Traktor Dj Stems For iPad

Traktor Dj Support For Stems and iPad

One can speculate I suppose. I do hope stems for the Traktor Dj iPad app is in the works. Stay tuned and follow us on twitter for future updates when stems become available for Traktor Dj on an iPad.

A Stem file is an open, multi-channel audio file that contains a track split into four musical elements –bass, drums, vocals, and melody for example. With each element available independently, you can mix in ways that just weren’t possible until now.

In the meantime if you are a Traktor user you can get a fine selection of stem packs at http://www.stemsounds.com

Pressit Multiband Compressor For iPad
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , ,

Pressit multiband compressor for iPad

Pressit is a multiband compressor for iPad and Mac by Klevgränd.

PressIt is a very sophisticated dynamic tool, best used as a master plugin, or to tighten up bus masters. It works really well on drums, but also background vocals or other stems that need to be tamed will fit well.

PressIt consists of three compressors who work independently of each other. They are fed with the low, mid & high frequency band of the incoming audio signal. The compressor units consist of our unique algorithm from Korvpressor, developed together with engineers from KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) in Stockholm. They gently shape the three signals (with full control), and then sums it back into a nice unity. Before the audio leaves the plugin, there’s an optional brick-wall limiter to prevent digital distortion.

Pressit multiband compressor for iPad

Features:
Three separate compression units
Compression algorithm developed by a team of engineers and professional musicians
Intuitive and unique user interface
Solo & bypass on each frequency band
Enable/Disable lookahead time
Optional brickwall limiter
Inter App Audio (IAA) compatible.
Supports Audiobus 2 including state saving.
Load / Save user presets
