Olympia Noise Co Patterning

Patterning is a deep and flexible drum machine unlike any you’ve encountered before. With its elegant circular interface, Patterning transforms the iPad into a seriously inspiring tool for making beats. Most are aware that I am a HUGE fan of Patterning AND also a content developer for the app. My recent kit “Dj Puzzle Funkstep” was announced in this update and I am so happy to be part of it. Olympia Noise Co is a master of crafting ingenuity for the touch screen. Olympia Noise have a consistent track record for producing some of the most useful and interesting apps. Chordion, Ondes, and dot Melody set the bar high and they did not disappoint following up with their latest app Patterning.

What’s New in Version 1.0.4

Important! Patterning will update the database on first launch. This may take up to a minute or two to complete. Hang tight!

Esspresso Advanced De-Esser For iPad
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , ,

Esspresso-De-Esser-for-iPad

Espresso is an advanced de-esser app for iPad with an intuitive user interface. The uniqueness of Esspresso is that the detection frequency range isn’t coupled with the suppressors frequency range. That means you can listen to a specific frequency and compress another one, which is often what you’ll want from a professional de-esser. With a fast and accurate frequency response view, you will easily get full control over annoying S-sounds that ruin the mix.

Esspresso-De-Esser-for-iPad

Noteworthy features:

• Audiobus 2 compatible (works in iOS9)
• Inter app audio compatible (IAA)
• Detector sensitivity gain
• Visual reduction RMS
• Visual detector RMS
• Suppressor can work as allpass, bandpass and highpass
• Load / Save presets
• Documentation

Note! Esspresso consumes quite a bit of CPU power and iPad 4 or later is recommended.

Remaster EQ Compressor Audio Unit Effect

Remaster-EQ-Compressor

Remaster sports the only 7 band parametric equalizer as an AU plugin (Audio Unit) and for Audiobus. Open several instances of Remaster in an AU host like MultitrackStudio for example. It is fully multitouch enabled. Remaster is a tool to rework your songs, loops and recordings. Currently a seven band equalizer can be employed, including a toggle to normalize the sound or not. The latest addition to our effects line is a compressor inspired from our Compressor app. The feature set will grow over time.

Remaster EQ Compressor Audio Unit

The equalizer is a seven band parametric equalizer with full visual as well as text entry control for all three parameters: gain, center frequency and q.

The compressor is a standard volume compressor with attack and release settings as well as threshold and compress ratio.

Both compressor and equalizer have a number of presets available to get you started and you can save your own presets as you create them.

Processing is done in 64 bit and has a sophisticated dither function as final step to prevent quantization errors. Dithering can be disabled to improve processing speed.

*Removed all in-app purchases.

Export settings to PDF
This function allows to create a table of your current settings (frequency, gain and Q for each node) and email it as a PDF. Every generation of a PDF is a separate purchase.
