I have ordered a Tascom IM2 for my iPhone and don't know what software I should download to use with it. I downloaded Wave Pad because I have used it on my PC to edit sound files when buring CD's. I know the iPhone may not be the best taping device, but I have been to a lot of shows that were not taped and I could never get a copy of the show I attended, e.g. 7 walkers and Mickey Hart both in the past year. I also am starting to see more shows from venues like Phil's terrapin crossroads that have no-taper policies being taped on iPhones and shared on archive.org. Some sound good enough to get me to spend $60 on the mike rig. The other software I heard about was Twisted Wave, but it costs $10 and WavePad was free, but I'll glady spend the money if it produces better results. Any advice about software or effective ways to use my iPhone greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, I meant Tascam, not Tascom. I get so used to typing the word .com that my fingers get ahead of my brain. iTunes says that Blue Fire is not available in the US?? They do have Fire available for $5.99 and if it is really best I don't mind spending a few bucks on it. I am currently using WavePad which was free and seems to work. It allows me to record and save .wav files at 44.1KHz, 32bit. I was also looking at TwistedWave which costs $10. If either of these paid software versions all me to record and save at a higher sample rate I'll get them right now. I don't seem to find this information on the write ups. I use Acid Music Studio after I upload to my computer, so I really don't need any special features on my iPhone software, only the best possible recording.

You could try emailing spunterrapin. He doesn't seem to be on TS, and not sure if this is an active email, but its what he uses for his etree account and hes taped lots of Phil and Friends shows with the iPhone and tascam combo. You could ask him what he uses.
