Product Description
Now everyone can record music with professional quality on Spire Studio, the most versatile mobile recording system ever made. Simplifying the recording and editing process, the wireless, portable 8-track recording audio device features a built-in, professional microphone, two inputs with Grace Design preamps, and award-winning sound processing technology delivering high-quality recordings. A simple LED touchscreen allows you to adjust volume, mute audio, and delete tracks without slowing your musical flow. Add studio quality creative effects like reverbs and delays, which you can hear back in real time. Edit, mix, and share recorded music instantly via Wi-Fi connection between Spire Studio and the Spire app, a powerful multi-track recorder, which is controlled with simple, intuitive gestures. Portable, wireless and battery operated, Spire Studio fits into a backpack or guitar case, so you have a professional studio with you at all times. Automatically set recording levels with a single button to eliminate set-up time and distorted sounds. You and your bandmates can plug in your musical instrument of choice to XLR/TS combo jacks with pristine clarity. Spire Studio can even power your own mic with 48V Phantom power with a customizable metronome, and automatically syncs tracks between hardware and software for seamless version control. Whether capturing a moment of inspiration or collaborating with bandmates around the globe on your latest tracks, iZotope's Spire delivers a new kind of recording experience. Over 6 hours of recording time with connection to your favorite cloud storage services to easily save your Spire projects. Soundcheck continues to be one of Spire Studio's most popular features, able to quickly and easily get you ready to record. It automatically sets gain levels, making sure your recordings aren't too quiet or too loud and distorting. We are excited to announce that Soundcheck now intelligently detects the instrument you’re playing and uses this information to set input levels and sculpt your tone. At iZotope, we are obsessed with great sound, and constantly improving our products to inspire and enable creativity. That’s why we created Spire, to help you effortlessly capture high-quality audio based on your instrument so you can focus on being creative. And with new additions to Soundcheck, we’re further improving our product to help you stay in the creative flow. Using technology from Neutron 3, Spire's Soundcheck can identify whether you're recording vocals, guitar, bass, piano, or drums, and automatically applies a custom EQ curve to make your instrument sound its best. Instrument detection and tone shaping is a market first for a portable recording device. Coupled with iZotope’s unparalleled audio processing in Spire, the updated Soundcheck feature makes Spire Studio the best recording solution for songwriters to capture ideas and intuitively build them into songs with the highest audio quality.

I am thrilled to have this as a songwriting tool! I have been able to capture song ideas with multiple parts that previously would have gotten away from me before I could get them down. Small, portable, quality, app control, rechargeable, priced right... what’s not to love about this thing!
-The device itself feels very sturdy and has a nice weight to it. I think it could survive dropping it once or twice but probably not anymore than that without some kind of damage.
-The built-in-mic is decent sound quality but nothing special. There is a slight hiss at higher gain levels but it nothing unbearable. You can get very clear and upfront recordings with it. The mic is pointed slightly upwards from the device so you will have to keep that in mind when recording. So if you're sitting on a couch then placing this thing right on the coffee table would be perfect recording position. If you have a professional level mic, you will probably end up using that over the built in one.
-The DAW is clean and quick on my iphone 6. 8 tracks, some amps and some reverb/delay pedals. The reverb pedals are all too wet and noticeable sounding even on the lowest settings which make them unusable for the most stuff imo. -Mixing is visual with no numbers or knob turning. Its quite intuitive but can also be a little frustrating not knowing what the numbers really are. Working with such a stripped down DAW really brings out the creativity though.
-Battery life seems great on the device. I haven't had it die during a recording yet. The phone app is quite demanding though and will drain your battery pretty quickly
I would say the Spire Studio is mostly geared towards acoustic musicians for either bedroom or touring use. If you're someone who finds recording music to be a chore or are constantly writing new songs and forgetting the olds before you had a chance to record them then this little studio is definitely for you.
