iMusicAlbum has introduced the iOS app FieldScaper, described as an ‘advanced field recorder, combined with sound warp engine’.

The developer says that the main purpose of FieldScaper is to shorten the way from recording samples to creating ‘spectacular soundscapes’.

FieldScaper consists of two main parts:

• The first part is the field recorder with special options for different ways of recording environmental sound from microphone or record other sound sources.
• The second part is the scaper sound engine. The two parts connect with each other, but can also be used separately.

Here’s a video intro:
