Recording and Mixing

• Unlimited number of tracks in "Multitrack View"

• Files can be quickly edited together by dragging clips and controlling automatic cross-fades with on-clip handles

• Powerful low-latency mixing engine

• Recordable parameter automation allows the user to move volume, pan and effects controls while listening, and record the changes in real time. Changes appear as editable envelopes in the time-line

• Duplicate audio tracks

• Over fifty audio effects and DSP tools

• MIDI timecode (SMPTE/MTC) master or slave support allows for synchronizing audio playback with computers, video decks, or any hardware device that supports MTC

• Plug-in delay compensation

• Record up to eighty live inputs simultaneously in a multi-track session

Creation and Arrangement

• VSTi support. Record and edit MIDI in the piano roll editor

• Radius time stretching from iZotope can alter tempo without changing pitch, or change pitch without tempo distortion, using the high-quality time-stretch algorithm

• Analog-modeled guitar effects

• Video in Surround Encoder

• Flexible looping tools allow for quickly constructing high-quality music for songs or soundtracks. Loops automatically match global session tempo and key

• Includes approximately 5,000 performance-based, 32-bit royalty-free music loops in many styles

• Twenty royalty-free, ready-to-play music beds in 15- and 30-second lengths

• Beat detection finds and marks beats automatically making new loop file creation a snap. Greatly assists DJs and others who need to quickly match beats among multiple files

• MIDI files inserted into multi-track sessions play in sync with audio and video projects

Edit and Master

• Effects Paintbrush and Spot Healing Brush tool smooths over a selected region to automatically repair clicks, pops and other noises

• Automatic phase correction tool

• Adaptive Noise Reduction tool intelligently remove noise that changes over time, including whines, buzzes, colored noise from fans or airplanes, etc.

• Mastering effects provide everything from gain to reverb

• Spectral-frequency display tools and spectral pan and phase displays

• Integrated CD burning

• Delete Silence feature detects and removes silence between words or other sources

• Reduce or boost the vocal or instrumental portions of a track by isolating audio based on pan position or phase. Use this feature for powerful editing or to create a cappella or karaoke-ready tracks

• Group RMS normalization

• Broadcast Wave support

• High-quality sample rate conversions

• 24-bit/44.1, 48kHz USB audio recording interface

• Two Class-A XMAX microphone/instrument preamps

• Switchable 48V phantom power

• Balanced 1/4" TRS phone outputs

• Headphone output (1/4" TRS) with dedicated volume control

• MIDI input and output

• All metal chassis ready to withstand the rigors of the road

• Powered via the USB bus

• Cardioid Condenser Element

The 16mm low-mass diaphragm features a cardioid polar pattern. The cardioid pattern effectively minimizes ambient room noise, noise from adjacent instruments or vocalists and minimizes feed-back caused by monitors.

• Wide Frequency Response

The wide frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz allows accurate signal reproduction from any source.

• Wide Dynamic Range & Transient Response

The AT2020 boasts a wide dynamic range of 124dB (typical). The capsule reproduces loud signals and transients with minimal noise and peak distortion.

• Balanced XLR Connectors (M/F)

At each end, XLR connectors either have three pins (M) or sockets (F) within a locking metal shell. They are commonly used in professional audio applications to connect microphones, mixers, recording equipment and other gear. On typical XLR components, pin 1 is the +signal line, pin 2 is the -signal line and pin 3 is the ground/shield. This pin combination facilitates top-quality, low-noise, balanced audio, even across long-distance cable runs.

• Phantom Power

XLR cables are also capable of carrying DC "phantom power" to microphones on both the plus and minus signal lines. Shotgun and lavaliere microphones typically use phantom power or must use on-board batteries.

• Shielded Ground

The 3rd pin is connected to a copper-wound shield. Wrapped around the other two wires, this shield provides both an interference-blocking barrier and a grounded connection.

• Additional Lengths

This XLR cable is also available in additional cable lengths.
