Object-Based Editing

Every aspect of your audio project is in your hands with Sequoia’s object-based editing. Break your tracks into as many objects as you need and position them anywhere on the timeline. Every object has custom fades, effects, automations, and even routing. Object-based editing gives you real-time control over every parameter so that you can tweak, refine, and perfect your sound at the most granular level.
