About this app

*SPIRE STUDIO HARDWARE REQUIRED*

The Spire app allows you to wirelessly control and record with Spire Studio hardware. It is your mobile command center for capturing ideas and building songs with Spire Studio.

Singers, rappers, and musicians use Spire to effortlessly record and develop song ideas anytime, anywhere. With Spire’s award-winning audio technology, you can translate ideas to recordings that your friends will be amazed didn’t come from an expensive studio. Inspiration rarely announces itself ahead of time — or when we’re in the studio to capture it.

It’s easy to record, multitrack, edit, mix, collaborate on, and share your music with iZotope Spire.

FREE TO BE CREATIVE, WHENEVER INSPIRATION STRIKES

Spire Studio is wireless, rechargeable, and easy-to-use making it every songwriter’s ultimate recording companion. Take it to the living room, band practice, a songwriting session, or on the road so you never miss the chance to capture ideas. Leave the hassle of cables and computers behind so you can focus on your craft.

SOUNDCHECK – YOUR PERSONAL RECORDING ENGINEER

Say goodbye to distorted, quiet, and muddy-sounding recordings. When a song idea strikes, there’s no need to waste time manually setting your recording levels and EQ. In seconds, Spire Studio’s Soundcheck intelligently detects your instrument, automatically sets input levels, and sculpts your tone to sound great in the mix based on the instrument.

EDIT ON THE FLY. VISUALIZE YOUR MIX.

Quickly trim tracks to tighten up your project before you start mixing. Just highlight the parts you want to delete and remove the unwanted audio with the tap of a button. Mixing on the Spire app is easy and intuitive. Drag track icons up and down for volume, and left and right to pan. The visual mixer makes building you soundscape effortless. The stereo feature puts iZotope's award-winning Ozone Imager signal processing to work. Want big, lush guitars? Keep your track on “Stereo”. Want intimate vocals? Turn “Stereo” off.

COLLABORATE WITH ARTISTS AND PRODUCERS

Text or email a Spire project to anyone from the Spire app and they can preview your song, export mixdowns, download individual tracks to edit in a DAW, or open in Spire to add tracks of their own.

IZOTOPE’S AWARD-WINNING PROCESSING MEETS WIRELESS RECORDING

Add the final touch with Enhance, a mastering feature born from iZotope’s award-winning Ozone technology. With the touch of a button, Enhance increases clarity and boosts loudness to get the most out of your song before you share it out to the world.

PUBLISH TO THE WORLD

Once you’ve finished your song and you’re ready to share it with your fans, you can publish it directly to SoundCloud or social media from the Spire app. With the power of Spire Studio and iZotope’s audio processing along your songwriting journey, you can create a song ready for release faster than ever.

Original: 12/30/19 Literally unusable. Every time I open the app, it tells me I need to disable smart switching and won't go past that page even though that setting is disabled. I've tried toggling the option on and off, and it never works. Google Pixel 3a, Android Version 10 Edit: 1/3/20 iZotope support gave me a workaround--by holding down the wifi icon on the page I was stuck on, I was able to skip that step. Everything is working perfectly now. Thank you!

During the initial setup, every time it prompts for pairing an account and I press the Google link, the app crashes and restarts to the point of resyncing my phone with my Spire. It's an endless cycle. I've restarted everything, re-downloaded the app, no bueno. My phone reported over 10 crashes from the app in a few minutes. The app is currently 100% unusable for me, please fix so I can fully use your product, thanks!

Note 2-14-19: The metronome isn't very useful because the volume is way too loud and they don't give users the ability to change the volume of the metronome, specifically. Depending on how quiet your input levels are by comparison and what your monitoring volume is set to, it can be very distracting and even harmful to your hearing. I've submitted a request to address this via email. They just reminded me that I can change the monitoring volume. What if I want to hear my input without clipping?

Hey Adam, thanks for your feedback! Since launch we have updated the android app every few weeks. Each update contains incremental improvement that is driven by user feedback. Within the next 2 months we intend for those updates to include the ability to adjust metronome volume!
