Effects

Seven effects.
Every track.

Gate, EQ, compressor, echo, tempo-synced delay, reverb, and stereo width, each with a full set of controls. Tracks record dry, so you can change the effects whenever you like, even after the take. Try switching them.

Smart Mix

A rough mix,
fixed in one tap.

Smart Mix listens to every track, figures out what it is, and balances level, pan, EQ, and compression. Pick a style, compare, or revert. It never touches the echo and delay you set yourself.

Pull any song
apart.

Tune Vocal

Only the notes that need it.

Tune Vocal finds the notes that drifted and nudges each one back into place. Notes that were already in tune stay put, and so does your vibrato. Changed your mind? Undo Last Take.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is Strata really free?

Yes. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads, and no account to create.

Where are my recordings stored?

In your iCloud Drive, in a Strata folder you can open in the Files app. Projects sync to your other devices and come back automatically on a new phone.

Can I use a USB microphone or audio interface?

Yes. Plug it in and Strata switches to it automatically. Recording follows your interface's sample rate, and input gain is set on the hardware.

Can I hear myself while I record?

Yes, through wired or USB headphones, with the track's effects. Bluetooth headphones add too much delay to monitor through, so they're used for playback only.

How do I get my song out?

Export a stereo mix as WAV (24-bit, 48 kHz) or AAC (256 kbps), or every track as its own stem, wet or dry, to finish in a desktop DAW. Everything goes out through the share sheet.

Does stem separation need the internet?

No. It runs entirely on your device, so your song never leaves it. A full-length song takes a few minutes.

What do I need to run it?

An iPhone or iPad running iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 or later.

BAR 1 · 0:00.0
