Wave as a Recording Remote
Next time you're in the studio recording a track, you can use Wave as a remote control to help manage your recordings from afar.
Using key commands, you can create a new track, hit record, and stop recording or mute a track—all while you play.
We've created presets for Ableton, Logic and Pro Tools to get you started.
First step: Make sure you are running the latest version of Softwave
Second step: Download presets for your DAW
- These preset banks were made on Mac. Some adjustment of key commands might be needed on Windows.
Logic Pro X
UP Button Creates new track (note that you need to press the button twice for it to register)
MIDDLE Button starts recording
DOWN Button stops recording and mutes the track
Pro Tools
Download Preset for Recording Remote
UP Button Disarms the current track and creates a new one
MIDDLE Button Moves cursor down a track, arms that track and starts recording
DOWN Button stops recording and mutes the track
- Note that you might need to type in the key command for playlist again, depending on your keyboard language.
Download Preset for Playlist Remote
UP Button Creates a new playlist on the selected track
MIDDLE Button starts recording
DOWN Button stops recording
- As users generally like to make playlists in Pro Tools this preset allows you to do that
Ableton Live
UP Button creates a new track and arms it
MIDDLE Button starts recording
DOWN Button stops recording, disarms and mutes the track
- Note that Ableton doesn’t allow mapping to ‘Mute’ and ‘Arm’ so we have been using a Max 4 Live patch called Futility (version 3.3) -> https://gumroad.com/l/FKHsF
- It costs $3 but is worth it. You load it to your sessions master track and for the preset bank to work you need to Key Map the Mute button to ‘m’ and the Arm button ‘r’.
