You'll trigger Live Loops in real time, record audio and software instruments, create and edit sequences, and build arrangements. You'll create both acoustic and electronic virtual drum performances. You'll use Quick Sampler to create stutter effects and vocal chop, and explore ear candy production techniques, such as parallel processing and turntable start and stop effects. You'll use Smart Controls to map knobs, buttons, and drum pads on a MIDI controller or an iPad. You'll harness the power of Smart Tempo to sync up all your audio and MIDI.
