About

Tailsync

Features
Read full description

Make your reverb groove with your music. When your reverb tail matches your track's tempo, the decay fades naturally between beats. This creates a cleaner, more cohesive mix where the reverb enhances the rhythm instead of fighting it. Tailsync calculates pre-delay and decay times instantly based on your BPM and desired room size. Just copy the values into your reverb plugin. FEATURES - Instant tempo-synced calculations - 5 reverb sizes from tight to hall - One-tap copy to clipboard - Beautiful, minimalist interface - Haptic feedback - Works completely offline PRO TIP With iCloud Universal Clipboard enabled, tap any value on your iPhone and paste it directly into your DAW on Mac. No typing required. Perfect for music producers, mix engineers, and sound designers who want their reverb to feel musical, not random. Made with care by AKER.

About

Music Gear Notes

Features
Read full description

Music Gear Notes is a flexible note-taking app designed for musicians, producers, and sound designers who need an easy way to remember and recall hardware settings. It helps you document presets, patches, and configurations for synthesizers, guitar pedals, pedalboards, loopers, amplifiers, and other musical gear β€” especially vintage or hardware devices that don’t support text-based preset names. Instead of cryptic numbers or memory slots, you can give every configuration a name, add text notes, and attach multiple photos. This makes it easy to remember how a sound was created, whether you are in the studio or preparing for a live performance. Music Gear Notes is built around a clear structure that matches real-world music workflows: Β· Devices – synthesizers, pedals, loopers, racks, amplifiers, or any musical equipment Β· Banks (optional) – groups of presets or memory banks Β· Slots – the main unit where you store: Β· a title and slot number Β· text notes Β· multiple images (knob positions, pedal settings, setups) Music Gear Notes is ideal for: Β· Synthesizers with numeric or limited preset displays Β· Guitar pedals and pedalboards Β· Loopers with numbered memory slots Β· Amplifier and effects settings per song Β· Recording sessions and parameter recall Β· Producers using external hardware and racks Unlike generic notebook apps, Music Gear Notes is purpose-built for musicians. The device, bank, and slot structure makes it easy to organize complex setups and quickly find the sound you are looking for. Think of it as a visual notebook for your music gear β€” always ready when you need to recreate a sound.
