Mix-and-match Loop Production

Loops—short, repeating audio clips—are the creative building blocks of today’s music. Session software includes hundreds of professionally recorded loops that you can use to create instant backing tracks, no experience needed. What’s more, Session makes it easy to audition loops until you find the perfect ones. With Session, making music is as simple as drag and drop.

Record Professional-sounding Vocals

Session Music Producer includes the Producer USB microphone, created by the same M-Audio engineers that design recording technology for top studios around the world. Producer USB features a large diaphragm to capture the subtle nuances of male and female vocal performances. And, unlike many USB mics, the included software drivers allow you to listen to your performance in real time—without the annoying delays that otherwise plague computer-based recording.

Play Piano, Synths and More

Session includes a huge virtual instrument library with everything from classic sounds like pianos and basses to pop- and rock-inspired synths and sound effects. Just connect a USB keyboard like M-Audio’s Session KeyStudio and you’re good to go. Session even helps you find and audition the right instruments, whether the sound you’re looking for is a bold concert grand or funky hip-hop synth. Just select a sound and start playing.

Mixmaster in the House

In addition to putting hundreds of sounds at your fingertips, the included Session software transforms your PC into a full-featured studio. Since the software was designed to be easy and intuitive, you can go from playing to recording with the click of a button. When you start a new song or track, Session automatically configures and guides you through the creative process. And when you want a new sound or effect, Session helps you find just the right one. It’s that simple.

For the finishing touch, Session has everything you need to turn your jams and mixes into polished, professional-sounding productions. Sweeten a vocal with reverb and echo, pump up the bass or put some serious thump in your drum loops with powerful equalization and compression tools.

Running GarageBand on your Mac?

The Producer USB microphone makes it easy to create professional-sounding podcasts and polished music productions in GarageBand. Simply plug the mic directly into your computer’s USB port, record your vocals and instruments, then apply GarageBand’s built-in effects for the finishing touch.
