Cakewalk have announced “Momentum,” a platform for songwriters, producers and musicians. Record song ideas, lyrics, melodies, and more on any Mac, Windows, iOS, or Android device. Your ideas sync to the cloud and back up automatically, so they’re always at your fingertips. The included Mac/Win VST/AU/AAX plug-in works with any DAW, which makes it easy to drag and drop ideas from the cloud when you’re ready to turn your ideas into projects. You can even send songs from your DAW back into Momentum for additional development while away from your computer—like coming up with lyric ideas for melodies or chord progressions.
Momentum can record up to four tracks, with editing, looping, and effects. It also keeps your ideas organized in the Momentum “Ideaspace,” with tagging and easy retrieval to smooth and speed up the creative process.
“Today, musicians are hustling to keep up with fans, emails, shows, recording, and usually a day job—who has time and energy to fire up a giant studio DAW just to throw down a great new idea?” explains Alex Westner, Cakewalk’s VP Product Strategy & Innovation. “The truth is, we all have decent microphones in our pockets--we can capture our ideas anytime, anywhere on our smartphones. With Momentum, we’re also helping musicians get their ideas out of voice-memo-purgatory and seamlessly into their favorite DAW, where they can turn their ideas into songs.”
Momentum is ideal for songwriters, producers and musicians who find ideas and inspiration on the fly. It has been designed to inspire creativity anywhere.
