·0 comments·

Ok then … One cat is out of the bag. It seems one of the two new products from IK Multimedia will be Sampletank for your iPad/iPhone. The funny thing is that IK leaked this news themselves. The guys from AudioFanzine spotted the Sampletank app on the iPhone that was attached to the new iKlip Mini, released this past week. iKlip MINI is a universal microphone stand adapter for the iPhone® and iPod touch® to support your iOS device on stage, in the studio, at school or in the office. iKlip MINI securely supports your iPhone/iPod touch on any standard mic stand, pole or tripod (with diameters ranging from 11 – 20 mm /.43” – .79”) placed on the floor or tabletop.

Forge Audio Designs BEAT to MIDI Available Now

·0 comments·

BEAT to MIDI is a fast acting, low overhead Beat Detection and Drum Replacement tool which producers and musicians can implement to extract MIDI data from Drum loops. BEAT to MIDI allows for the correction of poorly captured or performed drum recordings after the recording session has taken place. BEAT to MIDI uses sophisticated algorithms to identify each drum hit (or transient) in the time domain. Once this point is detected, MIDI data can be used to trigger replacement drum samples to alleviate poor quality recordings and/or timing errors.
