ProRemote is the World's first 32 channel touch sensitive control surface that fits in the palm of your hand. ProRemote allows you to control your Audio applications wirelessly using your existing Wi-Fi network. Get realtime meter data and control your rig from across the room with flying faders! One binary runs on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch! ProRemote LE and ProRemote are now identical apps! - Are you behind the drums and need to check your levels and press record? - Do you frequently need to be in two places at the same time? - Do you like sitting on the couch and playing guitar instead of being glued to the computer? ProRemote is your solution! ProRemote is free to try or you can subscribe to all the features or just a subset. If you only need basic control, just the transport subscription can be added. Or have a look at ProTransport, an inexpensive "transport only" solution for controlling your rig. ProRemote on an iPad is like having four Mackie Control Universal Pros, but better because it's wireless and much less expensive. You get almost $4k of hardware for the price of ProRemote. And ProRemote also works on your iPhone and iPad, or both at the same time. Need an XY controller? Check out Pro XY. Use gravity to turn your knobs! Pro XY can also be unlocked in ProRemote. MIDI pads for drum programming or other tasks sounds nice, right? ProPads is your solution and can also be subscribed to within ProRemote. ProRemote also contains a virtual mouse and keyboard that allows full control of your audio machine for those hard to reach places! You can see and control your full computer from anywhere in your studio! This version officially supports: - ProTools - Apple Logic - Ableton Live - Soundtrack Pro - Digital Performer Unofficially we support (no skin or custom fader tapers, not all features may work): - Cubase - MIO Console - Sonar - Reaper - Reason - Vegas - FL Studio - Studio One - Audition - Tracktion - Final Cut Pro - Any audio software that supports Mackie Control protocol (or HUI protocol). ** You must download ProRemoteServer in order to use ProRemote. ** Please visit www.folabs.com/download.html to download the server. ProRemote is Mac only- Windows is unofficially supported via the new CoreMIDI feature that uses Apple CoreMIDI instead of our own protocol. Use rtpMIDI on Windows. CoreMIDI is not officially supported because it is buggy. ** PLEASE report bugs to us instead of leaving a bad review! ** Send a bug report to support@folabs.com and we will fix the bug ASAP as we work on the next release. We want this release to be as rock-solid as our last version so you can focus on making music. * Please note that certain Avid or Digidesign Ethernet based control surfaces can interfere with ProRemote's ability to control all 32 channels. In some cases ProTools will limit MIDI control surfaces to eight channels only. Please contact us before purchasing if you are unsure. * We will no longer support any iOS less than iOS 14 with this release. * For those users with older devices that cannot run iOS 14, just stay with the older version of ProRemote, it is still fully supported and can still be restored from the AppStore without problems. * Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

SA60 AUv3 plug-in — comes as time-limited Demo-version for you to try. It gives you 5 minutes of Free play time. (You can reload the SA60 AUv3 plug-in as many times as you want, thereby you get the Demo period again and again.) Unlimited version of SA60 AUv3 plug-in comes as In-App Purchase. Features: • Standalone and AUv3 plug-in; • Stereo (Mono), Mid or Side EQ modes; • Undo/Redo; • A/B comparison; • 2x/4x/8x Upsampling; • Macro controllers; • Built-in Gain Match; • Scalable GUI. Red Rock Sound SA60 real time 1/3 octave Spectrum Analyser combines ease of use, accuracy and versatility in one economical, reliable unit. Interface is modelled on classic DN60 spectrum analyser, originally developed in 1980. Control & Indicator Functions: • DISPLAY LEVELS — Relate to the Reference level, calibration of a display level is read from graticules on the left of the display window; • REFERENCE LEVEL — The absolute level to which display readings are relative, i.e. calibration, is given in dB; • OVERALL LEVEL — Calibration of the overall level is similary derived from graticule to the right of the display. Note: this graticule applies to the overall level only! • AVG/PK — Two leds indicate whether the display is Averaging or Peak-reading; • RESP. — Speed of display response is selectable: «1» — Fast, «2» — Medium, «3» — Slow (shown by three leds); • MODE — Controls the display mode: «L» — Left, «M» — Mid, «R» — Right. EQ302 is a 32 band equaliser offering 12 dB of cut or boost in 1/3 octave steps between the frequencies of 16 Hz and 20 kHz. The graphic equaliser is a vital component in any audio system. The entire signal passes through it and so any limitations imposed by the equaliser will compromise the performance of the whole system. For example, an indifferently designed equaliser may introduce severe phase distortion, noise and other anomalies related to centre frequency accuracy, filter shape and attenuation accuracy which may manifest themselves as an overall deterioration in the perceived sound quality of the system. Clearly, this is an unacceptable state of affairs, but fortunately your choice to utilise a Red Rock Sound EQ302 Graphic Equalizer will eliminate these problems, offering you unprecedented product performance coupled with the highest filter calibration and reliability standards in the industry. To use SA60 as a plug-in, you need an AUv3-compatible host app like GarageBand, Auria, AUM, Cubasis and more — SA60 will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins in the host app.
