Magix Sequoia 11 Multitrack Recording & Editing Software Details
Sequoia is purely native PC software and therefore independent of
proprietary audio hardware. Basically, that means the program works
just as well on a laptop as on an audio workstation with dozens of
inputs and outputs.
Hardware Independent, you can simply pre-produce your interviews on a laptop and then complete them later using a studio system.
Sequoia provides all of the freedom you need to choose your own system. MME, ASIO, and WDM support all important driver models. Save valuable time with your radio productions via seamless linking
to radio content management systems from DAVID Systems and VCS. Swap
individual files at the press of a button or even manage entire Sequoia
projects in databases. When connected with our user management and
administrator functions, Sequoia is perfectly suited for integration
into networks and digital workflows.
For more involved (multi-track) editing, Sequoia offers unique features
like multi-synchronous cut, a consistent further development of the
source/destination editing model, including a convenient crossfade
editor. Sequoia is capable of using multi-track projects to burn Red
Book.compatible master CDs. These CDs may even feature to copy
protection, UPC/EAN, ISRC codes, pre-emphasis, and CD text. Formats for
transferring the project to the vinyl press include DDP or wave export
including cue list. For post-production, the option to use the audio input from the sound
card for synchronizing Sequoia with the local external timecode is also
available.
AAF / OMF support enables projects to be exchanged between platforms quickly. After a film has been dubbed, Sequoia can be used to produce a visual
copy without the need for additional programs. The video can be
exported from Sequoia in different formats including the finished
mixing.
Sequoia has been an integral part of leading broadcast and mastering
studios worldwide for years, including WDR, MDR, SWR, the Vienna
Symphonic Library, and Sterling Sound in New York. The range of
functionality makes Sequoia the perfect choice for for any kind of
media production. Ideal for home and project studios, sound engineers,
music producers, and radio journalists, Sequoia offers registered users
professional service, customer-oriented support, an exclusive forum,
and free support
By the way: The "Cleaning & Restoration Suite" for perfectly
restoring audio data and the support of AAF and OMF files are already
contained in Sequoia.
Source- / destination editing
Sequoia
includes a professional 4-point editing function. The method is
especially effective and intuitive, since it connects the advantages of
a linear audio editing studio with those of a non-linear hard disk
system.
Two display areas let you view and play back source and destination
tracks simultaneously and independently of each other. The lower area
of the screen (source) displays the source material, i.e. all of the
recorded material and takes.
The upper area displays the target tracks (destination). The cut
material is arranged here with the mouse or keyboard. You always retain
control of the whole project by being able to navigate in the source
material while playback is running in the destination area. The actual editing takes place via markers. In and out markers in the
source indicate the material that should be copied into the destination
after a cut command.
This method may be used to quickly realize steps that would otherwise
be very time-consuming, e.g. replacement of a passage in a finished
multi-track edit with a version that may be played slightly longer. For
source/destination, only in/out markers in the source and destination. The edit command inserts the correct passage and moves the remaining
audio material synchronously across all tracks to the new edges of the
cut. Advanced crossfade editor
The crossfade editor controls every parameter of a crossfade. All crossfades are calculated in real time, i.e. changes to a crossfade
are immediate and may be played back without and intermediate saving or
waiting time. The keyboard and menu commands for operating the
crossfade editor may be configured freely and enable users to work
however they prefer.
For example, fade curves and lengths can be changed, different playback
commands may be applied to the positions of the fades in the audio
material in order to evaluate transitions as a best as possible, to
quickly compare fade variations via snapshots.
Multi-synchronus editing
Multi-Synchronous
cutting, i.e. MuSyC, completes and supports the conventional method of
editing an audio recording, especially for classical music. Imagine MuSyC as an assistant for the editing process. You may work
normally with the Source Destination Cut, but the functions of the
MuSyC system are available at any time.
The goal of MuSyC is to minimize time spent searching for similar passages of music, thereby accelerating the editing process. MuSyC enhances working with source and destination projects with an
overview project. If a passage of music has been recorded multiple
times, then these will be available in the source as multiple takes.
The overview project primarily serves for navigating in the source.
Each take is represented by its own object. Musically equal material is
organized in parallel and temporally ideal. This allows takes to be
switched exactly according to the sound while an alternative recording
is monitored as an overview.
If the active track (i.e. the active take) is switched in the overview
project, the playback position and the "source points" will be
automatically synchronized in the respective source project.
