AE975 vs Sound Hunt

Give tracks presence without flattening the source. Add air, articulation, and density through a tuned parallel path. AE975 is an AUv3 audio effect for subtle polish, forward detail, and playable control. AE975 keeps the dry signal as the foundation, listens to a Focus-controlled sidechain, generates source-derived harmonic texture, and blends the result back in parallel. The goal is mix-ready lift without treating brightness like a simple EQ boost. Sound-shaping controls: - Focus sets the responsive region from 600 Hz to 6 kHz, with 3 kHz at center. - Enhance controls the parallel return depth. - Texture changes harmonic color and complexity. - Saturation adds intensity inside the enhancement generator, not as a full-band clipper. - Density moves from clean transient sparkle to smoother sustained glow. - Mix, Output, and Bypass make level-matched comparison simple. Built for DAW workflows: - Use AE975 as an audio effect in compatible AUv3 hosts. - Open the standalone companion host app to audition the processor with generated test audio, or compatible hardware I/O. - Browse 92 categorized factory presets for mastering, mixing, buses, vocals, guitars, bass, drums, synths, strings, brass, woodwinds, and sound design. - Save user presets locally and mirror them with iCloud preset sync. - Map hardware controllers with MIDI Learn, direct CC assignment, reset-to-default controls, and feedback broadcast support. Use it when a vocal needs to read forward, drums need more snap, guitars need pick detail, synths need shine, strings need rosin, buses need polish, or a master needs a controlled final lift.

Make an instrument from where you are. Sound Hunt turns nearby sounds into a playable drum kit. Knock on a table, click a pen, tap a cup, rustle some leaves. Collect a few recordings, choose the useful moments and start playing your own sounds. YOUR FIRST HUNT, STEP BY STEP Choose your surroundings and follow simple recording prompts. Sound Hunt finds events, trims quiet edges, suggests acoustic categories and helps select distinct variations. Listen, remove what you don’t want and fill your first nine pads. PLAY WHAT YOU FOUND Tap your pads and record a rhythm. Pause, resume and stop to save a performance as a stereo WAV. Set a tempo, use a count-in or metronome, and optionally snap saved timing to sixteenth notes. Play in portrait or landscape on iPhone and iPad.
