Pocket wavepad4/1/2023 I sent a similar message to the writer of SmartRecorder, so I don’t remember exactly which suggestions I made to each my lack of memory is one of the reasons I want my audio app to use the built-in Mail application doing so keeps a record in an easily-accessible location! ↑ I ended up looking at VR+ and Smart Recorder and choosing Smart Recorder until something better comes along. I was surprised that this appears to be an impossible dream. In response to An iPad app for simple podcasting: does it exist?: All I want is an iPad app that will record audio and send it as an mp3 to an address of my choosing, in the standard iOS Mail application. Everything works fine if I complete the message in Wavepad, however. ![]() The audio appears to still be attached on retrieving the draft message in the Mail app, but it gets stripped out when it is sent. In another bug, saving a draft loses the attachment. Since it is displaying the address, I can type from what’s on screen, but it should obviously be easier. ![]() It will bring up addresses as I type, as normal, however, on selecting one it won’t actually insert the address in. 3Īnd there appears to be a bug in the way it interacts with the address book when sending emails. Audio copied in one app can’t be pasted into the other, and even leaves the other’s clipboard intact. The clipboard for Wavepad appears to be completely local to Wavepad, just as GarageBand’s clipboard is completely local to GarageBand. It also doesn’t look like iOS can copy and paste audio between apps. Importing from and exporting to GarageBand on the fly would also be pretty useful, but Wavepad doesn’t support importing audio from the iPad’s Music app, and GarageBand doesn’t support exporting to it, so that’s probably not possible, unless GarageBand’s “Audio Files” storage area is public. There are certainly some features I’d like to see added background recording is one, as mentioned. But there’s also echo and reverse, too, which is what I’m showing off here.ĭante’s Dream of Sirena revechoed (268.1 KB MP3 file)įor the ability to send as mp3, and the ability to edit and splice audio, I’ve replaced SmartRecorder on my toolbar with Wavepad. Most of them are useful effects: silencing a selection, noise reduction, amplification, normalization, etc. It even lets you edit multiple recordings at one time, and copy and paste between them. The editing feature is barebones, but very useful for what I’d be using it for as a blogging app. (But see later for a bug in this functionality.) It’s made for the iPad 2, and it uses the built-in Mail app, which means I can save drafts and they’ll be in the Mail app’s drafts folder. It’s not something I’ve used yet, however.Īnother new feature, judging from the changelog, is that I can record high quality audio, and then have Wavepad automatically encode it to mp3 when I create an email. ![]() That would make it useful for recording while looking at other apps. ![]() SmartRecorder does have at least one benefit over Wavepad: Wavepad won’t record in the background, but SmartRecorder will. Judging from the changelog, mp3 support was added in version 4.56 last month, probably right after I downloaded it the first time.Ĭontrolling the format and compression rate is much easier on Wavepad than on SmartRecorder. When I email the mp3 to myself, it has the same filename I saved it as in the app. I just looked at Wavepad again last night it seems to have everything I want now, plus some: besides recording, as SmartRecorder and VR+ do, it also allows editing, and it allows recording in high quality and then saving a copy in a lower-quality mp3. NCH Software has a feedback page, and I think I made two suggestions, as I recall: allow saving in mp3, and use the internal filename as the e-mailed filename. After searching for an audio recording app that would save in MP3 format and do email, I kept a few of the apps that didn’t do what I wanted but that showed promise.
