Pros and cons of XA1 Lite app for iPhone and iPad
XA1 Lite app good for
Always useful on the fly when a troublesome frequency takes off during a live show, or just for ringing out monitors before the band hits the stage. A good bit more accurate on the very highs and very lows when using an external mic, but one of the best tools available even using the internal mic.
This app has been the flagship application in my audio arsenal. The one this that this app has over others is that it functions in real time where as others like this have a delay. I recommend this to everyone. Please know that it has issues on iOS 5 with startup. Check to see that theyve updated to iOS 5 before purchasing.
Some bad moments
Subject line says it all. Look at last date any of his iOS apps have been updated for newer iOS operating system (hint: no need to look, none of his apps have been updated in many years).
No way to export results of any of Marks iOS apps and vastly better other audio analyzer apps exist for the very high cost of Marks asking for his audio (over priced) apps.
