Precise measuring of loudness levels also ensures you deliver audio which complies to the EBU R128 loudness standard if needed.

Musically Intuitive

Chords can either be generated with the mouse, a MIDI keyboard or generated automatically from existing MIDI parts in the project.
The new VariAudio 2.0 will also let you enter single notes and then harmonise them later on or working with Chord Track it can harmonise against lead vocals creating beautifully composed choral arrangements.
The intelligent composition assistance, Chord Assistant can help you generate everything from pop, rock or jazz chord sequences that sound effortlessly amazing.
