About Pro Audio
Pro Audio is the ßagship product of the Cakewalk line of integrated
MIDI and digital audio sequencers for the Windows platform. Pro Audio
has a comprehensive feature set that makes it the single most
productive tool for sound and music authoring. Here are some of the
ways you can use Pro Audio.
Music Composition and Exploration
Pro Audio is a powerful music-composition tool, providing tools to record
your own musical performances; enhance or improve the quality of
those performances; and edit, arrange, and experiment with the music.
With a few simple clicks of the mouse, you can arrange, orchestrate, and
audition your composition. Fully integrated sequencing allows you to
combine the convenience and ßexibility of MIDI composition with the
high-quality sound and subtlety of digital audio sound recording and
reproduction. Change the feel of a piece by locking it to a musical
groove, or add delicate delays, anticipations, or echoes that add richness
to the music.
Pro Audio displays and lets you edit your music using standard musical
notation and guitar tablature, so you can adjust individual notes, add
performance markings, and print individual parts or full scores. You can
graphically draw tempo and volume changes, or add lyrics to display on-
screen or to include with printed scores.
Game Sound Development
ThereÕs no better tool than Pro Audio for composing music for electronic
games. Clip-based sequencing lets you create and reuse musical themes
freely, so you can associate musical sections with game characters,
locations, objects, and actions. Your creations can be saved and replayed
using the compact MIDI Þle format, which adapts its sound
automatically to the target hardware for the best possible sound
reproduction.
Sound Production and Engineering
If you want to produce music CDs or master tapes, Pro Audio has
virtually everything you need from recording to mixing and mastering.
Multichannel recording lets you capture studio or live performances
track by track. Pitch correction lets you adjust vocals or create
harmonies Òon the ßy.Ó ReconÞgurable buses provide full control over
your mix. Real-time stereo effects like chorus, ßange, reverb, parametric
EQ, and delay/echo can be applied as track inserts, in effects loops, or to
the master mix. Pro Audio supports 44.1 KHz sampling for CD-quality
