Shakers are deceptively difficult to work with. Move one forward or backward a few milliseconds, and the entire composition can sound better, worse, lazier, more tense, or more expressive. And when you layer multiple shaker parts, the slightest mismatches between their peaks create a subtle blur—the kind you don’t notice until you fix it.

One-click groove alignment:
Shake n Bake automatically aligns shaker layers. Select a leading layer, and the other layers will be perfectly aligned with it. Fine-tune the alignment using the density and offset controls.
Four-layer stacking
: Load up to four percussion instruments simultaneously: eggs, maracas, caxixi, tubas, or any combination thereof. Create dense, textured percussion compositions. Use the carefully designed controls to achieve the perfect sound.
Fine-tune controls:
Auto-align, tension, shift, and stitch. Adjust the timing and balance of each layer to ensure the stack is positioned exactly where you want it.
Export Audio Samples
: Export the entire aligned stack or individual tracks in WAV format and drag them into your DAW for further processing. Trim, resample, or print the track.
