What’s New in BeatCleaver 1.3.0?<\/h1>\n

Time Stretching<\/h2>\n

As we teased earlier in our Time Stretching Preview<\/a>, BeatCleaver now has a state-of-the-art time stretching engine so you can warp your samples to match a different tempo or change their pitch. What we really like about this particular time stretching engine is that it does a great job at preserving transients<\/em>, or the quick onset of musical events. In other words, it keeps your drums punchy even when they’re stretched, but also works to better preserve the character of harmonic instruments like pianos too. Try out the new time stretching feature and let us know what you think!<\/p>\n

Drag Export<\/h2>\n

To make the sampling workflow even faster, BeatCleaver now has a new Drag Export<\/em> mode that allows you to drag slices right out of the application and into a folder, your desktop, or even right into a DAW.<\/p>\n

\"You<\/a>

With the new Drag Export mode, you can now drag slices right out of BeatCleaver and into your DAW.<\/p><\/div>\n

FLAC Support<\/h2>\n

Due to popular demand, BeatCleaver can now read FLAC audio files for chopping. The FLAC audio file format uses “lossless” compression, meaning it’s a 100% perfect replica (just like WAVE) except that it offers substantially smaller files. Because of these advantages, FLAC has become the format of choice for vinyl rips and we’re excited that BeatCleaver can now be used on even more sampling material.<\/p>\n

On-the-Fly Chopping<\/h2>\n

Last but not least, we’ve added a new Slice at<\/em> Cursor<\/strong> button to BeatCleaver (with “S” as a shortcut key) that allows you to insert slice points during playback directly at the current playback position. In other words, you can chop a sample on-the-fly as it’s playing just by tapping the S key, cutting slices as you go along.<\/p>\n

Other Changes<\/h2>\n
