lo vs R128x Loudness Measuring Tool

"LO‑FI‑AF is a very capable lo‑fi toolkit capable of surgically targeted destruction and it could easily find applications in just about any musical genre" -SoundOnSound Unfiltered Audio's lo-fi-af is now available on iOS as a Standalone app or AUv3 plugin! lo-fi-af takes your sound on a journey of artifacts and noise throughout recorded history, from tape warbles and vinyl noise to MP3 chirps and cell phone speaker chatter. lo-fi-af's many sections and versatile algorithms can place your sound in a different decade, or give it a thoroughly modern spin through compound processing. The first section is a convolution reverb preloaded with impulse responses from broken microphones, toy speakers, cell phones, and more. With this section alone, you can place your sound into an entirely different space. The Spectral section then splits your sound into thousands of frequencies before reconstructing it with a twist. Here you can reproduce the sound of a pirated MP3 or pitch shift your signal with clean perfection. Your signal then takes a trip through the digital section. All sorts of hazards are present here, from a skipping CD stutter effect to a multimode bitcrusher. Finally, the rich, colorful analog section adds that vibe that you crave. A maximizer, a tape saturator, a noise generator, an analog-style filter, a pitch warbler, and a radio demodulator all work together in harmony to toss your sound into the past. But wait! That's only one possible signal chain. The Convolution, Spectral, Digital, and Analog sections can be completely rearranged in any order. Dozens of presets will get your started on your sound warping adventure. As an AUv3 plugin, lo-fi-af has been tested to work perfectly with Garageband, Drambo, AUM, Cubasis, Beatmaker, Nanostudio, apeMatrix, Loopy Pro, and more! Additionally, with its clear layout and smart resizing, lo-fi-af can be used on tablets and phones with ease. (Note for Drambo users: Drambo does not yet have automatic Plugin Delay Compensation for managing plugins with latency. As a result, tracks with lo-fi-af will not line up properly with other tracks. An upcoming patch for Drambo will add this feature in.)

r128x is a utility app for batch-measuring loudness of audio files which formats are supported* by the current version of the CoreAudio framework shipped in macOS and iOS. This is a useful utility in audio production industry. Some scenarios for example: - If you are a MIDI composer asking for someone else to help you mix the tracks, you need to make sure the loudness and the max dB-to-top of all tracks are in the safe range. - Mastering engineers can use this tool to see whether an album shares the same loudness range among all of its tracks. - Especially, this app allows you to immediately audition the 3-second part around the first dBTP location by tapping / clicking a measured track. You may also use the up / down arrow key on your keyboard to navigate among measured tracks and hit the space key to do the same audition action. P.S.: The supported formats include MOV, MP4, MP3, MP2, M4A (iTunes Plus), WAV, AIF, OGG, AIFF, CAF, ALAC, SD2, AC3, FLAC. The App Store version of this app charge fees as a compensation to the cost of the Apple Developer Program fee. Individuals who disagree with this can use Xcode to build the app by themselves using the code repository of this app (released for free under GPLv3 license): https://github.com/ShikiSuen/r128x Following 3rd-party open-source components are used in this app: https://github.com/jiixyj/libebur128 P.S.: The Japanese and Chinese titles of the app are "百二十八禁", but this is an all-ages app.
