Audiofile Engineering has released FiRE, the world’s first professional field recorder built exclusively for iPhone and iPod Touch.

Audiofile Engineering FiRE

FiRe was created for audio professionals by audio professionals. It’s powerful enough for the most experienced musicians and recording engineers, and its efficient workflow and intuitive interface makes it a breeze for business and casual use.

FiRe will revolutionize what you expect from a portable recording application. It’s the first iPhone recorder to display an accurate audio waveform in real time, and the first to support markers, Broadcast WAVE metadata, and the instant downloading of files in multiple file formats. FiRe is also the first recorder of its kind to offer native SoundCloud integration. SoundCloud makes it simple to upload recordings directly to the web and share them with the tap of a button.
