Introduction
What is Samplitude Music Studio 2013?
Samplitude Music Studio 2013 is a multitrack recording and editing application for all
types of audio material featuring unlimited editing options. It's easy to use and follows
three simple steps:
1. Download and record
You can download CD tracks, MP3 songs, wave files, video soundtracks, or sounds &
samples from the hard disk, the CD-ROM drive, or the Internet. You can even make
your own recordings from a stereo system or with a microphone. Everything you
download or record is displayed as an object on the Arranger's tracks.
2. Arrange and edit
Basically, all tracks stacked virtually above each other will be played simultaneously,
and everything that follows horizontally will be played in subsequent order. However,
you can mute the objects stacked above each other.
Every object – that is, every sound, every song – can be cut up or have effects added.
For example, if you want to shorten a song, move the object with your mouse to the
length at which you would like the song to be – done! Want to freshen up your
sound? Then open the equalizer and either select a preset that fits, or modify your
sound "by hand”.
Arranging and editing is essentially all about cutting, blending, adding, mixing effects,
and placing audio material into the right positions and into the right tracks. But it’s
also about play and experimentation. If it fits, throw it in! Without experimentation
there is no innovation. Samplitude Music Studio 2013 allows you to experiment, and
experiment wildly. There’s no risk of your audio material being damaged. All editing
functions are "non-destructive”.
Export and use
Regardless what you're experimenting with, in the end something usable should come
out of it. Samplitude Music Studio 2013 has everything you need to be productive:
• Homemade audio CDs which can be played by any standard CD player
• Unique MP3 collections, e.g. as a source of material for your MP3 player
• Podcasts: Simply export the project as a podcast and - if you want - publish it
online using MAGIX Podcast Service online (the MAGIX Podcast Service can be
reached via the "Online" menu.)
• And much more. The export principle is simply "what you hear is what you get".
That is, what you export sounds exactly as it sounded in the arrangement during
playback in Samplitude Music Studio 2013.
