These features include advanced editing for both audio and MIDI files, mixing capabilities, and mastering tools.

Additionally, it provides tape/console emulation, peak limiting, and tube saturation options along with VST3 support for seamless integration of modern editing tools.

PODCAST TIP
How to choose the right podcast format for you
Podcast Goals: This refers to the main objective of your podcast and its particular theme or focus. Your goals will guide you in choosing a format that best suits your message and purpose. It's vital to have clear objectives before starting a podcast.
Uniqueness: To attract listeners, your show needs to stand out from others covering similar topics. The format can play a major role in making your show unique and engaging for the audience. Try experimenting with different formats until you find one that helps distinguish your podcast.
Competition Analysis: Understanding what other podcasts are doing is crucial for ensuring yours stands out amongst them all. By analyzing the competition, you'll gain insights into their strengths and weaknesses which can help shape the direction of your own podcast.
Audience Preferences: Knowing what potential listeners want can significantly influence the choice of format for your podcast since it should cater to their interests or needs as much as possible, after all they are who you're trying to reach! So don't hesitate from conducting surveys or asking directly about what they prefer listening to.
Your Skills & Resources: These are important factors when deciding on a suitable format because if it doesn’t align with what you’re good at the resources available, creating content could become challenging over time - leading potentially even towards burnout! Therefore consider comfort zones along with capabilities whilst picking an appropriate style/format for broadcasting episodes.
Brand Alignment: If an existing brand is associated with this planned podcast then ensure chosen format complements said branding strategy; maintaining consistency across platforms helps build trust within audiences while avoiding any confusion about messaging thereby retaining listenership long-term.
