Quartz Studio basically looks like a simple mixing console on which you can easily set volumes, pans, effects, and so on with a few mouse clicks. Track volumes, pans and mutes as well as master levels can be automated.

You can attach a chain of up to 16 effect plug-ins per track(native Quartz ,VST or DirectX plugins), like reverb, chorus, noise gate....all processing in real-time

Recording is quite simple. You just have to switch one or more tracks to "record-ready", hit the "record" button and the program will record the signal at the inputs of your soundcard(s) between the left and right, previously defined, locator positions.

User-definable "Markers" allows you to easily browse through a mix.

A genuine "spacialization" window also allows synchronized modification of volume and pan at once.

A waveform editing window allows viewing and direct editing of the track contents. Here you can place locators for loops or for punch In/Out recording methods as well as sound part selection for copy, paste, erase, optimization, and so on.

Using Midi Time Code, Quartz Studio can easily synchronize external devices. It can be also synchronized to Midi files, Video files (which can be very convenient to create soundtracks for a video) and even to standard CDs.

Want to work with remote musicians, composers or lyricists to help you achieve your music or audio projects? The genuine Quartz Studio multi-track compressed file format and the DSP Virtual Studios will allow you to do it!
