Any good voice recording apps?

[StoneJack]

I am recording a series of voice overs. I use USB microphone Marantz and also USB sound output adaptor to Bose speakers and 3.5 mm headphone jack for headphones (Audio Technica ATH M20x) to monitor sound. In Garageband, the combination works great and I also use it sometimes to record simple musical tracks as well.

I use Garageband for voice recording, of which it has two types: Podcasts and Voice. I use Voice with Narration template, which is fine. I can talk and also listen to myself during recording.

Garageband is not a recording management application, so with an increasing number of tracks I was thinking of an app to record, edit audio and manage tracks both in cloud and locally. I bought Voice Recorder HD from app store, which does a decent job of syncing all tracks, but it sucks for editing. However, you also can't hear yourself during recording too. I tried almost all apps from AppStore and found that none of them support monitoring of sound recording, which I find very strange, as monitoring recording is a first thing a recording app should do.

Can anyone recommend a nice app with voice recording, editing and managing abilities?

I use Audio Hijack for audio capture and Fission for basic editing & conversion. Purchased both and saved 20 bucks. Well worth it in my opinion. Audio Hijack can be set up like a virtual mixer which allows you to route your sources and outputs to your needs.

I will also record through ios with a nt-usb mini mic. Waiting mu shipment to arrive. I wont use garageband. Will try “recorder” app. It does give you editing but just trimming. Also it monitors i guess. The mic has headphone out so i dont need it. Will just do voice over. Just want to learn that can i adjust usb mic’s gain ovee those apps that u tried?
Garageband allows that but as i said i wont use it.

I tried the Voice Recorder HD app, that does basically only trimming. It doesn't monitor, unfortunately (maybe I never found how it can be done). You are right that if NT (Rode?) has headphone jack, you can monitor through that. Actually, you can adjust USB mic's volume (gain) through Sound preference panel in Mac.
