lightbugs software Cubase
SX 3 takes music production to a new level by adding more than 70
new features including powerful Audio Warp Real-time Time stretching,
an intuitive Play Order Track, convenient In place Editing and many new
editing functions. For the first time, a native music production system
combines full-featured audio and MIDI recording and editing, virtual
instruments and powerful audio mixing with the added flexibility of
loop- and pattern-based arranging and mixing.
Top-10 features of Cubase SX:
Audio Warp: Real-time Time Stretching and Pitch Shifting offer
extensive audio editing and processing capabilities, including ACID®
File support: loops automatically adopt a project’s tempo; audio files
can follow tempo changes in real time.
Intuitive Play Order Track for pattern-based arranging adds a new level
of creative music editing. Divide your song into sections, and then
re-arrange it on the fly. Compare alternative versions of your song and
then convert them back into a linear form for mix down and mastering.
In place Editor supports ultra-fast direct MIDI event editing from
within the project page. Edit MIDI events in context with audio or
video.
MIDI Device Maps / Panels support direct access to external MIDI
hardware with user-definable graphic editing panels. Import VST Mixer
Maps or create your own editing panels, even for the Track Inspector or
the mixer’s channel strip.
User-definable Workspaces (window layouts) help organize your desktop.
Create and save a separate workspace for each step of the production
process. Switch Workspaces on the fly, as if working on multiple
computers or monitors.
Studio Connections “Total Recall” support (optional integration of
Yamaha’s Studio Manager 2). The first step into a new dimension of
software/hardware integration. This modular editing system builds a
powerful bridge between the virtual and physical studio. Opening a
project can recall an entire studio setup within seconds.
External FX Plugins allow for direct integration of external hardware
effects processors into the VST audio mixer. Use your favourite
outboard gear just like plugins – including automatic delay
compensation.
Extended Freeze function for virtual instruments and audio tracks with
added flexibility and improved performance. Freeze virtual instruments
with or without insert effects. Then automatically unload the
instrument to free up RAM. Freeze audio tracks with insert effects to
free up even more CPU performance.
Part-based Volume Envelopes for direct control of dynamics. Fix level
problems on the fly without wasting automation tracks. Then move events
with their volume envelopes.
User-definable Colour Coding for tracks and VST mixer channels provides
more clarity and better orientation – especially in complex band
projects.
