Plug in your electric guitar, a mic or any other (hi-Z) device to your mini-jack input and get accurate measurements. You can always use the built-in mic.

We paired stylish controls and an old-school interface with high precision signal processing algorithms, creating a new way to experience sound.

Soundbeam is an real-time audio analyzer (RTA) that processes the input of your microphone displaying it like a classic oscilloscope. It also features a spectral visualization of the audio using high resolution fourier transform (FFT) for accurate measurements.

Get a dose of nostalgia with Soundbeam now!

It works well
Afkarj

This app works well would suggest it if you are looking for an audio oscilloscope. Works well with iPad. Tested it side by side with an iPhone and both were responding exactly the same! Hoping to get an iPad specific version, possibly with more bells and whistles. I like the app very much


Excellent app
RustyFender

Very handy for getting a quick spectrum analysis, or just looking at a wave form. The developer has made this look fantastic -- the attention to detail and artwork are great. Highly recommended for anyone who might need a basic oscilloscope (and who doesn't?).


Good example of quality app
xunker

Apart from its use as an o-scope, this app really shows what a quality iOS product should look like.


Only one suggestion
Ninja2915

Can the developer add a record feature to it where you obviously record something, And then record again and see a percent on how well the two sounds matched?


wonderful and simple

I'm an audio engineer and I love showing my 5 year old son what sound looks like! It's also a good studio tool when calibrating your monitors!

Hey, onethat works!! I can zoom on a pip and monitor just it. My wife and I were wondering what the huge signal at 15Khz was. I covered the mic and it went away, so we started turning things off... Not the fluorescent light... Ahh it went away when the TV was turned off. Like having our own private fox hunt. I have video of me measuring my brain activity!!! I put the mic to my forhead an the sugnal FLATLINED!!! My wife bout fell out of her chair laughing!! Can you make it save and record? Love the imagecapture feature too!
