## What is SoundScope VR?

SoundScope VR for iOS is a full-featured audio spectrum analyzer. It provides advanced audio analysis using the latest FFT-based high-resolution algorithms and tools for detailed and precise audio analysis. SoundScope VR allows you to overlay the audio analysis data over a real-time view of your surroundings, to capture what is causing the sound that you are analyzing. This analysis can be saved as a video on your device.

If you need a two-channel FFT for your iOS device, check out Transfer Function, a module in our AudioTools app.

SoundScope is based on our proprietary algorithms, techniques, and features. 

Now, you can have the sophisticated analysis of SoundScope VR on the iPhone platform.

The single-channel audio analyzer includes these features: RTA Bar graph, RTA Line graph, RTA Bar & FFT graph, Spectrograph, and VR analysis of environmental sound. 

A variety of smoothing and averaging algorithms are available, including log, lin, Octave, 1/3rd, 1/6th, 1/12th, 1/24th and 1/48th Octave modes. 

The decay modes include None, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 averages, and exponential 1-10 second custom decay settings, as well as Infinite, Fast, and Slow.

The frequency scale can be zoomed down to a single octave, and the dB scale can be zoomed down to 1dB resolution. Double-tap the screen to return to full frequency response, and to auto-scale the dB scale.

Real-time Spectrograph history is saved, just swipe to see sound events that have scrolled off the screen.

Other features include high-contrast mode, variable Spectrograph speed, vertical or horizontal running Spectrograph, Difference mode, Peak Tracking, and FFT Windowing.

New features include the ability to replace the background with a live video camera feed, and also do screen recording to capture a record the sound levels and also what is happening physically in the space. This is next-level VR audio analysis.

All of the standard AudioTools features, such as Save / Recall and the Generator Panel are available. All settings are automatically saved and restored the next time that you run the app.

On iPad and larger iPhones, split graph mode is available, so that you can put any two graphs on the screen at the same time. Check out the screenshots to see if your device supports them.

SoundScope RTA Spectrum works great with the built-in iOS device microphone, as we have proprietary microphone compensation and calibration database derived for every iOS device. To upgrade to full professional results, use our iTestMic, or iAudioInterface2 with any test & measurement microphone.

Also see our other great audio test and measurement apps including AudioTools.

### 1/5 — RTA Bars/Graph Not Working

*2024-06-06*

Spectrograph works fine but the RTA Bars/Graph do not display at all on my iPad Pro running iOS 17.x

**Developer response:** Hi, so tech support is available at support@studiosixdigital.com and could have answered this right away for you, reviews take much longer to process! The answer is to double-tap the screen to set the dB range to match the input levels. If you continue to have issues please email us!

### 5/5 — 购买了闪退呢

*2024-03-05*

购买了闪退呢，用不成，希望官方大人回复一下

### 1/5 — 垃圾玩意

*2023-12-03*

瞎扣费.

### 3/5 — Used it for years but needs updating

*2018-10-29*

I have owned this app since it came out in 2010 or so. Best fft app available in my opinion. Last year I bought an iPhone X and have been disappointed ever since.  Love the phone but for whatever reason this app does not like the new platform. It appears as a smaller screen in your bigger phone.  Also I might add I now have an iPhone xs max and it has the same smaller screen format. Also some of the features/buttons are rounded off and sometimes not accessible until you flip your phone 180deg. Obvious the developer is not using this app on the new iPhone format ie no push button, extended screen and rounded corners. This app needs an overhaul.

**Developer response:** Hello,
First, thanks for being a long-time user and for reaching out to us. We appreciate the feedback, although we can respond quicker if you email us at support@studiosixdigital.com. 
As to the app, we have tested and built for the new devices, including iPhone XS Max (I have one myself) and if you are running the latest version, 4.7.0, it should work well. 
The "image in a box" is due to Apple adding the notch and the thin action bar at the bottom. We need to avoid those areas, and thus the app display auto-adjusts to avoid what Apple calls "safe areas'. We have rebuilt all of our apps to respect this screen area.
As to rounded-off buttons, if you could please send us more information about this to the email address above we would appreciate it.
Best,
Andrew

### 4/5 — Emergency!

*2018-01-06*

Please correspond to the size in iPhoneX! Setting in the lower left isn't changed.
Please renew immediately!

### 5/5 — Excellent to have if you don't have your computer with you.

*2017-06-27*

They did a great job recreating the look and feel of Smaart on the computer and configuring it for the iOS platform without dimming anything down. Very easy to navigate and it can pretty much do everything it's computer counterpart can do. Works very well no complaints or concerns so far.

### 4/5 — I was wrong!!

*2016-06-11*

App DOES support external interface!! Why no website or support though?! Crazy!!

**Developer response:** Hi,
Please see studiosixdigital.com, and you can always contact us for support from the support page on that site. --Andrew

### 5/5 — Paying the same thing twice

*2015-04-08*

SMAART is a great app! I use it daily! Also, the apps in AudioTools are very useful for people who deal with sound!
