Korvpressor Audio Compressor For iPad
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , ,

Korvpressor

Korvpressor* is an adaptive compressor / limiter that’s usable in many different ways. It has a super-simple UI, a whole new ”physical” take on how to tame and visualize a compressor.

The controls are minimal – set the input gain, level of compression, and the output gain. However, don’t be mislead by this simplicity. Under the hood is a sophisticated set of algorithms, developed together with a team from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. The compression algorithm was designed with transparency in mind, and Korvpressor will sound great on almost any kind of sound; all from a vocal track to a full blown mix. If you push it even harder, it gives a nice squeezing effect.

Besides the compression unit there are three controls for low, mid and high frequency gains.

*Korv = Sausage (Swedish)
In addition to the compression unit there are three knobs for controlling low, mid and high frequency gains.

Korvpressor supports Inter App Audio and Audiobus (including state saving).

Noteworthy features:

• Algorithm developed by a team of engineers and professional musicians

• Intuitive and unique user interface

• Enable/Disable lookahead time

• Inter App Audio (IAA) compatible.

• Supports Audiobus 2 including state saving.

• Load / Save user presets

Korvpressor is available for $4.99 for a limited time

Best Voice Looper
VoiceJam Studio – TC Helicon $4.99

Sing, Loop, Share. What if you could create something musically amazing with just your voice? What if you didn’t need musical instruments, sheet music, or complicated recording software? What if you could create an entire song with your voice, simulating bass lines, melodies, rhythms and sound effects, all in one pass, without ever stopping to think about it?

At the heart of VoiceJam is a powerful audio looper. An audio looper works by recording sounds you make while playing them back in a repeating loop. The cool thing is that as the loop repeats, you can keep layering new sound on top of it. You can harmonize with yourself, add rhythms with your voice, record the sounds of random objects in your life – the possibilities are endless.

That’s just the beginning. VoiceJam was designed from the ground up to be a live performance tool. You’ll be able to perform and record an entire masterpiece from scratch using only the sounds you can create with your voice or with the objects in your world. The length of your audio recordings are only limited by the storage available on your device.

– Instantly record and layer to 6 separate loops, jumping between them at will. Loops can be up to 60 seconds long.

Create your own music from the ground up using just your voice and whatever is around you. Realtime harmony lets you create and layer sounds as fast you can think of them. Unleash your imagination and build awesome audio tracks in seconds.

• Built-in effects to add chorus, distortion, reverb, low-pass, and high-pass filters with the push of a button. Quickly transform your voice into other instrument sounds as you play.
• Synchronized, auto-expanding looper to layer up to 6 audio tracks at once. Easily start/stop any track and clear tracks individually when you want to overwrite/undo.
• Integrated recording function to save and share songs. Send to other installed apps, attach to email, or download later from iTunes when you sync your device.
• Low-level core audio implementation makes everything run super fast and robust (built using The Amazing Audio Engine).
• Headphone-aware control logic reduces the chance of squeaky feedback while you record.
• Great for all experience levels, from beginners to experts.
• Precision interface optimized for 10-finger multitouch.

Fiddlewax instruments are designed from the ground up to enable anyone who enjoys music to experiment, play, and create their own songs without formal teaching or instruction.

Every aspect of Fiddlewax puts music first. The simple interface helps musicians focus on what they’re creating; there are no ads, faux-wood textures, or frivolous interaction to distract from the creative process.

Fiddlewax takes the best of both physical and virtual instruments to create something totally new. Full 10-finger multitouch support and maximum playing area provide for seamless digital interaction, while under the hood, samples are processed and routed as analog signals with variable frequency and timing.
