Chord Track enables you to experiment with new chord progressions, while integrated pattern editing and live looping make beat creation fast and easy. With the Lyrics Track, you can add lyrics to your audio or MIDI productions and use the words to navigate your session. You can also edit audio files directly to video and even use Studio Pro for live performances in real-time! You’ll also appreciate Studio Pro’s customizable user interface, which lets you work the way you want to work.Unmatched flexibility and efficiencyOne of the reasons for Studio Pro’s incredible popularity is how its features intuitively combine and transition seamlessly from one to another during the creative process. For example, its Arranger Track allows you to rearrange and preview new song structures using simple drag-and-drop gestures. Scratch Pads make capturing random ideas easy, all without affecting your current arrangement. You also get straightforward step sequencing, harmonic editing for both audio and MIDI, and a range of multitrack tools for transient detection, slicing, and time stretching.Top-notch composition toolsFender Studio Pro borrows many advanced notation features from the award-winning Notion software, making it a prime choice for composers.

An ideal DAW for creative artistsFrom the beginning, Ableton Live has been as much a creative tool as a DAW. This duality essentially has to do with the way Live lets you construct tracks and play with audio in real time. There are two main parts to Live: the Arrangement View and the Session View. The Arrangement View is more or less a standard linear DAW, with time on the X axis and tracks on the Y axis. Where Live differs from other DAWs is its Session View, which puts individual tracks on the X axis and scenes on the Y axis. Each scene contains a slot on each channel for a clip. Clips are usually short pieces of audio or MIDI, a few measures longer or shorter, that loop to create grooves. Launched individually, these loops let you experiment with your arrangements, trying out various combinations of grooves and riffs.Since everything from modern electronic music to classic rock and blues is heavily based on repeating sections, Live's Session View makes it an ideal creative tool for all kinds of songwriters. In fact, the songwriting tools don't stop there. In addition to launching individual clips, you can launch entire scenes, complete with automatic advancement to subsequent scenes, scene repeat instructions, and other logic options.Using scenes makes it easy to arrange entire songs in parts (verse, chorus, etc.). When you record your progression to the linear Arrangement View, you add the possibility to record lead lines and other performances that fall outside the rest of the song structure. What's more, all of the loop-/riff-based arrangement options are still available on the timeline, so you can continue to edit and build on your song even after you record it to the Session View.All of the standard DAW functions you needIn addition to the standard linear Session View, Ableton Live comes loaded with every standard DAW function you need. Nondestructive multitrack recording at up to 32-bit/192kHz is the beginning. You get powerful mixing and signal-flow tools such as bussing and return tracks. VST and AU plug-in formats fit right into your workflow, right alongside the wonderful tools bundled with Live. Live's MIDI sequencing capabilities are second to none, and easy access to automation curves, MIDI learn, and more make this a total DAW powerhouse.More content than you could ever ask forWhen you stop and consider the amount of content Ableton packed into Live 12 Suite, it's staggering. Download all 33 content packs, and we're talking about over 71 GB of killer sounds. You also get all 20 software instruments, 58 audio effects, and 14 MIDI effects that span things like amp emulation, acoustic resonance, and other unique effects, in addition to all of the standard effects, EQs, dynamics, and other processors. Top-notch synth and sampler instruments only add to the value. But that's not all: Live 12 Suite also includes the flexible architecture of Max for Live built right in, unlocking a whole new dimension to its creative potential.Make your own effects and instruments with Max for LiveIn the unlikely event that you can't find the sound you're looking for somewhere in Ableton Live 12 Suite's massive sound library, then you're probably not looking hard enough. You're going to love diving into Max for Live. It's like a programming language; however, instead of lines of code, you use virtual boxes, gizmos, and cables to turn your ideas into original instruments and effects — right inside Ableton Live 12. And to get you rolling smoothly with Max for Live, Live 12 Suite even includes an extensive collection of excellent Max Devices that will make building more complex modules much less difficult.Live 12 Suite augments your rig with killer new soundsFrom MPE-capable sound shaping to expressive granular textures to colorful saturation, Live 12 Suite expands the kind of music you can make right out of the box. Further, you get a new modulation behavior that will turbocharge your workflows with more performance options and continuous real-time parameter control.Meld: a bi-timbral, MPE-capable instrument that unlocks deep sound shaping for creating experimental textures and tones with two macro oscillatorsGranulator III: an MPE-capable upgrade of Robert Henke's granular instrument with expressive control over your parameters and real-time audio captureRoar: a coloration and saturation effect that ranges from subtle, mastering-grade warmth to complete sonic decimation with series, parallel, mid-side, and multiband configurationsNew Modulation Behavior: modulations are no longer taken over by the modulation source, so you can continue to tweak a modulated parameter even after assigning an LFO or other modulation source to itLost and Found: a character-infused collection of sounds crafted from unusual materials, percussive trinkets, unique foley recordings, and expressive objectsPerformance Pack: a set of innovative devices from Iftah that really push Live's boundaries by allowing you to capture snapshots of your sets and deploy them later, control multiple parameters with layered macros and curves, extend performances with looping in Arrangement View, and prearrange the structure of a performance before you record itTons of powerful new featuresAbleton really stepped up their game with Live 12, introducing a bunch of great new features. If you've used previous versions of Live, then you're definitely going to want to check these out.MIDI Transformations: add variations to your MIDI clips, such as creating ornamental articulations, drawing acceleration and deceleration curves, connecting successive notes and chords, and simulating strummingMIDI Generators: craft melodies, chords, and rhythms by using the new MIDI Generators to create engaging patternsMax for Live MIDI Tools: experiment with Max in completely new ways with the new MIDI Transformations and MIDI GeneratorsMIDI Editing Improvements: arrange the order of a selection of notes by pitch, velocity, or duration to conjure up exciting new sonic concoctionsKeys and Scales: set the selected clip's scale in Live's Control Bar to see its notes in any clip you create, then edit the clip using scale highlighting as a guide, use the clip scale to transform and generate musical ideas, or sync the scale of MIDI devices and instruments to the clip being playedExpanded Probability: assign a single probability rule to a group of notes so that the entire group of notes is played whenever the trigger is firedEmbrace and Explore Tunings: easily access alternate tuning systems — even those outside of the 12-note equal temperament systemStack Live's Detail Views: view your devices and the Clip Editor or automation at the same time for distraction-free toggling between viewsMixer in Arrangement: Live's Mixer can now be viewed in the Arrangement Window instead of only in the Session WindowBrowser Tagging and Filtered Searches: search for sounds in the Browser without the constraints of Live's built-in categorizationSound Similarity Search: easily find comparable sounds and instrument presets to any other sampleDrum Rack Swapping: instantly swap out the samples in your Drum Rack for similar ones to audition new percussive textures

An ideal DAW for creative artistsFrom the beginning, Ableton Live has been as much a creative tool as a DAW. This duality essentially has to do with the way Live lets you construct tracks and play with audio in real time. There are two main parts to Live: the Arrangement View and the Session View. The Arrangement View is more or less a standard linear DAW, with time on the X axis and tracks on the Y axis. Where Live differs from other DAWs is its Session View, which puts individual tracks on the X axis and scenes on the Y axis. Each scene contains a slot on each channel for a clip. Clips are usually short pieces of audio or MIDI, a few measures longer or shorter, that loop to create grooves. Launched individually, these loops let you experiment with your arrangements, trying out various combinations of grooves and riffs.Since everything from modern electronic music to classic rock and blues is heavily based on repeating sections, Live's Session View makes it an ideal creative tool for all kinds of songwriters. In fact, the songwriting tools don't stop there. In addition to launching individual clips, you can launch entire scenes, complete with automatic advancement to subsequent scenes, scene repeat instructions, and other logic options.Using scenes makes it easy to arrange entire songs in parts (verse, chorus, etc.). When you record your progression to the linear Arrangement View, you add the possibility to record lead lines and other performances that fall outside the rest of the song structure. What's more, all of the loop-/riff-based arrangement options are still available on the timeline, so you can continue to edit and build on your song even after you record it to the Session View.All of the standard DAW functions you needIn addition to the standard linear Session View, Ableton Live comes loaded with every standard DAW function you need. Nondestructive multitrack recording at up to 32-bit/192kHz is the beginning. You get powerful mixing and signal-flow tools such as bussing and return tracks. VST and AU plug-in formats fit right into your workflow, right alongside the wonderful tools bundled with Live. Live's MIDI sequencing capabilities are second to none, and easy access to automation curves, MIDI learn, and more make this a total DAW powerhouse.Raising the bar on standard included contentIn the ever-escalating battle to provide the most content for the money, Sweetwater can confidently say that Ableton Live 12 Standard more than holds its own. Packed with more than 38GB of content, including 13 software instruments, 42 audio effects, and 13 MIDI effects, Live 10 Standard is no joke.

Sequoia is your leading solution for professional audio production. From the recording room to the mastering desk – stability, seamless processing and innovative editing features are key to engineers worldwide. Our partners, which include Europe's most prominent broadcasters, rely on its scalable, flexible network and hardware integration. Your Tools For Audio Production Sequoia's feature set covers every step of your daily production tasks. Check out the core functions based on our solutions' workflow categories. Get in contact for a complete list of features. Metering And Matching Loudness Metering in Sequoia The metering display in Sequoia enables you to work with absolute precision. Access a range of visual layouts and set up your own private "cockpit" with different metering indicators. The following presets are also available for radio and TV broadcast norms: Type I, DIN scale - Type I, Nordic scale Type IIA, BBC -Type IIB, EBU. True peak metering Due to the inaccuracies of a sample peak meter, it's not possible to avoid clipping or distortion in the analog output if the individual samples in the original aren't at full scale. So, a normal peak meter cannot represent "real" peak values. Inter-sample peaks identified by oversampling by a factor of 4 can now be displayed and allow you to see "real" peaks. Loudness metering This plug-in enables you to adjust loudness and dynamics in accordance with international broadcasting standards EBU R128 und ITU-R BS.1770 for TV and radio programs. In Sequoia, you can switch between EBU R128 and ITU-R BS.1771 loudness measuring on the fly. Loudness normalization Normalize objects and audio files in accordance with broadcast standards. Loudness normalization can also be applied to the batch processing feature. This allows a large number of files to be adjusted to the target loudness value automatically. Automatic loudness normalization is optional for stereo audio export to broadcast databases. Dynamic limiting Dynamic limiting is now part of the loudness normalization dialog and enables the limiting of object dynamics in order to even out loudness variation within the audio material. Calculate loudness Calculate the loudness of the entire project or the selected range. The calculated values are displayed in a text dialog. This dialog also contains the option "Correct program loudness with master volume", which adjusts the volume using the stereo master or Surround master. Loudness data export Set the options for the loudness calculation for the file manager, for track bouncing and for database export. XML files are created during exporting, bouncing, batch processing or calculating loudness values. During saving loudness values can also be written as BWF files which are compliant with EBU Tech 3285. Multi-User Handling Network dongles Each CodeMeter dongle can make its network licenses usable on other workstations. To reduce the amount of administrative work when using multiple licenses in a company, Sequoia offers network dongles with any desired amount of network licenses which can be accessed by any desired number of workstations. This can make it a lot easier to upgrade firmware and software. User administration The local user administration allows the administrator to grant or deny users access to certain hard drives. Sequoia may also be set up so that users can change program options while they are working, but the software will open with the administrator settings the next time it is launched. All Sequoia system settings can be saved in a container file to make it easy to transfer settings from one computer to another. When you put Sequoia on a new system, you can decide which settings to transfer (e.g. general settings, display settings, window positions, project templates, etc.). Network login Container files can also be used for network login, where they are stored in a network path to serve as user or group profile images. This lets you centrally manage all user profiles on a server. Users can log in on any workstation in the network with their personal settings. It's also possible to start off with the default settings on every new network login or to automatically transfer settings changes to the network profile. All these features make it easy for administrators to set up and manage even a large number of workstations. Cleaning And Restoring Spectral Cleaning Especially useful for post-editing live recordings and interviews containing noises from moving chairs, cell phones and coughing: Audio disturbances can be easily selected for removal with the mouse. Elements that have gone missing from the original frequency spectrum are recalculated into the recording using interpolation or transitions from the surrounding usable signal. Threshold range editing and logarithmic display As part of the Spectral Cleaning you can limit interpolation to certain amplitudes in the spectrum. Specific notes can be removed from the spectrum without influencing background signals. Quieter or louder signal components outside the area will not be affected. The logarithmic display allows you to change the spectrum view from linear to logarithmic. Switch to logarithmic display when working in low frequency ranges for improved display of the ranges and to enable precise changes in the material. Steinberg SpectraLayers Pro 7 The external audio editor visualizes the frequency spectrum in layers and enables a whole new workflow for restoration, sound design and mixing. Intuitive operation, high performance audio engine and audio editing in 3D make SpectraLayers Pro one of the world’s most revolutionary spectral editing platforms. DeHisser The DeHisser is an additional noise removal tool which eliminates regular, low-level "white" noise, typically produced by recordings, microphone pre-amplifiers or transformers. Unlike with the DeNoiser, a sample of the distortion is not required. DeClipper The De-clipper is a tool for removing clipping and distortions. Passages with clipping are recalculated, i.e. interpolated, based on the material immediately surrounding them. The DeClipping algorithm is suitable for material with clearly audible clipping, e.g. distorted piano or vocals. DeNoiser Using "noise prints", the DeNoiser contained in Sequoia can remove distracting elements with little to no effect on the audio signal itself. For example, you can select the noise print of an air conditioning unit and calculate the noisy signal in your audio material in real time, allowing you to restore one-of-a-kind recordings in no time at all. Brilliance enhancer In contrast to an equalizer, which only raises existing frequencies, the Brilliance Enhancer recalculates new overtones from the remaining signal and markedly refreshes the sound. The Brilliance Enhancer is particularly effective when used as a mastering effect for pop and rock songs to increase transparency and brilliance. DeClicker/DeCrackler The DeClicker removes crackling and individual clicking noises, which are typical on scratched records. The DeCrackler has been specifically developed to remove crackling noises from old records. The signal display shows you the edited material as a continuous waveform or a spectrogram. In the display, you can see at which position the DeClicker and the DeCrackler have intervened. Preparing Productions For Release MP3/AAC preview plug-in Preview projects that you plan to export as AAC or MP3 using the encoder settings. You can change the export settings directly in the dialog window. During the mastering process you have the option of taking the idiosyncrasies of the encoder into account and adjusting the quality relative to the requirements (e.g. "Mastered for iTunes"). CD/DVD mastering CDs produced and burned with Sequoia are 100% Red Book-compatible and can be sent directly for pressing. CDs can be configured to include copy protection, UPC/EAN, ISRC, pre-emphasis, and CD text. Audio material with higher sample rates may be burned in stereo or Surround to audio DVDs. DDP import/export Sequoia supports professional file exchange between mastering studios and pressing plants. It's also possible to import DDP masters for editing or to compare them to the original project. Use the Sonoris DDP player to playback tracks and track transitions, see all PQ codes, ISRC, MCN and CD text data, and automatically check projects for RedBook compatibility. Sharing Projects And Multi-Format Files Batch processing for watch folders Batch export multiple files at once. Define and trigger different export tasks altogether. Significantly reduce production time - batch processing specified through Batch XML can now be done in watch folders. Any files dropped in will be converted immediately. Project import and export Sequoia offers integrated OMF/AAF support, making it possible to exchange projects between programs and platforms. AAF is the preferred exchange format due to its larger feature set and open documentation. Hassle-free exchange of Ambisonics data with different software is granted. Video import and export Sequoia supports most standard audio and video formats. Sequoia also make it possible to edit video material for dubbing and post-production. Multiple videos can be loaded into Sequoia natively. Make sure you use uncompressed (or minimally compressed) formats, since positioning and editing these is much faster. Surround 3D Reverb 3D Reverb is a unique and powerful algorithmic reverb. It creates the sound of a wide variety of acoustic spaces from small rooms to large concert halls. It works equally well in stereo and 3D multichannel applications with up to 10 audio channels natively. The input signals are passed into the virtual room according to their 3D panning, which directly supports the spatial impression of surround sound mixes. 3D Surround Panner The clear view dialog allows for intuitive control when positioning highs in virtual sound sources. The positioning of the spatial axis can be automatized in both track and object. New VBAP positioning mode ("Vector Base Amplitude Panning") enables users to create Surround setup phantom sources with high sound localization acuity. VBAP can be used independently of the number of virtual speakers and in either 2D or 3D setup. Surround tracks Sequoia supports the use of any number of Surround masters in a single project, and up to 32 channels per track. No matter the channel count you can always create a stereo downmix as well. Level components for Surround channels can also be freely determined. Accessibility The accessibility of our products is of the utmost importance to us – especially in the domain of audio, since many visually impaired people have a heightened sense of hearing. We want everyone to be able to use our audio products to their fullest potential, with as few limitations as possible. For this reason, we've integrated features to assist blind and visually impaired users into versions of Sequoia from Version 13.

 Το Grand 3 φέρνει εντελώς διαφορετικά μοντέλα πιάνων από τους 2 προκατόχους του, χτίζοντας έτσι ακόμα περισσότερο στο όνομα που έχει τα τελευταία χρόνια. Εκτός από τα καινούρια πιάνα όμως, για το το Grand 3 έχει χρησιμοποιηθεί εξελιγμένη αρχιτεκτονική δειγμάτων και οι τελευταιες τεχνολογίες ηχογράφησης, ετσι ώστε να επιτευχθεί ακόμα πιο αυθεντική ακουστική εικόνα και ρεαλιστική αίσθηση.Το Grand 3 διαθέτει τρία καταπληκτικά πιάνα με ουρά με πλούσιο και ρεαλιστικό ήχο. Το Yamaha C7 είναι η επιλογή του καλλιτέχνη. Ο ήχος του προσφέρει πραγματικά συναυλιακό ήχο και εμπειρία, ενώ ο εκφραστικός τόνος του Bosendorfer 290 Imperial προσφέρει ένα μουσικό εύρος που δεν συναντάται σε άλλα πιάνα. Επίσης ο εξεραιτικός ήχος, η απόκριση και η κορυφαία συμπεριφορά παιξίματος του Steinway D έχουν προστεθεί έτσι ώστε να ολοκληρώσουν τη μοναδική συλλογή grand pianos του Grand 3.Το Grand 3 όμως δε σταματα εδώ. Το Yamaha CP80 Electric Grand έχει ήχο που το καθιστά άμεσα αναγνωρίσιμο. Το όρθιο Nordiska Pianofabriken έχει ηχογραφηθεί και σχεδιαστεί για όχι τόσο «κλασσικά» είδη μουσικής. Ο ήχος του είναι ιδανικός για pop και jazz μουσική.Επίσης το Grand 3 έχει ενσωματωμένο ένα convolution reverb που χρησιμοποιεί την ίδια τεχνολογία με το REVerence, το πρώτο VST 3 convolution reverb που περιέχεται στο Cubase 5. Με απίστευτες εξομιώσεις χώρων, από το μικρότερο συναυλιακό χώρο, μέχρι και τους εντυπωσιακότερους καθεδρικούς ναούς.Για την λειτουργία του προγράμματος απαιτείται η προσθήκη του Steinberg Key.
