MIAMI, FL -- 06/03/08 --
In the world of professional sound recording, the
Samplitude name stands out for delivering high sound quality and the
highest level of editing possibilities for audio and MIDI. New to the
Samplitude product line is the music production software title Samplitude
Music Studio 14. Equipped with professional functions like the Hybrid Audio
Engine, object oriented workflow, multi-track recording, new Vital
instruments and elaborate effects automation, the youngest member of the
family proves that it is worthy of the Samplitude name. The new Samplitude
Music Studio 14 is available at top retailers, online partners and directly
from the MAGIX website at
http://www.magix.com/us/samplitude-music-studio/.
"Samplitude has a long and distinguished heritage in the world of
professional audio," says Markus Gunn, Vice President of Sales & Marketing
for MAGIX North America. "This latest release of Music Studio lives up to
that tradition and includes professional-grade functionality such as
advanced audio and MIDI editing as well as a mastering and burning suite
with 100% sound neutrality built on the Samplitude audio engine while
delivering it all in an affordably-priced, easy-to-use software that runs
on a PC."
The technology behind the world's most often purchased music production
software*, which unifies every step from recording to editing and mixing to
mastering with a single interface, is the Hybrid Audio Engine. It offers
minimum latency and maximum performance. Due to extraordinarily short
reaction times during calculation of track effects, monitoring, for
example, of multi-track live recordings is especially easy. The Samplitude
Playback Engine also makes complex computational tasks, like embedded
object effects, possible. Furthermore, Samplitude Music Studio 14 has 100%
sound neutrality, which is normally only offered from high end analog
consoles.
Even without analog instruments for realizing your sound ideas, Samplitude
Music Studio 14 won't leave the user out in the cold: In addition to the
already included five Vital instruments from yellow tools, there are the
new "E-Guitar Power Chords," "Electric Guitar" and "Soundtrack Percussion"
features. These can be triggered via keyboard or MIDI keyboard and sound
absolutely natural. The sound of a major orchestra also offers virtual
strings, brass and woodwinds. The right sound for every kind of electronic
music can be produced with the new polyphonic analogue synthesizer "Revolta
2."
The improved effects automation allows a sequential automation curve in a
track, VST, volume or pan parameter to be changed directly by drawing it
in. An echo, for example, can be amplified at a certain position and then
diminished again. VST MultiOut supports multi-channel capable VST
instruments which can now be written to up to 16 channels. For an even
stronger studio feeling, new support for conventional hardware controllers
has been added.
But those new to music studios have been kept in mind. Thanks to the newly
designed control elements and variable displays, you'll find whatever
you are looking for in the software. With five practical settings for
different screen layouts, the user can always keep an eye on the action. If
expert knowledge about how to put the finishing touches on your production
is missing, then you can find the solution in MAGIX.info, the new online
Multimedia Knowledge Community which can be accessed directly from the
program.
