Real-time vocal processing with the first digital mic for Android
Announcing another breakthrough in mobile music creation: the release of EZ Voice and iRig Mic HD-A. Together they bring real-time vocal processing and digital audio microphone recording to Android devices for the first time. With EZ Voice, enjoy real-time vocal processing and recording on the latest generation of Samsung devices. iRig Mic HD-A is the first digital microphone that’s compatible with all Samsung devices running Samsung Professional Audio as well as with other devices running the just released Android 5 operating system thanks to its new USB audio support.
Real time vocal processing on Android
The new EZ Voice for Samsung Professional Audio devices offers a simple and intuitive way for singers of all kinds to create and capture great sounding vocal performances while on the go. EZ Voice users can process their performances with effects in real-time by applying up to 3 of EZ Voice’s 9 high-quality effects on offer. EZ Voice includes traditional studio standbys like Reverb, Delay, Chorus, EQ, Filter and Level. It also features creative options like Tune, Morph and Choir, which let users apply more radical alterations like changing a vocal performance’s key or gender or even adding in extra voices and harmonies. Users can apply these effects individually or select from a number of included presets for a truly immediate recording experience.
EZ Voice also features a streamlined interface that takes the work out of the recording process — it lets users import any song from their music library and use its included “NO VOICE” function to quickly remove the original vocal track. It leaves enough space for anyone to step up and give a show-stopping performance. Available on the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge - and soon to be available on the Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note 3 and other devices - this app allows singers and vocalists to enjoy real time effects processing anytime and everywhere.
The new Samsung Professional Audio compatible devices come with Samsung Soundcamp, a free and full-fledged music studio app that lets musicians record and compose full songs entirely within the device. The EZ Voice app can be used as a standalone application but also as a plug-in inside the new Soundcamp studio for full recording and play-along uses.
Digital audio capture on Android
And now Samsung and all Android 5 users can enjoy high-quality digital recording thanks to iRig Mic HD-A. It's the first pro-quality digital microphone for Android that allows plug-and-play connectivity via its included OTG cable (an additional USB cable is also available for use with PC). The input signal can be set using the onboard gain potentiometer while a multicolor LED provides sound level monitoring.
Featuring a 24-bit audiophile-grade A/D converter, a 44.1/48 kHz sampling rate and a low-noise/high-definition pre-amp, iRig Mic HD-A offers unmatched versatility: Singers can perform with and record their voices. Musicians and audio engineers can record instruments in studio and on the stage. And broadcasters and journalists can record interviews and other audio while in the field. In all cases, iRig Mic HD-A allows for recordings with high-fidelity digital sound and superior clarity previously unavailable on the Android platform.
Along with the iRig Mic HD-A, users can also choose from IK's current range of analog microphones, like the iRig Voice, iRig Mic and iRig Mic Cast. All use the mini jack for the input/output connection with the device. Now singers, vocalists and everyone else who needs to capture high-quality audio on their Android devices have multiple options to choose from that suit a wide variety of needs, applications and budgets. But there’s more to IK’s line of microphones than EZ Voice, they’re also compatible with iRig Recorder (IK’s quick and easy audio recorder) and any other Android app that uses the mini jack or USB input to record and capture audio.
