A selection of audio editing features and instruments developed over time.
Podcasting - Editing speech through text.
We developed a podcast editing feature that uses transcriptions of the audio to edit it. By copying, cutting and pasting text, we can now editing the audio attached to it.
By providing specific selection states for words and gaps in between words, we could afford different user actions with precision.
Cursors
We introduced cursors to mimic text doc interactions. Copy and pasting a piece of text would in effect copy and paste the audio in the timeline.
We emphasised visually, the connection between selected states in the transcript and the corresponding audio.
Toolbar
We surfaced the common audio editing actions into the text editing toolbar.
Ai powered rhythm variations.
We worked with a research lab to re-appropriate their ideas into user facing features in the studio. One of them was the Rhythm transfer - a tool to transform any midi recording into different rhythmic versions of itself.
Patterns Beatmaker
We developed this beatmaker which went through numerous iterations. It was pretty similar to many beatmakers except for how you could lock it in cycle mode and make the beatmaker scroll automatically to follow the playhead’s position on the project. It was one of the few browser based beatmakers of this sort and we earned a patent for it.
