MAGIX Shows Samplitude 6.0 at Winter NAMMThe classic is back and available in three versions with improved tools, accessibility of the audio functions, new video, and Internet features. January 25, 2002 MAGIX Entertainment was showing its pride and joy, Samplitude 6.0, available in three different versions--Producer 2496, Studio, and Master.
Samplitude Producer 2496 covers all working steps of a sound studio, including audio, video, and MIDI in a single tool. Convenient and intuitive, Samplitude's new features include its new personalized interface, full mix and edit functions for single objects, and CD-mastering capabilities directly from multi-track projects. With 999 stereo or mono tracks including 5.1 surround panning and surround export, Samplitude Producer 2496 is the complete professional studio for PCs.
Samplitude offers you destructive and non-destructive editing, even for files in MP3 or other compressed file formats. Blowing away the usual size limit for WAV files, you can now make recordings that last for several hours beyond the 2 GB barrier. Instantly record MP3 format or other compressed audio formats.
Samplitude Producer 2496 contains state-of-the-art recording, editing, mastering, and burning functions for audio productions, as well as video synchronization, post-production, Internet media production, or for the creation of interactive content. There are pop-up directions for CD mastering, wave editing, multi-track recording, and surround editing to introduce users to the extensive menus and toolbars of Samplitude Producer 2496. Stable play back functions and scrubbing make editing comfortable. Multi-track objects can be burned directly on CD using the Redbook standards.
Samplitude Studio is an isolated program stemming from Samplitude Producer 2496 that is specifically a multi-track recording and editing program for PCs. With 999 tracks, mono or stereo, Samplitude Studio includes comfortable recording functions featuring record monitoring, punch in/out, loop option, and many more while simultaneously recording. An intuitive program with the highest sound quality.
The program can be synchronized as a master or slave with SMPTE and MIDI clock. This allows perfect video sync to be performed. Up to 100 undo levels permit virtual and structured editing. By the way, Samplitude Studio is 100% compatible with MAGIX Audio Studio Generation 6. You can pass virtual projects directly from one program to the other!
Samplitude Master is targeted at CD mastering and 2 track WAV editing. A steadily increasing number of recording studios want to master their recordings themselves. Sarnplitude Master was especially designed for them, offering high-end mastering capable CD burner functions (DAO) including CD Text, ISRC, UPC sub-index, CD extra, and more.
Sample rates of up to 192 kHz make this program ideal for DVD Video, DVD audio and DSD. Digital reading of audio CDs from the CD-ROM drive is also possible.
