Propellerhead Record is a program for Windows designed to help you record multitrack compositions. It offers various special effects and advanced audio processing settings, as well as plugin support.

Editing

Similar to Cubase, this utility allows you to copy entire tracks and channels. This is particularly useful when doubling segments or recording layers. Additionally, you may use the channel strip to transfer settings, move specific sections and insert special effects.

It is necessary to mention that this application is designed with convenience in mind, so it stores all of the used audio in one large file. When working with large multitrack projects you can reduce its size by selecting the Save And Optimize option in the File menu.

Advanced functions

The software also allows you to combine any number of individual effects, splitters and mergers, as well as instruments into a single savable device. Moreover, you can map key parameters to custom panel knobs.

In addition to that, you are able to slow down tracks by 60bpm or more without interfering with the sound. If you are planning on recording a difficult part of the song, you can try decreasing the speed of the entire track and playing the part slower.
