Audio random access
Audio Random Access ( ARA ) is an extension of audio interfaces such as VST or AU , which was developed by Celemony Software and Presonus Software and allows the exchange of additional information between the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW for short) and audio plug-ins . A plug-in with ARA not only receives the current audio data from the DAW at the moment of playback, but also has access to the complete audio data of a sequencer arrangement before and after the playback position. In practice, this eliminates the need to transfer audio data to a plug-in, as is currently necessary when working with Melodyne without ARA. The workflow when working with Melodyne becomes faster and allows editing in real time. In addition, ARA allows audio data already analyzed by Melodyne to be converted into MIDI data by simply dragging and dropping in the sequencer .
ARA must be supported by both the DAW and the plug-in and does not appear as a stand-alone software, but is integrated into compatible DAWs and plug-ins. ARA is u. a. in Melodyne editor, assistant and essential from version 1.3, Melodyne studio from version 4, in Cubase from version 10.0.30, in Logic Pro X from version 10.4, in Presonus Studio One from version 2, in Cakewalk Sonar from version X3 and built into Samplitude Pro from version X3. The software development kit has been released so that other manufacturers can support ARA.
