Using multiple applications for your productions? Do you have thousands of sounds and plug-ins that you share and swap between them? Is mapping all that a huge time constraint for you?

You’re not alone.

The number one concern regarding MIDI for most professionals is the challenge you face when Mapping MIDI controls and sounds between multiple applications. This can be a laborious task, especially for those who prefer the creative aspects of this craft and find the technical side a little challenging if not outright frustrating. There is a way to make it easier and faster… Automap.

What is Automap?
Automap is a piece of software that comes with all Novation controllers. It has been designed to make the job of assigning your hardware controls to various software parameters quick and easy. Although there are many great controllers out there, the ones from Novation stand out as a “must have” due to their economical cost and this time-saving feature.

Out of Control?
Despite having knobs and sliders, most MIDI controllers are no good at controlling plug-ins. You have to read through the manual, find out the MIDI controller numbers for each control, and manually assign and name each parameter, letter by letter. Some controllers come with templates, which just fix controls to a few parameters on a hand-full of plug-ins.

In Control
Automap enables knobs, faders and buttons to instantly control plug-in instruments/FX, as well as your sequencer’s mixer, transport controls and more…

• With Automap, when you open a plug-in, you have instant access to all the plug-in parameters, allowing you to assign knobs, faders and buttons, by simply clicking on the software parameter, and touching the control.
• Automap’s edit page graphically shows you the entire control surface, labeling each control so you can see exactly what is assigned to what.
• Automap feeds back information from the plug-in, telling you what each parameter is called, and its current value: e.g – dBs, cutoff, LFO speed etc.

So, if you are working with different applications such as Ableton, Reason, Cubase, ProTools, AbSynth, Kontakt, virtually any MIDI supported software package…you should definitely have a Novation Controller with Automap in your toolkit.

For an exceptional value, I suggest getting your hands on one of the ReMOTE SL Compact models. Although these models have been recently discontinued, they are loaded with features and perform very well. They may not be available everywhere, but you can still find them at places like GigaSonic. We have priced them to move, but have limited quantities available. Click here to check out all the Novation Controllers featuring Automap.

The Steinberg WaveLab 6 is an expert kit that is ideal for anyone that is interested in, or already working in the music industry with audio-editing. With a high and demanding price tag the Steinberg WaveLab 6 has every feature it could have to be a quality piece of equipment that is worth the money that people are willing to pay for it.

A feature that needs to be largely taken into account is that whoever is using the device go deep inside the track and then this enables them to make sure that every sound or noise is perfect and just the way it needs to be. Sometimes when recording music, things don’t always go the way that they are expected or wanted to go but this is not a problem when it comes to the Steinbery WaveLab 6, as there is a chance where any utterances or unneeded sound effects can be removed to ensure that the music produced sounds as professional as it can.

Another things that should be noted when it comes to this device is that there are so many features that each feature does not always have a specified purposes and can be used in addition for other things too. One of the best examples to give of this would be there is a features that restores audio that may have lost some of it’s quality and this can be down to many different things but this feature can also be used to produce different effects that may be useful to electronic artists that are looking to create something that is a little different to what is already out there.

Steinberg is generally credited for making the software very versatile and flexible, and with practice using computers and making your way around the software it is then that you can realize the full potential that the WaveLab has. There are so many different options to look through and although this may be seen as complex it just reinforces just how much the WaveLab has to offer to those who decide to purchase it.

There are a lot of different things that can make the WaveLab different from other competitors out there on the market and one of these is that the WaveLab gives you the ability to stretch time. This makes the sounds, and this can be anything from instruments to recorded sounds, such as vocals, stretch. They become longer and this is done without having to compromise or reduce the overall quality of the music. So remixing music can be made so much easier with the Steinbery WaveLab 6.

With everything considered the WaveLab has so much to offer to anyone in the music industry and is very versatile and flexible, meaning it can be used for so many different things and can be a key item when it comes to making music and within the music industry among producers and artists. There are cheaper alternatives out there but none of those will be able to offer as much and to the high standard and quality that the Steinberg WaveLab 6 can offer, so it makes it a potentially important investment.
