Life Field Recorder vs NueCtrl

In a world where ready made presets and loops have made music making a lot easier, it has also made music less personal. Life by XLN Audio enables you to easily capture your life moments and instantly create beats – adding life to your music. With the Life Field Recorder companion app, you can capture a moment from your favourite spot in the woods, or the ignition from a car. You can explore rhythmic sounds from a pedestrian crossing or different kitchen appliances. Try something different and explore underwater sounds. Capture walking on gravel. Anything can become a beat. The recordings made by the Life Field Recorder are automatically synced and instantly available in the Life by XLN Audio plugin (sold separately) where you can create beats. Recording, importing, slicing and sorting audio slices into beats is fully automated – so you can focus on capturing moments and creating beats. You can also import audio or video directly into the Life Field Recorder from your camera roll to create beats from the moments you already cherish. Capture moments. Create beats. Add life to your music. Life by XLN Audio.
