VALUE FOR MONEY
Making Waves products offer more functionality and performance per pound than
any other virtual studio product. How can we do this? As an independent
developer we don’t have expensive staff to pay or greedy shareholders to satisfy
and this has always been reflected in our pricing, FREE lifetime support and
update policies.
EASE OF USE
The Making Waves Audio team has been together for ten years resulting in
software that is streamlined, highly productive and intuitive to use - unlike
other products that are becoming ‘over-engineered’ to the point of being almost
impossible to use. MW products are used worldwide by thousands of customers of
all ages and abilities. Their feedback helps us shape the software’s features
and development, and ensures our products are 100% suited to the needs of our
users.
“There’s nothing with quite the same blend of loop manipulation, pattern
creation, audio recording and MIDI sequencing at a comparable price.”

AUDIO POWER & QUALITY
MW has one of the most powerful high-quality sample engines available. MW AUDIO
supports ‘Floating Point’ playback and recording up to a maximum of 192kHz /
16Bit and will allow file conversion and export up to 32Bit. The PRO and STUDIO
versions will support playback and recording up to 192kHz / 32Bit. All interim
audio resolutions are also covered, so any audio device you have will be fully
utilised. All versions allow stereo recording and playback whilst PRO and STUDIO
also support multi I/O soundcards for multi-track recording and playback.
Zero Latency playback support is provided for all soundcards using our own
proprietary audio buffering system so no annoying delay is experienced when
playing virtual instruments, even when using a lower spec soundcard.
THE SEQUENCER
MW can support up to 1000 tracks for sequencing, though a typical arrangement
requires only a small percentage of the available tracks. Audio samples, audio
loops, mp3’s, virtual instruments and midi sounds can all be sequenced along
with any effects that are to be used in the composition. The MW sequencer has
one of the quickest and easiest interfaces to master.
Arrangements within the sequencer can be edited and changed during playback
including the addition / removal of effects, note arrangement edits and overdubs
giving the user total creative freedom and control over compositions. The Track
Tools facility allows users to drag and drop in-progress audio projects from MW
into other applications - for example into a dedicated audio editor for
additional specialised processing.

SEQUENCING OPTIONS
All MW versions support 4 general sequencing modes- Single Play, Note,
Percussion and Loop. A brief explanation of these modes can be found below. It
is important to remember that any song arrangement can be composed using some or
all of these modes simultaneously. MW also supports further creative sequencing
options including: Beat Splicer & Cut-off, both of which are explained later on
in the Product Tour.
SINGLE PLAY
This can be any sound source and will be played back by the sequencer with no
pitch or tempo correction applied. Perfect for adding sample sounds and effects.
NOTES
The MW note arrangement facility allows Wav, Mp3, Vsti, and Midi sounds/notes to
be arranged over six octaves and provides total control over all the necessary
parameters including envelope for attack, decay, sustain and release of audio
samples.
All note information can be input via the mouse, or played ‘live’ or in ‘step
time’ via midi or standard pc keyboards – all with zero latency. Using a midi
keyboard to input a sequence will also capture the velocity of every note you
play.
A number of additional creative arrangement tools are also provided including an
arpeggiator and chord toolbox, with presets to help boost productivity.
