Samplitude Overview
Introduction

Samplitude ranks among the most successful and ambitious solutions of its kind for PC-based audio authoring, editing and mastering.
The latest version offers many innovations while relying on important traditions - unique functionality and sound neutrality, excellent editing and processing options, perfect CD mastering and flexible adaptation to individual workflows Samplitude 9 is available in three versions:
Professional and Classic and Master .

Complete solution

Samplitude offers everything that a digital
audio work station requires: Recording,
mixing, editing mastering - in fact
everything up to and including the burning
of manufactured Red Book-compatible
audio CDs. You can of course also carry
out DVD productions in the standard 24
bit with up to 192 kHz. The feature set
allows a complete In-the-Box-Work, from
composing with MIDI and VSTi up to the
final CD in one software:
- Low-Latency-Audio-Engine,
- VST*- and DirectX-Plugins
- automatic latency compensation in the
  complete signal flow,
- external remote control
- realtime room simulator with convolution

Unique Object-oriented Editing

As an enhancement to the traditional concept of mixer-supported editing of complete tracks, all versions offer countless possibilities for direct real-time sample editing. Recorded audio tracks can thus be cut into as many objects as you wish.
Every object can be edited with individual fades and effects, such as Equalizer, Timestretching, Pitchshifting or plugins. Samplitude also offers Aux-Sends on the object level, the well-known linearphase mastering effects, and a widely variable signal flow.

First Class Effect Setups

From mixing to mastering, all production needs are met: Award-winning equalizers, various dynamic processors, Timestretching, Pitchshifting, Reverb and Delay, plus the high-end mastering effects: Multi-tape compressor, Multi-band stereo enhancer, FFT filter with over 30,000 bands, Amp Simulator, Vocoder, room simulator with folding principle, Denoiser (utilizing the noiseprint method) and Dehisser for real-time noise reduction. Besides routing possibilities for all effects that allow a freely configurable signal flow, these possibilities are not only available to the object level, but also in each mixer channel.
Further features: improved solo effects, unlimited routable busses and Aux-send busses, VST and DirectX plugin support, flexible routing of all integrated and plugin object effects and mixer channel effects.

Burning CDs

It couldn't be easier: Red Book-compatible audio CDs can be burnt on-the-fly from the arrangement, without having to take any destructive intermediary steps. The continuously updated support makes sure that even the latest models burn perfectly with Samplitude.

Track Speed and Stable Playback

Intelligent cache management means that the harddisk installed will be used to its fullest capacity - confining to history the old problem of too few tracks while producing with 24 bit/96 kHz. Stable playback: Arrangement playback has priority over all other operations such as opening menus. No more crashing or bumping playbacks.

Virtual Processing

With Samplitude you record
material live as you would with
multi-track equipment. Or you
load existing recordings from a
recorder.

No matter what, your audio
material becomes a file to be
edited using PC software. And
because your material is
valuable, you want to know how
much you can trust this type of
software editing.

If you work with Samplitude, your material is much safer than with any tape deck. That's because all editing is virtual, leaving the original recordings unchanged. All crossfades, cuts and effects are calculated in real-time. Even the normalized master can be made non-destructively in Samplitude. Other software requires that you create a new file.

The advantages of this virtual function: maximum security, effective time-saving and absolute freedom. You immediately hear the result of your editing. Each step and each setting can be changed at any time. You are independent of studio peripherals. All you need is a PC.

Seamless Workflow
Multi-track equipment and a mixer are usually used during
hardware-supported audio production. To support sound
editing, an effects rack is also often connected, as well as
perhaps an edit station for arranging and editing the
project.

This studio environment is represented completely for the
PC by Samplitude, and as such, you don't have to change
your working methods. Samplitude offers a virtual
multi-track device, a professional edit station, an effects
rack and a fully-equipped high-end mixer - all of it as an
integrated software solution.
