Muse Group has announced upgrades to Muse Hub and Audacity, making it easier for users to preview and use new sounds, loops and FX plug-ins.
Muse Hub has partnered with developers — including Solid State Logic, Baby Audio, ACE Studio, WavTool and others – to offer a variety of production tools, including:
- Standalone Apps: From accessible Muse Group favorites to AI music composition and podcast production tools. These include apps that transform MIDI into vocal parts or split recorded samples into MIDI stems for projects.
- Plug-ins: Compatible with Audacity or any third-party DAW, Muse Hub plug-ins range from virtual instruments to easily-tweaked effects.
- Muse Sounds: Designed for effortless, beautiful playback within notation apps MuseScore Studio, find unique editions of prestigious sample libraries from iconic sound designers Spitfire Audio, Orchestral Tools, Vienna Symphonic Library and more.
- Loops & Samples: Royalty-free and ready-made samples, sound effects, tracks and kits to drop directly into productions to create instant hits.
Audacity 3.6 has also been updated to support the Muse Hub changes.
In addition to a long-awaited visual refresh, the free desktop app now includes a new master channel for adding production and effects to tracks. Two new realtime effects for mastering dynamic range are also available: a Compressor and Limiter.
Both Muse Hub and Audacity are both available now as free downloads.
Personally I just use Audacity for a little recording and chopping audio up, finding it more suitable than a DAW for certain tasks.
I’ve been unable to get this question answered though and maybe one of y’all can help:
Is it possible, when using a multichannel audio interface, to record just inputs 5 and 6, for example? It seems as though i can only record a stereo 2 track file from inputs 1 and 2, which i’m growing tired of patching up each time to inputs 1/2.
I’ve not tried the Muse Hub yet. It it just like an app store but for loops, apps, plugins? Some free some pay? I assume you have to enter a payment method? I’m hesitant.
Audacity is a more than adequate tool for basic audio editing. Love to use this for simple tasks like: precisely cutting the beginning/ending parts, fade in/out, volume normalising, and rendering the final WAV file. The look and feel reminds me of the old Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio, that is currently in the hands of Magix. You can now even work with audio loop files, and VST effects were already possible. Throw in the free Valhalla Supermassive VST, and you already have a simple Ambient workspace.
