the free daw tracktion 7 is getting a huge upgrade I've also got the plugins worth
checking out and the free plugins of the week all coming up I'm Zane and welcome
to the home studio show on this show I do audio tech news and reviews to help
you find new tools for your home studio this show is available on YouTube and
it's also available as a podcast from the home studio show calm and as usual
all of the links to everything I mentioned in this episode are in the
description so let's get into it now first up in news tracktion have announced
waveform 11 also known as waveform free or waveform Pro so if you're still
working with tracktion t7 and you enjoy that workflow you'll be able to upgrade
to waveform 11 for free or also known as waveform free I've been playing around
with it a bit and I can't give out any details right now but I can tell you
that this is a big upgrade over tracktion t7 and you should really love it of
course I'll have a full review and tutorials coming out once waveform 11 is
released next up in audio news is a cool piece of software called maturing the
idea of matchering is to help get your tracks sound like a reference track from
a mastering standpoint so if you're a rock band that kind of wants your track
to sound similar to green day you would insert your track as the target and
whatever green day track as the reference the algorithm of mattering
will go to work and match things like peak amplitude and stereo width
hopefully leaving you with a professional quality master track I'm
definitely looking at matchering further and I'll have more content on it if I
notice that it gets great results I just need to play around with it a little bit
