The Software Audio Workshop (SAW), one of the best values in professional hard disk editing and multi-track mixing systems for the PC, has gotten even better!
SAW Plus represents the next generation of digital hard disk editing software from Innovative Quality Software. Now the power of SAW's award-winning design has been enhanced to meet the needs of the most demanding audio professionals.
SAW Plus extends the power of the Software Audio Workshop to a maximum of sixteen (16) mono or stereo tracks of simultaneous, live playback on any Windows-compatible sound card(s) (a maximum of 32 tracks of real-time playback with no additional proprietary hardware required, depending solely on the speed of the computer system). It provides automatic live blending of different file formats (mono, stereo, 8-bit, 16-bit, etc.), live sample rate conversion and supports user-assignable, multiple sound card outputs.
Each track has controls for level, mute, solo, pan, effects patching and output assignments. SAW Plus contains several software-based processing tools including a seven band "para-graphic" equalizer, noise gate, compressor, limiter, peak limiter and echo effects.
The stunning user interface is finely crafted, using realistic, 3-D graphics and features true "drag and drop" editing. The program has many new innovations that greatly enhance the already tremendous power of its predecessor. SAW Plus delivers power, speed, efficiency, & design elegance like no other editor to date... and best of all... it does it for a fraction of the cost you would expect to pay.
SAW Plus promises to be the digital audio workstation of choice for thousands of studios, broadcast facilities, theatres, corporate facilities, musicians, educational institutions, multimedia authors, video post production facilities and other audio professionals around the world!
Don't be mislead by all the hype. More and more digital audio workstation solutions are appearing all the time. Beware of long lists of menu item features that either trash the audio data or take hours to process, rendering them useless. When making a decision about what system to use, don't forget, SAW Plus is a REAL-TIME, MULTI-TRACK system! SAW Plus handles extremely large files with ease. Check how long it takes to record, edit, save and load these files, mark regions, build multiple tracks, slide regions and preview (and process) things like equalization, echo, compression and limiting. These are some of the most common tasks usually repeated often in a normal session. SAW Plus' speed and efficiency allow you to accomplish a task as soon as your creative juices conjure up the idea. SAW Plus can save you many times the cost of the program in a very short period, perhaps even in one session!
If you have been intrigued by hard disk editing but have put off buying a system because of the high cost or the complexity and sluggishness of the systems you have seen, SAW Plus is for you!
Throw away the belief that hard disk editing is complex to learn! Throw away the belief that hard disk editing is slow! And most of all... Throw away the belief that hard disk editing is expensive!
The Software Audio Workshop changed all that! Now, SAW Plus truly brings the power of high-end digital audio editing to every desktop PC. SAW Plus allows you to easily record and edit up to 16 mono or stereo tracks of 16-bit resolution CD and DAT-quality sound files directly to your computer's hard drive. What's more, it supports up to four stereo sound cards and automatically converts 8-bit, 16-bit, mono or stereo files of any sample rate, playing them all seamlessly in sync. LIVE...IN REAL-TIME! The elegance of the SAW Plus design offers unmatched efficiency in taking a project from conception to completion.
