Mixer
The mixer lets you set level, pan, and filter for each track and for the metronome independently.
It's very useful to independently control these parameters during your performance. Turn the
filter down to get that electronic low-pass cut-off effect. Increase the “q” to increase resonance
in the low-pass filter which accentuates the classic electronic filter effect.
You can control the various knobs by holding your finger on them and either moving up and
down, or left to right.
Tip: Avoid moving diagonally. Up, or Right means turn the knob clockwise, while left or down
means turn it counter-clockwise. Diagonal movements will not turn the knobs as you would
expect.
Tip: If you tap on a knob, it will slowly change from where you had it set to Off or Pan-Centre.
Once at Off or Pan-Centre, tapping it again will slowly change them back. Tapping again while
it's moving will cause the automation to complete immediately. You can initiate this type of
automation for multiple knobs simultaneously, for example to fade out all tracks at once. You
can set the fade out time by going to the settings menu.
Note: With AudioBus connected you can route the microphone through the loop tracks and an
external app through the metronome track. That way you could use a 3rd party drum machine
instead of the built-in metronome sounds. Refer to the section on AudioBus for more details.
Sessions
Although a looping purist might argue that every performance you give should be “from scratch”
with no pre-existing material, Voice Jam Studio lets you save your work anyway. When you
save a session you are storing the content of all 4 loop tracks plus the state of their four
independent undo/redo sessions. Sessions also store the master tempo, the position of all dials
in the mixer, whether sync is on or off for each loop, the waveform touch mode for each loop,
and of course the active vocal effect.
The folder icon at the top allows you to load and save sessions.
The Default Session
Sometimes you want to start from scratch, or create a new blank session. In that case you
should load the default session. Use the file menu, select load, and choose “Load Default
Session”.
