“It was time to reconsider music recording from a musician’s perspective,” said CEO Ernst Nathorst-Böös. “We wanted a programme that did not distract musicians with an overabundance of complicated features inherited from older applications. We developed new software from the ground up using current software and computer architectures to support, rather than interrupt, musical flow. The result is Record. We did what we have always done: help people make more and better music.”
Recording Done Right
The idea was to combine the feel of an expensive studio with the simplicity of a tape deck. Built-in Line 6 POD guitar amplifiers provided guitarists with a range of sounds. Record’s mixer was modelled on the SSL 9000 console, with flexible routing, dynamics processing, EQ, effects and full automation.
Propellerhead said Record used modern computing power efficiently, removing concerns about track counts, latency or additional effects, while its interface supported musical flow.
Price and Availability
Record entered beta testing and was scheduled for specialist retail release on September 9, 2009 at €299.
Bundles with other Propellerhead products were also planned.
