About

SAW is the acronym for Software Audio Workshop. SAWStudio combines both high-tech virtual mixing and hard disk editing technologies into one power-packed application. The look and feel of a fully controllable console, coupled with an all new high powered 24-bit hard disk engine make this product one of the most intelligent choices for the serious audio professional. The SAWStudio interface is a tightly woven mesh of a fully developed mixing console interface and a newly designed MultiTrack recording/editing interface. This design is truly aimed at emulating the look and feel of working in a typical hardware based studio environment, replacing the physical mixing console, MultiTrack recorder and outboard rack-effects gear all at the same time. This product represents a revolutionary new approach to mixing and editing audio in a virtual environment, truly replacing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of physical gear needed to perform the same functions.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I really cannot say anything good about Cleanfeed. All my hopes were not realized. The hope was based on the reputation for quality audio capture, however, even that was lacking.
  • Easy to use on both sides as you only need to send a link to the other person. Also it looks really simple (good).
  • This software is one of the best I have ever used. Crisp, clear sound with no interference or interruptions. Perfect for interviews and podcasts. I highly recommend!
  • No software or downloads required - runs on a wide range of browsers, easily shared with clients who can use almost any device from laptop microphone to full studio setup, ability to split and record each remote input individually, insanely low latency, adjustable settings for quality etc, simple and easy interface
  • Guests can join via smartphone, laptop, PC or table. Vey good sound quality. Easy to use during recordings. Clear interface.

Cons

  • I was hopeful having moved over from a competitor, however, Cleanfeed cost me an entire interview: one track had me as the host and my guest audio is captured for the first 5 minutes on their track, then it drops to no data. The echo that is mentioned multiple times by others is a nightmare in post. And the interface itself is clunky and poorly designed. When I was recording the aforementioned session, each track read throughout the interview as receiving and recording; however, getting the tracks into post proved otherwise. Their master "Clips" file, as well, does not save you should there be a failure in the individual tracks.
  • Could not work out how to remove echo, even with everyone using headphones and mics.
  • To be honest I haven’t encountered any part that I am unhappy with.
  • Nothing.
  • The echo. There is no echo cancelation and it's the deal breaker. You juts never know when it is going to pop up. It's a terrible issue because you spend valuable time trying to correct it and it's hugely embarrassing when you have guests. They have a so-called help sheet on their website but all it seems to indicate is that they cannot help you. they suggest options to try but when none work, you're on your own. Instead of trying to blame you, maybe the creators of Cleanfeed should just install echo cancellation. It is also unreliable with connections. Some guests I have had were not able to connect. they joined the feed but either couldn't hear me or I couldn't hear them.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The SAWStudio engine is super-fast. I use other DAWs but always find myself loading things up in Saw to do the actual work. I love the workflow, as it is like sitting at a console. Make sure to get the "levelizer" plug-in. It is a must-have!
  • I Love this software. I have been recording for 40 years. I have used everything there is or ever was to use in the past 60 years. SAWStudio is limitless in its capabilities yet there is a warmth to it that I have not found with any other digital software. (My affinity for tape is showing here). When I first went digital the sound was clean and clear but to me it sounded cold, like a replicant trying to sing but lacking soul. I couldn't point it out. I couldn't describe it to someone I just felt it. I tried all of them and they all sounded the same. I walked into a friends recording studio for some work one day and when he was mixing things down I asked him what he was using because it sounded different. He said "Saw" I asked "WTF is Saw?" Watching him copy and paste an average guitar solo into something Eddie Van Halen would have been proud of and then copy and paste and slightly offset my relatively thin vocals into a rich, resonant sound seemed like magic. I was hooked. At that point I believe it cost $35,000.00. It was worth every penny. As I have watched the price drop over the years I don't feel envy I am simply glad this is so readily available to anyone and everyone. The learning curve is quite high although I am sure that younger people that grew up with computers it will not be very difficult. I watched a demo once where SAWStudio went up against Pro Tools. The Pro Tools setup was quite elaborate and the SAWStudio set up was a laptop with a soundcard interface. After the band was finished the Pro tools audio engineer stated that he was going to start mixing things down as the SAWStudio tech handed the band the finished CD, folded up his laptop and walked away After listening to both versions the band found them both to sound great. The vocalist wanted his voice more in front of the mix and the guitarist wanted the same for himself. I called the SAWStudio engineer and he emailed a digital copy 5 minutes later with exact what they wanted.

Cons

  • What's not to like? If I was going to pick anything it is lack of tablet support, however, this is so far down the list it doesn't matter to me. Just saying.
  • There was nothing I did not like about this product. The price was steep but it no longer is!
