Max lets you easily record any audio traveling through a patchcord and immediately play back the results. Slice it up, slow it down, granulate, or come up with your own ways to play with recorded audio. Import audio samples to trigger, loop, and manipulate however you like.
Hear from Jamie Lidell Playback from multiple sample points
With Max, you can create your own mixers, bussing, and complex audio routing structures by patching it all together. With pre-made tools for surround mixing and a direct connection to your audio hardware, you can create sound that moves through space and experiment with unusual speaker configurations.
