Read full description

This is an AUv3 compatible effect plugin which is intended for use inside your favourite DAW such as Cubasis, Auria, Meteor, AUM etc. It will not function as a standalone app. Visual Reverb is a studio quality plate reverb with multi-band EQ and the ability to analyse audio in real time giving an accurate and reliable spectrum representation of your signal flow. This reverb simulates the sound of those famous plate reverbs of old with high levels of diffusion it has a very smooth and pleasing reverb trail which can be tuned to suite using the EQ provided. It includes your typical set of 4 parametric filters which can be used to directly effect the reverb trail in isolation or if required the entire mix. This can be used in addition to the low and high pass filters which effect the reverb trail only. We use a high quality highly hardware optimised FFT to plot the frequency response through the reverb so you can see exactly what effect the EQ changes are having on the reverb trail. The scrolling interface automatically adjusts to the hosts window size to allow a double height display in an appropriate DAW. One of the great features of this reverb is the ability to create ducking reverb trails so that the reverb doesn't swamp your vocals and make an incoherent mess. You also have the ability to sync the pre-delay to the host tempo of your DAW. We also include a Compressor / Limiter section to ensure those EQ settings never get too aggressive. This is a specialised compressor that allows you to use either the reverb output as a control signal or the input signal. This allows you to emphesise reverb trails and create swells which follow a vocal line. You can load and save custom presets as well as copy and paste settngs between instances. This is great if you need to setup multiple instances with the same settings. This is the second of 3 plugins which will make up part of the 'visual' range of effects. Main Features: ○ High quality plate reverb with pre-delay. ○ Automatically sync the pre-delay to your host tempo. ○ Ducking options for surpressing reverb trails. ○ 4 resonant paramettic EQ (+/-24dB per band). ○ Pre or Post filtering options. ○ High and Low Pass filters. ○ Stereo widening and Diffuse filter. ○ Reverb comb filter modulation for tape type effects. ○ Touch interface with multi-touch for controlling filter Q. ○ Spectrum Analyser with 'Wet Only' and 'Output' monitoring. ○ Vertical shift and scale options for the spectrum. ○ Create and save custom presets. ○ Copy / Paste presets between instances. ○ Compressor / Limiter with Auto Makup Gain and Ducking. ○ Twin VU meters with ability to view as PEAK or RMS. ○ Quick Reset options for each section of the EQ. ○ Complete with pre-defined presets for the compressor and EQ sections.

With Vocal Tune Studio, pitch and time correction of vocal recordings is now finally possible on your iPhone or iPad! Use it as an Audio Unit effect inside your favourite DAW or in standalone mode. From popular effects to subtile correction: Retune notes to achieve the popular auto tune effect or apply a more subtile correction. Besides pitch correction, notes can be corrected for timing and volume level as well. Deep editing: Each individual note can be adjusted for retune time, retune amount, volume and the amount of formant correction. Artificial vibrato can also be added and adjusted to taste using the vibrato depth and rate controls and settings to adjust the time when the vibrato kicks in and the time in which it reaches the full vibrato depth to obtain a natural sounding vibrato. Key and scale detection: Vocal Tune Studio can detect the key and scale of a vocal recording automatically or a key and scale can be manually chosen. Two workflows: Choose between two workflows similar to popular desktop vocal tune software: start with either all notes quantised (corrected) or non-quantised. When choosing non-quantised, an additional Pitch Quantisation slider lets you move notes between their original sung pitch and the target pitch within the selected key and scale. Time correction as a bonus for all audio material: Aside from vocal pitch correction, Vocal Tune Studio also features a generic time correction/stretching mode which works on any type of audio material (not only vocals, but also guitars etc.). In this mode, any part of a recording that was played off-beat can be time corrected without affecting parts that were recorded in time. Export MIDI: Besides the host's ability to render the effect to an audio file, the identified notes can also be exported as standard MIDI file. Standalone mode: Besides being a AUv3 plug-in, you can also run the app standalone. Record audio directly, import an audio file or paste an audio file from the iOS clipboard. Auto or manually tune your vocals and correct them for timing errors or apply time correction for any audio material. When finished, export the result to a WAV file. Note: Vocal Tune Studio is also available within our DAW, Audio Evolution Mobile Studio and offers much higher integration there, not requiring to 'record' the audio first into Vocal Tune Studio. User manual: You can find the user manual in PDF and HTML formats here: https://www.audio-evolution.com/manual/vtsau/index.html Tutorial video: Vocal Tune Studio being used inside Audio Evolution Mobile Studio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st75zBB4lds PLEASE NOTE: due to a bug in Auria, Vocal Tune Studio stops working when mixing down or freezing tracks. A work-around is to create a new audio track and select the master bus as input to perform bouncing.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Visual Reverb AUv3 Plugin holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vocal Tune Studio has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Visual Reverb AUv3 Plugin's written reviews are positive against 61% of Vocal Tune Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Visual Reverb AUv3 Plugin ships an update every 6 weeks, Vocal Tune Studio fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 1, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
