n Track Studio 5.1.1

n-Track Studio is an audio & MIDI multitrack recorder that turns your personal computer into a full-fledged recording studio. You can record and playback a virtually unlimited number of audio and MIDI tracks. The program sustains simultaneous recording from multiple 16 and 24 bit soundcards, and real-time audio effects can be applied non-destructively to each track.

Built-in effects include Reverb, Multiband concentration, Chorus, Delay, Pitch Shift, Graphic and Parametric EQ & spectrum analyzer. The program can use third party DirectX and VST plug-ins to process in real-time audio signals. Effect can also be used to process the recorded signal in real-time so that the personal computer can act as a multi-effects appliance.

MIDI tracks can be imported end exported to regular MIDI files, and edited using the built in piano-roll based MIDI editing window. The program sustains VSTi and DXi instruments plug-ins for sample accurate software MIDI playback.

All the audio tracks are saved as standard wave files and mixed on the fly during playback. Volume and pan evolution can be programmed by drawing on the timeline window. When all the tracks have been recorded and all the settings are correct you can mix-down the final song to CD or create, using the built-in mp3 encoder, an mp3 version to distribute through the Internet.
