Visual Mixer vs Wireless Audio AUv3

Visual Mixer is an audio unit plugin that puts the volume and pan controls for all your tracks together into one simple interface. It can also be used as a replacement for submix groups in DAW host apps that don't support submix. In any mixing session, the most basic and often the most time consuming work is balancing the levels and setting the pan. Visual Mixer does the same thing that the volume and pan controls in your DAW application, but it puts all the controls in one place so you can see at a glance which tracks are panned left, centre, and right, and what their relative volume settings are. The ability to clearly see where your tracks sit in the stereo field makes mixing music easier, and can even lead to better sounding mixes. The most unique feature of Visual Mixer is that every instance of the plugin communicates automatically with every other instance, so that when you open any one of them, you can view and edit volume and pan, mute and solo for every track at the same time. Once you have used this simple tool, you won't want to do a mixing session without it.

Music making and audio processing has been growing and changing on iOS. The first app connections were with Audiobus, and then Inter-App Audio became available. The current standard is AUv3. There are many legacy apps and audio hosts, however, that have not updated. Wireless Audio AUv3 gives you an easy way to send audio from one iOS device to another using a low-latency WiFi connection; you can also connect audio unit hosts together -- either on a single device, or between devices using WiFi. There are no cables and boxes to buy (and to lose, or forget to take with you). Install the Transmit AUv3 onto an audio track of one host, the Receive AUv3 on the input slot of the audio track of another host, tap `connect,' and audio will be sent from one place to another with surprisingly low latency. The receiver can adjust buffering to maximize audio quality while minimizing latency. While your best results will be with a fast WiFi router and little cross-traffic on the network, you can still get a good connection even in noisy environments. Most modern DAWs support latency compensation, with the Receiver AUv3 reports -- this allows you to get precise synchronization of your recordings.
