Cohler Classical brings unrivaled Source-Destination editing to REAPER. With 9 source track groups and 1 destination per tab, each completely collapsible track group can contain any number of tracks. Each group is set up identically, and you can cut and paste audio from any source to the destination with automatic crossfades, in one click or keystroke. The track groups are color coded, and each has its own set of 99 same-color markers for ease of editing. Furthermore, each track group has its own IN and OUT markers for quickly choosing sections of audio. Because the groups are identical, you can simply drag and drop takes between tracks as you organize your edit, and because the mixer is identical between track groups, the takes sound the same no matter where you place them.
The Cohler Classical Crossfade Editor is so much simpler, faster and more powerful than those in Pyramix, Pro Tools, Sequoia, SADiE, or soundBlade it’s hard to describe. But seeing is believing. All adjustments can be made using a click-and-drag interface! And for those old-fashioned folks who still like to type numbers and spin dials, you can do that as well. Here is just a partial list of the features:
Marc-André Hamelin
Toccata on “L’homme armé”
Marc-André Hamelin, piano
Camille Saint-Saëns
Concerto No. 1 in A Minor, Op. 33
Sheku Kanneh-Mason, cello
London Philharmonia
“5 stars: energetic and finely crafted performances; Jonathan Cohler and [the Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra] present excellent interpretations that should be the standard for Mozart”
“…an exceptionally transparent and vivid recording that “hears” everything…”
“The recording is supremely involving…”
“The recorded sound is excellent; impactful and sharply defined, but without a trace of artificial enhancement or spotlighting…”
“In the modern era the two best recordings… came from Stoltzman (RCA) and Harold Wright (DG). Cohler’s account shines just as brightly, and it has enough added verve and style for me to prefer it.”
—Fanfare
“5 stars: …large-scaled performances filled with musical passion… [Vitkauskaite] plays the solo part as boldly as Rudolf Serkin, and [Cohler] conducts with more dramatic force than George Szell…”
“…engineering that combines inner detail with overall impact. The full dynamic range of the piano is vividly conveyed, as is the dynamic range of Mozart’s score…”
“… the orchestral sound in these performances is extremely vivid. The strings are marvelously rich at the opening of the Mozart, yet the horn cuts through with absolute clarity. The recording also conveys the orchestra with a keen spatial sense: I heard the interplay between winds and strings in both concertos as precisely located, though my listening system is nothing fancy.”
“…warm recorded sounds…”
—Fanfare
Felix Mendelssohn
Song without Words, Op. 67, No. 2
Joseph Gotoff, cello
Sangyoung Kim, piano
