I had a positive experience with Howler. You know exactly when you're recording and when you're finished; it's very easy to use. There's a very wide margin for clipping. Although I do recommend mastering your recording in Abelton. In short, a highly recommended product that's very user-friendly.

I Highly Recommend The Howler…

Hi, I am extremely happy with my Howler product. Of course since this was an international purchase, initially I was a little skeptical about making the purchase. I spoke to Tim from Howler Audio, he was excellent. He gave me a breakdown of what the item would cost, including the expected tariff fee, and other expected international fees. Tim answered any and all of my questions that I had prior to making my purchase. I even contacted Tim at least two more times after I received my Howler, and he did not disappoint. Tim provided support for connecting the Howler so that it may be used for recording , and for streaming. Due to him providing information, and throughly explaining everything to me I was able to record music with the Howler. I will eventually move forward to create an actual recorded DJ set, and as a streamed segment, as well. I am extremely happy with the Howler, as well as the excellent customer service that I received from the company. The one suggestion I will make is do not waste time like I did with ChatGPT, or other sources for connecting, and or using the Howler. I suggest that you contact Howler Audio directly for any questions, or troubleshooting assistance with your Howler. Please purchase the Howler today, you will not be disappointed.

Howler produces an excellent product and the people that work there are amazing! Shipping to the US is lightning fast and I can’t recommend them enough. If you are in the market for a high end audio recorder/ streamer device they are the gold standard for DJs/ producers.

All hail Howler recorder!

The Howler recorder is an excellent product and is allowing me to document and immortalise my dj sets. The icing on the cake for me is the customer and after sales service. Excellent and a breath of fresh air in these times of poor service in all areas.

Great recorder and top-end support!

Great and reliable recorder and streamer, solid build, super easy to use, and does exactly what it promises. The hardware feels premium, and the setup is fast and intuitive. On top of that, their support team is insanely quick and genuinely helpful.. probably one of the best I’ve dealt with so far in my career. Can’t recommend it enough.
