Sonic Engineering Releases SAW Utility Pak
 August 28, 2000Sonic Engineering has announced the release of the SAW Utility Pak for
SAW32Lite, SAW32, SAWPlus32, and SAWPRO. The SAW Utility Pak contains
four
useful plug-ins: The Stereo Pan, BigTime, Meter Bridge, and Aux Send
Return.
The Meter Bridge contains PEAK Style meters for monitoring any or all
channels in SAW. You can select either STEREO or MONO mode, where MONO
mode
shows only one meter and takes much less room on the desktop. A
"RESET
ON RE-CUE" option will reset the meter to -infinity, and you can
reset
the meters by clicking the dB read out above the meters.
The Aux Send Return plug-in allows you to send audio
from
one track and return on another. One of the advantages of the Aux Send
plug-in
is you can use a single Reverb for more than one track, greatly
reducing the CPU load. You can also use it for virtual mixing (amplitude
only).
The Stereo Pan plug-in allows you to pan both the left and
right
channels independently. It works well for drum files
where
the kick drum is on the left and the snare is one the right. With the
Stereo
Pan plug-in you can position the kick in the center and the
snare midway between the left and center.
The BigTime plug-in is used to display the current SMPTE time code in
large
friendly numbers. If you are unable to see SAW's
SMPTE
time code then this plugin is for you.
The SAW Utility Pak is now shipping and is available for $150.00 (all
four
plug-ins are included). The plug-in package is available at the Sonic Engineering website at www.sonicengineering.com and from Santa Barbara Film and Audio at www.sbfilmaudio.com. |
