n-Track Studio will allow you to use your computer as
a complete recording studio. You can record and playback
a virtually unlimited number of audio and MIDI tracks,
depending on your computer’s speed. Audio tracks are
stored as standard wave files on your hard disk. Using
the "virtual" mixer, you can adjust track levels, pan
a track to the left or right channel etc.
|
|
Realtime Audio effects such as echo, chorus and compression
can be added to each track, to the master channel or to
one of the aux channels non-destructively: you can adjust
the effect settings and listen to the result in real time.
Apart from its native effects
(Reverb, Echo, Auto volume, Pitch Shift and Chorus) the
program also supports the standard DirectX and VST plugins
interfaces: third party
effect modules can be used in real-time from within the
program. |
|
Effects processing and mixing uses 32 bit resolution
- An actual screenshot: the green lines represent
the volume evolution. -
|
|
The program works with any standard or multichannel 16
and 24 bit soundcards |
|
Any combination of 16, 24 and 32 bit mono and stereo wave
files can be used in the same song or even on the same
track |
|
Up to 32 aux channels with fully automated sends &
returns |
|
The program can sync to other programs or external devices
using SMPTE/MTC or MIDI Clocksync, acting either as
master or slave
|
|
Destructive and non-destructive editing operations can
be performed within the program, allowing easy copy, cut,
paste of portions of wave files between different tracks |
|
Multiple input and output soundcards or more than one
soundcard are supported so it's possible to record more
than one track at a time and to output to more than one
stereo output. Each output channels has its own master
effects section and master volume control |
|
Supporting both DirectX and VST plug-ins, the program
now allows using virtually all the plug-ins available
for the PC platform |
|
Supports
VST Instruments and DirectX Instruments synth
plug-ins: sample-accurate MIDI tracks can be processed
with plug-ins and sent to the main audio output, without
the need of an hardware MIDI synth!

|
Supporting standard Windows soundcards drivers (MME),
WDM, Asio and DirectSound drivers the program
is compatible with virtually any soundcard and audio recording
interface available for PCs. |
|
The program can load and save MIDI tracks to standard
MIDI files |
|
Wave and MIDI tracks are treated in the same fashion:
all the controls work in a similar way for both audio
and MIDI tracks. MIDI tracks can be edited in the Piano
Roll window. |
|
Videos
(AVI, MPEG) can be played in sync with the song in a dedicated
video playback window |
|
A single track can contain an unlimited number of wave
files. Looping of wave files can be easily accomplished
concatenating several instances of the same wave file |
|
It's possible to automate the evolution of the volume,
pan, send and return settings: you can "program" fade-in/outs,
cross fades, boost the volume of a track when there is
a solo etc.. |
|
It's possible to record the evolution of effects parameters
(for example change the length of a delay effect during
the course of the song) |
|
A pair of vu-meters for every input and output channel
help to make sure that the recording and playback levels
are correct, and that no clipping occurs |
|
Due to the fact that audio tracks are stored as normal
wave files, you'll be able to process the tracks with
the help of an external wave editor |
|
Once finished recording the whole song, you can mixdown
all the tracks into a single wav file to eventually to
use it to record a CD track using a CD recorder or to
distribute the song via internet using the built-in mp3
encoder. |
|
Try
the program now:
the evaluation version is fully usable. It has no
limitations in the number or length of the tracks. However,
from time to time a registration reminder dialog box will
appear (but not during playback or recording) and some
advanced features require the program to be registered:
mixdown to a single wave file is disabled; real-time effects
work only on the first track |
