QVox vs FeedbackGuard

QVox is a creative audio effect that transforms vocals, guitars, drums, and synths into four independent voices. Create beautiful harmonies, widen instruments and design groovy rhythmic sequences with diatonic pitch shifting and delay. You can choose the key, scale, and each voice’s pitch and delay interval, with the ability to alter any parameters in real-time using the Ribbon controller. Features: - Four independent voices (labeled as A, B, C, D) with diatonic pitch shifting and delay. - Select Key and Scale to create harmonies that coincide with your compositions or use the Learn button to set the key by the incoming note you play. - Group the four delays so that they are evenly spaced or spread out. - Sync the delays to tempo, or a value of your own choosing. - The Ribbon controller allows for dynamic modification of several knobs at once to easily morph between settings. - Factory presets help get you started or create your own User presets. - Mixlock helps when auditioning different presets by enabling a global Mix value that will remain constant for every subsequently loaded preset. - Available as an Audio Units AUv3 plug-in and Standalone App.

FeedbackGuard is an Audio Unit v3 effect that stops acoustic feedback before it ruins your performance. Whether you are singing live, speaking on stage, or recording vocals on iPad, FeedbackGuard listens for runaway howling and automatically places precise notch filters — so you can focus on the show, not the squeal. HOW IT WORKS FeedbackGuard uses PNPR (Peak-to-Neighbourhood Power Ratio) analysis combined with a growth check to tell real feedback apart from normal voice, speech, or room tone. When a howling peak starts to build, the plugin tracks it with parabolic peak detection and deploys an adaptive notch bank that reacts in milliseconds. Designed for live use: attack and release times, suppression depth, and notch count are all under your control. KEY FEATURES • Real-time howling detection (PNPR + run-up check) • Adaptive notch bank — up to 24 simultaneous notches • Live spectrum display with active notch markers • "Balanced" preset for safe, transparent defaults • 3 user preset slots — tap to recall, hold to save • Fine-tuned controls: Sensitivity, Notch Threshold, Suppression, Q, Attack, Release • Optional harmonic tracking for stubborn feedback tones • Optional spectral noise reduction for quiet passages • Full bypass GET STARTED IN SECONDS 1.
