TC Works is showing the next major software revision for
the realtime digital audio editor - Spark 1.5. Among many other enhancements,
Spark 1.5 features all new cut editing enhancements, and the ability to use the
powerful Master view section as a plug-in, independent of the Spark application,
in both VST and/or MAS for Mac.
The Cut Editor now allows the user to work on 2 transitions simultaneously.
A graphic display of the cuts is provided in the top half of the cut editor window.
Type, Length and Splice settings are clearly indicated below, with End/Gain indicators
for the first region, Start/End/Gain for the second and Start/Gain settings for
the 3rd region. Also included is an A/B Compare memory button allowing you to
compare two completely different sets of transitions, nudge controls (like in
SoundDesigner) and Play settings like - One Shot, Loop, All, as well as Pre/Post
roll settings. In addition to the graphic waveform display you can select presets.
Spark 1.5's Master View section is now available to be loaded as a VST or MAS
plug-in (independent of running the Spark application) within programs like Cubase,
Vision, Digital Performer etc. By turning the Master View into a Plug-In, many
creative new possibilities can be tapped into - including placing a complex multi-effects
chain consisting of several Plug-Ins onto an insert within the host application,
or even simply using the Master View's metering, dithering and phase corellation
meter. Additionally, now the FXMatrix within the Master View can be used as a
unique plug-in adapter, to allow users of Mark Of The Unicorn/MAS to gain access
to any VST plug in. Now MOTU/MAS users can run the new VST/MAS compatible TC Works
Native Bundle - even as a VST plug-in, along side any of the other VST-only plug-ins
on the market.
Retail Price of Spark 1.5 is $499. Native Bundle for VST/MAS $599.
