An American 312 on the bass?

Each strip runs top to bottom like a console channel.

Six channel strips close up: Drums, Bass with an American 312 preamp, Pluck, Pad, Lead Synth and Drum Bus, showing their preamps, inserts, sends, pan and gain.
  1. A preamp solved from its circuit; its Gain is the real gain.
  2. Inserts: stock devices, or CLAP, VST3, LV2 and Audio Units plugins.
  3. Sends to the Echo and Space returns, before or after the fader.
  4. A parallel container squashing a copy of the drum bus.

Can it tune a vocal too?

The pitch editor with a sung phrase corrected to the key, and a transcribed speech clip in the Lyrics lane above the tracks.

Sung notes snapped to the key, their sung pitch faint behind.

Is it finished?

Not yet. Most of a working DAW is there.
