IK Multimedia announces iRig HD 2 - the iPhone 7 ready, pro-quality digital guitar interface for iPhone, iPad, Mac & PC

iRig HD 2 provides plug & play simplicity with 96kHz sound, integrated headphone output, a 1/4" amp out with dual mode switch, plus full AmpliTube versions and more

September 15, 2016 - IK Multimedia, the pioneer and leader of the mobile music revolution, is pleased to announce iRig HD 2 — the sequel to the best-selling, wildly popular iRig HD digital guitar interface for iPhone, iPad, Mac & PC. The iRig HD 2 raises the bar for guitarists and bassists to play, perform and record with their device at a higher level either while on the go or in their studio.

24-bit/96kHz pristine noiseless sound

First and foremost, iRig HD 2 gives players superior sound quality in a compact, mobile interface.  It features 24-bit analog-to-digital conversion and a best-in-class 96kHz sample rate that delivers an ultra clean, pure noiseless guitar signal to devices and computers. It features an input gain control for dialing in just the right amount of signal for playing and recording and a multicolor LED indicator for precise signal monitoring.

Integrated headphone output, iPhone 7 ready

iRig HD 2 includes a Lightning cable to connect directly to your iPhone and features an integrated headphone output jack with a preamp and level control. For newer devices like the iPhone 7 without a dedicated headphone output, this lets players use their existing headphones to monitor their playing and recording, or for just listening to music.  The output features a high-quality headphone preamp with a volume control that delivers the full, rich complete audio content.

Amp Out with dual mode switch 

iRig HD 2 also sports a new Amp Out jack that lets players use their iPhone, iPad, Mac or PC live on stage with a traditional guitar amplifier without the need for special adapters — a standard ¼” instrument cable is all that is needed to make the connection. This output is controlled by a new FX/Thru switch that lets users choose what type of signal is sent — FX sends the processed signal coming from the device, while Thru sends an unprocessed direct signal for using a tuner or in-line recording of the dry signal. iRig HD 2 also comes with a mic stand mounting bracket and Velcro® strip for convenient attachment to a mic stand on stage for live performance.

Full AmpliTube included

iRig HD 2 owners also receive free downloads of the full versions of the ultimate guitar and bass tone and recording studio - AmpliTube 4 for Mac/PC (a $/€149.99 value) and AmpliTube for iPhone and iPad (a $/€19.99 value for each).  With AmpliTube, guitar and bass players will have access to a whole new universe of gear: stompboxes, amps, cabinets, microphones, speakers, rack effects and more, all on their computer or mobile device. All versions of AmpliTube are expandable with gear from some of the top manufacturers in the industry like Fender®, Orange®, MESA/Boogie®, Ampeg®, T-Rex®, Fulltone®, Seymour Duncan® and more.

Pricing and availability

iRig HD 2 is available now for pre-order from IK Retailers worldwide or from the online IK store for only $/€99.99*. iRig HD 2 will be available and shipping late September, 2016.

Once players register their iRig HD 2, they can download the full version of AmpliTube 4 for Mac/PC from their user area on the IK web site.  Users should install the Free versions of AmpliTube for iPhone and iPad from the App Store, and once the iRig HD 2 is registered and plugged in, they can “restore purchases” and the full version features of both will be available.

For long playing sessions, iRig HD 2 is compatible with iRig PowerBridge ($/€ 69.99) which keeps the iOS device charged while playing, as well as other IK accessories to complete a live guitar set up like the iRig BlueBoard wireless pedal board ($/€99.99), and the iKlip range of mic stand holders for iPhone and iPad (starting at $/€ 39.99).

Lurssen Mastering Console for Mac/PC and iOS adds "Digital Delivery Mastering" feature in latest update

Lurssen Mastering Console for Mac/PC and iOS now lets musicians create "Mastered for iTunes®" specification compliant audio masters for digital distribution services like iTunes®, Spotify®, Pandora® and more

September 1, 2016 - IK Multimedia, the leader in mobile music creation, is pleased to announce an update to Lurssen Mastering Console for Mac/PC and iOS that adds "Digital Delivery Mastering" - a feature that lets musicians and audio engineers prepare their mastered audio files for popular digital distribution services to comply with Apple's "Mastered for iTunes" specifications. The update is complimentary for current owners of Lurssen Mastering Console for Mac/PC, and is an included feature in the HD engine in-app purchase in the iOS release. Five new style presets for Hard Rock/Heavy Metal music are also included in this update.

Digital Delivery Mastering - "Mastered for iTunes"

For musicians and engineers mastering music for digital distribution and streaming services like iTunes, Pandora and Spotify, Lurssen Mastering Console now ensures their music is compliant with Apple's Mastered for iTunes specification - an industry first. Lurssen Mastering Console's new Digital Delivery Mastering (DDM) feature provides mastered audio files that comply with specifications for sample rate, bit depth and peak levels, ensuring that audio translates perfectly for compressed formats like AAC.

Apple's Mastered for iTunes specifications states that files have to comply with high-resolution sample rate and bit depth requirements and that no clipping at or over 0.0dBFS should be present in the digital masters being submitted. As the tendency in contemporary digital music production is to go for super loud masters, distortion can be created as a by-product of extreme use of digital peak limiters pushing up the level. Even though the file's maximum peak level is not exceeding 0.0 dBFS, digital overshoots can still occur when the file is de-compressed back to PCM format for playback.

This is where the new Digital Delivery Mastering option for Lurssen Mastering Console comes in. It offers an additional layer of protection against peak overshoots that could be generated when decoding the compressed format for playback. This can cause clips that may go unnoticed while mixing and mastering with regular sample peak meters. The additional layer of protection is achieved by the peak limiter at the end of the mastering chain working in a specific way. This guarantees that the compressed file is safe from distortion when played back from digital distribution services such as Apple's iTunes, Spotify and Pandora.

The Digital Delivery Mastering option is part of the HD Engine in-app purchase, and can be enabled independently from the HD Engine in the settings menu. It is also included in the free update for Mac/PC users.

Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Style presets

Lurssen Mastering Console provides mind-blowing results in record time through an intuitive set of controls and settings. "Styles" presets created by Gavin Lurssen, Reuben Cohen and the team at Lurssen Mastering, Inc., define the gear chain and provide the settings for virtually every genre including Rock, Country, Americana, Pop, EDM and more. In this new release, five new styles have been added for creating Hard Rock/Heavy Metal mastered files. With these additional presets, users can now find a mastering starting point for virtually every style and genre of music.

BAE Audio G10 EQ Graphic EQ Delivers Analog Versatility in the Studio

10-Band Equalizer with Balanced Input and Output and Hi/Low-Pass Filters Is the Ultimate Hands-On Sound Shaping Tool for Tracking, Mixing, or Mastering

Hollywood, Calif., June 28, 2016 – Premium analogue gear manufacturer BAE Audio announced that its new G10 equalizer is shipping in July. The unit, first unveiled at the 139^th AES Convention, combines a punchy, transformer-based signal path with the versatile 10-band graphic EQ configuration and 2520-style discrete op-amps — making it ideal for tweaking drum or guitar sounds, or even processing an entire mix. It is available as a 500 series unit, further expanding BAE Audio’s significant offerings in this popular and economical format.

10 Bands of Analog Goodness
With 10 carefully selected bands offering up to 12 dB of boost or cut on tap, the G10 offers a level of tone sculpting that can help any audio sit perfectly in the mix. The easy-to-use slider-based interface helps users intuitively visualize the EQ curves they are applying. Switchable high-pass and low-pass filters, tuned at 80 Hz and 12 kHz respectively, help make the G10 a truly complete sound shaping solution.

“We had been asked by many of our customers to put our spin on the 10-band graphic EQ,” says BAE Audio CEO Mark Loughman. “In keeping with our pedigree, we did it with superior components and build quality and combined that with an innovative implementation of input and output transformers in the path. As a result, the G10 is a versatile EQ that can do wonders to enhance your sound during tracking, mixing, or mastering.”

Unique Signal Path
The BAE Audio G10 implements an op-amp like those used in well-loved ‘70s American boards. Unlike some other 10-band equalizers presently on the market, the G10 includes balanced input and output. The G10 also features input and output transformers that imbue any audio passing through it with a unique tonal character.
“The transformers give the G10 an incredibly tight sound that has plenty of punch without harshness,” Loughman says. “It has a color and personality to it all its own and provides a nice counterpoint to the British-designed BAE EQs that you probably already have in your lunchbox.”

The G10 will begin shipping in mid-July and is available through authorized BAE Audio dealers. For more information and a list of authorized dealers, please visit http://www.baeaudio.com/

IK Multimedia releases VocaLive 3 for iPhone and iPad - adds Mic Room, 4-track looper, simultaneous multi-track recording

IK Multimedia, the leader in mobile music making software, apps and accessories, is proud to announce VocaLive 3, a major update to the professional, full-featured vocal effects and production suite for iPhone and iPad.  VocaLive 3 gives vocalists the effects and tools they need to create and perform stunning vocals for live settings and for recordings on-the-go, at any time, anywhere.

VocaLive 3 is a complete Vocal effects processing and recording suite that lets vocalists create stunning vocal tracks on their iPhone or iPad.  It features 5 vocal effects - Pitch Fix, Choir, Morph, De-esser, and Doubler, plus 7 utility studio effects - Reverb, Delay, Parametric EQ, Compressor, Chorus, Phazer and Envelope Filter. Users can add up to 4 effects in the processor chain and use their iPhone or iPad to perform live or record with its integrated, expanded Recorder/DAW. VocaLive is designed for use with IK's extensive iRig line of digital and analog microphones, and audio interfaces, including: iRig Mic Studio, iRig Mic HD, iRig PRO and iRig Pro DUO.

New available features in VocaLive 3 include: IK's Mic Room microphone modeling technology*, an integrated 4-track looper*, and the ability to record up to 8 audio tracks simultaneously*, plus one additional effects slot in the iPhone version.

Mic Room - a microphone choice for every voice
VocaLive 3 has a new available "Mic Room" - microphone modeling feature that lets users choose from 20 different studio microphone emulations and add the sound and coloration of some of the recording world's most coveted microphones. Musicians, broadcasters and engineers simply select which input microphone they're using, and then choose the microphone model they want it to sound like in VocaLive 3. Vocal tracks previously recorded in the recorder may also be "re-miked" to achieve a more perfected or specific sound. Mic Room features the definitive collection of vintage and modern dynamic, condenser, ribbon and specialty microphones.

Loop in creativity
VocaLive 3 also features a new available 4-track looper.  The looper is extremely intuitive to use and may be activated and controlled via any iOS compatible MIDI controller, like IK's iRig BlueBoard Bluetooth wireless pedalboard, iRig Pads, or any standard MIDI controller connected via iRig MIDI 2. Users simply activate the first loop channel and perform, then hit stop when finished to set the loop length. Additional vocal loops can be recorded and activated for the ultimate in creative vocal exploration and development of melody, harmony and lyrical concepts. Each "loop" channel features its own volume control for mixing, and loops can be exported for use in the DAW/Recorder or shared.

Simultaneous multi-track recording
Now users can enjoy up to 8 channels of simultaneous multi-track recording with the available built-in DAW-like mixer in VocaLive 3. The Recorder/Studio section provides users with an integrated comprehensive multi-track recording studio with all the features found in the most popular desktop setups.  Users have access to 8 tracks with Pan, level mute, solo, effects arm and record enable, dual sends per channel into a master effects section, DAW-style editing and waveform display. VocaLive allows musicians to create complete works of art without having to leave the app and disrupt the creative flow.

Reign with the chain
VocaLive 3 provides an array of utility and FX processing tools in the form of virtual stompboxes that can be set up in a chain of up to 4 slots in both the iPhone and iPad versions. Once the effects chain is defined, users can control effects with a MIDI controller like the iRig BlueBoard, and save their virtual setups and configurations as presets for easy recall on the fly.

Pricing and availability
VocaLive 3 for iPhone and iPad are now available from the App Store for just $19.99. Previous users of the full version of VocaLive may update to version 3 at no cost.

Native Instruments introduces REPLIKA XT

Native Instruments introduced REPLIKA XT – a creative multi-mode delay. The five deeply modeled delay modes span crisp digital repeats, analog warmth, and experimental textures. Additionally, seven effects and advanced options allow producer’s to add depth and width to their mixes with refined control. The plug-in is aimed at producer’s who need an easy-to-use, all-in-one studio delay for echoes, special effects, and production tricks. REPLIKA XT is available at the NI Online Shop. Registered owners of the original REPLIKA qualify for special upgrade pricing.

REPLIKA XT was inspired by some of the most revered delays in history. The plug-in features five delay modes, each with its own distinct character. Modern provides clean, precise, controllable repeats. Vintage Digital offers warm, repeats modeled after early samplers and digital delays. Analog replicates the sound of analog bucket-brigade pedals. Tape provides the punchy, smooth sound of classic tape echo units. Finally, Diffusion Mode provides swirling reverberant echoes unlike any physical space.

REPLIKA XT features a clear interface that makes even complex effects fast and easy to create. Pattern controls allow producers to create rhythmic repeats that shift organically with the music. Panning for each delay line as well as the dry signal allows a custom stereo image. The ducking feature keeps percussive hits tight while still adding space to a drum mix. Together, the controls on REPLIKA XT’s intuitive panel provide uncompromising control with a minimum of effect.

REPLIKA XT is available now at the NI Online Shop for $99 / 99 € / £89 / ¥ 12,800 / AU$ 149.

Registered owners of REPLIKA qualify for special upgrade pricing on REPLIKA XT. The upgrade from REPLIKA to REPLIKA XT is available at the NI Online Shop for $49 / 49 € / £44 / ¥ 6,280 / AU$ 79.

iZotope Launches VocalSynth for 'Outside the Vox' Vocal Experiences

New plug-in keeps producers on trend, providing transformative vocal effects in classic and new styles

Cambridge, MA (May 18, 2016) - Inspired by decades of iconic vocal effects, from Peter Frampton to Beastie Boys to Daft Punk, iZotope, Inc. today announced the release of VocalSynth, a new creative plug-in for music producers and sound designers in search of distinctive vocals.

 

 

  VocalSynth is the first ever plug-in to bring together four advanced vocal engines - Vocoder, Polyvoice, Compuvox, and Talkbox - alongside specialized vocal effects and pitch correction. This unique combination of tools opens up fresh potential for vocal transformation: the ability to blend the modules unlocks sounds that were previously impossible, and genre-based presets ensure that classic vocal sounds are just a click away.

StrangeLines - Streak FX

Good ideas often generate even greater ones: Streak FX is the audio effect derived from Streakulator, the popular midi-modulated audio effect by StrangeLines. It takes the original inspiration and becomes even easier to work with by shaping any sound or synth you put behind it in a whole new rich and complex one, all in a matter of seconds...!

Streak FX is a combination of a custom chorus/flanger engine combined with a bit crushing/distortion section, animated further by a gater effect (you can make it as large or tight as you want), finally falling into a "warp" effect, it that wasn't already enough.

StrangeLines - MouthBreather

" Isotonik Studios are proud to introduce StrangeLines to their collective and now bring you the first MaxforLive Device available from the isotonikstudios.com website…

Mouthbreather is simply the quickest way to add crunchyness, warmth or air to you sounds, to give your piece a more dirty/vintage flavor: the results are always high-quality, but they vary a lot according to the input sound, ranging from small vinyl crackles to huge distorted guitars, not mentioning the filthy dirty dubstep/dnb sounds you can get.

This is a secret weapon by us, both for workflow and sound design…

MouthBreather – £11.99

iZotope Brings Perpetual Motion to Music Production with Mobius Filter

New effect plug-in delivers energy and impact with infinitely ascending or descending filter sweeps

Cambridge, MA (March 29, 2015) - iZotope, Inc., makers of award-winning tools for audio production, is announcing the release of Mobius Filter, a new effect plug-in that creates the sensation of infinite movement. Based on the auditory illusion of the Shepard Tone, the filters within Mobius Filter appear to defy logic, producing perpetually rising or falling effects that can be easily manipulated with a playful X/Y pad. The ever-ascending or descending results bring impact to a track: as an intensifying build-up to a chorus or drop, or as a creative effect on individual tracks and instruments. Music producers can turn to Mobius Filter as an inspiring alternative to a standard flanger or phaser, as the antidote to a lackluster bridge or arrangement, or as the spark for psychotropic sonic textures.

PerforModule - Groovification 1

Groovification is a painstakingly created set of Ableton Live Groove Files, presented in a Live pack that installs directly into your browser for easy navigation, based around a trio of principles...

Mathematical Grooves 

These grooves work best when applied to clips with straight swing (notes are falling directly on beat intervals). They will then alter the groove in a unique manner, delaying some notes forward and some backward, with the distances based on the chosen mathematical number sequence.

BreakFill Grooves 

Use these clips to transform a “boring” clip into dynamic movements such as crescendos, swells, etc. They are organized by timing interval. In general, the idea is to apply these to clips which are “transitionary” — either for clips which will be triggered a single time before a drop, or for looping clips during a breakdown. Either way, they are ment for “transitionary” states.

Quantize Grooves 

And finally the Quantize Grooves will snap notes to the nearest selected timing interval. You can use them to quickly clean up imperfect timing (using the “global amount” parameter to set the correction amount). You can also experiment with imposing different quantizations upon audio quickly and easily. All without the need to painstakingly manually select notes or use undo actions to return to the original feel (as would be required if editing quatization in the clip note editor)

AudiOutlaw MINI's FX

The AudiOutlaws have done it again, taking everything that was great about the NoisR FX suite and chopping it up into pieces so that you can use as many of the individual FX in your set as you wish…

Filter – a smooth, multi-mode filter that can be modulated by an on-board cycling ADSR Auto-

Gate – an ADSR-shapeable tremolo-like effect which can operate at creepingly slow or lightning fast speeds.

Overdrive – a beefy saturation module that includes an auto-ducking feature which adjusts the overdrive level in response to transients. The auto-ducking sounds great and really smooths out the distortion.

Flange – Standard flange effect with a wide range of tempo-synced speeds for soaring phase effects or wobbly chorus-style sounds.

Ring Modulator – A pseudo-ringmod that uses a short delay with high feedback to produce a pitched ringing effect along with your sound input.

Pitch Shift – A simple pitch shifter with a mix knob for harmonies, a reset button and a pitch knob.

Echo – standard echo effect with optional reverse mode. Can be synced to master rate

Reverb – A huge, lush reverb with hipass and lopass filters, and a freeze button for infinite reverb

If you can't give a home to all of them, then grab what you want, one device at a time (there's a deal for grabbing the lot of course!).....

WARNING: For a LIMITED period the MINI's are a part of the NoisR FX Suite!  

NOISR FX £19.99 including MINI's

MINI's £9.99 for the full set or £2.99 Each....!
