Apple’s Voice Memos app is getting simple multitrack recording

Apple just announced a forthcoming update at today’s iPhone event: multitrack recording inVoice Memos. The demo showed a guitar player laying down a progression and then simply singing on top of it. It looks like the magic stops at two tracks, but there’s a simple editing interface that lets allows for adjustments to each layer. There’s also some algorithmic and machine learning mojo happening under the hood, as the demo doesn’t show the user wearing headphones when singing on top of the guitar track. In the old days, doing overdubs without headphones would be a one-way ticket to a ruined recording.  Apple didn’t announce when this feature is coming or what iPhone models it would be available for. The recently-announced iPhone lineup features a new microphone array, which could enable this feature. We’ll update this post when we know more.
