Studio Music Player

Studio Music Player

Normally $1.99.

This simple & smart music player will allow you to hear the music totally otherwise – as on expensive studio headphones and audio monitors (studio speakers).

Add your music using iTunes interface of your MAC or PC.

Watch tutorials on our website:
http://www.studiomusicplayer.pro

Check out our “Studio Music Player DX” with Dropbox and iTunes Files Sharing functionality (downloading music without synchronizing in iTunes).

IMPORTANT: Studio Music Player is not playing Apple Music content!
All music has to be stored on the device, but not in iCloud.

According to the presets of our audio player, your headphones and most audio devices will sound as professional expensive studio devices. The sound will become crystal-clear, wide and rich. And all this thanks to the highly-accuracy adjustment individually created for each device.

How?
This is done through the deep study of the sound within a few years of the work. We have studied in detail the amplitude frequency responses of audio of all present devices in the music player and aligned the sound to the peculiarities of each of them.

Presets:
Our music player contain more than 80 presets for the most famous brands. You can find the list of devices on our website. It is constantly updated by new devices.

48-band equalizer (In-app):
For professional users, the player has a 48-band paragraphic eq to adjust the sound manually. Equalizer selection of any frequency between 20 and 20,000 Hz, bandwidth within the range of 0.1 – 2 octaves, gain from -10 to +4 dB and total 48 bands. This is a truly great pro opportunity!

Each person has a preference for the sound.
Someone likes more bass, and someone – trebles. That’s why we made the section easy adjustable to your tastes. In this music player you can increase / decrease sub-bass, bass, mids, trebles and presence.

Presets “memorize” the device:
Our music player is smart, so it will activate the appropriate preset when connected to a bluetooth device. You only need to choose the appropriate preset when connected to a new bluetooth device. When disconnecting the device, the last preset is activated, which was used for audio output (headphones).

Low power consumption!
We’ve made sure that you can enjoy your favorite music in high quality playback for a long time and made a audio player that consumes little CPU resources and energy.

Album cover zooming:
Sometimes you want to have a closer look at the album cover, but how to do it? Double-click on the cover or a “stretching” gesture will make a zoom.

Now the track is easy to remember:
You can send a title of the track you liked and FX settings thereto to your e-mail by double-clicking on the name of the song or artist in the main window of the music player.

Color schemes:
Everyone has a favorite color. That’s why we have made 16 color schemes include “night” skin.

FX:
Our music player has FX module! In this module you can change tonality and playback speed “on the go”. It is fun and very convenient for those who are engaged in the creation of sampling music.

Playlist:
The audio player has a simple user interface that allows opening the playlist from any window by moving a finger from left to right – it’s very convenient!

Shuffle mode:
In Shuffle mode the same track will be played again only after the entire playlist plays, and not before. This way, we avoid repeats when playing a playlist.

IMPORTANT! All presets in Studio Music Player are created exclusively on the original brand-name audio devices. The sound on forgeries is absolutely incompatible with our player!
The device must be of the same year, and the model must coincide with the model being in presets. Otherwise, there is no guarantee of a high quality sound.

However, sometimes even completely different devices sound very similar to each other. That’s why preset can suit despite a different model, and even the device manufacturer!

Thanks for your time, enjoy music in all its beauty!
