You need to be connected to the internet for Spire Pro to render these processes, which means disconnecting from the Spire unit until you hit Apply, then you can reconnect. Carried over from the original version is the visual mixing concept where you drag the sound sources around a soundstage to change their levels and pan positions, and the effects section has been expanded.Īnother change is the addition of the optional Spire Pro subscription‑based app (free for the first six months), which adds some of iZotope’s restoration technologies including noise removal, a de‑popper, auto pitch‑correction and Personalised Soundcheck automatic voice optimisation, as well as a choice of 50 royalty‑free beats. You can also record using the mic in your phone. Free cloud sharing from the app allows you to import beats and download complete mixes or individual tracks along with lyrics and notes. The Soundcheck automatic setup function is now available in the standalone app rather than just the hardware, setting your record levels and also identifying the type of voice or instrument and shaping the tone accordingly using technology from Neutron and Nectar. iZotope’s AI and FX technology is built in to help produce polished mixes. Recording and playback (48kHz/24‑bit) is possible without resorting to external software, though the app is needed for mixing. A 5V DC PSU drives the Spire and recharges the battery. Bluetooth is used to speed up the Wi‑Fi setup configuration and the battery has also been upgraded. V2 has an improved LED display plus preamp upgrades and up to eight hours recording time. There’s also a headphone socket and 48V phantom power.
Spire Studio is a portable eight‑track digital recording system, complete with effects, and you can record via its built‑in omni microphone or via a pair of combi jack/XLR connectors.
In the June 2018 issue of SOS we took our first look at iZotope’s Spire Studio, a gadget used in conjunction with an iOS/Android tablet or phone to drag the Portastudio concept into the 21st Century. IZotope’s clever Spire Studio is back and better than ever!
