Meteor Lite Multitrack Recorder arrives

Meteor Lite Multitrack Recorder from 4Pockets has arrived. The first thing I wanted to know was how restricted this version was, but actually, when you look at what's missing it isn't much at all. Here's the limitations:

"This version of Meteor does does not include MIDI support, the WAVE Editor, or simultaneous multi-track recording which are available in the full version. You can however purchase these as In-Apps to give the same functionality of its bigger brother."

Not bad really. The lite version of Meteor costs $8.99 against the full version at $19.99, so I don't think that this is a bad deal at all.

Anyway, here's the full app description:
