In this video, I introduce a free MIDI controller feature within NovoNotes Duo, an iOS app that turns your iPhone or iPad into a fully functional MIDI controller with expressive features like pitch bend and MPE support. I'll walk you through the complete setup process, showing you how to connect your iOS device and integrate it with your DAW, all using this completely free tool that only requires downloading the NovoNotes Duo app from the App Store.

In this video, I explore version 2 of Ginger Audio's Ground Control Sphere, a virtual monitoring application for immersive audio that brings new features including a redesigned interface, multiple audio interface support, improved bass management, and deeper Apple Spatial Audio integration with AirPods head tracking. While the update significantly improves upon version 1, I discovered some workflow issues with the AirPods integration, though the software remains a powerful tool for immersive audio monitoring on Mac systems.
