Revolutionary

Audio Damage have always created quality effects apps and I have many of them. Their Enso looper is still something I turn to frequently. ODC is, as expected, amazing. You’re presented with 6 algorithms to get you started. But then you can tweak away to your heart’s content, creating some amazing sounds.

But then, if you start side-chaining through AUM feeding one ODC into another, you start to create some very special strangeness and charm. Be careful with this though. Subtlety is definitely the way.

Well done AD - another smash!

Fabulous possibilities

I've downloaded a ton of effects apps over the years but this is the one I keep coming back to. It's just beautiful. Throw any sound at it and it'll create epic paths of unfathomable gorgeousness that unfold before you into infinity. An essential purchase for anyone making music on iOS.

Dreamscapes to another world!

I am traditionally a hardware guy and avoid DAW’s as they quell my creativity. So AUM and various synths and effects on iOS are acceptable when I am away from my studio.

Trying to duplicate this app alone in hardware would be costly.

Other Desert Cities sounds phenomenal. I’ve only had it a half hour and I’m already on Arrakis.

Beautiful and musical

Much more than just a delay. This will turn your music into a lush dreamy work of art. I use it to some degree on almost every track.

Epic delay system …pure aural indulgence! 🏜

ODC is essentially a rare and exotic animal from another dimension aimed at the delay connoisseur. It provides a diverse range of algorithms that take delay into unchartered territories. It’s capable of everything from the subtle to the obscene (and everything in between)! It’s beautifully designed, with a gorgeous GUI and sounds utterly divine on a range of program material! A powerful creative tool with infinite potential, not to be missed - it’s delicious!

Evocative and inspiring

I could hardly believe the expressive possibilities $6 opened up with this app—sending my classical guitar through it. It appears to cover the sonic territory of Crystalline (which was slightly annoying not being AU) and Granulizer along with Apple's Delay Designer (lost when my MacBook died). Among other tricks, it offers the lowest latency I’ve ever had in a pitch shifter.

Other Desert Cities ODC

Crashing in GarageBand ios 15.01 ? When introducing this AUv3 unit as an effect in previously recorded tracks it crashes and mutes all the recorded tracks,which I have to reboot ,all other AUv3 effects i own are not affected,- seems like a bug in the app .

Another audio damage slam dunk

Loving the sounds so far and a nice amount of artist and preset patches.
