The product
What is OneMove Vocal Console?
OneMove Vocal Console is a complete vocal chain in one AUv3 plug-in for iPad and iPhone, made by OneMove Audio. It has fourteen modules: Clean (noise reduction), Tune (pitch correction), Tame (dynamic EQ and de-esser), Shape (corrective EQ), Level (2A-style opto leveller), Punch (76-style FET limiter), Tape, Floor, Ride (vocal rider), Tube, Character (voice transformation), Air, Loud and Finish (tone EQ with a plate reverb and doubler). Each module has one main knob.
What is the best vocal chain plug-in for iPad?
The right one depends on your work. If you want a whole vocal chain in one window, light on CPU (about 6 % of one core for all fourteen modules on an iPad Air M3) and usable live (1.3–4 ms of plug-in latency), OneMove Vocal Console is built for that. If you need note-by-note pitch editing or offline audio repair, a dedicated tool does more; our comparisons say where.
What does "One Move" mean?
Each module opens as one knob that moves several controls together, the way an engineer would. Turn it and the module does the right thing. Expert opens the full panel when you want detail.
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes. The same plug-in runs on iPhone, with a layout that shows two modules at a time and knobs sized for your thumb.
Hosts
Which hosts does it work in?
Any host that runs AUv3 audio effects, including Logic Pro for iPad, Cubasis, AUM, Loopy Pro, GarageBand and Beatmaker. It also runs on its own in the app's console. See hosts and setup.
Does it work in Loopy Pro?
Yes. Loopy Pro can't route a side-chain to an AUv3 effect, so the rider can get the music through Key Link: a second instance on the music bus sends it on a link channel, and the vocal's instance receives it.
What is Key Link?
A way to pass a signal between instances of the plug-in on eight channels (A–H), sample-aligned, in hosts without side-chain routing. Ride uses it to follow the music.
Can I send MIDI to Tune?
Yes. OneMove Vocal Console is a Music Effect, so hosts can route MIDI to it. Tune can use MIDI notes as targets or play a reference tone.
Sound and performance
How much latency does it add?
In Live mode, 4.0 ms (spectral noise reduction) or 1.3 ms (zero-latency or Neural 0 ms). In Studio mode, 61.6 ms with neural noise reduction or 32.3 ms with classic, which the host compensates. These are the plug-in's own latency at 48 kHz, not round-trip. Latency explained.
How much CPU does it use?
About 6 % of one core for all fourteen modules on an iPad Air M3: 5.2–6.6 % on the audio thread at 48 kHz with 256-frame buffers. With neural noise reduction the total is 10.7 %, because the model runs on its own thread. These figures were measured before Space was added; Space adds about 0.3–0.4 % of one core on the Mac. How we measured.
Can I use pitch correction live?
Yes. In Live mode Tune adds 0.67 ms of its own delay. At the hardest setting it settles on a new note in 28 ms in Live mode and 15 ms in Studio mode. Why it can't be instant.
Is the noise reduction AI?
Clean's Studio engine is a small neural network (based on RNNoise, BSD-3) that runs on the device. It removed 37–40 dB of hiss, fan, clicks and traffic between phrases in our tests. Live mode has a version with no added delay. The benchmark.
Are Level and Punch emulations of classic hardware?
They are our own designs, modelled on the published behaviour of classic opto and FET circuits and fitted to measured reference curves: a 2A-style opto leveller and a 76-style FET limiter. How close they measure.
Which sample rates are supported?
44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz, every engine including neural noise reduction.
Price and privacy
How much does it cost?
It's free to download. Every module works in the demo, which processes for 5 minutes each time the plug-in loads; bounces stay unprocessed until you unlock. One purchase of $19.99 unlocks the full version. No subscription.
Does it collect any data?
No. Audio is processed on the device. The microphone is used only in the app's own console, when you choose it as the source. Purchases are handled by Apple. Privacy.
Have you measured battery and heat?
Not yet, so we don't make claims about them. We'll publish measurements when we have them.
