Record performances with incredible depth, dimension, and dynamic range with the 32-bit audio engine delivering unrivaled sound quality. Experiment, shape, and fine-tune MIDI and audio performances on the fly without stopping playback. Start creating right away with a massive collection of plugins, instruments, loops, and samples—plus, get new plugins and sound content every month with Inner Circle rewards and the Sonic Drop.
