- From multi-track recording, audio editing, and composition to mixing and CD mastering ? whatever you have planned, you music is the main focus!
- Whether solo artist or an entire band, this program will let anyone create amazing new tunes. A rich feature set and an extensive number of first class virtual instruments will help you with that.
- The improved recording workspace gets you started right away and comes with lots of useful extras, such as tuners for guitars and bass or info boxes with tips and tricks related to music production.
- The revised FX rack provides access to all effects that are important. Integrated effects such as the 10-band equalizer, reverb, delay as well as the pitch and tempo sections use Samplitude Pro Audio technology and meet the highest quality standards.
- Let the authentic effects from a unique category surprise you: the Vintage Effects Suite offers classic effects devices like chorus, flanger, delay, distortion, filter, and tape simulation.
My first project was to fix recordings of the Schubert Flute Variations and the third movement of the Prokofiev Flute Sonata on my web site. The existing files were taken from a cassette tape recording of one of my DMA recitals at the University of Miami from over twenty years ago, and had two major faults. The speed and resultant pitch was too high and the sound was a bit muffled through bad mic placement. (Do not record flutes with one mic forward and one sideways as there are two sources of sound on the flute. This placement will result in muted upper partials in the flute sound as the two sources of sound get out of phase with one another.)
I used the Time/Pitch Timestretching function to achieve the correct pitch level and then used the reverb effect to smooth out and clarify the sound. Adding a few upper partials, no doubt. The reverb controls are virtual pots that control the size, color, time, and mix of the reverb. The pitch control was a simple slider with a box for the value.
Anyway, I am very happy with the program. It allows a totally neutral manipulation of the sound, which as a classical musician, I really appreciate. I have several audio files of performances that I will be posting in the near future and will enjoy using Samplitude to prepare.I used a Roland multi-track digital recording workstation for years that I paid over $1,000.00 for to record CD's. It had tons of features; however, it was MASSIVE and took up all of my desk space and then some (with all of its detached components). I sold this unit to begin looking at recording software, ProTools to be exact. While looking on Amazon for ProTools, I ran across Samplitude Producer. After some hesitation due to its being new, I decided to download the trial version of Samplitude to give it a try. Best decision I have made yet in regards to recording. This software is, in my opinion, just as good as ProTools and will save you about $500 in the process as well. Everything that I have needed thus far to record, mix, master, and "tweak" my music [and vocals of course] has been contained in this one software package. The interface is very clear and easy to navigate around in (I do recommend using at least two monitors, though..just to give yourself plenty of space for all the features). Each track has its own "mini-mixer" and then can be perfected later on using the master board. I am by no means an expert or a professional, but I do know a little bit about audio engineering, and this little software package is awesome. I would highly recommend Samplitude, to a seasoned pro as well as the beginner. The display can be changed to 4 or 5 different settings, each pre-established for different skill levels. Whether you are a recording professional, or are just beginning your endeavors in the world of audio recording, this software comes highly-recommended!
