Fantastic Voyage is like ‘an updated 4-track PortaStudio’ for your Mac
A cheap and cheerful modular recording environment
If you’re feeling nostalgic for a simpler era of home recording, but don’t want to do without digital niceties, Giorgio Sancristoforo’s Fantastic Voyage could be the Mac app you’ve been waiting for. Inspired by old-school Tascam PortaStudios, it’s a 4-track recorder with an integrated looper and virtual stompbox.
Operating standalone, the software includes a matrix that enables you to customise the signal path and connect the various sections of the software however you like. There are no internal sounds; this is an audio-only app and, at just €14.99, a pretty cheap one at that.

"It's loud, in-your-face, and has more punch than a kangaroo at boxing practice": What is OTT compression - and how do you use it?
I’m the Deputy Editor of MusicRadar, having worked on the site since its launch in 2007. I previously spent eight years working on our sister magazine, Computer Music. I’ve been playing the piano, gigging in bands and failing to finish tracks at home for more than 30 years, 24 of which I’ve also spent writing about music and the ever-changing technology used to make it.
