Remember the days of creating demos out of a four-track? Even if you don't, or you were lying when you said yes, Sonoma Wire Works can turn your iPhone into a portable recording studio through FourTrack, a songwriting and practice-aid application. Touted as "the essential solution for songwriters on the go," FourTrack provides you a recording solution in a tight and nifty package. Those ideas in your head can instantly be made permanent at the touch of your iPhone’s screen.

In three simple steps, you can get FourTrack to work its magic: (1) arm a track, (2) hit “Slide to Record”, and (3) repeat (1) and (2). . . OK, that's technically four steps, or infinite steps, really, but that's the great part! Just keep layering and layering until you have no more room for photos, iTunes songs, or contacts lists! FourTrack offers a 16-bit 44.1 kHz recording resolution giving you CD-quality sound. If only your phone conversations sounded that good.
