo.

The most powerful version of rectools, Rectools Unlimited is now available! Plays around 100 channels at the same time with the iPhone 3GS and even more with the iPhone 4 and devices with higher performance. Rectools Unlimited supports 500+ tracks so feel free to push your iPhone or iPod touch to the limit!
