Bringing desktop-grade audio editing, recording, and on-device AI together, SoundLab is a powerful sound editor that lets you edit audio, clean up speech, separate vocals, and mix up to 16 tracks. SoundLab is more than an audio editor. It is built for the ideas, quick edits, and unexpected creative needs that come up during music and podcast production, so you can start creating anytime, anywhere on your iPhone or iPad. We won't claim SoundLab replaces a desktop DAW. But it is a serious mobile production tool for the moment the idea arrives and you don't want to open a computer — or wait thirty seconds for a desktop DAW to launch. Precise Multitrack Audio Editor • Mix up to 16 tracks with gain, pan, mute, and reordering. • Copy, cut, paste, trim, insert, replace, split, duplicate, join, move, and more—with unlimited undo/redo. • Zoom smoothly for millisecond-level selections. • Loop any range while you work. • Draw non-destructive volume curves for fades and ducking. • Record overdubs directly into your project while monitoring playback. AI Vocal Separator & Vocal Remover Separate vocals and instrumentals, create acapellas, or make backing tracks with the vocal remover. Karaoke Mode preserves fuller accompaniment. AI runs locally: no uploads or server queue. AI Stem Separator Split into four stems—vocals, drums, bass, other—or six with guitar and piano. Preview and balance parts, then export a mix or individual stems. AI Noise Reducer & Audio Enhancer Use AI Noise Reducer on recordings or AI Noise Suppression on selected audio. EQ, compression, de-essing, normalization, amplification, and Bass Boost provide enhancement for voice and music. 25+ Selection-Based Effects Apply 25+ effects to any waveform range, including AI separation and noise suppression, 10-band EQ, Reverb Pro, Tape Delay, Compressor, Change Pitch/Tempo, Fade In/Out, Phaser, Reverse, Silence Remover, and more. Master Effects Master Effects run in real time on the mix bus. Adjust tempo, pitch, reverb, and EQ while previewing, then export alternate versions without changing tracks or clips. Audio Recorder • Quick Recorder: Capture ideas with your chosen input device. • Recording Studio: Monitor your mic, set input gain, use a limiter and reverb, and record over a backing track—with or without it in the saved mix. • Use compatible external microphones and audio interfaces recognized by iOS. Import, Create & Organize • Import from Files, Music Library, other apps, or Wi-Fi; extract audio from video. • Convert text to speech and add, insert, or replace audio in your project. • Sync audio with iCloud; archive and restore projects through iCloud, USB drives, or external storage. • Use Video Composer to mix audio with video and create soundtrack videos. Flexible Export Export AAC, ALAC, MP3, FLAC, or WAV with selectable channels and sample rates, plus high-bitrate and lossless options. Add metadata and cover art in supported formats. Save to Files or iCloud, share, or export a ringtone. SoundLab is perfect for: • Music lovers and independent creators • Podcast and voice-over producers • Music students and teachers • Especially for users who are familiar with Audacity or Audition SoundLab Pro SoundLab Pro unlocks all Pro features.

Your wedding music needs to be perfect, and Wedding Player makes sure it is. Build your wedding playlist for every moment, then play it exactly on cue: offline once downloaded, with smooth fades, and a locked playlist so the wrong song cannot play. Built by a dad for his daughter's wedding, and now available for yours. Wedding Player is purpose-built for the ceremony and the whole day: your own running order, your own tracks, perfectly timed. ▸ READY BEFORE THE DAY Wedding Readiness Reminders tell you before the day if something needs attention. Every couple gets a free wedding countdown. Full Access adds reminders if a track isn't ready to play offline, a moment has no music, or Wedding Player loses access to Apple Music, plus a day-before summary. Pros get one summary of every client wedding that needs attention, up to 24 months ahead. ▸ APPLE MUSIC, YOUR OWN FILES, OR OUR FREE LIBRARY Combine tracks from your Apple Music library with custom-edited local files (MP3, M4A, WAV, AIFF) in a single ceremony playlist. Most apps make you pick one. Wedding Player lets you mix both. Or start from Wedding Player Originals, a free built-in library of over 70 ceremony tracks you can download inside the app. New Originals appear as soon as they're added. ▸ MORE THAN A PLAYLIST: A CEREMONY TIMELINE Create named moments (Walking Down The Aisle, Signing The Register, Leaving), each with its own playlist, fade settings, and transition controls. Advance between moments with a single tap and a smooth fade-out countdown. ▸ NEW: WEDDING BACKUPS, PLUS iCloud SYNC Wedding Player now backs up every wedding on this device once a day, after you make changes, and before you delete a moment or a wedding. Restore any backup as a copy from Settings > Backups, or save one to Files. Included for everyone. With Full Access, your wedding also stays in sync across your iPhone and iPad through iCloud. ▸ GO LIVE: BIG CONTROLS, LOCKED RUNNING ORDER Switch to Live Mode and hand the device to whoever's pressing play. Extra-large controls. The playlist is locked, so no wrong songs and no wrong versions, and there is no skip control to hit by accident. Switching moment, restarting or leaving Live Mode all ask you to confirm first. Fade Out is one tap by default, or turn on Ask before fading so a stray tap asks first. Set it up once. Press play with confidence. ▸ PLAYS OFFLINE ONCE DOWNLOADED Wedding Player plays offline once your tracks are downloaded, even in airplane mode. No venue WiFi, no streaming, no ads, no surprises. Your own files play directly from your device, and the Offline Readiness check shows which Apple Music tracks still need downloading. ▸ PROFESSIONAL AUDIO • Crossfade between tracks (1 to 10 seconds) • Gapless transitions for Apple Music tracks (native MusicKit) • Volume normalisation across all tracks (-3 dBFS target) • Per-track trim points with fade-in option • Configurable fade-out (2 to 15 seconds) with live countdown ▸ BUILT FOR THE DAY • Per-track or per-moment looping (repeat until you're ready to advance) • Tracks flow on automatically inside a moment; the next moment is cued and waiting for your tap • Screen stays awake during playback • Works on iPhone and iPad ▸ TRY BEFORE YOU BUY The free demo includes 5 sample tracks and a guided walkthrough, and short video tutorials in Settings cover most of the main features. When you're ready, exit the demo and start building your own ceremony, then upgrade to Full Access for £12.99. One payment, forever. No subscription. No account required. ▸ FOR WEDDING PROFESSIONALS Running multiple weddings for a living? The Professional Licence (£5.99/month or £49.99/year, with a free month to start) lets every wedding keep its own moments, music and timings, so you can switch between them in a tap. Built for venues, celebrants and planners. Details at weddingplayer.app/professionals. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
