Fields vs PHASE Connect

Fields is a portable field recording app for capturing, organizing, and editing sounds in one place. Record sounds wherever you are, organize them with photos, notes, and locations, and edit your recordings directly in the app. Capture new material with the built in microphone or an external audio interface, import existing audio files, and keep everything organized in one place. Fields includes useful editing tools such as cut, copy, crop, reverse, fades, gain, normalize, filter, pitch, speed, trim silence, and noise reduction. A pre roll buffer helps you save sounds that happened just before you pressed Record, while automatic location tagging and the built in map make it easy to remember where each recording was captured. Your recordings belong to you. Fields requires no account, uses no tracking, and lets you choose between iCloud and Local Storage.

PHASE Connect is the phone companion to PHASE, the TrevBeats Multimedia DAW for Mac - and a full pocket studio on its own. Run your Mac session from across the room, or make a whole beat on the phone and send it to PHASE when you get home. THE STUDIO - ONE SCREEN The recorder and the instruments are the same screen. One counter and one transport across the top - REC, PLAY, STOP, back to the top, and the click - then a single switch: TRACKS for the timeline, PLAY for the instrument. The lane you pick is the lane the keyboard plays, so you pick it once. Everything that isn't "make a sound" or "capture it" sits in two bars along the bottom, and each one reads out where you stand before you ever tap it - TRACK for the instrument, input, FX, quantize and pocket; SESSION for tempo, count-in, record mode and the mix. 8 audio + 8 MIDI tracks, growing to 16 + 16, no Mac required. ARM and REC with a count-in, overdub or replace, quantize with TIGHT or SOFT feel, and the POCKET - push or drag a track off the grid so the beat breathes. THE INSTRUMENTS THUMP bass, FINGAZ keys, TWANG guitars, TRAPS drums and FLIP the sampler, across eight MIDI tracks. Ember-lit pads on a charcoal deck that compress and glow on the hit, with the closed hat choking the open hat like real hardware - or a keyboard that got bigger when the duplicate controls went away. Play the pads, the keys, or any Bluetooth / USB-C MIDI controller. THE TREVBEATS KIT The stock kit is the TREVBEATS KIT - 16 signature drum sounds on the pads - plus three more built in: PHASE 808, PHASE LOFI and PHASE ACOUSTIC. Step through kits from the kit bar, trim any pad, save your own. SET TEMPO FROM THIS TAKE A performance is almost never at a whole number. Tell PHASE Connect how many bars your take is and it sets the session tempo to the take's own tempo, to the hundredth of a BPM - so the click lands on the groove instead of walking off it a little more every bar. Tempo nudges in hundredths too. MIX - THE DESK IN YOUR POCKET Tap the AUDIO and MIDI bank chips to pull up every strip - faders, pan, mute/solo, three FX slots (comp, reverb, tempo-synced delay), live meters, and a MASTER with a safety limiter. STEMMINGWAY LITE exports a MIXDOWN or full STEMS in 24-bit/48k WAV, and SEND TO PHASE packs the whole session for the Mac. CONSOLE - RUN PHASE FROM YOUR PHONE Pair once with a six-digit code (Wi-Fi, or USB-C hotspot when Wi-Fi is flaky). Tape-style transport, bars/timecode, loop, click, count-in, tap tempo, undo/redo, save - plus banks of mixer strips with faders, pan, mute, solo, arm, and live meters. MIC THE KIT Turn the phone into a drum mic rig - room, overhead, kick - and fly real drums into the session. Everything lands where you can see it, and everything travels to PHASE untouched. Made by TrevBeats Multimedia. PHASE CHART MAKR The band's charts, on your phone. Seven charts off one arrangement, drawn by the same engraver PHASE uses on the Mac: - ROAD MAP: the form, bar counts and cues. Free. - CHORD CHART: chord symbols over rhythm slashes. - NASHVILLE NUMBERS: the same chart in numbers, so it transposes to any key. - DRUM CHART: the groove written once, then only what changes. - BASS PART: real notation, because an 808 line is composed. - SAMPLE CHOP CHART: for plugins where one key fires a whole phrase. The sample name sits where a chord symbol would. - MD CHART: every part braced on one page, barlines running through the band. Two ways in. Link to PHASE and GET FROM PHASE hands you the chart for the session that's open. Or PLAY IN: pick DRUMS, BASS, KEYS or GUITAR, set a count-in, tap REC and play the part on the phone against the click, then BUILD CHART turns what you played into the chart. No Mac needed. Charts stay on the phone, so they work at rehearsal with the Mac switched off. The ROAD MAP is free; the six notated charts and PLAY IN are a single in-app purchase, no subscription.
