AltiSpace is a convolution reverb app with advanced controls that provides realistic sounding natural acoustic space or the most famous reverb devices for any track or mix. A convolution reverb takes a captured sample (called an impulse response) from a real-world space or hardware and uses this to digitally simulate the reverberation of that space or device down to the last detail and nuance. Because it is sampled, not synthesized, convolution reverb is known for its stunning realism, and it is widely considered to be the best type of reverb. However, unlike the more common algorithmic reverbs, convolution reverbs usually does not have much control over the reverberation process. But AltiSpace, in addition to the ability to load your own impulse response files and a built-in library of real reverb device presets, has advanced settings such as EQ, gate, ducking, modulation and more. You can change the original impulse response parameters to something completely new and then save it as a new preset. This app has an easy-to-use user interface, where all the main controls are located on the single screen, and it is ready to use right out of the box, even without additional settings. And at the same time, you can easily change the parameters of the impulse responses from the built-in library to create your own sound. App features: Ability to import your own impulse response files. A large built-in library of presets from the most famous hardware reverbs. Convenient preset manager with the ability to group and search presets. Presets can be marked as favorites for display in the favorites group. Supports MIDI controllers (also Bluetooth) with learn or manually assign mode. Reverb can work with a stereo or mono input and convert it to stereo. Add dynamic noise before reverb for a more natural sound. The gate allows you to turn on the reverb when the threshold is exceeded. The ducking allows you to turn off the reverb when the threshold is exceeded. Sets the minimum reverb level for Gate and Ducking modes. Equalizer with high and low cut filters in chain before or after reverb. Changing the time (length) of the current impulse response. Possibility to set a fade out point for a smooth end of the impulse response. Sets the pre-delay time of the signal before reverb. Experimental feature to change the pitch of the impulse response. Amplifying early or late reflections. Adjusts the stereo image before the reverb. Haas effect for adding stereo space to a mono signal. Sets the depth and frequency of modulation the signal before reverb. Mixing dry / wet signal and adjusting the output level. Four-channel mode for better stereo ambience. Input and output level meters. Indicators of possible input clipping for standalone. Prevents any output clipping for standalone. Built-in full description of all controls.

It can work on iPhone and iPad as well as Mac / MacBook with M1 chip (and later). AltiSpace works on iPhone and iPad standalone, as an Audio Unit or Inter-App Audio module, and supports Audiobus. On MacOS, AltiSpace can works both as a standalone application and as an Audio unit (AUv3) with DAWs and other hosts that support AUv3 plugins. AltiSpace has a built-in detailed description of all parameters also available as PDF file on the application site.

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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AltiSpace 2 at 4.7 against Wireless Audio AUv3's 3.5. AltiSpace 2 also leads on ratings volume (30 vs 6). Wireless Audio AUv3's advantage is price ($4.99 vs $7.99). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
AltiSpace 2 costs $7.99 and Wireless Audio AUv3 $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AltiSpace 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AltiSpace 2 has 30 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of AltiSpace 2's written reviews are positive against 80% of Wireless Audio AUv3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
