Not that hard to be a pro now!

Suppose you are a genius in disguise, an artist, or just a regular music lover. In that case, DarkWave Studio is ideal for you, as it will enable you to reach out to your deep-hidden potential to boost the abilities you did not even know you had there.

DarkWave Studio is a fully-fledged-real-time digital audio deck and virtual studio to work with multiple audio streams within the Windows environment, allowing you to add effects in your way to produce a final cut, aided by a wide range of useful features neatly packed away in a tabbed interface.

That little artist within yourself is just screaming and dying for you to try this thing, as its insight tells you that you will be able to attain many great things with this efficient and high-performance digital audio workstation.

Turn up the volume!

We are talking about some efficient modular design here, similar to that of the interactive Buzz's studio, which, to help you to create electronic music rapidly, includes a LOT of plugins/filters, such as anti-alias, arpeggiator, crunch, distort, MIDI input and output, mixer, quad delay, stomp, stereo joiner, splitter, pattern editor, sequence editor, and multitrack hard disk recorder.

But are we speaking in tongues here? It certainly seems so. We have read a lot about modular stuff, but what does it mean? When people refer to that concept, they suggest that it is an item composed of standardized sections that sum up to some flexible arrangement. In other words, a design susceptible to be customized and upgraded will also allow several machines to be connected in an ad-hoc fashion.

Good beats

DarkWave Studio's interface is like a nice tune that flows ahead in an intuitive and fairly straightforward style, making it way simpler for you to access the tool's main features: Who doesn't like good tunes?

Moving forward with the musical references, the whole thing functions pretty melodically. You can use the sequencer, VST effects, and VSTi instruments from third parties to create your supreme beat and music.

Behind the curtains

The enjoyable sounds you will hear on the stage are not everything this efficient digital audio deck and the virtual studio have to offer, as there is much more than meets the eyes back there. In addition to full support for VST and ASIO, it has eight modules, including a MIDI input, an audio mixer, and a percussion synthesizer.

On the other hand, with the Pattern Editor, you will create patterns that control the instruments in the studio, while the sequencer tab includes all the patterns you've already created! The way of doing all of that is pretty straightforward, so, in the end, you will be able to quickly create and change patterns by clicking and dragging to add or delete or move or resize them, respectively.

About the wide variety of filters, there is just no end to what you will be doing there, from arranging the elements in any order in the studio, renaming, deleting, or randomizing any of them, to adjusting settings such as bass drum tune, level attack and decay, cymbals CR and RD levels and decay.

How does it echo with your system?

To be quite honest, it goes just as an orchestra. This high-performance digital audio workstation is surprisingly light on the system resources, considering everything that DarkWave Studio offers. It will run on low CPU and RAM usage. It also has a good response time and works well without causing the OS to hang, crash or show error messages. So, not one bad note in there.

The last movement: Rollicking Finale

Even though it will not be THAT easy at first if you are a newbie, in the end, we can conclude that DarkWave Studio is a nice piece of art: a complete symphony with not any waste.

You should know by now that life without music would be just a plain error, but creating music without this big help would be nonsense. So, I don’t know why you are still reading this review instead of downloading it right now!
