![]() Unfortunately Muzys died in a cooperation deal accident. With my previous project, “Muzys”,I could already reach a nice level in realizing my dream about the ‘ideal’ music workstation. Jo, MuTools: Yes, step by step MuLab and the MUX are growing in the direction I always dreamt of. SoundBytes: When you first started creating Mu lab, did you imagine that this project would grow to where it is today? That’s what will keep me busy the next few months. I can’t say much about that now because they still are dreams and I need to research them in order to work out a concrete plan. ![]() FM synthesis, step sequencing), and last but not least I have some nice dreams regarding new ways of workflow which can boost the musical creativity. support for REX, parallel editing…), also extending the sonic power of the MUX (e.g. It will be a combination of adding extra ‘standard’ features (e.g. But I’m already also dreaming about MuLab & MUX 6. Jo, MuTools: Absolutely! There will certainly be some MuLab 5.x updates with nice further developments. SoundBytes: Do you already now have any plans for future enhancements to Mu lab? I’m also very thankful to all power users for their vital feedback! But at the same time it was a very creative period and creativity also creates new energy. Well, it has been very intense months with long working days. Jo, MuTools: Good question! Sometimes I wonder myself. SoundBytes: Seeing how many improvements there are, how did you manage to pull this off? MuClips are also handy for creating preset drum patterns, bass loops etc., it’s a very feature! MuClips are definitely a key feature in consolidating all those little sketch ideas/jams musicians create for now, these ideas can be easily reused in other sessions and/or combined with each other. Jo, MuTools: Even though it may not be a pure original feature, sometimes you just need to add more standard features so as to make MuLab more complete. SoundBytes: Tell us about MuClips, what makes it original to some of the systems we’ve seen in the competition? Because the less musicians have to think about technical aspects, the better for their musical workflow! So now MuLab users can insert more synths and effects before reaching the bounds of the system, and of course that improves the musical workflow. Parallel audio processing is a key feature these days and the importance will grow even further the next years. Jo, MuTools: Multi-core support, without doubt. SoundBytes:Which is the most prominent new feature in your opinion? At the same time releasing M5 also creates eagerness to start designing the next M6 Jo, MuTools: I’m happy and proud! It has been an intense trip towards MuLab 5 with the R&D of multi-core support, the integrated browser, etc. SoundBytes: How does it feel to see MuLab 5 released to the public? SoundBytes Magazine wanted to have a few words with Jo from MuTools, so we contacted him to ask a few questions. Good news for those of us who like to write complex tracks. Being made to work with multi-core support, at long last, the user will not be restrained as previously to limit the track-amount or use of instruments due to legacy code. Like many other digital audio workstations, it comes with its own set of instruments and effects, but can be made to work equally well with the immensely popular VST-standard. But despite different tastes when it comes to what an interface should look like, it would be stupid to neglect the power this superficially simple workstation. ![]() The aesthetics remain quite simple – too simple for some people’s taste while others find it beautiful. MuLab is inexpensive, costing less than 70 euro’s for MuLab Ultimate, it also sports a modular interface where power-users can create their own effects, and route things nearly freely through the interface. There have been a lot of changes recently. Readinxg the change-log is a daunting task. This version has bought repeatedly requested features such as multi-core enhancements, as well as clip functionality and multi-monitor support. MuTools just released the fifth installation of their growing DAW, MuLab. We think you’ll find what he has to say of interest. SoundBytes wanted to have a few words with Jo from MuTools, so we contacted him to briefly ask a few questions.
