AUDIO RECYCLING
Making Waves ‘BEAT SPLICER’ facility breaks samples down into their component
parts over a timeline and allows the user the to re-construct the sample in any
order they wish.
BAR EDITING
Bar editing can be carried out directly in the sequencer window and allows audio
already loaded into the sequencer to be re-arranged a bar at a time e.g. bar 1
of a 4 bar loop could be repeated 4 times instead of simply playing back bars
1,2,3,4 in sequence. Any bar can be played back in any order - great for adding
minor changes to musical events.
CUT OFF / BREAK-BEAT TOOL
This very simple yet highly effective tool allows silence patterns to be applied
to audio samples and sequences. No tool makes it easier to create this powerful
‘break-beat’ effect.
MULTI-SAMPLING
Sample sets can be created with ease by placing samples on different notes of a
keyboard. A single click will automatically load a folder of samples across the
keyboard in the correct pitch order. This is also great for creating percussion
sets or entire drum kits which can be saved and recalled into any song.
DJ / ‘LIVE’ MODE
This facility calibrates any changes made during playback with the tempo of the
song. Numerous samples can be loaded up simultaneously without interrupting the
music. Any changes made, such as edits and manipulation of effects will be heard
on the first beat of the bar, regardless of how well you time your changes.
BEAT TAPPER
Ideal for DJs and remixers, this tool allows you to manually set your song BPM
for imported audio files, e.g. songs recorded from vinyl. These will then be
synchronised to any additional tracks added to your mix.
IN SONG NAVIGATION
The ease with which songs can be created and expanded quickly fills the computer
screen, so as with most music software, it becomes impossible to see all the
tracks at once. To prevent confusion in larger projects, MW allows the user to
categorize tracks into colour coded ‘sections’ and name them accordingly (e.g.
drums, vocals, synthesisers etc.). Additionally, ‘book-marks’ containing
descriptive text can be added at different time points throughout the song. The
zoom control allows the entire song to be viewed graphically.
CUSTOM GUI
Making Waves’ user interface can be customised to suit any taste or application.
Using the tools provided, users can change colours and bitmaps as they wish. A
selection of example ‘skins’ is included and additional files can be downloaded.
