Sonoma Wire Works has launched FourTrack (App Store link), a multitrack audio recorder for the iPhone and iPod touch (2nd Generation).
FourTrack works with the iPhone built-in microphone, a headset mic or an iPod touch with a third-party mic and headphones.
WiFi sync allows FourTrack recordings to be downloaded to any desktop computer with a browser. Tracks can then be loaded into any recording software (DAW) to continue working on songs.
Note that FourTrack won’t let you record four tracks to the iPhone at the same time. That would require a four-channel audio interface for the iPhone…..which would be awesome.
The iPhone continues to get more and more sophisticated applications for music and audio work. The platform is evolving so rapidly, though, that it may be early to commit to any particular app.
Let me know what you think of the FourTrack in the comments.
FourTrack retails for $9.99.
