Awave Studio 10.6 is a music-oriented software that lets you convert your audio files, edit and process your audio and create music. It is also a multi-format audio player. It provides customized “instrument banks†that come along with your MIDI files. You can edit your sound by applying effects, fade in and fade out, re-sampling, normalizing amplitudes, etc. It can do instrument editing for your sound card, soft-synth plug and synthesizer. It runs on Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP. It can read 290 formats and write 135 formats. Some synthesizers may use formats or file systems that are unrecognized by Windows, but Awave Studio reads them by directly communicating with the hardware. It can recognize formats from instruments by Akai, Korg, Yamaha, Roland, Ensoniq, Creamware, Kurzweil, Native instruments and many others. Aware Software Synthesizer lets you do real-time auditioning of your instruments. The Batch Conversion Wizard allows conversion of large numbers of files with optional effects. It supports up to 32bit data, and automatically converts lower precision source data to higher precision to avoid quantization errors and for audio fidelity. Instrument Processing Wizard avoids repetitive editing on multiple instruments. MIDI Processing Wizard lets you transpose notes and change tick rate. It has graphical editors for your instrument parameters.
