Free Spire app: your gateway to pristine 8-track recording
With the free Spire app, high-quality recordings on your phone and tablet are at your fingertips. You get up to eight tracks for each project, perfect for layering instruments, vocals, and beats to your heart's desire. The Soundcheck function instantly beefs up your sound by identifying voices and instruments, and setting appropriate levels with a Vocal Assistant to adjust the EQ. When it's time to lay down your vocal tracks, the app's digital notepad makes it easy to write and check lyrics and song notes on the fly. You also get access to trim/editing functions, a visual mixer, and wide/narrow stereoizing. With seemingly limitless options, the Spire app is the ideal companion to the Spire Studio.
Spire Pro: wallet-friendly subscription unlocks a new world of functionality
If Spire Studio's solid feature set wasn't good enough, iZotope has sweetened the pot with Spire Pro. This monthly subscription unlocks even greater functionality at a price designed to fit any budget. To start, you get a handy Automatic Noise Removal function derived from iZotope's highly acclaimed RX software, which is capable of removing unwanted background sounds, vocal reverb, and instrument/vocal noise. Pesky pops stand no chance against Spire Pro's Virtual Pop Filter that is designed to combat plosives in vocal tracks. Sweetwater producers are floored by Spire Pro's pitch tuning technology, which takes the best of iZotope Nectar's pitch module and automatically tunes your vocals. For non-vocal mixes, Spire Pro's Inspire Me random effects/parameter generator is guaranteed to open your ears to new tonal possibilities by throwing static EQ, plate reverb, iZotope Trash distortion, echo, chorus, tremolo, phaser, or flanger effects on your tracks. The cherry on top is the upgraded Soundcheck function, adding personalized processing to your takes for a crisper, more consistent final product. Plus, iOS users get six months of Spire Pro for free!
