Link Your iPhones

Use MetaRecorder’s Master-Satellite Link feature to link one Master iPhone/iPad to up to three Satellite iPhones/iPads via Wi-Fi.

Using separate audio and video devices means twice the number of files generated during production, so it’s even more important to organize and tag those files. Apple’s Final Cut Pro X is built from the ground up to support workflows that rely on metadata. As production video and audio is imported into Final Cut Pro, the metadata tags and custom filenames from MetaRecorder allow you to effectively search for the audio files you are looking for.

The recorded audio files will retain the custom naming that you have applied within MetaRecorder, making them easy to sort through when importing to audio recording App on your Mac or PC.
