Recording
Easy and professional recording
Apply recording templates and use an integrated tuner for string instruments, and record vocals or instruments simultaneously on several tracks.
Multitrack recording
Record instruments, vocals or rap in 24-bit/96 kHz studio quality on up to 16 mono tracks or 8 stereo tracks at the same time. Simultaneously edit and mix band practices, demo tapes or complete albums in studio quality using Multitrack recording.

With Vocal Tune 2, correcting your vocal recordings is simple. The pitch curves and wave forms help you keep track of everything and can be used to edit recordings in detail with the pencil tool.
Recording templates
Recording templates get your projects ready for recording guitar, piano, vocals or an entire band without the need to adjust any further settings. A template loads a track for the recording with EQ, compressor and other effects and another track for drum loops etc.
Tuning string instruments
With the integrated tuner, you can make sure your guitar, bass or ukulele are perfectly tuned before you start recording. Simply play a string into your mic, and Samplitude will show you if the pitch is correct or, if it's not, how out of tune it is.
Track freeze
