Track Versions

• This flexible feature helps to significantly speed up your workflow by allowing you to create, rename, and manage parallel versions of the same audio, MIDI, instrument, chord, tempo and signature track (or tracks), using them to compare takes or create alternative versions of your recordings, while keeping all track settings. It interfaces perfectly with existing track handling features like lanes.

Global Transpose Track

• Here you can transpose either the entire project or sections of it, a function which is very useful if, for example, you want to create harmonic variations.

Hermode Tuning

• Hermode Tuning dynamically retunes the notes you play, creating clear frequencies for every (for example) fifth and third interval. Retuning only affects individual notes and it maintains the pitch relationship between keys and notes. The retuning is a continuous process and also takes the musical context into account.

Comping

• Create the perfect version of a recording from multiple takes. Few performers are skilled enough to always get it right the first time in the recording environment, so comping is a vital part of the process. When recording several takes in a loop, Lanes are created instantly for each track being recorded. From here, it is very simple to create the perfect version. Simply swipe across the best parts and a master take containing all selected parts will be created automatically. In addition, the Comp tool offers extremely useful click-and-drag features for instant results.

Audio Prerecord

• This allows you to record audio during playback or in stop mode. Never again miss that perfect take, just because you forgot to press record. You can specify how many seconds of incoming audio will be captured in buffer memory.

Marker Track

• Add and edit markers that will help you to quickly locate certain positions in your project.

Pre-Roll / Post-Roll

• This allows the project cursor to roll back by a specified time value before playback starts. When the cursor reaches the left locator, recording is automatically activated. When the cursor reaches the right locator, recording is deactivated, but playback continues for the specified post-roll value before stopping.

Rerecording

• In this mode recording is reinitiated, the events are removed and recording restarts from the same position.

Pool

• Every time you record on an audio track, a file is created on your hard disk. A reference to this file (a clip) is added to the Pool. The Pool displays folders and their contents in a similar way to the File Explorer/macOS Finder, allowing you to intuitively perform operations that affect files on disk and that only affect clips.

Key Editor

• The Key Editor is a powerful yet transparent facility which opens up virtually limitless possibilities for songwriters and composers.

The drum maps feature helps you to solve this problem and simplify several other aspects of MIDI drum kits such as using drum sounds from different instruments in the same kit.

In-Place Editing

• Edit MIDI notes and controllers directly in the Project window. This is a helpful tool for quick and efficient editing in context with other tracks. Expanding the MIDI track shows a miniature Key Editor, and when you select a MIDI note, the info lines in the Project window and Key Editor show the same information about the note. You can perform the same editing here as in the Key Editor.

Quick Controls

• This is where your most important parameters are gathered in one place, saving you from having to move through the various windows and sections relating to your track.

VariAudio 3

Audio Warp Quantize

• Warp-quantize multiple audio tracks at once using the convenient Quantize panel. By creating warp markers straight from hitpoints, both single audio loops as well as the entire arrangement can be nondestructively quantized with a single mouse click—just like MIDI parts. Importantly, because the audio events are warped, rather than sliced, they automatically follow any tempo or pitch changes of your project, while remaining uncluttered for easy arrangement.

Audio Parts

• Audio Parts are containers for audio events. If you want to treat several audio events as one unit in the Project window, you can convert them to a part.

Hitpoint Detection

• Hitpoints mark musically relevant positions in audio files. When activating this function, the transient positions will be detected and hitpoints will be created automatically, by analyzing onsets and melodic changes within the audio.

Render In-Place

• Bounce MIDI and audio parts easily, defining exactly what processes to include, and, for example, render track effects in the newly created events. When rendering in-place, a new audio track is created with all effects settings copied over from the original source track, plus the rendered audio, including intact event boundaries.
