Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Input channel selection now works correctly
- Version 1.0.2 added the ability to choose a channel on a multichannel USB / Lightning audio interface, but the app still analyzed the operating system's default input - the mixed/main signal - instead of the channel you picked. This update makes the selection take effect, on both iPhone/iPad and Mac.
What was fixed:
- The chosen input channel is now routed directly from the audio interface into the analyzer, so only that channel is measured - not a downmix of the whole device.
- Your channel choice is remembered between sessions and restored automatically when you reconnect your interface.
