Sequoia

The Sequoia software draws upon years of cooperation with experienced producers and sound engineers to tackle every challenge faced by modern professional recording studios. Besides a wide array of proven recording and editing tools, Magix Sequoia also offers outstanding editing and crossfade functionality. The production software also includes intuitive source/destination cutting, excellent marker setup, and an efficient realtime crossfade editor.

Sequoia needs no special Digital Signal Processor or audio hardware and works natively on host CPUs. The program can run on a laptop just as well as it does on a PC plugged into the studio, meaning you can transfer your projects to mobile workstations”or anywhere else, for that matter. You remain completely independent until the project is completed while enjoying those possibilities normally only offered by a fully equipped studio: multitrack recording, professional cutting, high-end effects (such as the real-time space simulator or sound restoration tools), a complete digital mixer, real-time CD/DVD burning functionality, and much, much more.

Sequoia was designed for the requirements of modern, effective collaboration. Within a network, multiple users can work simultaneously with the software. The integrated administration functions permit the assignment of individual rights of access and program configurations.

For years, Sequoia has been an integral part of leading broadcast and mastering studios worldwide, including the BBC, German public broadcasters WDR and MDR, Radio Bremen, the Viennese Symphonic Library, and Sterling Sound in New York. For sound engineers, music producers, radio journalists, or cutters, Sequoia is an indispensable tool for any type of professional media production. Registered users enjoy professional service, customer-oriented support, an exclusive forum, and free support.
