Digital Content Producer report:
More than just an update of the popular application, SFX 6 has been rewritten from the ground up and boasts an array of new features. Among the most important changes are:
• An ASIO sound playback engine, which supports 16-bit or better WAV, MP3 or WMA audio files.
• Cues output to a true matrix with virtually any number of inputs to any number of outputs.
• Audio cues can contain mono, stereo and even more channels. Users can even drag-and-drop multiple sound files to create a multichannel, synchronized sound cue from existing mono and stereo sound files.
• Fades are now called Volume Changes, and Volume Change curves can be completely customized. Curves can be assigned on a per crosspoint level.
• Revamped user interface.
• Undo/Redo functions.
• Two new windows are now available. Transport Window shows/controls the execution of cues. Active Matrix gives users control of all the volumes of the standby and playing cues right in front of them and on the fly.
• Collapsible Cues. Cue sequences connected by Waits and Autofollows can be collapsed into one line.
