Meow | Audio Editor vs RingsFX

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.

RingsFX is an AUv3 plugin based on the famous Mutable Instruments Rings, one of the most dedicated and fully-featured Physical Modeling Eurorack modules ever created. At its core is a resonator that needs to be 'excited' or 'strummed' by MIDI input, noise, or external audio excitation. RingsFX emulates vibrations of structures simulated by 3 different synthesis techniques that can be plucked or process external signals: Modal Synthesis, Sympathetic Strings, and Inharmonic Strings. Traditionally, Rings was only monophonic but used a unique approach to polyphony that allowed the previous note to 'ring' out and decay while a new note was played. Rings FX provides these same modes (Mono, Duo, and Quad), but expands it with a true Polyphonic mode. RingsFX also expands the capabilities of the original engine by adding support for velocity sensitivity and MIDI MPE mode. The new polyphonic mode allows RingsFX to play up to 12 notes of true polyphony, depending on the settings. Doing so requires RingsFX to use multiple Rings resonators, but the more true polyphony you use, the more processing power it requires. Running in the traditional Monophonic, Duophonic, or Quadrophonic modes may be preferred in order to keep CPU usage under control. RingsFX has 7 modes in total, by combining the 3 basic modes with additional properties such as chords or specially tuned reverbs. The original hardware also had a secret 'Easter Egg' mode, which in RingsFX is simply calling 'Synthesizer' mode, rumoured to be based on one of the early Korg synthesis methods. This mode supported a number of mutable effects which now work on in all resonator modes. RingsFX also has a Mod-Matrix which allows you to combine the built-in LFOs and FEGs to great effect by manipulating parameters and mutable effects in realtime. Finally, RingsFX can be loaded as an AUv3 effect plugin. Set the Exciter Source to 'INPUT', and you can pass any audio through RingsFX and use this audio as an external exciter. For example, it can be used to great affect on a drum beat to create some crazy rhythms. Use the Output Mix to combine the original audio with the synthesised resonator output to create some stunning effects.
