Explore real WaveDesk views using the same pop-rock example session: from arrangement through sound shaping to the mix. Choose an area and discover the next step.
Read the arrangement
Recognise the roles in the song.
The example view shows drums, bass, guitars, keys and vocals together in the arrangement. Colours and track names help distinguish instrument groups. As you listen, start by asking which elements carry each part of the song.
Record alternative passages, compare them in context and assemble your preferred performance. The session shown illustrates the workspace; the linked guide explains the recording and comping steps.
Work from levels through EQ to dynamics. Switch processing in and out to compare, and listen for whether the track becomes clearer or fits the arrangement better.
Start by setting levels and pan. Connect instruments through shared spaces and create groups. Automation then guides the important moments in the song.
Check the stereo mix and choose a suitable export format. If others will continue working on the project, clearly named individual tracks and agreed formats are helpful.
The Sound Workshop provides original WAV and MIDI material to import. Practise cutting, fades, sound shaping and note editing with the accompanying guides.
