VIDEO: RECORDING YOUR BAND'S DEMO HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER...

The days of basic band demos with real instruments are back. An audio company iZotope is known for its pro-level recording gear and software might just solve this problem with a pared-down little gadget called Spire Studio. The cute, cylindrical hardware has inputs for microphones and instruments and connects to the Spire mixing and editing app on your smart phone. It even has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that the company claims will last for four hours so you can record pretty much anywhere.

The Spire Studio has a built-in mic, two pre-amped inputs and even audio effects like reverb or delays to make your recording sound more professional. You can control the whole back end with the Spire app, which connects wirelessly to the Spire hardware. Ultimately, having a quick way to record a basic song with actual instruments and vocal performances could benefit a wide range of customers.
