BandCapture vs MS

BandCapture is the simplest way to record your band — one tap, up to 32 channels captured. Inspired by the live concert tapers of the 1970s, BandCapture makes it easy to capture and preserve live performances. Connect your iPhone to a USB audio interface or digital mixer and instantly turn rehearsals or live shows into multitrack recordings ready for mixing and release. No complicated setup. Just plug in and press record. --- AUTOMATIC CONNECTION BandCapture detects all available input channels from your connected USB audio device — no manual configuration required. Compatible with class-compliant USB mixers and interfaces, including Allen & Heath and other professional systems. --- ONE-TAP RECORDING Capture every channel simultaneously with a single tap. Each instrument and vocal is recorded cleanly to its own track. Supports high-quality 32-bit float recording at 48 kHz. --- DAW READY Export your recordings as multitrack WAV files and import them into your favorite DAW, including Pro Tools, Logic Pro, GarageBand, Ableton Live, Cubase, Reaper, FL Studio, LUNA, or Studio One. --- PERFECT FOR • Bands recording live shows • Studio tracking sessions • Rehearsals and practice • Songwriters and producers • Live sound engineers • Music venues --- Stop losing great performances. BandCapture lets you focus on playing while it handles the recording. --- IMPORTANT NOTES • A USB-C iPhone is recommended for high channel-count recording (up to 32 inputs) • Multitrack recordings require significant storage space; ensure sufficient free storage before recording • Requires a class-compliant USB audio interface or digital mixer

MS-12 is a 16-pad sampler and step sequencer built around the sound of classic 12-bit hardware. Sample anything through the microphone, trim it, and play it straight from the pads. The sample rate and bit depth engine gives you the gritty, saturated character early digital samplers were loved for — not a filter placed on top, but the sound of the conversion itself. SAMPLING • Record from the built-in mic, a USB or Lightning interface, or line input • Resample the app's own output to bounce layers down • Threshold recording starts the moment sound arrives • Stereo or mono (L/R) capture SOUND • Adjustable sample rate (8–44.1 kHz) and bit depth (4–32 bit) • Presets for classic 12-bit voicings • Ring modulator, compressor, punch and saturation per pad EDITING • Trim, fade in and out, normalize, reverse, gain, silence • Time stretch • Auto slice by transient detection, or set slice points live with the pads • Split a stereo sample into separate mono left and right samples SEQUENCER • Step sequencer with velocity and tune per step • Real-time recording with selectable quantize • Up to 4 bars per pattern • Note Repeat • Song Mode chains patterns into a full track PLAYBACK AND MIXING • Volume and pan per pad, mute and solo • Mute groups so pads cut each other off, like a real drum machine • Pad Link to trigger several pads at once • Multi Level and Multi Pitch to spread one sample across the grid • 13 effects: tape echo, delay, reverb, chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo/pan, distortion, overdrive, fuzz, wah, isolator and a 4-band EQ EXPORT • Bounce a pattern to a WAV file • Save projects on the device and reopen them later FREE VERSION MS-12 is free to try, and the sound engine is not held back — nothing about the audio is degraded in the free version.
