A complete studio in a single DAW
Recording
Samplitude works using full bit transparency. The consistent use of floating point calculations ensures that the sound retains the desired nuances, even after extensive digital processing. The result: Transparency in the sound, neutrality and retention of transients and spatiality.
Sophisticated recording
Samplitude Pro X stands for the highest level of audio quality, even in complex recording sessions.
With a total of 999 tracks and up to 256 physical inputs and outputs, working on large projects is no problem at all. Use common audio formats from 16-bit to 32-bit floating point as well as sample rates up to 384 kHz.
Take Composer
The Take Composer clearly displays all the recordings of a passage.
This feature offers a specially optimized cutting tool to combine the takes in the context of the entire arrangement to get a perfect end result.
Editing
Editing is one of the essential core competencies in Samplitude. With practical workflows, flexible docking options and ultra-precise tools, users can create a production environment that's perfectly customized to their needs so they can concentrate fully on projects.
Object editing
In addition to standard options for track-related editing, Samplitude also features object-based editing options.

Object Editor
The Object Editor enables you to access all features for object-based editing in a single clear interface, with a graphic design that's modeled on a channel strip.
A realtime channel strip is assigned to each object and each split object. You can split material into any number of small audio objects and then edit them individually or in groups.
Melodyne Essential
