Featuring timeline visual editing, region-based audio management,
realtime DSP effects, faders automation, studio-quality digital mixing,
ProStationAudio is the largest audio project in development for the
AmigaOS.
The much recommended StationID tutorial (with audio) prepared at the
Experimental Media Research Lab in Sacramento, US, is available on the
AudioLabs web sites for downloading.
[PROSTATIONAUDIO: FEATURES]
- Import/export audio from/to any platform. Exchange audio files with
industry standard platforms including Windows, MacOS, Unix or
dedicated hardware (DraCo, NewTek Toaster/Flyer, AD516/Studio16).
- Internet friendly: MPEG layer 1, 2 and 3 (the popular MP3) import,
Java ulaw import/export. Import multiple MP3 files, overlap them
on the timeline to create automatic crossfades, add realtime effects
such as EQ and stereo field expansion, then master to CDDA, all with
ProStationAudio.
- Batch import. Select a directory and let ProStationAudio import all
the audio files, unattended. Great for handling large MP3 collections
or building effects libraries on removable media for audio/video
production.
- Time accounting for computation of production/postproduction costs.
Time spent working with ProStationAudio is automatically logged on
a per-project basis. The application generates reports listing the
global time spent on the project, number of working sessions, duration,
date and time of each session. Fully automatic logging. Reports can
be exported as text files for printing or inclusion in documents or
invoices.
- Hard-disk based non linear editing. Work with audio recordings up to
2GB each, regardless the amount of RAM memory installed. Disk streaming.
Instant random access to any location.
- Non destructive editing. Trim, cut, fade, crossfade audio recordings
without affecting the original takes. Instantaneous operations
regardless the file size.
- Region-based editing. Any fragment of audio is accessible from an
alpha-sorted list, managed by the application. Any fragment generated
by cutting, bouncing, recording, gets automatically named and sorted.
Let ProStationAudio take care of your most complex projects.
- Visual approach. Build your projects managing visual audio blocks.
Examine on-screen waveforms to create perfect edits. Each block can
be distorted manually to create fades and trim its boundaries. Blocks
can be dropped over blocks to create crossfades (or to have them
automatically align in various ways). Multilayer graphics: objects,
waveforms, fades/xfades, automation.
- Extensive set of tools for positioning and aligning objects, ranges
and the cursor. Accurate spotting to SMPTE locations, at sub-frame
resolution. Tools for DJs such as shifting and scaling ranges. The
intelligent Magic Wand tool lets you create perfect loops in a
fraction of a second, automatically. Nudging with variable step
(numerical entry, range size or object size).
- Signal generation including pure tones and sweeps in the 5:24000Hz
range. 64bit accuracy. DTFM (phone dialing) tones generation with
full control on pause, tone and break durations.
- Automotion (tm), the automation engine. Create the perfect mix while
letting the software remember all of your moves. Automation tracks
can be graphically edited in the timeline window or recorded in
realtime by grabbing the faders during playback.
- Realtime design. Operate on faders, pans, effects parameters, even
the virtual tape speed, always in realtime, to tune up your mix on
the fly or create dynamics effects. These dynamic effects can
optionally be recorded to disk, again in realtime, while playing.
- Advanced auditioning. Fast-forward and slow-motion during playback.
Realtime time stretching. The auditioning signal can be digitally
recorded to disk in realtime.
- ALPS architecture for audio DSP plugins: unlimited expansion
possibilities. Multiple DSP inserts allow to apply different DSP
effects to each track, in realtime. Multiple master DSP inserts
(post-fader processing).
- ALPS plugins: freely accessible modules for realtime DSP operations.
Downloadable from the web site. Include dynamic compression,
several EQ modules, spatial processing, ducking, delays, ...

- EDL import and overlay. Create an edit list with a text editor and
let ProStationAudio build the whole project for you, automatically.
You can import EDLs from other applications. Plugins for Producer
EDLs (Elite/SoundStage) and the Studio16 EDLs (AD516/AD1012).
- Hi-end hardware support: ProStationAudio takes advantage of 1 or 2
CPUs, 1 or 2 video monitors, 1 or 2 graphic cards. Add value to
your hardware investments.
- Hi-quality graphic interface, scalable, font-sensitive, supporting
up to 1600x1280 on two different monitors. Shaded look, includes
gadgetry (pots, switches,...) scanned from real gear. Supports also
a dual screen display on a single monitor.
- Maximized audio boards compatibility through the support of two audio
drivers families: AudioLabs drivers and AHI drivers.
