PSA1000 vs GuitarParrot

The PSA1000 Analog Saturation Unit plugin is a modern recreation of a '90s classic analog guitar preamp which is used in recording studios all around the world! It is used and "abused" for recording and characterizing not only guitars but also electric pianos, organs, synthesizers, electric basses and many other instruments. The original unit has found its place even in the mix stage for processing all type of sounds, as drum rooms, percussions, vocals, kicks, snares and sound fx too! For creating the PSA1000 Analog Saturation Unit plugin, Nembrini Audio has carefully modeled the original analog circuits and finely refined it by ear as all its products. Nembrini Audio also adds new features that brings the PSA1000 Analog Saturation Unit plugin to modern days: - Independent controls for left and right channels with individual and global links - Dry/Wet mix knob for both channels - Mid/Side operation - Spread circuit to widen the stereo field - Analog Link circuit to simulate the difference between left and right channels as in real analog world - Phase Reverse switch to take advantage of the original phase changes in the real analog unit when used in parallel - In and Out level knobs for maximum versatility Works as a standalone app, AudioUnit v3 effect, or Inter-App Audio effect

GuitarParrot® brings the classic "Follow the Leader" game to a whole new place - your phone or tablet! Start off easy, then increase the level as you improve! Work in all 12 keys, with many scale choices. Develop your abilities to hear notes and melodies and instantly land them on your guitar! Why is that useful? If you are a musician trying to improvise or learn songs, it becomes much easier as you connect your ear to your instrument. Any virtuoso musician will tell you that ear training is extremely important to musical growth. As an instructor, this is a game I play with students of all levels. I created this app to expand the game beyond what a normal human (me) could offer: Scale - choose from 4-note, 5-note, Major, Minor, and Custom scales. Keys - all 12 keys are available. Octaves - two octave settings let you explore the neck more completely. Levels - each level adds 4 notes to the melody. Level 10 is 40 notes long. Can you beat it? How about with a Chromatic scale? The "Custom" scale setting makes it possible to drill intervals, triads, or any other 1-octave arrangement of notes. The game can be played on iPad, iPhone or Silicon Mac, using the built-in mic or a guitar interface like iRig or a similar device. You can also use wired headphones with or without a built-in mic. Bluetooth playback is supported, but not Bluetooth mic. Although it is intended for Guitar, you can use any instrument or even sing. Instead of poking a note on the screen or touching colored lights in sequence, this app makes you listen and play your own instrument. There is no visual assistance, just rely your ear. This app is an incredible practice tool that should be a part of a complete program. A good instructor will show you how to apply the scales and notes to songs you may be learning.
