1.1 Overview
MultitrackStudio is a virtual multitrack studio. You can record and play audio and MIDI tracks, edit them,
and mixdown to stereo.
The straightforward and uncluttered user-interface has been designed with tape-based recording in mind.
Mixer sections are oriented horizontally (as opposed to the more familiar vertical layout), allowing them to
include an editor as well. The editing tools are aimed at correcting mistakes. MIDI tracks have been made

to look like audio tracks as much as possible.
The large number of high quality effects (plus VST and DX plugin support) and the built-in Sampler make it
possible to do software-only mixing and mastering. All track, mixer and effect settings can be stored in a
song file and recalled any time.
Using a songlist you can play a sequence of songs. This way you can preview your CD project without
having to mix the individual songs down to stereo files first.
MultitrackStudio features a context-sensitive help system: pressing the F1 key will show help on the item
the mouse points to.
