Introduction
What is Samplitude 11.5 Producer?
Samplitude 11.5 Producer 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 11.5 Producer
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 11.5 Producer 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
