Production Suite with a step-by-step introduction. A systematic description of
the program functions can be found in the PDF manual.

interactive tutorial that may be opened via the welcome dialog.
Play Demo Project
The large area with the horizontal tracks is the Arranger. Here you can edit and
make changes to the positions of multimedia objects.
In the lower section of the program interface you can find the Media Pool. You
can switch between the different areas. In Soundpools you will find the
included loops that you can load into the arrangement by drag & drop while
holding the mouse key or by double-clicking. The File Manager works similarly
to Windows
®
Explorer with some additional features. Here, professionally
produced sounds can be downloaded from the Catooh and integrated directly.
