AudioShare Audio Document Organzier

THIS IS A MUST HAVE APP FOLKS! AudioShare is an audio document manager with powerful import and export abilities. I use it to download zip files and unpack them into my apps.

Organize all your soundfiles and midifiles on your device. Create folders, rename and move files and folders around, put everything where you can find it.

Use it to transfer files between apps and between your device and computer. For example, take a soundfile from your dropbox, open it in AudioShare and share it on SoundCloud. Or audiocopy sounds from your favorite music-making app and import into the AudioShare library for later sharing or copying into other apps. Or record your live-jam from other Audiobus-apps.

You can also record directly in the app, from hardware and other Audiobus compatible apps. Preview and play soundfiles with waveform display and looping, trim and normalize soundfiles, and convert to standard 16 bit 44.1KHz uncompressed WAV. With Audiobus, you can even play a file through Audiobus and record it back into AudioShare for external effects processing or sound-on-sound technique.

Drums by Asrodot iPad Drum App

The Table Metaphor
Ask a drummer or a percussionist what a wooden coffee table sounds like. He or she will reply that every inch of the table sounds differently. Some parts of the table will sound somewhat like a bass drum. Other parts of the table will sound more like a rimshot. Parts in-between will sound like a mixture of both.

A drummer or a percussionist placed behind a wooden coffee table will soon discover many different sounds the table has to offer and use it to create stunning rhythms. Much to the joy of the drummer/percussionist, and possibly to the annoyance of the other people sitting at the table. The table metaphor has been used in the creation of Drums by Asrodot. Using the real estate of the iPad screen it has been made sure that every pixel sounds just a little bit different, which makes drumming on the iPad come to life. Want to create drumrolls with subtle accents every third note? Now you can.

Choose Your Sound
This does not mean that Drums by Asrodot sounds like a coffee-table. The app comes loaded with six drum kits tailored for various styles of music. Watch the demo to get a taste of them all.

Features
Expressive
Quick and responsive action. Every pixel sounds just a little different.

6 Drum Kits
Cajón, Xylophone, Jazz, IDM, Drum&Bass 1 + 2.

Distortion
Increase gain to add a tube-like distortion that can dramatically change the sound.

Delay Module
With tweakable time, feedback and mix settings.

Customizable
Designed for both right-handed and left-handed drummers. Don’t like snare drums on the left and bass drums on the right? Just swap them around.

Drums by Asrodot is available for $0.99

Here’s what’s new:

Choose 256 if you want the fastest response time for live play. Only iPad 3, 4 and iPhone 5 default to 256 now, all other devices to 512. Find out more in this blog post about hardware buffer size.

AudioBus Buffer Size

Apps are now sorted alphabetically in the input/output/effects pop-over windows.
New status bar in the Audiobus main screen, showing current hardware buffer size and battery status. We don’t want you to run out of juice in the middle of a jam!
Some minor bugfixes.
