Thank god that this appears to be a professional solution and not some naff ‘anyone-can-do-mastering’ style plug-in. Be aware however, that this is also only available in the Pro X3 Suite package. DDP files can now be created with Samplitude Pro X3 via the addition of the Sound Forge Pro II application. Unfortunately, just as Apple have dropped the headphone jack on the iPhone 7, they dropped WaveBurner in Logic Pro X. Let’s be honest, Logic Pro 9 users used to have an app called WaveBurner, which was really useful. I really like the concept that Samplitude can be used on a project from conception to completion. On a more technical level, Magix even have mastering covered. This includes Celemony’s audio to MIDI feature, which is great tool for working on productions for those doing remixes. However, it appears to me that this is a form of Melodyne Essentials, not the full studio version which would have been a bargain! However, as it is integrated, probably in a similar way to Studio One, I can see it providing users with a very powerful tool.

The Melodyne integration that comes with this new release is available in both versions of Samplitude Pro X3.

If these are your thing, then be aware that the more expensive Pro X3 Suite contains more VI’s and audio content. Without hearing the quality of these new VI’s I can’t comment, except that the addition of ‘Cinematic Soundscapes’ should benefit the today’s trend of composers working in production music. New virtual instruments are included for producers and composers, as well as Zynaptiq’s Orange Vocoder which looks fun. It seems there’s something for everyone in this update.
