TC WORKS
is shipping the next major software revision for the real time digital
audio editor - Spark 1.5. Among many other enhancements, Spark 1.5 features
all new cut editing enhancements, and the ability to use the powerful
Master view section as a plug-in, independent of the Spark application,
in both VST and/or MAS for Mac.
The Cut Editor now allows the user to work on 2 transitions simultaneously.
A graphic display of the cuts is provided in the top half of the cut editor
window. Type, Length and Splice settings are clearly indicated below,
with End/Gain indicators for the first region, Start/End/Gain for the
second and Start/Gain settings for the 3rd region. Also included is an
A/B Compare memory button allowing you to compare two completely different
sets of transitions, nudge controls (like in Sound Designer) and audition
settings like - One Shot, Loop, All, as well as Pre/Post roll settings.
In addition to the graphic waveform display you can select crossfade presets.
Spark 1.5's Master View section is now available as a VST or MAS plug-in
(independent of running the Spark application) within programs like Cubase,
Vision, Logic, Digital Performer etc. By turning the Master View into
a Plug-In, many new creative possibilities can be tapped into - including
placing a complex multi-effects chain consisting of several Plug-Ins onto
an insert within the host application, or even simply using the Master
View's metering, dithering and phase corellation meter. Additionally,
now the FXMatrix within the Master View can be used as a unique plug-in
adapter, to allow users of Mark Of The Unicorn users to gain access to
any VST plug in. Now MOTU/MAS users can run the new VST/MAS compatible
TC Works Native Bundle - even as a VST plug-in, along side any of the
other VST-only plug -ins on the market.
Retail Price of Spark 1.5 is $499. Native Bundle for VST/MAS $499.
