Samplitude 9 due out in August... - Page 4

dwall · 28th August 2006, 02:06 AM

It's going to cost you $600 to upgrade?!? Hmmm...I wonder if it would be cheaper to wait and then just crossgrade from V8 to V9

Sorry, I am a Sequoia user not Samplitude.

Oh, well...600 in Sequoia dollars equals roughly 267.4 in Samplitude dollars, so you're making out ok I guess.

Thanks...I should have mentioned that I don't currently own a version of Samplitude. Is there a way to preorder in that case?

Looks like it's here.

Anyone take the plunge yet ?

Any teething issues ?

How are the new features workin out ? (Esp. aux send automation)

Cheers,

Nathan

Just got the package containing the SAM 9 upgrade. I don't like the new look of the packaging and manual, but oh well. Off to the studio computer to install!

PapillonIrl · 22nd September 2006, 10:23 PM

Cool, let us know !!!

I'm really liking the new plugins, especially the Variverb and Amphibia.

Many improvements in various areas. The added options in elastic audio are great and help to remove uneeded keystrokes. The new audio engine sounds wonderful.

There are a few little bugs that I think will be addressed in a maintainence update. Overall, it's a very nice move forward. I'll report more as I spend more time on it.

Automation fixed?

Then don´t buy it and wait until these guys got to finally fix these basic requirements ( unless you like nerving work arounds ).
In the end they know how handicapped this feature is since so many years, yet can´t be bothered to bring that to order. Instead they concentrate on new gimmicks all the time, just like if such a bug was negligible.

Which to me at least it clearly isn´t, and I wonder what´s up with all these users who make

before each and every update as if they wouldn´t need usable track automation. ( After all it´s so messed that I chose to use no track automation. Imagine.

) And as if they never needed self-evident features in the past anyway. No side-chaining ( let alone side chaining for basic function like simply volume triggering

), no decent routing, losing settings when you jump between different mixer memories or other general mixer parameters ...

I at least prefer a humble but throughout accomplished tool box to a heap-of-elements swiss knife with a bunch of unusable basic parts just to make the feature list on the package longer.

Don´t get me wrong. It is Samplitude for me, despite of outrageous update fees ( I don´t care how you might think it justifyable. It remains completely over the roof to squeeze 250 € out of your customers every year again and to even penalize them on top with yet more if they decide to skip and update at the next round. The more as they have a huge client base meanwhile and wouldn´t need that screwing ) and despite of these annoying bugs and lacks that didn´t or don´t get fixed year after year again.

I don´t understand the user base that takes all that crap as if it was just natural to have it that way.

Is it natural? Are my working routine and demands unique? I thought them to be just corresponding to studio needs.
Whaddsup?

I'm still using 7.2, ver 8 and the upgradeed midi implimentations were not something I need or wanted.... the upgrading pricing scheme to get to V9 is rediculous at best...
as for the rest of your post, I am in complete agreement with everthing you are saying, and these is more, much more that is shaky....

Samplitude/Sequoia is king for me, and ive used em all.

It's year 2006 and you people are talking about aux send automation beeing new and long awaited feature?
Now, that's really pathetic

fifthcircle · 29th September 2006, 06:38 PM

Not that you couldn't do it before, it was just part of the object model of working. With more and more folks coming from other DAWs using Samplitude and Sequoia, there has been a need to incorporate other [more traditional] workflows.
