RØDE Microphones has announced the next iteration of its field recording app for Apple's iOS devices, RØDE Rec. This update, released to the app store as a free upgrade, has a number of enhancements including a dedicated iPad interface, MP3 publishing and support for ten different languages.

RØDE Rec has been incredibly well received since its launch in January of this year, where it was the only app on the market to allow for recording at 24-bit/96kHz (using RØDE's iXY stereo microphone). This is the first update since RØDE acquired the FiRe app from creator Audiofile Engineering, and signals RØDE's intention to provide not only the best field recording app for mobile devices, but a platform that rivals dedicated audio field recorders.

The update's addition of a retina-compatible iPad interface enhances control on the larger device considerably. Users can now view the waveform, transport controls, non-linear editing and much more, all in the one screen making recording, editing and publishing a breeze.

The popular MP3 format has also been added, following overwhelming demand from existing users. "While RØDE Rec is designed for the capture and sharing of broadcast-grade audio there's no denying the popularity and indeed the convenience of the MP3 format." explains Damien Wilson, RØDE's Global Marketing & Sales Director. "RØDE Rec is one of very few apps on iOS that supports MP3, and combined with one-touch sharing via dropbox and email it's a great option when you want to share an audio grab quickly with friends, colleagues or clients."

This updated version also marks the app's debut in localised languages, with support for Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese (simplified), Japanese and Korean, in addition to English. The localised apps are available on the relevant international iTunes App stores.

An update to RØDE Rec LE, the free, feature-limited version of RØDE Rec will be released shortly, including the dedicated iPad interface and enhanced stability.

Pricing and Availability:
RØDE Rec costs $5.99
