)VST and VSTi-Automation
Each track, AUX bus and submix bus in Samplitude 7.1 may use up to 16 automation curves for any VST plug-in or VST instrument setting with adjustable time resolution for automation values.
Track and object freeze - the Eco mode for CPUs
CPU intensive tracks, AUX bus and submix bus effects can be “frozen” in their current status (including all effects, plug-ins and automation settings) with the click of a button. A simple stereo audio track with a manageable CPU load is left remaining. This allows intensive arrangements to be realized or terminated on low-power systems and current-saving notebooks, even if the original project was started on a substantially more efficient workstation.
The ideal tool for cleverly managing the multiplication of usable effects and instruments!
The Freeze function in 7.1 works not only for complete tracks but also for individual objects or complete groups of objects in their current status (freezing all virtual effects and fade settings in so doing). This allows the CPU load to work at its most efficient, using every ounce of power it can afford for playing the pure audio file.
Optionally, object fades can be excluded from the freeze process and changed later in real time. With a mouse click, freezing can be waived for tracks and objects without any time delay. All normal editing functions, automation curves and effects settings remain available thereafter.
Root projects
As a special option, “frozen” tracks and objects in their original condition can be opened in their own project and edited non-destructively, without having to be “thawed out".
All the usual internal effects, plug-ins and even master effects can be used. Working on roots projects causes an automatic update of all frozen objects. This enables complex audio components to be constructed. Not only does it remain in its original state with the click of a button, but can also be archived in an unlimited history as a complete project.
Strip Silence
Individual objects, groups of objects or completely imported outside projects can be operated in Samplitude 7.1 using an adjustable threshold value for silent or quiet passages. With this flexible tool, for example, you can import material freed from silent or quiet passages that were created from alien software or external hard disk recorders –the original external multi-track project structure in Samplitude remains unchanged.
Further Features
Variable track heights
You can now change the height of individual tracks by drag & drop.
Glue tool
Audio objects and groups of objects can now be combined to create a new object.
New formats
Direct reading from MPG files without conversion. The DIGAS broadcasting format is included
Optional: MAGIX DDP XPort
A plug-in for Samplitude 7.1 that enables exporting in DDP 1.0/2.0 format can now be purchased.
Sorting effects plug-ins into files.
Controller support
Additional Samplitude functions can be remote controlled by Logic control and other external hardware controllers
Distance mixer
A new mixer skin offers enlarged peak meters and a longer volume fader. Playback levels can now be read from even greater distances, e.g. directly from the hardware mixer.
