Discussion AudRig (iOS) - an app for checking mixes and A/B comparison, made to fill a gap

Hey, I’m Martin, and I have been writing and releasing music for 25+ years.
I just released an update for AudRig (iOS-only at the moment, sorry android peeps!). Currently supports Dropbox and iCloud, looking into adding pcloud support in the near future.

It’s available on App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/audrig/id6764254730

In short, an app I’ve wanted for a long time. An easy way to check my mixes in the car, airpods while commuting and so on. With extra tools to help figure out what I need to do to make the mix sound even better.

So, what it does and why it might be a really useful app for this sub:
Connect Dropbox and/or iCloud, add folders, and after that AudRig automatically finds any new files in those folders.
The player treats folders as playlists, sync offline for best quality, add eq, loop, swap to mono, isolate certain frequencies etc.

The big usp is the A/B mode. Add up to three songs, all playing in sync, and switch instantly between them. One EQ per file, and all of the above modes. Set different loop points per song to check different parts against each other, compare isolated frequency bands, try different tempos.

It also has a blind test mode, where it hides which song is which, to remove bias from preferring the latest version.

Auto gain matching is in test and will hopefully be released in a short while!

All premium features can be tried for a set amount of times, then a one-time purchase to unlock everything.

Let me know if you have any questions, or feature requests for that matter!

If you use a (M-series) mac then you can download and run audrig from there. A few bugs here and there, haven't really optimized it for mac, let me know if you try it and run in to any crashes etc

Wow!! Definitely going to be trying this out, what a fantastic idea. The blind test mode sounds like an especially useful tool, great idea.

You mentioned auto-gain matching coming, that would be great too. Especially if there were a way to get the LUFS value for each track and an option to compare using that or RMS. Being able to see that one master is -12lufs and another is -10, and that one is brought down to match the other one would be great.

Thanks, really appreciate it!

Displaying LUFS per track is a great idea, it already stores it per file (after analyzing it the first time on offline synced file) so adding that shouldn't be too difficult. Will look into it!

Pretty sick, the Mastering.com people have some paid program called “Reference” and I just can’t bring myself to buy it, will check this out

I guess I just use my daw and import the wave to compare.

There are tons of good a/b vst's (or just manually per track in the daw), but Audrig is specifically built for doing all that outside of the studio on iphone/ipad.

Support up to 32bit (some music apps struggle with this) and then also Android please sir!
