Audio Tracks

Record and play back audio, and build an audio processing chain like a vocal channel.

Alongside MIDI, Skene supports audio tracks for recording and playing back audio — vocals, guitars, or any input source — on the same clip-based timeline.

Building an audio chain

An audio track runs its clips through a processing rack, just like an instrument track. A simple vocal chain might add EQ, compression, and reverb in series.

Captured audio becomes a clip you can trim and arrange on the timeline. See also the standalone Audio Recorder for quickly capturing the master output or an input.
