MuTools MuLab vs Pyramix

MuLab includes MUX Modular, a modular synth and effect engine, that can be used to create and edito own synths and effects patches.

MuLab is available in a free version and the full version is highly affordable at only 69 euro all in.

Can be installed and run on a portable device such as a USB stick.

Having a variety of integrated synths, samplers and effects removes the need for new user to search for and buy extra VST plug-ins in order to make sound.

MuLab has a clean, minimalistic interface that uses highly distinct icons sparingly making it easy to overview. Much of the functionality can be found in right-click menus.

In addition to having generally low resource consumption, MuLab is capable of taking advantage of multi-core CPUs and relieving the strain on machines even further that way.

Works on OSX and Windows.

MuLab includes oscillators with 300 selected waveforms and support for user waveforms.

With a dual monitor setup, Pyramix fills the main monitor with the Project Window, and the secondary monitor with secondary editing tools, VSTs, or any other features that are run separately from the main interface.

When importing an audio clip, Pyramix adjusts the tempo using a built in sample-rate conversion facility so that the clip will sound ideal.

The fade editor and cross-fade editor is a feature in Pyramix that is difficult to find in other DAWs. This editor lets users apply different envelopes to fades. This creates interesting effects for ambient sounds or clips that have been split and should fade in/out slowly.

Pyramix keeps a log if which actions have taken place, so instead of seeing "undo action", users can see exactly which edits they are modifying.

Pyramix uses the audio engine MassCore, which allows the program to reach ultra low latencies.
