Simply splice, and click on which take you want to hear. The new Lane Track feature makes comping vocals takes and solo punch-ins a breeze, while still allowing flexibility and a fast easy way to compare takes. It doesn’t quite have the same ‘mojo’ factor as dedicated stand-alone stomp-boxes, but costs significantly less, and has the benefit of being able to be automated during a song or solo passage for dramatic shifts that aren’t possible when re-plugging hardware. It sounds as good or better than multi-effects hardware, but is much easier to program and tweak. It opens up large degrees of tonal flexibility, without breaking the bank. The new Amp Rack is of special interest to guitarists (and bassists) desiring the ability to change and alter the tone and combination of the amp simulation. A highly welcome feature for Sound Designers, and Remix Artists with large sound libraries, as it keeps all user properties, assets, and ratings synced and searchable between workstations. So if you use multiple computers (work, studio, home) it won’t have to re-index for each one. Your Media Bay can now travel with you on an external drive. The Media Bay has been improved allowing better organization of all sounds, samples, and loops in your collection. The new darker GUI was much easier to work with, (especially at night) and many context/menu improvements made the overall experience feel more polished and enjoyable.
HALION 3.5 REVIEW UPDATE
Installation was smooth, and as of this writing there was one update (6.0.5) available for download. As a long-time Cubase user, I was excited for the opportunity to try out the newest Cubase 6.
