Home Studio 2 XL Academic Version

The additional tools and loops in Home Studio XL give up the goods for the musician, project studio producer, or dance/remix artist who's looking for more capabilities than Home Studio Version 2 offers alone.

PowerFX Dyad DXi is an advanced SF2 sample player with powerful tools for sound manipulation that includes a CD of unique and versatile samples to get you started.

SpectraFX combines essential processing (reverb, chorus, flange, EQ, distortion) into one efficient multi-effect plug-in.

Cakewalk Audio FX 1 is a series of essential plug-ins for mixing and mastering that includes a Compressor/Gate, Limiter, Expander/Gate, and Dynamics Processor.

Audio FX 2 provides Tape Saturation and Guitar Amp Simulation to warm up your digital audio.

AmpSim gives you the classic sound of vintage guitar amplifiers from light crunch to overdrive distortion with choices for amp model, speaker cabinet, and other parameters.

TapeSim applies the saturated warmth of analog tape to your digital audio with controls for warmth, tape speed, EQ curve, hiss, and more.

This update to Home Studio 2004 XL also contains the Cakewalk VST Adapter for full support of VST effects and instruments. With realtime DirectX effects, DXi and ReWire software synths, MIDI plug-ins, ACID-format audio loop technology, and the ability to record and mix unlimited audio and MIDI tracks with realtime effects, Home Studio 2 XL takes your music farther, faster.

ReWire support means easy integration of Home Studio Version 2 with Project5, Reason, and other ReWire synths, as well as easier soft synth implementation across the board.

Your recordings will sparkle with 24-bit/96kHz audio conversion quality and you can simultaneously record your whole band with your multichannel audio card. Drum tracks are more fun and intuitive thanks to a click and drag interface, paint-style tools, and the logical layout Drum Editing Grid.

When you're ready to distribute your project, you've got Pyro Express CD maker and WAV ripper. And there's support for all Windows compatible audio hardware through WDM, MME, or ASIO.
