Multitrack Recording Without the Bloat

Traditional digital audio workstations on iPad and desktop are packed with thousands of features: software synths, complex MIDI piano rolls, automation lanes, and plugin routing matrices. While powerful, they can kill creative momentum when all you want to do is layer two vocals and an acoustic guitar.

Aurec takes the opposite approach. It is an intuitive voice and audio recorder that expands into a multi-layer workspace only when you need it. You can lay down a guide track, arm a new layer, and stack harmonies in seconds.

Independent Track Controls and Input Selection

Every track in your Aurec session operates independently. You can adjust individual track volume levels, mute guide tracks during playback, and isolate specific takes with the Solo button to check for pitch or timing nuances.

When you connect compatible class-compliant audio interfaces, Aurec lets you assign specific hardware input channels to individual tracks—such as recording a vocal mic on Input 1 and a guitar pickup on Input 2 simultaneously.

Exporting Rough Mixes or Studio-Ready Stems

Once your arrangement is recorded, you can listen back to the balanced rough mix directly inside Aurec and export it as an MP3 or M4A file to send to collaborators.

When you are ready to take the project into desktop software like Logic Pro, Reaper, or Pro Tools, Aurec exports all layers as time-aligned, uncompressed WAV stems. Simply drag and drop the stems onto your computer timeline, and every track will align with sample-level accuracy.
