RecForge II Pro is the ad-free version of RecForge II: a professional audio recorder and dictaphone for Android, built for people who need control over how sound is captured — not just a red button.
No ads, anywhere. No banners while you record, no interstitials when you stop. One-time payment.
Most voice recorder apps hand your audio to the system and hope for the best. RecForge II lets you set the gain yourself, switch off Automatic Gain Control, pick your codec and sample rate, and check your levels before you record. What you hear is what you get.
▬ WHY RECFORGE II PRO ▬
• No advertising of any kind
• Disable AGC (Automatic Gain Control) — no pumping, no auto-ducked levels
• Manual gain adjustment for quiet sources
• Live level preview BEFORE you record, so you set gain before the take, not after
• Real-time monitoring with a live audio spectrum analyzer
• 8 encoding codecs, including lossless FLAC and uncompressed WAV (PCM)
• Full external microphone support: TRRS adapter, RODE SC6, RODE smartLav, iRig Mic, iRig Cast, iRig Pre
• No recording time limit, and background recording while you use other apps
• Control the recorder from the notification shade
▬ RECORDING ▬
• High quality sound recorder for interviews, lectures, meetings, rehearsals, field recording, wildlife and nature sound, band practice, studio takes and voice notes
• Record to mp3, m4a, ogg, wma, opus, flac, speex or wav
• Sample rate from 8 to 48 kHz, bitrate from 32 to 320 kbps, 16-bit
• Mono, mono x2 or stereo
• Choose front, rear or external microphone
• Skip silences to keep long sessions compact
▬ PLAYBACK ▬
• Built-in player with stereo signal and spectrum display
• Loop any selection — for transcription, memorization, actor lines, recitation, instrument practice
• Music speed changer: time stretching with independent tempo, pitch and playback rate
▬ EDITING AND CONVERTING ▬
• Cut, crop, concatenate and merge your recordings
• Convert between all supported formats with full control over sample rate, bitrate and channels
• Extract the sound stream from a video file
• Tag your recordings and edit metadata
• Save speed and pitch changes as a new file
▬ FILE MANAGEMENT ▬
• Recordings are saved to your Music folder by default, so they stay on your device if you uninstall and are visible from a computer
• Organize in folders: rename, delete, copy, move
• Sort by date, name or size
• Share by email or messaging apps, or send to your cloud storage

• Sample rate 8–48 kHz, bitrate 32–320 kbps, 16-bit, mono / mono x2 / stereo
▬ MADE FOR ▬
Journalists and podcasters recording interviews. Students recording lectures. Musicians capturing rehearsals and song ideas. Field recordists and naturalists chasing quiet sources. Researchers, transcribers and language learners who need a clean, unprocessed file. Also used for concerts, sermons, conferences, ASMR and paranormal (EVP) recording.
▬ GOOD TO KNOW ▬
RecForge II Pro is not a call recorder and does not record phone calls.
Recording quality depends on your device's microphone and on the audio inputs Android exposes; AGC control and manual gain are not available on every device.
If recording stops while the app is in the background, check that a battery optimizer or task killer is not closing it — see dontkillmyapp.com
Every setting is explained in the FAQ: https://www.recforge.ovh/help

▬ PERMISSIONS ▬

• Music and audio: find and play back the recordings already on your device
• Notifications: show recording controls and status while recording
Previous Versions
Here you can find the changelog of RecForge II Pro: Voice Rec since it was posted on our website on 2016-09-21 07:50:04.
The latest version is 1.3.7 and it was updated on 2026-10-18 00:39:23. See below the changes in each version.
RecForge II Pro: Voice Rec version 1.3.7
Updated At: 2026-10-01
Changes: • New on Android 12 and later: record to the Recordings folder, kept apart from your music, and switch location right above the list, where the exact folder is shown. New installs use Recordings by default.
• Fixed: your markers could disappear on their own, or fail to follow a recording you renamed, moved, copied or deleted.
• Two recordings with the same name in two folders no longer share their markers.
RecForge II Pro: Voice Rec version 1.3.5
Updated At: 2026-09-09
Changes: • Fixed: moving your recordings to the Music folder could lose them. The copy is now compared byte for byte with the original before the original is deleted.
• Copy and paste now tells you when it did not work. A failed copy used to be silent.
• Fixed: a conversion running in the background could stop on its own.
• Fixed: several crashes when leaving the app while it was still working.
• When a recording cannot start, you are told straight away.
RecForge II Pro: Voice Rec version 1.3.6
Updated At: 2026-09-08
Changes: • Fixed: RecForge could report an interruption that had not happened, then suggest turning off battery optimisation for no reason.
• Fixed: without microphone permission, recording seemed to start but saved nothing. RecForge now tells you right away.
• The level meter no longer shows two channels for a mono recording, and the slider states that the gain is applied by software.
RecForge II Pro: Voice Rec version 1.3.4
Updated At: 2026-09-01
Changes: • Fixed: an interrupted conversion or edit left an incomplete file under the finished file's name. You could delete the original believing it had worked.
• Fixed: on some installations the app would not start at all.
• Fixed: a waveform that went flat stayed flat forever. It now rebuilds itself.
• Fixed: crashes when setting a ringtone, when recording from the notification, and during conversion.
• Opening a file no longer freezes the app.
RecForge II Pro: Voice Rec version 1.3.2
Updated At: 2026-08-22
Changes: • Fixed: a recording could end up completely empty, with no file saved. This is the main fix of this update.
• Fixed: the waveform stayed flat although the sound was fine.
• Home screen widgets are back.
• Security: another app could start recording through the widget.
• You can now buy the full version without leaving the app.
• Error messages name the real cause instead of blaming the destination folder.
• Persian added.
RecForge II Pro: Voice Rec version
Updated At: 2026-08-09
Changes: Fixed: the record button did nothing on Android 11 and 12. A permission
check added in 1.2.8.8 could never succeed there — recording now only
needs microphone access.
Fixed: the app never asked for access to your existing recordings. It now
requests file access at startup.
Fixed a crash that could occur when restarting your phone.
Error reporting is back on, so remaining issues can be found and fixed.
Widgets and the recording scheduler remain unavailable in the 1.2.x line.
