In Canvas, every sound has a place.

Your whole mix, laid out as a room you can see into.

This is a sound.

Say, your vocal. Canvas draws it live from the audio, as a glowing shape of light.

Left to right is pan.

Where the sound sits between your speakers.

Up and down is tone.

Bass lives near the floor, air near the ceiling. Lift a sound and it gets brighter. Lower it and it gets warmer.

Front to back is volume.

Louder sounds come toward you. Quieter ones fall back.

Now bring in the band.

Put Canvas on every track. Open any one of them and you see the whole mix.

See the problem?

The keys are sitting right on top of the vocal, and the kick and bass are fighting over the low end. You'd hear it as mud. Here, you can see it.

Move it to fix it.

Drag the keys somewhere free. Canvas turns the move into real pan and EQ on the track.

Or let them take turns.

Tell the bass to make space for the kick. Every time the kick hits, the bass ducks out of its way, only at the frequencies where they collide.

Or start from a whole mix.

Mix presets recognise your tracks (kick, bass, vocals) and rebalance all of them in one click.

Your turn.

Grab any sound and move it around the room.

What you can do with it

The room is how you see your mix. These are the tools you use to shape it.

Move it, hear it

Drag a sound to pan it and change its tone in one move. Lift it for more top end, lower it for more warmth. Pull its edges to make it wider. Grab the top or bottom to add or take away highs and lows. Scroll over it to turn it up or down.

When you want the detail

The canvas gets you most of the way, fast. For finer tonal control, open the EQ editor on any track and adjust it band by band, with exact values when you need them. It's one click away, and the canvas keeps up with every change you make.

Make space for what matters

Two sounds fighting? Tell one to make space for the other. It ducks out of the way only at the frequencies where they collide, only when they collide. Set how much and how fast, and choose whether it follows the volume or the hits.

Everything else

Track presets

Hand-made presets for every instrument, from lo-fi snares to ear-bleed sound design. Save your own and use them on any track.

Mix presets

Canvas works out which track is the kick, the bass and the vocal, measures how loud each one is, and rebalances the whole mix in one click. It asks you to check anything it isn't sure about.

Move several at once

Drag a box around a few sounds, or Cmd-click them, and move them as one. Turn a whole section up or down together and the balance between them stays put. Group them to keep them together.

Focus

One switch narrows a sound to a single band of frequencies and keeps its volume where it was. It's a quick way to push a part into its own pocket.

Four kinds of width

Clean, Modern, Haas or PingPong, plus Mono Bass to keep the low end tight.

Reverb built in

Send a sound into the room with the built-in reverb, or load your own reverb plugin inside Canvas. Its tail can make space too.

Your chain, your order

Pan, width, EQ, volume, sidechain and reverb are all on each track's row. Drag them into any order.

Every track, one window

Every Canvas in your session sees the others. Open any one to see and edit the whole mix, with undo across all of it.
