    Here, in one portable device, are high-headroom XMAX™ microphone preamplifiers, a built-in FireWire recording and playback interface, more than 90 signal processors, a big library of DSP effects, 6 (16.4.2) or 10 (24.4.2) aux buses, 4 subgroups, extensive LED metering, mixer save and recall, channel-strip save/recall/copy/paste, talkback, and more.

    Create live mixes that glisten with clarity and detail—then record and enhance the performance with the power of StudioLive.

    Get creative in the studio. Build mixes, loops, sound effects, and more, then bring them out to your show and mix them with the live performance. Process channels using your favorite plug-ins and completely automate your entire performance. StudioLive revolutionizes music production, opening endless creative possibilities.

    Studio One is a groundbreaking music creation and production application for Mac OS X and Windows XP/Vista that makes audio recording, MIDI sequencing, and audio mastering ridiculously simple right out of the box.

    Its a creative environment built for intuitive use, speed, and efficiencyand yet its robust enough for the most complex productions. Its the DAW that a band of leading recording-hardware engineers and a team of industry-defining software-design veterans want to use for themselves. Its incredibly easy to use yet provides a wealth of professional features.

    Far from just another music-production program, Studio One changes the rules of the game. Fresh code, innovative drag-and-drop MIDI mapping and plug-in management, auto-configuration with PreSonus hardware, insanely good audio quality, unlimited tracks and plug-ins per track, and a powerful, inventive Start page that literally puts the whole project right in your hands are just a few of the compelling features of Studio One.

    Digidesign Pro Tools 7.3 New Dynamic Transport

    Posted by admin on July 14th, 2009 and filed under Music Creation Software | 6 Comments »

    New Music Creation Features

    - Dynamic Transport mode allows playback to operate independently of the current selection
    - Loop playback automatically updates to the selection without manually stopping and starting the transport
    - Loop Trim tool allows you to easily turn audio or MIDI regions into loops
    - Create Click Track command and preference
    - New Tracks Default to Tick Timebase preference speeds up loop-based workflows
    - Key Signature ruler enables key signature changes and transposition
    - Send to Sibelius command offers streamlined workflow between Pro Tools and Sibelius notation software
    - Loop Preview and Auto Preview options
    - RTAS® Engine error suppression options
    - Additional MIDI recording, editing, and export features

    New Loop Features

    The new Dynamic Transport mode allows you to start playback anywhere in the timeline without affecting the current selection by simply placing a Play Start marker — a new feature. You can also edit and move loop selections independently of the Play Start marker, all without manually stopping the transport. Loop playback also automatically updates to the selection without having to manually stop and start the transport. With the new Loop Trim tool, you can turn any audio or MIDI region into a loop instantly. And auditioning audio files is easier than ever: The new Loop Preview mode lets you quickly audition a selected REX or ACID file in the DigiBase™ browser, while Auto Preview mode allows you to audition single or multiple files automatically when selected.

    Dynamic Mixing

    Forget about having to manually stop and start the transport to make changes to your mix configuration — you can now make many common changes on the fly. Go ahead. Add or remove tracks; add, remove, or copy inserts and sends; change a track’s I/O routing; re-order tracks; and make other changes without having to manually stop playback.
