Music Director Gold

Descripción

.co.uk Review With Music Director Gold, top music software maker eJay lays down the standard for all audio software engines; and even if Music Director Gold is not without faults, it's a standard that will be fairly hard to match. Music Director Gold features 9,000 samples that can be mixed and melded onto 256 slickly organised on-disk tracks. The relatively foolproof interface allows you to swiftly locate just the right groove or lick, which you can then drag 'n' drop into your budding meisterwerk. As with all eJay products, the software automatically matches up the tempos and timbres, so there are no jarring musical mismarriages. The same goes for the effects, such as solo/mute, panorama and so on. One interesting add-on allows you to do funky stuff with Wave Editing and Time Stretching; another feature allows you to import or export your tracks as MP3s and data files. You can also make your own digital videos, and export them too; moreover, everything you make can be automatically backed-up to CD-ROM or hard disk. So what's the catch? Well, there's nothing truly revolutionary about this kit, despite what some might claim; what is gratifying is seeing it all in one comprehensive package. --Sean Thomas Manufacturer's Description One line sums it up: Music Director Gold is the definitive music production package. This Gold edition combines the best of eJay software, splicing the acclaimed Music Director Pro and Sound Collection #5 (including samples by chart-topping remixer Junkie XL) across an amazing 5 CDs! Choose from 9,000 royalty-free sounds and loops to mix and edit your tracks on an innovative desktop interface. The Stuttgart developers have added that extra ‚gold-plating’ by creating a new eJay audio engine with an astounding 256 stereo audio tracks in CD quality plus 8 video tracks with endless real-time effects and fades which can be added to via DirectX video plugins. An FX Studio for internal and external effects (VST 2.0 effect plug-ins), including a Wave Editor and Time & Tune Generator complete the line-up. Almost all parameters such as volume, panorama and effects can be easily manipulated using the innovative curve editing technique.
