Waveform Pro What's New

NEW in 12.5

Video

Video clips can now be dragged and dropped directly into an Edit, either from the Waveform browser or from any folder on your hard drive. In 12.5 you're no longer limited to working with a single video clip. You can drag, arrange and work with multiple clips per edit and the scalable thumbnailed clips make it easy to identify scenes at a glance. Easily extract audio from the video clip and utilize a multitude of exporting options designed to accelerate your tasks.

Smart
DJ Tools

If you're familiar with DJ software you'll be used to seeing coloured waveforms. In 12.5 you can toggle this view on or off with the click of a button. When clips are dragged into an edit they are automatically tempo synced, providing seamless playback at the project tempo. This is perfect if you're creating DJ edits or remixes. The addition of multipole DJ oriented FX and tools have been added to allow you to explore non performance mixing, mashups and remixes.

Split
To Stems

And to take this DJ/Remix workflow a step further we’ve added Stem Separation. Simply right-click on an audio clip and select Split to Stems. Here you can either split a stereo mix into 4 components or choose to extract specific elements like the vocal or just the drums. Working with stems provides the control and creative options you need when mixing or remixing.

General Improvements

There are numerous improvements throughout Waveform 12.5 that further improve the operability and stability of the environment. Some of these improvements include the following: It is possible to set a plugin within a rack as 'Default'. When set as default, opening the Rack form the mixer will open the plugin UI instead. This eliminates the need to open the rack and locate the plugin each time you need to make an adjustment. The position of active loop points can now be moved backwards and forwards in time. Simply hold "shift" and drag one of the loop markers or hold "shift + cmd/ctrl" and drag the loop section in the timeline.
