What SB Audio FX is
SB Audio FX is a soundboard app for DJs and live performers using iPhone or iPad. Tap its large, responsive, colour-coded pads to trigger built-in sounds, with separate volume control on each pad. The maker describes playback as low-latency. Multiple soundboards are supported, and importing your own audio files lets you create custom boards; the App Store labels that import function as a Pro feature. The app runs on iOS or iPadOS 16.6 and later and has a free plan. Pro is a 19.99 GBP one-time in-app purchase that unlocks the full app. Separately, the website sells standalone .mp3 sound packs for DJ software, DAWs, or controllers. Individual packs contain 10 sounds and cost £4.99, paid once, except Clap Backs Pack at 7.99 GBP. The 18-pack bundle costs £39.99, paid once and includes 180+ sounds.
