This product can be authorized by an iLok (not included) or a computer. Includes a license for 1 DAW. Licenses for additional DAWs are $99 each. Please call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have questions.

Multi-touch display is sharp, bright, and looks great at any angle

Built from the ground up using leading-edge touchscreen technology, the Steven Slate Audio RAVEN MTi2's 27" multi-touch display was tailor-made for pro audio applications. Providing you with a commercial-grade LED backlit screen and components from industry-standard display manufacturers, the MTi2 is sharp, bright, and looks great at any angle. It boasts HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels), and it's very low on power consumption and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) emissions. And it's comfortable. At Sweetwater, we love the smooth feel of the MTi2's slick glass-coated surface.

FADERS 3.0 software removes all obstacles between you and your DAW

The RAVEN MTi2 employ's Steven Slate Audio's FADERS 3.0 multi-touch control software, which gives you complete hands-on access to faders, pans, mutes, solos, sends, automation, plug-in inserts - virtually all of your DAW's functions. You'll love the visceral thrill of tweaking controls with your fingers, almost like outboard gear. And with a resolution of up to eight times a classic 100mm fader, you'll be able to write automation with never-before-seen precision and detail. The FADERS 3.0 algorithm also imparts a virtual "feel" to the faders that allows for intuitive feeling actions. Not only are they comfortable, they're a blast to use!

RAVEN Toolbar puts your controls where you want them

Anchored directly in front of your hands at the base of the Steven Slate AudioRAVEN MTi2's touch display, the user-customizable RAVEN Toolbar puts your DAW's controls exactly where you want them. You get transport controls, an Edit/Mix window selector, and convenient tools for tracking, such as Record Looping, Click, Create Group, and Undo. On top of that, the RAVEN NAVPAD lets you use intuitive multi-touch gestures to perform Scrub/Shuttle, Waveform Zoom, Track Zoom, and Track Banking.

RAVEN Batch Command System executes up to a thousand key commands and mouse clicks automatically

Steven Slate Audio's RAVEN Batch Command System will boost your productivity. As a series of preset and customizable buttons that can execute up to 1,000 key commands and mouse clicks automatically, BCS creates instant headphone sends, names tracks, places a drum track group on the grid, exports stems, and more. BCS comes with 96 pre-defined commands in eight window sets. Macro commands are easy to program with QUICKLIST, which features hundreds of predefined Pro Tools operations and Music and Post Production commands. Simply touch and hold a batch command button to edit, and you've got access to a myriad of possibilities. The record feature records a macro from scratch and saves it to a touch button for immediate deployment any time you need it.

Wildly configurable, RAVEN improves workflow, increases productivity right out of the box

I'd been looking at RAVEN for quite a while so I was familiar with the major sell points. I've been using it now for about a month and a half and have had no issues with the hardware or functionality. I haven't even begun to customize the layout or batch commands, and it has still helped streamline my process and improve productivity. I'm using it with a 2017 iMac, ProTools 2021.3, mostly Slate, Waves and Avid plugins without issue. The goal now is getting a second. It's difficult to not keep tapping my iMac display to change settings on plugins parked there.

Raven MTi2 - Amazing time saver!

I just switched over to a Raven MTi2 form a physical control mixing surface.

I am amazed at how much it has sped up my work flow by saving multiple mouse clicks etc. I was up and running within an hour and it took me about 3 days of use in the studio to get use to "touching" everything on my screen. Besides doing music production, recording, and mastering I do post production and sound design for film and TV.

The coolest things besides the built in presets with operational shortcuts (very time saving) is being able to draw automation with my finger and actually tweak the controls on my plug-ins in real time. I also like the "fine faders option" for the mix console which is very accurate.

The only negative thing I have to say is that I use Logic Pro X (primarily) and also Pro Tools and Digital Performer. You are required to purchase and additional software license... for each additional DAW that you use.

Other than that I highly recommend this product.

The Future Of Mixing

This thing is truly amazing! In the short time I have had mine it has already revolutionized my workflow.

Many people ask "Can't I get the same experience by buying a regular touchscreen?", and the answer is a resounding "No"!

The big difference comes via the built-in software. The Raven can do things that no other touchscreen can do within a DAW because of its powerful technology under the hood, integrates so beautifully with your DAW.

The many advantages of using a Raven are numerous, but probably the biggest and best one is the "Batch Command System", which allows you to assign up to 1,000 commands to a single button! The Raven comes with about 100 factory preset batch commands, but also allows you to record your own. Imagine being able to create shortcut buttons for mundane tasks that you do on every single song….game changer!

The other big thing I love about it is the ability to completely customize the touchscreen layout to whatever suits your needs and workflow. This level of control is absolutely wonderful, and I'm still just getting the idea of how amazingly helpful this can be.

It does take a while to set up, but Slate gives step-by-step instructions on how to do it, and they have also released how-to videos on YouTube to help out. I found them to be very useful. There is also a little bit of a learning curve and workflow adjustment period, but it has proven to be worth the effort in my opinion.

It's not for the light hearted Newbies.

This thing is the future. It's accurate and vastly customizable with a crazy number of shortcuts and Macros and gestures. All customizable! The multitouch works flawlessly. It does not take up much processing at all and the screens may be 1080 but the quality is Apple level. Not a single review of this product does justice to it. It's rather expected as most people don't believe in hardwork and understanding something complex to carve an impossibly functional and accessible set up for complex tasks such as scoring a blockbuster.

Exactly what my home studio needed!

I had a controller from a different brand, and while I was pretty happy with it I found myself only using it for the faders (static mix, writing automation and so on).

The Raven has transformed my workflow making it so much more intuitive to genuinely get my hands on my projects and get more done faster.

As always, the deal and customer service from Sweetwater is always top class.
