The Top 3 Editors for Musicians Rob Mayzes The Top 3 Editors for Musicians www.musicianonamission.com Musician on a Mission If you are a musician who records at home… This guide is for you. But first, I want you to answer this question. Why are you looking for an audio editor? If you just want to cut the beginning or end of an audio file… Or make some minor edits to somebody elses music… Then skip past this section. BUT, if you want to record something, or create your OWN music… ​ ​ You need a DAW (digital audio workstation). Audio editors are built for simple tasks and small edits. They aren’t designed for recording, editing, mixing and producing music. So - if you think you might need a DAW, I recommend Logic Pro (Mac) or Studio One (Windows & Mac). If not, and you just want a simple audio editor, keep reading… 1 Musician on a Mission Audacity (Windows, Mac, Linux) This is the most popular audio editor, and my top recommendation. In fact, you can also record and mix music with this (to an extent). It looks a bit ancient, but it gets the job done. This is an awesome starting point for anyone wanting a free editor. Link: ​Audacity 2 Musician on a Mission WavePad (Windows, Mac, iPad, Android) Not as popular as Audacity, but it has some useful features. Why is this number 2? Because it does batch processing - and that’s awesome. You can apply compression, reverb, EQ or any effect to a number of audio files at once. This can save you HOURS in the right situation. Link: ​WavePad 3 Musician on a Mission Hya-Wave (Chrome) This is a member of the new wave of online audio editors that run in your internet browser. And it’s my favourite of that bunch. Browser based DAWs could be the future of audio editing. There are several out there for music composition already and now more audio editors are appearing too. This is ideal if you are recording or editing on the fly and don’t want to install large programme onto your laptop. Link: ​Hya-Wave 4 .

    APRIL 201 7 APRIL 2 017 USA $5.99 CANADA $5.99 VOL. THIRTY NUMBER SEVEN One of the important additions to the Mixcraft audio REVISITED engine is its support of VST3 plug-ins. Long supported by Steinberg and others, the VST3 infrastructure puts plug-in makers in the position to create much more flexible tools. VST3 support improves the performance, auto- mation capability, and routing functions of plug-ins. It’s supported by iZotope, Waves, and Softube— among many others, and with many more likely to follow. Moving forward with technology is important for DAW users, and it is great to see Mixcraft supporting this forward-looking standard. The UI has also undergone a revamp, with interface skins based on theme selection. More important, in my experience, is that the interface just seems to work better with the HiDPI display on my Lenovo display. This is important, since a comfortable work environment can help you enjoy the hours that you will spend on your productions. I personally like the default dark interface; it is similar to other software that I use each day, and my eyes are able to Acoustica pick out details against its muted background. Another update to the UI is not a technical feature, but rather Mixcraft 8 an extension to the way that you access audio files. In addition to accessing the files on your drive, you can do filename searches to quickly narrow down your options (critical when The Windows DAW “for the people” you have a large sample library—like the one that comes has grown up..

  • Interview Matthias Juwan
    Studio One inventor Matthias Juwan in conversation Created by Lukas Ruschitzka When I learned about the »new« DAW for the first time at the Musikmesse 2009, I still had no idea what would connect me to this software over the next 10 years. One year later, in the summer of 2010, I had version 1 on the hard drive and star- ted producing my first song with Studio One. Now - almost a decade and hundreds of Studio One projects later - I did not miss the opportunity to ask Matthias Juwan, Studio One mastermind and CTO at Pre- Sonus Software a few questions about the creation and development of Studio One. In doing so, I have incorporated both my own questions and questions that have arisen in the RECORDING.de forum in recent years. I hope you enjoy reading the unabridged interview with Matthias Juwan! Matthias, Studio One will be 10 years old this year! In 2009 everyone was wonde- ring what they needed a new DAW for. Meanwhile, Studio One has become indispensable in the DAW market. What was the trigger for you to program the first prototype of Studio One? Everything started for me a few years earlier. When I released my 16-track freeware sequencer Kristal Audio Engine in 2004, there was a lot of positive feedback from the internet community and the press, and I decided to work on a more professional suc- cessor. The project ran for two years in my spare time in addition to the job as a soft- ware developer at Steinberg under the code name K2.
