EG ClassicFX AU3 Multi effects 4+

A great simple set of effective effects.
Great also that I can now use various effects on one track
Rather than using all effect inserts on Cubasis 2

Worth every penny...

Thank you Andrea

First, this has an ‘automation’ feature built-in that is toggled on or off as the user wishes. This is enables gradual variation of the flanger, or delay, over time within the FX app itself. It can be convoluted to accomplish such a feat, in some DAWs. Takes up just one ‘slot’ in GarageBand iPadOS/iOS for effects, useful because sometimes Apple instruments as standard, fill most or all of these!

From a quick try, the ‘automation’ is done by the app ‘recording’ what variation you make occur in the mini XY pad that is allocated to any given effect - same goes for the ‘gain’ bar positioning right below the little XY pad. This is new to me, will take a bit more investigation, but it’s a really good feature.

Effects seem good quality at first trial, love the super-uniform and succinct controls arrangement. There are some monsters out there, to give mega-FX to your tracks, but these run roughshod over the slender RAM inherent in iOS devices, I know, I’ve got them.

One really well-effected track, dare you risk two?! Crashes and issues can result, or the dreaded and frankly unstoppable ‘optimising’ message in GarageBand. So, I will be dropping this in all over the place, and see how it stacks up. It gets 5 stars after only brief use, simply because the interface is really slick and efficient, and the need for a compact bundle of FX in a single slot, is pretty huge.

This is much more targeted at all those recognisable effects everyone uses regular as clockwork. Full marks just for hitting the key aspects: need for the FX in one slot; good sound but not at the expense of too much processing/resources; superbly considered and implemented, lovely uniform and understandable controls (a slider bar under an XY pad for each effect).

Very enthusiastic about this, it must have limitations cramming in all the standard FX into one app surely, but well done to the Developer for having a shot at one of the staple needs of modern music-making. In a mix for me, it usually has to be just ‘good enough’ quality. It can do that, save resources and processing and RAM, and easily be five stars.

Others, will get other benefits - these, are my benefits. Good luck everyone with whatever project you are on with.
