This is an AUv3 compatible Multi-Track Recorder plugin specifically designed for AUM and other DAW's that don't support audio recording capabilities. MultiTrack can be used for a host of purposes such as a tool for recording and layering audio for export to other DAW's , creating that perfect loop for other third party applications or recording vocal sessions to accompany you in AUM. Its uses are endless. It features the ability to record up to 8 mono or stereo audio tracks per instance, with the ability to run multiple instances under the control of your host DAW. MultiTrack has the ability to run standalone using it's own transport or synced to a host which allows synchronous control of multiple instances. MultiTrack supports various recording modes including the ability to set punch in and out points for sample accurate recordings. Press the Host Sync in order to the advantage of the hosts transport controls or enable the remote button to enable host recording controls (great for NS2). Use the Audio Pool window to quickly and easily import, export and perform mix-downs of audio clips. Quickly and easily move audio files using drag and drop to the time line or between the audio pool and the Files App. Imported audio is automatically converted to the projects sample rate. The audio pool also features the ability to copy and paste audio directly from the iOS pasteboard as well as preview and manage your data. An intergrated 8 channel mixer allows you to control the level, pan and effect send levels. Although AUM allows some great routing options for third party effects, MultiTrack also includes an extremely CPU friendly beat synced delay and reverb which can be used where recording pre-effected instruments is not an option. MultiTrack allows per clip volume level as well as being able to control start and end cropping and fade in/out on a clip by clip basis. All these operations are quick and easy to make using the touch screen alone. Also included is the ability to perform operations such as splitting, normalising, reversing and time stretching of audio clips all with a multi-level undo built right in. A comprehensive set of selection, copying and duplication tools make editing a breeze. Each track has it's own mute, solo and metering which can also be used to monitoring incoming signal levels. Finally you have the ability to mix down a selected range of your song or create perfectly looped samples for use in other DAW's , samplers and drum machines such as DigiStix. Features: ○ 8 tracks per instance. ○ Mixer with level, pan and effect settings. ○ Mix mono or stereo clips on a track. ○ Built in CPU friendly delay and reverb. ○ Multi-level undo function. ○ Loop play and record modes (when not synced to host). ○ Mix-down facility. ○ Cut, copy, paste and duplicate clips. ○ Ability to sync to host tempo. ○ Metronome with count-in. ○ Drag and drop support with the Files App. ○ Backup and Restore of individual songs. ○ Automatic conversion of imported audio. ○ Zoom mode for use when cropping clips.

BLEASS Multiband Compressor is the perfect tool for injecting loudness, power and punch into your mixes, stems and tracks. Whether you are creating music on-the-move on your iPad, producing your masterpiece in the studio, or doing both, BLEASS Multiband Compressor dispenses detailed precision control over your music's dynamics. One of the secret weapons of professional mix and mastering engineers, multiband dynamics processors have various advantages over conventional broadband processors. By separating your audio into three frequency bands, and processing each independently, BLEASS Multiband Compressor ensures that loud passages and transients in one frequency range do not impact on how the other bands behave. This eliminates the "volume pumping" effect often exhibited by broadband compressors, making BLEASS Multiband Compressor the perfect tool for processing drum kits, synths, pianos and – of course – full mixes and stems. The plugin works brilliantly with other sources too, from solo instruments to vocals and spoken voice. Unusually for a multiband processor, each of BLEASS Multiband Compressor's three bands features a dual stage dynamics processor. This consists of an Above stage that senses for and processes signals whose level exceeds the Above threshold, and a Below stage that senses for and processes signals that are quieter than the Below threshold. Additionally, each stage can operate as either a compressor or, by dialing in Ratio values below 1:1, an expander. Altogether this makes for phenomenally versatile control over the volume and loudness of your mixes, stems and parts. Another innovative feature of BLEASS Multiband Compressor is its flexible sidechain system. This allows you to choose which bands will key from the input signal in the normal way, and which will key from a filtered and/or external signal. This is ideal for corrective work such as controlling resonances, sibilances and other unwanted artefacts, but is also a fabulous creative tool, allowing for stylish ducking effects and ultra-deep dynamics control. Rounding things off, the plugin provides comprehensive output level and dry / wet balance control, along with a soft clipping feature that ensures overly-hot signals don't become nasty and harsh, but instead take on a classic valve-like saturation character. BLEASS Multiband Compressor stands out for its great sound, innovative features, versatile dynamics control, and exceptional efficiency.
