Filterjam is a multi-band resonant filter delivering weird ringmod-like filtered sounds. The input signal is divided into 4 bands that are then summed or multiplied together according to the selected mode. Filterjam can be very harsh or gentle, it can add brightness or depth to synth sounds, but it can also completely mangle acoustic sources.

mixBase is version control for your music. Every time you bounce a mix, upload it: mixBase keeps every version of every track, from the first rough to the final master, so you can hear how far a song has come and never lose a good take again. TRACK EVERY VERSION Each upload becomes the next numbered mix of its project. Label it (rough mix, mix 2, final master), move it from Mix to Master to Released, add private notes and a change log, and jump back to any earlier version at any time. LISTEN ANYWHERE A full-screen player with artwork, scrubbing, a queue, shuffle and repeat, lock-screen and Control Center controls, AirPlay, and a Now Playing widget for your home screen. SHARE FOR FEEDBACK Send a private listening link for any mix. Collaborators open it in a browser, no account required, and leave comments pinned to the exact moment they mean. Their notes show up on that mix in the app. MASTER CHECK Measure the loudness of your latest mix (LUFS and peak) right on your phone and get limiter and chain recommendations before you send it off. RUN YOUR RELEASE PIPELINE Add a release and check off every milestone: mixing done, mastering done, artwork ready, submitted to DSPs, social posts out, press release sent.
