Anyone know of a good wav sequencer? Now that I can add a wav file to my animations with PAR VCR I need a good sequencer to assemble the wav file with. Everything I have seen or used wouldn't do. Wav editing programs will record and mix two tracks but not in real time. If I were syncronizing a sound effect with a PAR animation and already had background music then I would have to mix the two audio tracks, test them in real time, and if they didn't work out then I would have to start with the original sound tracks from scratch again when I should be able to just adjust the offset of the sound effect from the music track and have the program recreate the new wav file. Cakewalk will do this but it wont generate a single output wav file which is needed for the PAR VCR. What I am really looking for is a "video post" for audio type progam. Where I can visually slide tracks back and forth and then listen to the compilation in real time, do any adjusting that might need be done, and compile the final result out to a single wav file. Anyone seen this? Thanks, Daniel

Daniel, Give a look at "wave" from Turtle Beach, It allows you to show the wave timeline in SMTE format. If you know the Frame time, your all set. Wont do the real time stuff, but is quite accurate and flexable. Cheers, Tom

The best "real time" wave program is also by Turtle Beach — it's called Quad Studio, and is a 4 track digital recorder via software. Because you can bounce the tracks down, you have unlimited digital tracks, and the final result is then bounced to a stereo WAV file for use anywhere. I use Quad Studio with Wave and it's the best sound combination around. The only downside is that Quad Studio only works with a Turtle Beach card (but they are the best sound cards around, so it's not that much of a drawback).
