Audiolyze
Read full descriptionHide full description
Transform your iPhone or iPad into a professional audio analysis workstation. Audiolyze delivers real-time spectrum analysis, waterfall spectrograms, and oscilloscope visualization with the precision tools you need for sound engineering, acoustic analysis, and audio production. SPECTRUM ANALYZER Visualize audio frequencies in real-time with a high-resolution FFT spectrum analyzer. Choose from multiple display modes (dB, Amplitude, Power) and trace styles (smooth spline curves, linear, or classic bars). Switch between logarithmic and linear frequency scales, and select from multiple constant-Q resolutions for RTA analysis, from 1 octave down to 1/24 octave precision. WATERFALL SPECTROGRAM Track how your audio evolves over time with a scrolling 2D spectrogram display. Capture up to 20 seconds of frequency history to identify temporal patterns, transients, and spectral changes that a standard analyzer would miss. OSCILLOSCOPE Examine waveforms in the time domain with a responsive oscilloscope view. Multiple trigger modes (rising edge, falling edge, auto, free-run) help you capture stable waveforms, with adjustable amplitude scaling and trigger threshold controls. HARMONIC ANALYSIS Automatically detect and display harmonics with intelligent fundamental frequency tracking. View overtone relationships, cent deviations, and harmonic order labels overlaid directly on the spectrum — valuable for tuning, voicing, and timbre analysis. SPL REFERENCE LEVELS View relative sound pressure level readings with a built-in SPL meter. Calibrate against an external reference meter to align readings, with optional Z-weighting (flat response) or A-weighting (human hearing curve). Provided for reference and comparison; not a substitute for a certified, type-approved sound level meter. ADVANCED SIGNAL PROCESSING - Multiple FFT sizes (512 to 4096 samples) - Selectable window functions: Hann, Blackman-Harris, Flat-Top - Configurable frame overlap (0-75%) for improved averaging - Rolling window and exponential smoothing modes - High-pass and low-pass filters with adjustable slopes (6/12/18 dB per octave) CUSTOMIZE YOUR WORKFLOW - Peak hold display with decay - Snapshot comparison for before/after analysis - Visual glow effects for enhanced readability - Sparse or dense grid overlays - Save and recall custom presets for each visualization mode FOR SOUND ENGINEERS & MUSICIANS Whether you're a sound engineer tuning a PA system, a musician analyzing instrument tone, a podcaster optimizing room acoustics, or an audio enthusiast exploring the science of sound, Audiolyze provides the analytical depth you need in a beautiful, intuitive interface. EVERYTHING UNLOCKED Every feature is available from the moment you launch. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no paywalls, and no ads. Works on iPhone and iPad. Optimized for performance with GPU-accelerated Metal rendering. Available in 13 languages.

Crossover Designer is a professional tool for designing passive loudspeaker crossover networks. Whether you're building DIY speakers, upgrading an audio system, or designing professional loudspeakers, this app calculates the components required for accurate crossover performance. Create crossover networks for tweeters, midrange drivers, and woofers with support for multiple filter slopes and crossover frequencies. The app calculates inductors and capacitors based on speaker impedance and your selected crossover configuration. Ideal for audio engineers, speaker builders, hobbyists, electronics enthusiasts, and students. Key Features: • Design passive speaker crossovers • Support for 6dB, 12dB, 18dB, and 24dB per octave filters • Low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass calculations • 2-way and 3-way crossover network support • Calculate capacitor and inductor values instantly • Adjustable crossover frequency and speaker impedance • Metric and Imperial-friendly values • Fast, accurate, and easy-to-use interface • Suitable for DIY speakers, home audio, car audio, and professional sound systems Design efficient crossover networks with confidence using Crossover Designer. in-app purchase included Lifetime to Remove Ads Privacy Policy : https://semiconhub.in/manager/privacy.html Terms and Condition : https://semiconhub.in/manager/tcondition.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Audiolyze at none against Crossover Designer's 1. Crossover Designer's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
