last week Tracktion did a live stream where they went over some of their upcoming products
including updates to current instruments plus some new instruments that they're going to be
releasing and they also talked a little bit about Tracktion Waveform 12. So I quickly want to go
over what's been revealed so far just in case you missed the live stream because there's some cool
additions coming to Waveform Free and Waveform Pro including this one little feature that's going to
save so much time so stick around till near the end where i'll talk about that but first let's
talk about the audio engine they're saying that they've completely reworked the audio engine so
it's basically a whole new audio engine and this is going to make our workflow a lot smoother now
in addition to that all of the internal plugins have been reworked and updated plus there's going
to be some new plugins when you get Waveform 12. now you might be wondering if these new plugins
will be included in Waveform Free or just Waveform Pro and they did say that most of them will be in
Waveform Free as well so if you're using Waveform free you have something to look forward to and I
actually use some of the internal plugins so i'm pretty excited to hear that they're updating them
and they're giving them a little love plus adding some more in there i saw that they're adding this
eight band eq that looks great and they also mentioned something about some new reverbs that
they're going to be adding and another new effect that they actually showed was a Dual Guitar IR
loader so this is going to be like a guitar cabinet sim where you can load irs in there
it probably comes with several irs built into it and i'm sure you'll be able to add your own
and i'm not sure this might be one that's only included with pro but i'm just speculating on
that we'll have to see when Traction Waveform 12 is released there's going to be a new micro
sampler and a rompler instrument that they said is going to be like a preset instrument so maybe
they're going to work in some preset sounds from their premium instruments and you'll have access
to that it sounds like these are going to be in the free version so there's some new instruments
to look forward to now another cool thing for people that like to tinker with the user interface
is that they're making it easier for you to change colors of various things and they also have a ton
of preset templates for different colors so if you like to change the color of your user interface
and customize it there's going to be a lot of stuff coming for you and they've made it very
easy they've also totally reworked the browser so it's going to make it easier for you to
search and find different samples loops presets and bring those into your projects or whatever
it is you want to bring in your projects is going to be easier to do that from within the browser so
that's another update to look forward to also if you use the midi editor or the step clip editor
they're doing some updates to that as well you'll be able to show only the notes that are in the key
that you're working in so you won't be hitting any wrong notes or you can set it to only show
the current notes that you're using and there will also be a drum grid available in the midi editor
if that's something you want to use you could switch between that so some nice updates coming
to the midi editor and now the one thing that they announced that i'm really looking forward
to testing out is the remove silence feature and this is going to save me so much time now
normally i'll go through my vocal tracks and i'll slice them in various sections and then shorten
the clip and add fades on both sides and you have to go through the various sections of your song
to remove all of those quiet parts so you're not getting any background sounds in there or
maybe breathing something like that normally i go through manually and do that this new
remove silence feature is going to allow me to do that for the entire vocal clip in just two clicks
so it's going to save so much time it's going to add all of the fades clip it where there's
all the silence in there and you can even set the threshold so you can make sure that it's getting
the right stuff and it's not cutting off any of your vocal or maybe it's going to
leave a little too much of the silence you can set the threshold however you want and it shows you
where it's going to chop so you get a visual of where it's going to chop and then you know where
you want to set it so that remove silence feature alone is worth the update for me now they didn't
really give an exact date of when Wave form 12 is going to be released but they did say
next month so could be at the beginning of March maybe at the end of March maybe at the beginning
of April i guess it all depends on when it's actually ready to be released you don't want
them releasing it full of bugs they want to make sure all of that stuff is taken care of
now if you're wondering if it's worth it to upgrade to Waveform Pro from
Waveform Free click the video on the screen where I'll show you some of the differences and if you
