CueMix Pro vs FreezeSlice

CueMix Pro™ provides fast and easy access to all of the settings and features in a MOTU 16A, 848 or 10pre Thunderbolt/USB audio interface from your iPhone or iPad. Use the Discovery tab to select any available 16A, 848 or 10pre device to control. It could be connected directly to your iOS device or connected to a Mac or PC on the same network as your iOS device. Use CueMix Pro’s Home tab to control the headphone volume or monitor volume, choose outputs for the Monitor Group, and control the Talkback feature. Use the Inputs and Outputs tabs to adjust analog input and output levels with trim or boost. In the Outputs tab, you can control the device’s A/B/C monitor switching feature, which lets you compare your DAW mix on up to three different sets of monitors. Using intuitive, virtual patch cords in the Patchbay tab, or the comprehensive Routing tab, you can easily route any source signal to any destination. You can even split any source to multiple destinations. The Patchbay also lets you route up to 128 channels of audio to and from an AVB network connected to the network ports.

FreezeSlice turns any sound into an endless, playable drone. Strum a chord, play a keyboard voicing or sing a note, tap ADD, and FreezeSlice holds it at its original pitch for as long as you like. Then chop it in time with your song, color it, spread it across the stereo field, and save it to pads you can fire during a performance. FreezeSlice is an AUv3 audio effect built for live looping and performance. Load it on any channel in your favorite AUv3 host.
