Weeping Wall vs Meow | Audio Editor

Weeping Wall is a standalone app and AUv3 plug-in. WW is a set of microloopers that automatically record based on input detection. Each new sound will be smoothly introduced and replace older sounds, resulting in a group of sounds that always reflect the most recent input. Each looper behaves independently - their size can vary and they will beat against each other as they phase. Up to 5 loopers are available to record into, with repitching and reverse controls as well. A dedicated “jitter” control allows you to randomly vary the size of each looper on each loop, creating variations that will never be heard again. Weeping Wall can be used as an effect directly on a track, or as a send effect. WW is intended to be a modular tool; it doesn’t include reverb, EQ, saturation, flutter, etc., but it plays extremely well with them. WW is a brand new effect that can be used in any number of creative ways - you can place it fully wet in front of a reverb, place a hint of it behind a saturator, combine it with your favorite pitch modulation - whatever you can dream. WW is fully compatible with automation and modulators such as Ableton CV to broaden the horizons even further. Weeping Wall has the following controls available: Threshold: The volume at which input will start recording into a looper. Looper size: The size of loopers, in seconds, from 0.1s to 3s. Jitter: A control for desynchronizing loops. Loops will be randomly shortened, and each one is free to change size independent of one another. Semitones: Repitch loops, with a range of +/- one octave. Reverse: A latching control to reverse looper playback. Looper number: Up to five loopers are available. Hold time: How long loops will be held before fading away, from seconds to forever. This essentially controls whether WW functions more as a looper or as a delay. Independent dry and wet volumes: Use WW as an effect directly on your track, or as a send effect. Beat syncing: Loopers can be synced to your tempo, from 1 whole measure to 1/64th notes. Macro-looper mode: Loops can grow to up to 60 seconds in length. Transport syncing: Loopers can be paused or destroyed on pause. Live performance mode: Enables a button-based UI designed with live performance in mind. Random skip: Loops can be randomly skipped over with some probability. Crossfade length: Control the length of the crossfade occurring at the start/end of each loop to keep sharper transients or smooth them off. Fade time: Control how long loops take to fade in/out. Filters: The wet channel can be high or low pass filtered for dialing in your sound.

Meow is a fast and efficient audio and sample editor for quickly and easily getting general everyday audio and sample editing duties done. It does not have a huge amount of features, but instead focuses on a fast, effective workflow and user interface. IMPORTANT: Meow is free to try so you can see if the app suits your needs. However, to enable saving or sharing edited audio, a one-time In-App Purchase (IAP) is required. KEY FEATURES: - Fast, smart and efficient navigation and selection with optional snapping to zero crossings - Undo and Redo (number of steps depends on file size) - Automatic Crossfades (adjustable length) for most editing operations - Interactive adjustable fade-in / fade-out points with various curve shapes - Interactive loop cross-fade for creating seamless loops - Nudging and manual entry of selection start / end or playhead for fine control - Touch and mouse input fully supported - Extensive hardware keyboard support with keyboard shortcuts including in-app reference - Smart AutoZoom to reduce the need for manual panning / zooming - Clipboard with automatic resampling and rechanneling - Tempo and time signature support for editing and snapping to bars or beats, with automatic calculation from selection - Resampling between any two supported sample rates (see below) - In-App Recording from the device microphone with optional auto-normalize. Recording from external audio interfaces and in stereo is currently not guaranteed to work with all interfaces. Compatibility will be vastly improved in a future update. - Sample-accurate editing and playback exactly according to selection - Seamless and sample-accurate looping playback of selection SAMPLE PROCESSING: - Editing: Trim, Cut, Copy, Paste (Insert / Mix / Replace) - Processing: Gain, Normalize, Silence, Reverse, Invert - Filters (with live preview): Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass, Notch - EQ (with live preview): Peaking, Low Shelf, High Shelf, 10-Band Graphic EQ - Channels: Make Mono / Make Stereo / Swap - 3-Band Noise Reduction - Supported sample rates: 96000, 48000, 44100, 22050, 11025, and 8000 Hz - All processing done in 32-bit floating point IMPORT: - Supported formats: WAV, MP3, AIFF, MP4, AAC, ALAC (Apple Lossless). Note that very long audio files (> 20 minutes) are not supported. - Import via Files, Drag & Drop, or "Open In" - Dropped files can be merged into existing audio (Insert / Mix / Replace) EXPORT: - Export to Files or Share directly from the app - Supported formats: WAV (16-bit / 24-bit / 32-bit float), MP3 (adjustable bitrate) LIMITATIONS: - Editing very long audio files (> 20 minutes) may cause instability and limited Undo functionality, as all processing happens in memory (RAM). - Editing very large files can result in slowdowns.
