DIE MENSCH-MASCHINE  What can I say about Wave Editor? Plenty!!! If you've ever used Sound Designer 2 then had to switch to Peak, and are longer for the glory days of SD2, you're in luck! Wave Editor picks up where SD2 left off and leaves the rest in digital dust! For starters, all keyboard commands are assignable so you can feel comfortable using it however YOU want to and not how the programmer thought you should. Making a Region Playlist of all your edits is as easy as drag 'n' drop. Want to change BPMs without changing the pitch? No problem! You can do it using the slider, percentage, or good ol' fashioned numerics (i.e. 120 bpm to 135 bpm) and the end result is even better than Prosoniq's "Time Factory". The newest and coolest feature is Layering. You can take a soundfile and literally "layer" one on top of another and even adjust the volume. If you like what you hear then you can "flatten" the two together creating one complete file AND you can do that as many times as you want! You can even record to your hard disk, make crossfades, save your files in multiple formats, color code regions, ...the possibilities are virtually endless! There are way too many features to write about here but this is going to be THE Macintosh editing product for the rest of 2005 and beyond. If you have a Mac that's running 10.4 (that's the minimum requirement) go to their website and try it out for 15 days. You don't even need any extra hardware to run it. Just download it, place it in your Applications folder, and you're done!
