Best iPhone RTA app for quick use ?
« on: November 15, 2012, 08:36:50 PM »

Just wondering what everybody uses for a quick RTA on the iPhone. Id be willing to pay up to $5 just for a quick easy RTA. I am using ianalyzerlite right now but cant use it sideways so its really hard to see.

I mean if you turn the phone sideways it doesnt go to a widescreen format its only works on the screen one way........

Anybody tried using Octave ? Seems to have good reviews but only about 20 of them.

+1.  If you intend to use your phone as an audio analysis device, audiotools is well worth the price of admission.  One caveat, you do have to spend quite a bit more than the starting $20 in order to get all the fun toys.  I don't have some of the more expensive acoustic measuring tools and I've still got about $100 in mine.  Still, $50 for a mini SMAART app with the FFT and waterfall plot has been well worth it for me.

It depends on what you are trying to "accomplish" with your RTA.  Is accuracy important to you in what you are doing (we have no idea what youwant ot use it for)?

Remember that the response of the MIC in the phone can greatly affect what the meter reads.  The use of an external mic is HIGHLY preferred-but nowhere near you price point.

I am one of those good reviews :). Octave works really well for my uses.  I've been in touch with the developer and he is adding new features all the time, which is why I was willing to pay $4 for an app that will be updated every now and then.

I can't see anything with less than 1/12 octave resolution being of any use.  I use FFT.
