**Description:** Eos 2 is Audio Damage's studio-quality algorithmic reverb, now with five custom reverb algorithms designed in collaboration with Sean Costello of Valhalla DSP. Available as an AUv3 App Extension for hosts like AUM, AudioBus, GarageBand, Cubasis, and Auria Pro, and as a standalone application. Five algorithms give you a broad palette of reverb for any production context. Three plate algorithms cover everything from tight, dark vintage plates to wide stereo ambience. The new Random Plate algorithm produces organic, evolving reflections that never quite repeat, and is beautiful on pads, keys, and vocals. SuperHall delivers the incredibly long, densely modulated hall sounds that Eos has always been known for: Eno-style ambience that simply isn't possible with convolution reverbs. The streamlined interface makes it easy to dial in exactly the sound you need, from a short, dense room on your drum bus to an infinite wash of sound on a synthesizer pad. **Features** - Five reverb algorithms: Mono Plate, Stereo Plate 1, Stereo Plate 2, Random Plate, and SuperHall - Full control over pre-delay, room size, decay time, attack, and diffusion - Rate and depth modulation for lively, animated reverb tails - Three-band EQ with adjustable crossover points to sculpt the tonal character of the reverb - Infinite mode for drones and sustained textures - Mix lock preserves your wet/dry balance when browsing presets - Resizable interface with real-time waveform display - Factory presets included, with full cross-platform user preset management - AUv3 App Extension and standalone application - Note: Eos 2 is a dense, heavily modulated algorithmic reverb. For best results on older devices, use a single instance as a send effect.

Say Hi! to your new favourite iOS compressor AUv3 plugin! ToneBoosters Compressor is an AUv3 plugin for professional, mastering-grade compression and dynamics processing. This flexible plug-in has all the features you will ever need, such as: - Soft knee compression - Parallel compression - Upward and downward compression - External side-chain input (if supported by the host) - Band-limited compression - Spatially selective compression This compressor is suitable for every compression task and beyond: - Track compression - Bus and master bus compression - De-essing and de-harshing using the band-limited compression feature The user interface shows compression in action, with a real-time and interactive display of levels, gains and curves. Assisted sliders provide guidance to accurately adjust threshold, makeup and range parameters. Want to hear what signal elements are affected by compression? Hit the audition button and listen to everything that is changed by the compressor in isolation. The side-chain editor allows you to adjust the frequency response of the side chain, and has an integrated spectrum analyzer. You can select which channels the side chain listens to, including selection of mid or side channels. Obviously we have provided an audition button for the side chain as well! Imagine you could just compress the mid or side channel, and apply compression to a specific frequency range only. Dynamically make space for elements without having to compress the full mix; de-ess those sibilant vocals in the mid channel; soothe those harsh frequencies; the possibilities are endless. This is all possible with the compression zone feature. The ToneBoosters Compressor app captures the microphone (or external sound card) input and processes the signals in real time. To use it as a plug-in, use an AUv3-compatible host app such as Steinberg Cubasis, Apple Garageband, Audio Evolution Mobile Studio, Auria, AUM, or others. ToneBoosters Compressor will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins. Key features: - The same professional sound as the acclaimed desktop version - Ultra-low harmonic distortion, even with very short attack and release times (THD less than -100dB at 1kHz, depending on the selected compression mode) - Full-fledged side-chain equalizer - Audition function for compressor and side chain - Integrated spectrum analyzer for output and side chain - Variable release curve shape and release time - Upward and downward compression - Signal-adaptive release - Auto make up - Range parameter to limit the amount of compression - Dry/wet (amount) control for parallel compression - Zero latency (for live use) or lookahead mode (for studio use) - Interactive user interface with assisted sliders, curve and gain visualization - Undo/redo, and A/B comparison - Color themes for the user interface - Max screen support in Garageband - Optimised for iPad and compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch What you should know: - Licenses acquired for this platform are not compatible with other platforms. - Audio Unit (AUv3) extensions require an iPad mini 2, iPad 4 or later models.
