No Fun Apps
How about those necessary apps that don't delight you but make everything better? What is in the standard arsenal?
- Audiobus
- AUM
- Audioshare...
What else? I need a good EQ. Was looking at Audio Mastering. Checked out the video, and I know my way around a parametric equalizer, but this app made it look like the gesture computer Tom Cruise uses in "Minority Report."
It would be great if this app assisted in the mastering, pointing out spectrum imbalances, for instance.
Is there an app that can help isolate the air-conditioner rumble in recorded interview, say?
Suggestions?

I'm going to do the obvious here (someone will, so I might as well get in early etc). AB, AUM and AS do delight me. I mean really and every day, every time I pick up this fabulous small device. Best bit of technology I've ever bought and probably, along with a few others like Auria and Bebot (but, of course) the three apps you mention are among the best pieces of software I've ever bought. When I say a few others I probably mean somewhere close to half a hundred. All the usual suspects no doubt. Interesting things are coming and I understand these are still the black and white television days of handheld devices, but, still, I'm so very grateful my breathing time has intersected with what we've had so far...
As for isolating the air-conditioner, cleverer folks than me might be able to help you out. Hafta say that when I have industrial noise I head for Audition on the desktop (which is about all I head to it for...).
This is a tricky perspective. What you’re effectively describing is the “plumbing”. The essential services and facilities that once bought and installed form the wiring and tubing and pipework of the whole secret underground bunker. They might not be as glamorous as the twin-micro-singularity Kepler-boundary time machine sitting there on the test bench, but without the effort of installing basic facilities and provisions in the first place, nothing much else can happen if you can’t even flush the toilet. It is like a modular synthesiser (sorry to bring the conversation down to mention such serious narcotics) — look how much each module costs, and what they do, and it is exciting and stimulating. But can you get excited at a case or frame or backplane? They cost more than a lot of single modules, but contribute nothing to the sound at all.
It all depends on where we draw the line.
Here are a few apps that don't generate sound themselves, but that I find massively useful (in addition to the already mentioned three apps).
Love this kind of post, because I don't use any of these apps....things to consider etc.
That's it exactly. Fun to buy the guitar, less so to buy the amp cable.
I wish Audioshare was a more robust sound editor. Normalizing is fine, but how about a notch EQ in there too? (And the ability to delete a chunk from the middle of the sound file?) One of my first apps when I got into iPad music was twisted wave. I was trying to duplicate an app I used, what, 15 years ago? It was called Peak, and bias made it. It was fantastic. Twisted wave kind of works for that, but it just kills the workflow. Not Audiobus compatible.
So does anybody have any experience with the Audio Mastering app?
I get quite excited about using a Mogami gold cable with a guitar though...
And don't forget Sidecar. Helped me out recently sending program changes to Auria to send to Drumjam.
And, yes, AUM has some special features. Great app!
Love the built-in mid-side that I can use on every track appropriately. Very useful.
I'm always delighted by Audiobus - when things work nicely together.
Toneprint - very useful I've found recently for programming TC pedals.
netMIDI from iConnectivity is handy for making connections between iDevices.
MIDI Bridge of course.
MC Oscilloscope and MC Analyzer can come in handy.
ChordWeaver.
Brute LFO, Synth 76477 and SGenerator for driving the Microbrute.

But, then, I find all of this "fun"
Stage Traxx may fit in the 'no fun but essential' category. It's a backing a track player/manager and in my opinion it excels at this task. I haven't taken my laptop to gigs since the day I bought Stage Traxx.
I just had a quick look at all my (music) apps and I can safely say they're all fun.
@ExAsperis99 you won't need a science degree to use Audio Mastering, just sit down with it for 5 mins, it's fairly intuitive.
With regards to your air con situation, use a hi-pass filter set at 80 or 120hz, a cardioid or hyper-cardioid polar pattern, and quite obviously, point the mic away from the noise source and close to your subject. Don't forget, there is no app that can compensate for poor mic selection/ placement.
Audioshare.
'No fun' apps are the ones that don't work
