Samplitude had no problem seeing any of my drivers (alternative Asio drivers) or any of my connected equipment (being XP I need to connect there before starting Samplitude for best results) (running an old Custom Gigabyte XP desktop with an Uno midi interface, as well as a Win7 Samsung laptop). Its accepted my aging gear with no problems.

It runs quite bug-free, I am very impressed with its stability. MAGIX does have a lot of helpers in the software to get the mix more correct for the handicapped-mixer, but they are not infallible. There is NO magic software that will do the mixing for you, this is a skill you need to develop yourself. Keep in mind, a Mixing Engineer takes many years and many-many mixes to become GOOD. I upgraded to Samplitude 2014 as soon as I could. When I found out that Samplitude had a new pair of little brothers, I made the purchase to Studio 2 (Samplitude 2014 lite) just to see if the audio tools were acceptable. The Sampiltude Pro tools were a little too expensive for me at the time and I continued upgrading to Music Maker MX.Īs a guitarist and songwriter, it became apparent that the audio tools in Music Maker were 'ok' but limited.

I started with Magix Music Maker 16 Premium, which was cool (perhaps a little buggy)

As a customer I have been a MAGIX user for many years.
