SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The Retronyms announced today that their iPhone App, Recorder, crossed the 200,000 sales milestone.

Zach Saul, a co-founder of the Retronyms, said, "We're excited to be able to announce this milestone, because as far as we know, we're the first paid app to get this many sales. For all of the people out there on the Internet trying to guess what the free/paid split is in the App Store, this gives you an idea."

Dan Walton, another co-founder of the Retronyms, said, "We designed Recorder to be as versatile as possible. However, musicians have specific recording needs. Because of this we worked with Sonoma Wire Works to build a portable four-track for the iPhone and 2nd generation iPod Touch. A four-track recorder allows you to record one track at a time while listening to the other three. The idea is that musicians can capture their music no matter where inspiration hits."

Recorder is an iPhone App that allows iPhone and iPod touch 2G users to record and play back audio, email it from their phone and copy it via wifi to any computer. It was the first recording app to support email and wifi sync. Further information, including a demo video, is available at Recorder's website, http://recordertheapp.com/. Recorder is available in the App Store.

FourTrack is an iPhone App that allows musicians to create multi-layered songs on their iPhone. It provides the ability to individually fade and pan each track, and it includes the standard Retronyms wifi-sync module, letting musicians copy the individual tracks to their computer for editing in a DAW. Further information about FourTrack is available at http://www.sonomawireworks.com/iphone/. FourTrack is available in the App Store.
