Session Overview

Introduction

SoundcheckPro sessions are designed to put the user in the seat of the head engineer. All of the important components for an engineer to manage a session are present and “within arms reach”.

SoundcheckPro is not a typical “DAW” nor should it be treated as such. Mixing audio in SoundcheckPro is not reliant on menus or right clicks or undo buttons. Rather it spotlights the workflow and obstacles for all it contributes to the mystical powers of the engineer in the analog domain.

The goal of a DAW is to record the highest quality sounds, and processing the sounds at fastest possible time. The goal of SoundcheckPro (or analog) is to rely on a physical environment for a more hands-on  process. Read more about “How SoundcheckPro Differs from the Traditional DAW”
