GigDaddy Multitrack Mixer App Reviews

Since upgrading to this version the recording volume is VERY low and the sliders for volume are stuck at the lowest, when you drag them across they slingshot back. Mic isnt the problem as it records loudly in the voice memo app. Also when you select a beat to play with it still says no beat selected

I have been using a previous app of these guys. This new app almost solved all the things I was expecting. You can loop your tracks. Though u can save up to 4 tracks at a time mixdown property literally lets u combine as many tracks as u want. A new option I appreciate is uploading tracks, even mp3 files. Now my gf can even do karaoke.:) I should also mention that desktop sharing option is amazingly improved. However, U can compile ur tracks without the need for a Pc software which was cumbersome. Finally a new property is that u can email what u have done!! There is one thing I would love to have in this app -which is very spoiled of me- . If some basic effects could be added to tracks, such as reverb, bass boost etc, it would just be the end of my acid pro software.

What A Great App!! The design is flawless!! Packed full of features and extras that any musician will love!! None of the other recording apps come close! The programmer really went the extra mile with this one...Just being able to mix down to email is a key seller! Thanks again!

Very easy to use, and its perfectly in-sync with the metronome. I love the stereo mixing as well.

Developer please add more than 4 tracks maybe 8 and one shared global send effect reverb-delay with some settings also maybe eq or filter on the tracks The overdub works and you can import a mp3 so its great and you can mixdown etc This is worth it I even bought the other one by mistake. The loop feature is perfect. Also nice touch how you hold it like a phone to record and monitor.

Downloaded app and its icon says Studio GigDaddy! App locks up ... went to the site for support and didnt find a GigBaby Studio ... found a Studio GigDaddy in beta was there ... GigBaby was there. I didnt see the product that I had downloaded. Amazingly, I risked downloading GigBaby for a $.99 and it seems to work fine. Dont waste your money on this one (whatever its name is) though.

Very intuitive and easy to record (even a drummer can do it). This App is amazing. You can bounce your 4 tracks down to 1 and email it to friends or you can even bounce them down to 1 track and add three more tracks and keep doing this over and over again for a serious multi-track recording. Everything I asked Santa to bring to Gigbaby can now be found here. Excellent work!!!!! Thanks Santa, and IoMetics!

This app works great and exceded my expectations. I had a few questions and the support was very quick and answered all my questions.

Compared to the other recording apps on the app store this is a great deal. Its an amazingly good app for an iPhone, even most desktop apps cant do everything gigdaddy can.

A perfect app for a songwriter who wants to throw something togather for fun. Bing, bang, boom, done. Ya dont even have to use a track for the drums, ya just pick some out. No major flaws. Simple, easy, get it.

How do you turn that annoying metronome off?

This app has a lot of potential and the features mean to get it right. But its woefully inadequate. - Crashes a lot, corrupts your files - Mic input always clips and overloads. There seems to be no way to get any headroom with this app, just distortion and clipping. Worse, the input monitor tells you its ok. - Support is non existant. Yes, theres an email, but they never get back to you. This thing has so many things going for it - headphone monitoring, count in, rhythm tracks, etc. But on these critical issues, this thing falls completely apart.

I love it..it has worked very well for me, and is a bargain! Sure Id like to see input trimming, but generally it has performed extremely well! I mean come on- this makes my historic collection of 4 track machines (One old cassette, one old digital (3 years!?!)) destined for the museum! (Plus when you stop, no waiting for a rewind!) The sound quality even with the standard Apple earbud/mic combo wildly exceeded my expectations! Play acoustic & sing at a reasonably soft volume though... Hope for Bluetooth or WiFi Peer to Peer synced functionality!

I upgraded from gig baby! and am glad that I did. I needed the ability to loop sounds butdidnt want to pay the price of four track.

This is a great recording app. I have purchased all the multitrack recording apps in the iTunes store and I find myself always using this one the most. I bought an Alesis Protrack and this is the only multitrack recorder that seems to be compatible with the Alesis. All the other apps cant monitor the sound on the protrack I dont know how gigdaddy did it but it works great. keep in mind when you are you recording on the other tracks turn up the volume on your touch/iPhone and so you can monitor the sound on your other recorded tracks. Play back works great. In other apps you cant play back and hear your recording when your headphone are plugged into the alesis making you have to undock your device and then listen through the touch/iPhone headphone port. Gigdaddy does not have that issue. Dont waste your 15 or 10 dollars get this app for 3 bucks its better. Its cool you can e-mail your projects too. My only issue is I wish you could slide the recorded track around and change the position of your recording instead you have to manually set where you want to position your track by entering the the numbered section on the other tracks beat count. Sorry if I didnt explain that too well but you will understand if you try this app out. There is a little transpose slider if you could slide that to where you want in the song and then start your next track where you slided to that position that would be awesome. Adding some reverb and some editing features would be a nice addition. Hopefully they update soon with some added features. Adding 4 more tracks would be nice too rather than having to bounce tracks. Although there may be some flaws it still the best of the bunch hence the 5 stars.

I find it tough to be too critical on this app. It works very well and can produce amazingly good quality recordings which can easily be transfered, shared, edited ( to some degree), etc. It is certainly well worth the price tag. I have also used gigbaby extensively, this gives a lot more features and functionality, but is a little less elegant to use than the baby version (with exception of file transfer to pc which is a breeze with gigdaddy and can be a real pain on gigbaby). Some minor gripes are... Cannot get Bluetooth headphones to work (even though no issue on baby). Metronome is a but cumbersome and tough to set up quickly. GUI is good. But a little too much squeezed into such small screen. I have used in live sessions and its easy to mis-hit record or play or mute and destroy or miss a track. Support is great, coming from owner of iometics himself. Overall this is an amazing app that can produce quite unbelievable results even with built in iPhone mic. There is some room for further improvement which will make this a truly killer app.

I work in a fully equiped "state of the art" studio. I really dont need this app but I was intrigued by its portability and the fact that I could carry it around as part of my iTouch arsenal. This app works as described. With the right input the sound quality is exceptional expecially at full 44.1 wav stereo. You can bounce tracks and each track is recorded in stereo or mono, your choice. You also have gain AND PAN controls with this version. I have also used this on my older iTouch 1st generation (latest operating system) with absolutely no problems. I use the Macally iVoice Pro on the iTouch 1st Gen. It plugs into the multi-port on the bottom of the unit and works great. Ive tried some of the other multi-track apps and was not impressed. This is the real thing in portable units and for $3 its a steal. Would like to see more drum track choices added and also some effiently written reverb code as well as other effects. Then this would be a 5 star app.

This app is ok. I wish it had a share button on the mixdown page. I also miss the delete buttons like in the gigbaby app. Truthfully I like fourtrack better.

love it but would like to swap tracks with a remote buddy using the same app and load each others tracks. possible?

While this app has potential, it has several fatal flaws that make it nearly unusable, and allow you to run the risk of ruining (or losing) your recording. To begin with, the record/stop interface is broken - it easily allows you to record over the same track with NO WARNING. I lost an entire recording session because the wrong button was accidentally hit. I wrote to the author, but there was no replay. Secondly, there is no way to permanently disable the metronome, and if you accidentally leave it on, it embeds it into your tracks, again, ruining your recording. Finally, there is no manual to explain how the non-intuitive interface works. The basic recording functions, when they work, are ok, but there are too many risky features to warrant continued use. I will look elsewhere for another recording app that doesnt allow me to accidentally ruin or lose my recordings. This app is not ready for professional sale yet. I hope that the author (or Apple) takes it off the market until it is ready.
