Ozapell Music Studio 2 serves several purposes in music development and composition.
Before starting, however, the user will need a selection of sound samples (in wave file format) to use with the program. There are many sources for these including digitizing sounds using the line in of a sound card, collecting samples from CDs such as those that contain a variety of samples for use in music development, or generating new sounds using wave editing software.
Ozapell Music Studio 2 allows the user to arrange how these sound samples will be used. There are up to 64 separate pages where the sounds can be arranged across 32 beats. Each beat will represent a unit of time based on the tempo setting of the page.
Each track represents a single sound sample (in wave file format). The sound is selected by left-clicking on the track name and then using the file browser to find the wave for that track.
Each of the 32 beats can be activated or deactivated by left-clicking on them individually. Holding down the shift key while left-clicking will inverse all beats for that track.
Each page, track, and beat has its own Properties Window. Each page, track, and beat can have its own filters applied to it. There are also special options such as import and export that allow the user to move the data for the page, track, or beat elsewhere in the project or to another project.
Filter plug-ins alter the sound during processing. The original wave file is not altered. This allows the user to test different combinations until the wanted sound is found.
The Volume Control Window allows the user to change the volume settings for all 16 tracks. This allows for simpler mixing and fine-tuning of the volume settings of each track in relation to each other.
After one or more pages have been developed, the user can then move to the "Step 2: Command Design" page. This will allow the user to arrange how the pages will be placed within the final wave file. Pages can be arranged and repeated in many ways. Additionally, pages can be mixed together allowing for more than 16 tracks in a single unit of time.
Finally, the "Step 3: Process" page allows the user to generate the final wave file.
