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.

About

VoiceMeeter is a Virtual Audio Device Mixer able to manage any audio sources on Windows PC; Audio coming from Physical Inputs (e.g. Microphone) as well as audio coming from any application (including Audio Pro ASIO Applications). This offers possibilities to mix your voice with your music player, browser, web radio, video game, and with the sound coming from any audio DAW like Cubase, Ableton Live or Pro Tools (possibly in the same time) for Skype-call or any VOIP / recording workflow. By supporting All Audio Interfaces (MME, KS, WaveRT, Direct-X and ASIO interface) Voicemeeter becomes also an audio bridge between applications: for ASIO Applications willing to use Windows Audio Device Driver (like MME or WDM) as well as for Windows MME player willing to use ASIO device through Voicemeeter solution. Everything works in all ways. As Audio Mixer, Voicemeeter is able to mix 3 audio inputs devices to 3 audio output devices (2 physicals and 1 virtual) through 2 busses A & B.

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!

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Great software – extremely useful for managing multiple audio sources seamlessly. It simplifies complex routing and provides excellent control over input/output settings

Cons

  • The interface can be a bit overwhelming for first-time users, and there’s a slight learning curve.
