The heart of soundBlade editing is EFM™, our Edit Fade Mode, working in concert with our pioneering 4 point editing model. Our famously detailed waveforms provide much needed visual information while working rapidly on subtle details. It also has our enviable and highly adjustable Smart Fade Tool™ which, when combined with EFM, makes short work of jobs that are time consuming or impossible on other systems. Of course, you can cut, copy or paste between open Projects and drag and drop files from any Mac OS source, whether the Finder or iTunes.
Far from locking you into proprietary hardware, soundBlade works with all Core Audio interfaces, recording at all common sample rates in all common formats, including AIFF, WAV and BWF. For re–purposing existing projects or, to collaborate with other studios, soundBlade also opens DDP and SD2 with regions. soundBlade also saves in Broadcast WAVE format, with OriginationDate/Time, Originator, Originator Reference and Description metadata.
Sonic is known as the inventor of desktop premastering, and soundBlade enlists the same mark–up and DDP delivery technology found in all our products. Complete PQ support is assured, allowing special handling of segues along with emphasis, UPC/EAN and ISR codes. To further speed your work, entry of PQ information is automated and validated on the fly, with inconsistencies visually flagged for correction. If CD-DA–formatted “refs” or check discs are needed, soundBlade can also quickly generate CD-Rs for client take–aways.
