11/11/2023 0 Comments Mastering twistedwave audiobookThis is one of those situations where there really is no one right way to do things. Some of them will look/act quite differently from what I am going to present here. Audio Mastering's waveform view, where you can add fade-ins and fade-outs, and set in and out points.Īlthough perhaps still regarded as a toy by some, the iPad is carving out a niche as a serious mobile music production platform with apps like Auria, the multitrack DAW, and supported by high-quality audio interfaces, as we've seen elsewhere in SOS.Before I begin, here’s a bit of a disclaimer… One piece missing from the jigsaw until now has been any facility for mastering, but this is addressed by Igor Vasiliev's new Audio Mastering app, which packs a surprising number of features into a relatively straightforward GUI. Harmonic saturator (with three sets of harmonics).Linear-phase 10-band graphic equaliser.Bit-depth converter (supporting 16, 24 and 32 bits).Sample-rate converter (supporting 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz sample rates).Igor has teamed up with plug-in developer DMAX, who recently released a suite of mastering plug-ins for the Mac (reviewed in Sound On Sound June 2013), and ported the same high-quality algorithms of those effects to the iOS platform. The app also features preset hotkeys, with the ability to create your own presets. You can apply processing to one or a group of files, and all processor settings are stored with each file. One thing the GUI does not allow - and which is certainly something we have come to expect from iOS audio apps - is the ability to pinch-zoom the waveform for more accurate placement of in and out points.įade-ins and fade-outs can be added with three different fade curves, and you can set in and out points manually or on the fly. If future developments to Audio Mastering include audio editing (which this version does not), perhaps that facility will be added. The lack of an equivalent to iOS's camera roll is still a headache for those working with audio, and Audio Mastering works around this by supporting iTunes file sharing (so you can copy files to and from your Mac), Sonoma WireWorks' AudioCopy/AudioPaste protocol, and file transfer through its own internal web service. The recent update has also added 'Open in.' support, so you can pass audio directly to the app from email, or other supporting apps such as Twisted Wave (a great audio editor). Sample rates up to 96kHz are supported by iOS (although you will need an external audio interface to hear the benefit), and Audio Mastering supports MP3, M4A, AIFF and WAV file formats, so you can potentially record and mix at 96kHz and 24-bit in Auria, then pass the stereo mix across to Audio Mastering. I must admit that I was sceptical about the performance of a £6.99 $9.99 app as a mastering suite, but once I'd used it, I was very pleasantly surprised. The audio quality is really very good indeed. You can hear unpleasant artefacts if you push it too hard, of course, and best results will be obtained only with a decent pair of monitors and a high-quality external audio interface, but now it really is possible to make meaningful mastering decisions on stereo files using just an iPad.Twisted Wave: 102 is an advanced class, specifically tailored to those that want to understand the final stage (before digital distribution) of audio production for recorded audiobooks, known as mastering. During this 3 hour program, the Foundation will be exploring next level mastering concepts and building on what you learned in our Twisted Wave 101: Recording Voiceover with Twisted Wave class and/or from what you have learned by being a proficient user of the software. This class may also be beneficial to voiceover performers that want to understand how layered audio processing can effect other voiceover recordings.
