Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Borrowing heavily from respected multimedia authority Sonic Foundry, Screenblast Music Studio is an ideal composition application for PC music hobbyists. Whether you're arranging your own tunes, remixing and adding personal touches to existing songs, merging video with audio, or simply burning compilation CDs, Screenblast Music Studio delivers.

The Music Studio package consists of several components, the most prominent of which is Screenblast ACID Deluxe, a simplified version of Sonic Foundry's ACID Pro. Loops are short, prerecorded musical passages that may be pieced together to create original, royalty-free tunes, and ACID Deluxe's highly intuitive timeline interface allows you to quickly and easily "paint" these loops into complex block-rocking beats of unlimited size and scope. Hundreds of topnotch loops have been included for your enjoyment.

You can later enhance your compositions by recording vocals or traditional instruments (up to two simultaneous tracks at a time), adding reverb and distortion effects, or tweaking the pitch or panning of individual tracks. You may even want to remix songs from your favorite artists or add prerecorded movie clips or graphics to fashion a homegrown music video. After you've assembled all the parts, you can save your masterwork in a variety of formats compatible with both computerized and standalone audio players, or post it online at the Screenblast Web site.

Also featured in the Music Studio suite is Screenblast's sophisticated media player and CD burning application, Siren Jukebox Deluxe. With Siren Jukebox Deluxe, you can record audio and data CDs, rip music tracks to your computer in WAV, WMA, or MP3 formats, and, of course, play audio CDs. The application includes integrated EQ, reverb, and time-stretching parameters, the latter of which allows you to play a song at various speeds while maintaining its correct pitch--an invaluable aid for musicians.

Screenblast Music Studio combines an assortment of semi-professional tools, a slick interface, and a cool mix of loops at a reasonable price, and is therefore recommended to home-based audiophiles and musicians. --Gordon Goble

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff, November 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Screenblast Music Studio (CD-ROM)

It's great software at a great price. I bought the program so I could rip and burn CD's but soon found that using the ACid program (2 software apps come in the box- Acid and Siren...I think these are the Sonic Foundry engines)I could also add a soundtrack to my home movies. The box also came with audio clips that I used to sequence a Blues song and that was fun too.
