iZotope launches portable, pro-quality recording device Spire Studio

A big part of a musician’s life is travelling and touring their music. That doesn’t mean they have to stop creating music on the go. A lot of them don’t but to make their lives easier, iZotope just launched the Spire Studio, a one-touch, professional quality, portable recording studio. It works together with a free, integrated iOS app and offers a suite of tools that use iZotope’s intelligent audio processing.

It has a one touch Soundcheck button that automatically sets ideal microphone and instrument levels to get rid of distortion and clipping. It has studio-quality effects like reverbs, delays, and amp models. It has two combo jacks to let its users plug in instruments or mics with +48 V phantom power. And it can mix together up to eight tracks you record with it. It has editing tools that let you do thing like quickly mute or audition tracks and since this is done wirelessly, it’s easy to share with collaborators. The Spire Studio retails for $449 and is available at Best Buy, Long & McQuade, and Amazon.
