Hi Jeff. You can record as many ideas as you want within MasterWriter. But each recording has a 5 minute limit. I’m not sure why it does this. It seems silly to place a limit on the recording, but it does.

I talked to Matt from MasterWriter at NAMM and he said there is an update coming soon. He wouldn’t give me any more details unfortunately. Maybe that’s remedied.

But don’t let it be a deal breaker. It’s nice to have a simple little recorder in there in case the moment strikes you and you don’t have a sequencer or some other audio recorder open. But it’s meant to be a tool for words, not audio.

I stopped using the recorder totally. Now I have LogicPro open all the time and I’ll capture everything musical there. You could grab a copy of Audacity and record as much as you want. And it’s free.

I still rely on MasterWriter for all my lyrical needs. It’s simply the best app available right now.

I have a question about the hard disc recorder. In your review you stated:

“I also use the stereo hard disk recorder to capture ideas. Unfortunately, you’re limited to 5 minutes of audio at a time but you can record multiple takes.”

My question is: Can you save the audio in a separate file elsewhere on your computer so you don’t lose multiple ideas? Is that what you mean by “multiple takes”?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Jeff
