Appmuse

I just wanted to give my quick review..... features and functions and capabilities of the app are top notch. I don’t think there is anything that even comes close.... at least not that i have ever saw. My favorite thing is how often the app is updated and new modes, features, tests, and constant refinement happens. It obvious they care about the app and strive to be the best.... to me that means a lot! Show more

So far, I have only made use of the LARSA tool in this suite, but the attention to detail is very high, so I get the impression that everything in this suite of tools is just as good. The author, Andrew Smith, was also very responsive and helpful in email when I asked some usage questions. The LARSA tool is amazing. My goal was to find out if my car stereo had any need for EQ correction because I thought I could hear an unnatural peak at 1.5k. So I was able to pair my iPhone with the car stereo so that the LARSA app played a frequency sweep through the car speakers, while the app simultaneously listened to the resulting sweep with its internal mic, and then graphed it. Sure enough, there was the proof: a hump at 1.5k in the graph, about 8db’s worth. I could then easily make a parametric EQ correction of the exact amount, and now it sounds much better. I was able to do all this immediately without any special configuration, it just worked out of the box. The author has posted about how the app turns off some of the built in filtering and limiting on the iPhone’s internal mic so that it gets an accurate response. For adjusting my car stereo, this was enough for my needs, but it’s great to know that I could also attach a calibrated microphone and get and even more accurate result. The app lets you run multiple tests (up to 8 of them I think) and compare them or average them together. I used this to get multiple samples from different listening positions in the car. It also lets you save and recall multiple test runs, adjust for latency, and other things. Very feature-complete. Final note: the LARSA tool is among the “in-app-purchases”, so you will need to buy it separately, though it has a 7-day trial built in. I think you can also buy it “a la carte”, or with other bundles, in the App Store. Show more

I want to use a parametric eq to tune some monitors to flat, but this is not possible to verify in LARSA because Audiotools won't let me run it through the same EQ. The easiest way to do this would be to add audiobus support to Audiotools/LARSA. Then the signal sweep can get corrected by the same EQ I apply to other apps. Show more

30 plus years as a professional sound engineer, well versed in SMAART and TEF analysts. This is a very useful “On the Fly” APP!

I can’t get to step 1 with Audio Tools. The setup will not import my mic’s calibration txt file and the app keeps hasseling me to review it so 0 stars would be preferable but 1 is as close as I can get to that rating. It’s just a sales platform not a useful app as-is. You have to buy the add-ons to get actual useful data from it. Show more

Really wanted to like this app. I read about all these different tools it supports in the description, and decided to pull the trigger on the most expensive app purchase of my life. Twenty dollars. Turns out that this only gets you a couple of simple "tools", most of which are available for free through other apps. The kicker is that the useful tools can cost anywhere between 5 and TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS. Who do these guys think they are? It's absolutely insane. Not even those videogames with endless "microtransactions" are this much of a shameless money steal. When you pay twenty dollars for an app, it had better be good. It shouldn't just be a portal to dropping another absurd amount of money for basic functionality you would expect. Show more

I want the old fashion spl with the blue background back. They just took it out of nowhere. Not cool when that is the one you have always used. Otherwise great app. Show more

Excellent choice if you are considering an audio utility for your phone. AudioTools has a lot of in-depth and crucial features, and they are always working on it. -1 star because it is difficult to restore purchases. Show more

One of the best, and precise tool !

Pretty obviously designed by an engineer that has no user interface designer friends. I am not an audio expert, and the interface sure doesn’t help me understand the importance of what each knob and button does. Some target values for different situations or examples of good and bad graphs and why, to use as a benchmark would go a long way for a rookie. I don’t blame the developer for my lack of knowledge, but at the same time, intuitiveness is a big part of the apps useability. As far as actual performance and features, its great. Show more
