What's New in Music Creator 7
Music Creator 7 now includes many exciting, easy-to-understand new features that allow even beginners to obtain professional-sounding results.
Hi-Def Control Bar
Regardless of screen size, the new Hi-Def Control Bar makes it even easier to access your most frequently used controls. With clearer text, and better auto spacing, the new Control Bar makes creating music an absolute joy on the eyes. And with dynamic resizing, your Control Bar will always look good regardless of your PC screen’s resolution.
Onscreen Virtual Controller
Programming MIDI synth lines and beats has never been more fun, thanks to the new onscreen virtual MIDI controller—play your parts right from your touch screen with any multi-touch compatible monitor or PC. You can also use any QWERTY keyboard, so you don’t need to carry around a separate hardware MIDI controller.
MixStrip
The new MixStrip, integrated directly into Music Creator’s Track View, makes it easy to achieve superior mixes in less time. The MixStrip includes the built-in, high-quality Curve EQ on every track, and the new Style Dial FX offer speedy, one-knob access to the most commonly used effects including:
GRIT: Tube warmth mixed in with modern amp overdrive
MAX: Transparent track leveler and compressor for everyday use
SPACE: Dynamically shaped ambience control for small to huge sounds.
Improved Audio Editing
Music Creator 7 now features Cakewalk’s unique “speed comping,” so you can assemble a perfect performance from multiple takes with a simple swipe of the mouse – ideal for vocals and guitar solos. And you’ll be clicking less than ever thanks to the Smart Tool, which adapts to your workflow - whether you’re editing audio or MIDI data. Also, editing is a snap with the Smart Grid—which automatically sets the snap resolution and visual grid line to match the current zoom level.
Enhanced editing
The only variable separating you from your creativity is time, and the Pattern Tool—which sits in the Smart Tool palette for instant access—is all about saving time. Forget cut and paste: Simply select and paint MIDI loops and patterns across the Piano Roll View and Track View. In addition, Music Creator now allows for MIDI time-stretching, velocity layering, and additional functionality to simplify MIDI editing even further. And it’s all wrapped in a brand new Piano Roll View with improved zoom that makes editing MIDI a piece of cake.
