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 dont 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 softwares features
and development, and ensures our products are 100 suited to the needs of our
users.

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, mp3s, 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.

PERCUSSION
The MW percussion editor is a highly intuitive step sequencer used to arrange
original drum beats and breaks. Up to a 32 beats can be played in each bar.
Sound sources can be Wav, Mp3, Vsti or Midi control over all the necessary
parameters for composition are provided.

SAMPLE LOOPS
MW contains one of the most intuitive Auto Time stretching / Pitch shifting
sample engines available. This allows any audio sample loop to be stretched or
compressed to sync perfectly with the current composition with a single click of
the mouse. Pitch shifting can easily be switched on or off allowing the user
complete freedom to experiment during the creative process.

VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS
MW products support standard VST Instruments. The speed and flexibility of the
onboard VST automation makes the creation of complex parts a purely musical
process. New presets can be saved and recalled with ease from the file browser.
Additional support for hardware controllers makes MW the most flexible and
creative VST instrument host available. A broad range of quality instruments are
included with each version of Making Waves.

MIDI
All versions of MW allow the loading, playback and editing of standard MIDI
files. MIDI files can be remixed using different source sounds and effects
including audio samples. Support for multiple midi devices is also built in
allowing MW STUDIO to fully integrate with all new or existing midi compatible
hardware. MW STUDIO offers a user configurable midi environment in which
exteal hardware such as midi synths and drum machines can be hooked up to the
MW sequencer. System Exclusive buttons let you receive or transmit sysex data
to or from your chosen midi device/instrument. Midi clock and MTC are also
supported allowing you to send a timing signal to selected exteal devices.

XG SUPPORT
MW STUDIO also supports the Yamaha XG standard for midi effects and voices
including all DSP audio effects as found onboard the SW1000XG soundcard and
other XG devices.

QUANTISE
Easily put your note sequences in time with the track quantise option. Each
track can have its own setting and quantise is non destructive allowing the user
to experiment with different types without permanently changing a part.

EFFECTS
Digital effects can be applied to individual tracks and sections of a song.
Master effects such as a global EQ setting can be applied to the whole
arrangement. Choose from the vast array of professional effects included or use
any VST or DirectX plugin for unrivalled flexibility. Any effect parameter can
be automated up to a maximum resolution of 1/384th of a bar!

MIXING DOWN SAVING YOUR SONGS
Export your song as .wav audio file for buing to audio cd or choose mp3 to
distribute your music over the inteet. You can also export a midi file or save
as a Making Waves Song for further editing / archiving.

VARIABLE TEMPO
The MW sequencer will allow the insertion of tempo changes at any point in your
arrangement. Ideal for classical and film music, this is also very handy for
creating DJ mixes containing several songs of differing speed.

AUTOFADER
This essential tool allows instant fade in and fade outs to be applied with one
mouse click. Use it on any effect track for a smooth transition between levels.

REALTIME AUDIO EDITING
MW includes an onboard wave editor that can be used in real time for general
audio editing tasks. Start and end points can be changed on the fly allowing
quick and easy original loop manipulation.

AUDIO RECORDING
Any audio source can recorded into MW AUDIO via the line in or mic in of your
computers soundcard. MW PRO and STUDIO also support multi track recording up to
a maximum of 8 simultaneous tracks. This is ideal for use with multi channel
soundcards and in particular offers a great platform for recording bands etc.
where more than one live instrument and or vocalist needs to be captured at
once.

Various recording methods are available to the user. For example, a vocal can be
captured over a backing track using song sync or drums could be played in time
to the metronome. The auto cue method is great for creating short phrases or
hits and will feel very familiar to users of hardware samplers.

BUFFER RECORDING
Ever heard something and then thought that would have made a great sample? In
buffer record mode MW is constantly recording a preset amount of audio. Switch
on the Rewind option, so if you wish youd recorded something but didnt hit
record in time, MW will have captured it for you. Just hit the red button to
save as a .wav file! Great for capturing useful samples from movies etc.

GROOVE EXTRACTION / MODULATION
The modulation characteristics of any sample loop can be used to form a groove
for effect sequences. For example the feel of a drum loop can be applied to a
distortion effect on a bassline, improving the groove of your song with minimum
effort.

AUDIO RECYCLING
Making Waves BEAT SPLICER facility breaks samples down into their component
parts over a timeline and allows the user the to re construct the sample in any
order they wish.

BAR EDITING
Bar editing can be carried out directly in the sequencer window and allows audio
already loaded into the sequencer to be re arranged a bar at a time e.g. bar 1
of a 4 bar loop could be repeated 4 times instead of simply playing back bars
1,2,3,4 in sequence. Any bar can be played back in any order great for adding
minor changes to musical events.

CUT OFF / BREAK BEAT TOOL
This very simple yet highly effective tool allows silence pattes to be applied
to audio samples and sequences. No tool makes it easier to create this powerful
break beat effect.

MULTI SAMPLING
Sample sets can be created with ease by placing samples on different notes of a
keyboard. A single click will automatically load a folder of samples across the
keyboard in the correct pitch order. This is also great for creating percussion
sets or entire drum kits which can be saved and recalled into any song.

DJ / LIVE MODE
This facility calibrates any changes made during playback with the tempo of the
song. Numerous samples can be loaded up simultaneously without interrupting the
music. Any changes made, such as edits and manipulation of effects will be heard
on the first beat of the bar, regardless of how well you time your changes.

BEAT TAPPER
Ideal for DJs and remixers, this tool allows you to manually set your song BPM
for imported audio files, e.g. songs recorded from vinyl. These will then be
synchronised to any additional tracks added to your mix.

IN SONG NAVIGATION
The ease with which songs can be created and expanded quickly fills the computer
screen, so as with most music software, it becomes impossible to see all the
tracks at once. To prevent confusion in larger projects, MW allows the user to
categorize tracks into colour coded sections and name them accordingly (e.g.
drums, vocals, synthesisers etc.). Additionally, book marks containing
descriptive text can be added at different time points throughout the song. The
zoom control allows the entire song to be viewed graphically.

CUSTOM GUI
Making Waves user interface can be customised to suit any taste or application.
Using the tools provided, users can change colours and bitmaps as they wish. A
selection of example skins is included and additional files can be downloaded.

COMPATIBILITY
All MW products are compatible with WIN OS 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP

MIN SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Multi media PC with Pentium Processor, 2G HDD, 16MB, Win OS, SVGA display.

THE SPEED OF YOUR SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE NUMBER OF ACTIVE AUDIO CHANNELS AND
PLUGINS THAT CAN BE RUN SIMULTANEOUSLY. MANY VST EFFECTS INSTRUMENTS DEMAND
FAR MORE SYSTEM RESOURCES THAN THE MAKING WAVES HOST PROGRAM.
