The addition of VSTi “Instruments” and the ability to use sound samples as well, all add to the complexity and possibilities that the Samplitude line seems geared towards, increasing in capability as you go up into the higher products. Samplitude seems to be geared more towards artists that would play RealLife instruments and record them into the software, then editing the recordings and adding effects. The Samplitude line of products offers more capability and personalization in the composition of a song, using more MIDI objects and requiring more “exactness” and technical arrangement, rather than using mainly pre-made sound samples (although you can definitely use them in the arrangement of a track in Samplitude, it just seems that Music Maker is targeted more towards using sound samples and quickly putting them together in the making of a song, with many tools that make it easier and quicker, compared to the Samplitude line). Telling the Instruments when to play what note is how you begin using Instruments, adding effects and other tweaks afterward (in general), from what I’ve seen so far. "Instruments" (VST’s) are available in two types it seems: synthesized ("computer generated sounds") and some Instruments that use ‘samples of real sounds’ as well in them as well (as sources to create the audio), but you can't just drag-and-drop Instruments into the Arranger, you have to make MIDI Objects, which are essentially "blueprints for when the sounds should play and at what notes/pitch".
Coming with a huge amount of samples, you can purchase additional sound samples (from MAGIX or anywhere else really) and use them, as well.
Samplitude pro x2 tutorial how to#
In Music Maker, it seems to be geared more towards taking the pre-made "Samples" (pieces of music or sounds) and place them how to you want, adjusting their Pitch (high or low sound) and adding Effects to them, to create your songs. To briefly explain some differences, simplified: I have also used ACID Products in the past (when it was owned by Sony before MAGIX) and so I can add a bit of the differences with that too.
I switched to Samplitude Music Studio (after finding it would suit my personal needs better and am now learning the nuances of that. If I can pop in to contribute a bit to this, I recently purchased Music Maker (trying Standard then Premium) which was great, and although I had to learn how to use it, I had a lot of fun with it. Samplitude Pro X2 is probably overkill for what I do. I use MMM Premium for simple things, like quick recording, using Soundpools, quick dubbing or adding music to videos (see my tutorial on this), and Samplitude Pro X2 for more complex projects, especially where I want to vary the tempo. Sequoia - top of the line, broadcast quality. Samplitude Pro X2 Suite - includes cleaning and restoration tools, and more effects Samplitude Pro X2 - a DAW and a big step up from SMS, with many, many features for commercial audio production, including most of the effects available from Magix, and including Independence plugin and 12 GB of instruments for Independence Samplitude Music Studio (SMS) - Closer to a DAW with more functions and effects than Music Studio they share the same user interface Music Studio - Bottom end DAW, has more features than MMM, including recording to more than one track at a time, up to 4 I believe, has a different user interface than MMM Much better than basic and is most useful for the bulk of users
MusicMaker Premium - closer to a DAW but still limited.
MusicMaker (MMM) basic including "Special Editions" - this is not a real DAW and has limited features Here is the list of programs starting from the bottom and going toward the top and most expensive product The complexity and completeness of the programs can be seen by looking at the main tutorial of each program on the site.
