Backpack Studio3.1.9 - App Store

Backpack Studio turns your iPhone or iPad into a live soundboard and a complete mobile podcast studio.

It’s easy to get started, but there’s plenty here for professionals too. Under the hood is a studio-quality sound engine built for recording and live mixing.

Need a soundboard? Load your music, sound effects, cues, intros, voice clips, or anything else you want to play. Arrange everything across multiple pages, then trigger sounds instantly during a podcast, performance, event, class, or stream. We think it’s the most powerful soundboard you can put on an iPhone or iPad.

Making a podcast? Record in high quality, mix microphones and sound pads live, invite remote guests, edit the recording, stream your show, and export the finished episode-all from one app.

When the recording is finished, Backpack’s optional AI tools can create a transcript, show notes, chapters, and highlight clips. You can even generate original sound effects and music for your show or soundboard.

People use Backpack Studio for:

Podcasts and radio shows
Live events and streams
Theatre productions
Church services
Workshops and classes
Voice presentations
Weddings and dance recitals
Stage management
Magic and puppet shows
