About

Room Impulse Response

Analyze the acoustic properties of rooms and loudspeakers. Record impulses or swept sines to generate Impulse Responses (IRs) and visualize various acoustic metrics like RT60, EDT, and clarity. Perform spectral analysis with FFT for detailed sound decay visualization.

Highlights
  • Record impulse or swept sine
  • Generate Impulse Response (IR)
  • View ETC with RT60 cursors
  • Analyze Schroeder curve (EDT, T10, T20, T30)
  • Spectral analysis with FFT
  • 3D waterfall plot for sound decay

Room Impulse Response measures audio characteristics of a room or loudspeaker. Start by recording an impulse, such as a handclap or balloon pop, or record a swept sine and use the built-in deconvolution to create your Impulse Response (IR). Now, view the ETC, with RT60 decay cursors, apply windowing if you wish, or trim the IR. Next, see these other graphs: ** Impulse, where you can play back the actual IR ** ETC, which includes cursors to read out RT60 times directly, and allows pinch-zoom gesture for trimming the file. Apple a window, and see the effects of the window on the ETC plot. ** Schroeder curve, with EDT, T10, T20, and T30 markers And then see these charts, all in either in Octave or 1/3 Octave bands: ** T20 or T30 (RT60) times ** Reverb Early Decay Times (EDT) ** Clarity C50 ** Clarity C80 ** CT times ** Definition ** Signal / Noise And then you can also do spectral analysis, using our FFT, which can be windowed, for analyzing loudspeaker response without reflections, or see the 3D waterfall plot to view the decay of sound in the room by frequency, over time. Works great with the internal iOS device microphone, or attach or iTestMic or iAudioInterface2 for fully professional results. See the other great apps by Studio Six Digital, including AudioTools.

4-track sampler / sequencer Naive tracker is a modern, minimalistic implementation of the vertical sequencer concept known as "tracker", designed specifically for small screens with touch interface and optimized for a fast and easy workflow. - single screen editor: immediate access to everything - sleek monochrome UI - ready to use: comes with a collection of synthetic lo-fi and acoustic instrument samples - sample browser: load / play samples super fast from anywhere in the file system - record samples - sample editor: select, trim, normalise, reverse or draw the raw wave form - random: shuffle parameters for new inspriration - pattern list: switch patterns live, chain patterns in a loop or arrange a song - export / re-sample: save complete songs as wav file - Ableton Link: plays in sync with any Link enabled app/device The two-dimensional note editing with instant transpose function enables a clear and compact sequencer where everything happens in a single layer. Patterns can be selected manually, play as looped range or in linear order so that the pattern column is suited for live performance as well as song arrangement. The 16-step sequencer grid may be extended with meta step, variable track length or by looping a chain of patterns. Specs - 4 tracks - 16-step sequencer with variable track length - 8 samples, max. 2.7 sec. each - 16 patterns - 256 patterns song length Sequencer parameters - note value (octave / semitone) - pitch envelope - pitch LFO - AD / gate / D envelope - volume / panning - offset / loop length - filter high / low pass - meta (play steps conditionally) No in-app-purchases, no subscription, no ads, no AI.
