Instruments for sound, built to last.

I

WaveShaper brings equalisation, effects, dynamics and mastering into one considered signal chain. Each stage has its own workspace, so a decision made at the equaliser remains legible when you reach the limiter.

• The Equaliser. 32, 64, 125, 250 and 500 Hz, then 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 kHz, each with a Q factor from 0.1 to 10.
• Presets. Twenty-four genre presets, eleven utility presets and nine specialised presets.
• Effects. Five algorithms including phase vocoder and harmonic-percussive separation.
• Dynamics. Ratio from 1:1 to 20:1, threshold to −60 dB, attack from 1 to 500 ms, makeup gain to 24 dB and a parallel mix.

MetaEdit Plus is a metadata workstation for audio and video collections. It combines direct field editing with reviewed batch operations, complete artwork collections, filename automation, provider-assisted identification, library analysis, lyrics, chapters, loudness measurement and guarded automation.

• Editing. Shared values across the checked files, or a separate staged state for each.
• Review Before Write. Editor values, artwork, provider choices, lyrics, ReplayGain, rules and imports all pass through one review.
• Identification. Auto Tag identifies a single recording by its acoustic fingerprint, or maps the files of an album to the tracks of a chosen release.
• Text, Patterns and Rules. Literal or regular-expression replacement, whole-word matching, prefixes and suffixes, case conversion and whitespace normalisation.
