Artists shaping the future of sound don’t just need tools—they need partners in precision, depth, and innovation. While many DAWs promise power, few deliver the seamless fusion of studio finesse and broadcast-grade reliability like Sequoia. It’s not just another platform for mixing; it’s the silent force behind Grammy-winning masters, cinematic soundscapes, and live broadcasts that demand zero compromise.
A New Dimension in Audio: Dolby Atmos & ADM
Immersive audio is no longer a luxury—it’s the standard. Where other platforms retrofit spatial features, Sequoia integrates them at the core. With native Dolby Atmos rendering, engineers can sculpt sound in true 3D space, placing audio objects with surgical accuracy. Whether you're mastering a surround-heavy film score or producing a spatial music release, the experience feels less like editing and more like sculpting with sound.
At the heart of this capability lies the new ADM (Audio Definition Model) editor. Unlike third-party plugins that add complexity, Sequoia’s built-in ADM environment allows direct manipulation of metadata, object positioning, and bed configurations—all within a clean, intuitive interface. No round-tripping, no compatibility hiccups. Just pure, unbroken workflow from creation to delivery.
Why Top Studios Choose Sequoia
- Broadcast-Ready Precision: Trusted by major broadcasters for its rock-solid stability during live-to-air sessions.
- Non-Destructive Editing: Make bold changes without altering original files—perfect for iterative mastering.
- Flexible Integration: Works seamlessly alongside Pro Tools, Nuendo, and custom studio pipelines via AAF/OMF exchange.
- Advanced Metering: Integrated loudness monitoring compliant with EBU R128, ATSC A/85, and ITU-R BS.1770 standards.
The Mastering Workbench That Thinks Ahead
Sequoia isn’t designed for general music production—it’s engineered for the final mile. The mastering suite offers sample-accurate editing down to the waveform level, allowing restoration, crossfade optimization, and spectral repair with unmatched clarity. Its Direct Offline Processing (DOP) engine enables batch rendering of effects without real-time playback, saving hours on large-scale projects.
For classical and jazz engineers, the Auto Split function uses intelligent transient detection to divide long recordings into individual tracks—ideal for live concert transfers. And with CD Mastering Mode, PQ coding, ISRC embedding, and DDP export are streamlined into a single, auditable workflow.
Live Broadcast Meets Studio Perfection
What sets Sequoia apart is its dual identity: a meticulous studio tool and a resilient live companion. In broadcast environments, where failure isn’t an option, Sequoia’s Red Book-compliant recording ensures CD-quality archives are captured flawlessly during live performances. Its support for redundant storage, hot-swappable drives, and remote control via Lua scripting makes it a favorite among radio networks and streaming producers.
Imagine switching from a live orchestral broadcast to post-session cleanup—all within the same timeline, same project file, same trusted environment. That’s the kind of continuity few DAWs can match.
Workflow Without Friction
Engineers spend too much time fighting software. Sequoia reduces friction at every turn. Its customizable workspace adapts to your role—whether you're a mastering engineer, dialogue editor, or broadcast technician. Keyboard shortcuts are fully programmable, and macros can automate repetitive tasks like file naming, format conversion, or metadata tagging.
The Clip Inspector gives instant access to gain, fade curves, pitch correction, and time-stretch settings across multiple clips. And with VST3 support and 64-bit processing, resource-heavy plugins run smoothly even on complex sessions.
Integration That Just Works
In high-pressure environments, compatibility is king. Sequoia supports:
| Format | Use Case |
|---|---|
| WAV/BWF | Master delivery, broadcast archives |
| AIFF | Cross-platform collaboration |
| MXF | Broadcast automation systems |
| DDP | Digital distribution masters |
Whether delivering to a label, network, or streaming platform, Sequoia ensures your audio arrives exactly as intended—metadata intact, timing perfect, quality uncompromised.
