Hi, do any users of samplitude out there want to talk about using it? It's been released as freeware for a few years now. I use it all the time to do simple editing & mastering of songs created in my home recording studio. Unfortutely, the Amigaguide manual that is included with it is lacking and even incomplete in some areas. I was hoping if we pool our knowledge, maybe we can reveal how some features work. Also, if you have questions about Samplitude, I will will try and help you out, too.
I know there is a SEK'D Samplitude Yahoo! group. Problem is that everyone there uses the latest PC version and can't help with the Amiga versin.
Here are some areas in Samplitude I just can't understand or get to work.
1) The Compression/Expansion/Noise Limiter DSP. I know how to use a real life compressor rack unit, but the interface in Samplitude is a little confusing. When think I've got it set right, the resultant sample is muted or noise gated in some bizarre way. Would appreciate some help with this strange interface. All I want to to is to get it to function like a normal compressor/limiter.
2) The BPM Raster. Apparently, there's some way to map the BPM of your sample to some sort of grid, etc. I can't figure that out, and the manual is missing.
3) MIDI implementation: there is supposed to be a way to allow MIDI to control Samplitude (i.e. to start and stop samples playing). I've tried, but I just cannot get it to function in any way. Again, the manual on this section is missing entirely.
...and if you have any questions about Samplitude, post them here. Maybe I can help answer them.
