Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
New features and improvements:
- Stem Splitter. Extract drums, bass, vocals, guitars, and other instruments from your samples then use them in isolation or blend them together in a new mix.
- Improved Preview playback peformance. Preview will no longer stop when changing fidelity, repitch, normalize, and other values.
Fixes:
- Compressor attack and release ranges were off by a decimal point. Now attack = .1ms -> 2ms; release = 40ms -> 1000ms.
- Double tap effects faders to reset.
- When sample was reversed playhead played backwards, which was technically showing forward play. Now playhead always begins from the left.
- Deleted samples no longer re-appear after delete.
- Prevented backup attempts across devices, which could fault the memory.
