Hardware controller automation

Adjust mix and effects parameters using external control devices, and record all your changes in real time.

Effects chain on all channels, buses, and master

Add effects to the master channel and hear the results even before mixing down to a single file.

Real-time input monitoring

Listen to your audio inputs through the software, including effects applied to the input track. Then modify parameters after recording, if desired.

Quick Punch

Quickly fix recording errors by punching in corrections on-the-fly as you rerecord: Toggle the record button to punch in your new take only where you want it to replace the old one. Punch in and out as many times as you want.

Unlimited number of tracks in Multitrack View

Record, edit, and mix any number of stereo tracks in Multitrack View.
