Nuovo aggiornamento disponibile per gli utenti registrati della potente DAW della PreSonus. Here are a few highlights from the hundreds of new features and enhancements in Studio One 2. Celemony’s Melodyne is the most sought-after pitch-correction solution in the market, and it has been the model for proprietary solutions in several DAWs. Studio One 2 seamlessly integrates Melodyne so tightly that, for practical purposes, Melodyne is simply a part of Studio One.⇓ Learn more Sure, you can do transient detection and editing in other DAWs—but it’s slow, and you often have to make a lot of decisions along the way. In Studio One, you can quantize multitrack drums in two steps: group the tracks, then quantize. Studio One does the analysis and phase-coherent quantization for you—with great-sounding results! Want to quantize audio to other existing audio? Drag-and-drop audio into the Groove panel, then quantize. Groove extraction is as simple as drag-and-drop; extract a groove from any audio a...

LITTLE-ENDIAN E BIG-ENDIAN I processori della Apple utilizzano un sistema di ordinare i Byte chiamato BIG-ENDIAN, mentre i processori IBM compatibili, Windows, utilizzano il sistema denominato LITTLE-ENDIAN. Entriamo un po' più sul tecnico. E' risaputo che 8 bit costituiscono un Byte, un file a 16 bit è quindi formato da 2 Byte, il primo Byte è detto Least Significant Byte (LSB) ed il secondo Most Significant Byte (MSB); i processori che lavorano seguendo questo ordine appartengono al sistema LITTLE-ENDIAN, quelli che antepongono l'MSB all'LSB appartengono invece al sistema BIG-ENDIAN. In termini pratici se io avessi digitalizzato il valore "16" col sistema LITTLE-ENDIAN avrei questa sequenza di bit: "00000000-00010000" mentre con il sistema BIG-ENDIAN avrei questa altra: "00010000-00000000". Se a questo punto scambiassimo i file sui sistemi senza un'opportuna conversione, avremmo un'interpretazione severamente errata perché il valo...
