  • ReWire
  Optimized for dual-core and hyperthreading CPUs: n-Track's multithreaded design takes advantage of extra CPUs processing power to allow using more tracks and effects. Depending on the song structure and buffer size the gain over a regular CPU can be around 1.7x (dual-core) or 1.1x (hyperthreading)
  Supports 16 and 24 bit single and multichannel soundcards
  Internal signal path uses 64 bit double precision math for the maximum audio quality available on today's CPUs
  Waveforms of tracks being recorded are updated in realtime
  Supports sampling frequencies beyond 192 Khz

Supports VST Instruments and DirectX Instruments synth plug-ins: sample-accurate MIDI tracks can be sent to VSTi/DXi software MIDI synths, without the need of expensive hardware MIDI synths
Live input processing allows to process with plug-ins live signals. Record the 'dry' (unprocessed) signal while processing and reprocess the recording later - i.e. play a guitar through a distortion plug-in then change the distortion after the recording!
  Supports surround mixing for creating DVD audio projects using 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 channels surround formats
  Change tracks speed with or without changing pitch with speed and transpose controls for whole song, tracks and individual tracks .wav files

  Each audio track includes a 20 bands parametric EQ with graphical frequency response view, a full spectrum analyzer and an automatic instrument tunerUp to 32 aux channels with fully automated sends & returns
  Multiple input and output soundcards or more than one soundcard are supported: you can record multiple tracks at a time and output to more than one stereo output. Each output channels has its own master channel effects and volume contro
ReWire logo Supports ReWire technology by Propellerhead Software AB: signals from other programs (such as Reason, Ableton Live, Fruityloops and many others) can be mixed in realtime with n-Track's own channels
  Sync to other programs or external devices using SMPTE/MTC or MIDI Clock sync, acting either as master or slave
  Loads and saves MIDI tracks to standard MIDI files
  Videos (AVI, MPEG) can be played in sync with the song in a dedicated video playback window
  Volume, pan, aux sends & returns and effects parameters can be automated: you can "program" fade-in/outs, cross fades, boost the volume of a track when there is a solo etc.
