Arrange sound cues on a beat grid, preview the complete mix and hand off a stereo WAV with exact cue positions. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Sequence, name the mix and set its tempo. Add up to eight cues from the bundled catalog. 2. Set quarter-beat start positions and individual gains. Save the sequence for later revisions. 3. Render the complete mix, listen, and share the verified WAV with its cue map. Browse, Studio, saved collections, Search, cue handoff and production references remain available in five tabs. Sequence playback has its own controls without a catalog-player overlay. WHAT TO KNOW Rendering uses 48 kHz stereo and includes full synthesized reverb tails. A single master gain prevents sample clipping; this is not loudness or true-peak mastering. Up to eight clips, 60 seconds of rendered audio and 50 saved sequences. Cues can overlap. iPhone and iPad.
