YOUR MUSIC TAKES CENTRE STAGE
What would you like to create?
Explore WaveDesk from your own musical perspective. Each starting point connects suitable tools with a clear path through your song.
VOCALS & VOICE
The voice carries the song.
A clear performance starts before the first effect. Set up the microphone input, check the recording level and capture several takes. Then shape the strongest moments into a coherent vocal track.
Preserve expression
Precisely edit monophonic pitch, timing and formants in the Audio Note Editor. Compare the source and the processed version before moving on.
Find presence and space
Aura, de-esser, EQ and compressor help shape the sound. Give vocals space with a shared reverb send without pushing the voice to the back.
GUITARS & BANDS
Many tracks. One performance.
A band production thrives on interplay. Organise microphones and instruments on separate tracks, use mono or stereo inputs to suit the source, and keep the arrangement readable with colours and markers.
Record together
Select your interface inputs and arm the required audio tracks for recording. Check levels and monitoring before the take.
Mix as a whole
Bring related instruments together in groups. Shared spaces via sends connect guitars, drums and vocals.
Develop the song
Compare takes, shape transitions with fades and bring the chorus or solo forward with automation. External VST3 effects add to your sound.
BEATS & ELECTRONIC MUSIC
From a pattern to your own groove.
Start with rhythm and bass. RHYTHM provides drum pads and a step sequencer; MONO and NOVA add foundation, leads and textures. Build small motifs into a complete progression in the arrangement.
Develop a pulse
Program drums, vary velocities and try swing. Deliberately leave space for bass and other rhythmic elements.
Set notes in motion
Edit a motif in the piano roll or pattern sequencer. Scales, Mono/Poly and controller curves open up new variations.
Build tension
Change tone and volume over time with automation. Use modulation, delay or saturation as musical accents.
KEYS, SAMPLES & COMPOSITION
A tone opens up new ideas.
A piano chord, a string part or an unusual sample can spark a whole song. Record instruments via MIDI and develop harmony and phrasing with the piano roll and chord tools.
Find a musical foundation
Play in chords or a melody. Adjust note lengths and velocity until the phrase fits your song.
Choose the right sound
Explore acoustic and electric keys, strings and synths. The audio examples help you hear their different characters.
Make your own material playable
Load a sample into FRAME, select a section and shape the sound with the envelope and filter. Reverse and loop open up new possibilities.
