Thanks for making the videos and its important that someone does! Someone who knows what they're talking about and is a real user of the software, such as yourself. I do hear some of the grouches about Customer Support as I've had similar experiences with my own DAW provider who now only supply it on a monthly rental basis which totally sucks. For this reason I am going to have to change - grrrrrr! - to another product and Samplitude looks a very good choice in its current iteration. I'd like to see a video about the virtual instruments on offer, especially the guitars and drums, if you might have time to make one. Kind thanks. Subscribed!
Thank you for the video - you saved me some money! Also it is sad to see that Magix still hasn't included a 'sampler track' like in Cakewalk, Acid and Ableton
@@MarcoPrimeau you can put a sample on it and make shortcuts to certain points and use it like an MPC to rearrange them. It is so much faster than conventional chopping
Hi Marco, thanks again for your video. Can you say more about the integration of melodyne? Samplitude now comes with the esential version of melodyne, but I have the current studio version 4.x of melodyne. How can I integrate my studio version? And have you deinstalled version 4 of Samplitude manually or was the deinstalltion a part of the installation of version 5?
Samplitude Pro X4 and 5 and coexist without problems. And no you can keep your version of melodyne with X5. Just unselect melodyne when installing all the optional softwares and instruments. I will plan a video about melodyne very soon.. Thanks for the comment.. ;)
X5 comes with the lite version of independence, you can purchase a licence which gives you access to more sampled instruments. Windows 8 - 10 only.. I don't know if they plan for a mac version..
It very depends on your needs.. I didn't go for it because of this very reason. It you feel you will use the extra virtual instruments and some of the extra plugins, go for it.. ;)
Pro X6 is very good and stable since the last update. I use it everyday.. I didn't feel the need to go back to X5. If you are a new user, this is the version you want, if you already have X4 or X5, listen to this video to decide if upgrading is important to you : ruclips.net/video/gIZNYBLKVmc/видео.html
I appreciate Your effort for Magix but imho offering all of this as a completely new program version is not quite very nice to put it mildly. Those features should be subject to a simple update of version 4. I mean, come on. A few minor improvements, a new reverb module and Vita instruments... this just does not qualify as another program version. I’m almost sure that the sound engine still does not allow for RUclips being open and active without muting the audio in Samplitude (and yes, I have all samplerates set up correctly, and yes, FL Studio does that normally). The plugin browser is the pita, previous was much faster. There is still nothing like „chord track” that is found in StudioOne and Cubase, and there is still zero compatibility with Music Maker soundpools. I constantly try to develop some love for this program and I do love Your videos, Marco, but I think You are alone in Your crusade and Magix don’t care much.
First, it's not a crusade. I'm not being paid for those videos, but I keep being asked about Samplitude so that's why I do more of them. Also, I do like the software more and more but I'm not blind to some little things that could be done better.. It's up to us to tell Magix what needs to be changed or be done better.. It took me time to be fonctionnal in it and at first I didn't like it at all. The primary reason I switched from Cakewalk is that Samplituded made me mix better. Object editor is very powerfull and automation is a breeze. Now I should say that when X4 came out, I didn't see a lot of differences either. Hard to get better than perfection ?? ah ah ah !! Within X4 many new things were added and tweaked by small revisions... I suspect it will happen with X5 as well. I'm not trying to convince you at all. We all need to use the tools that makes us produce good music what ever they are. Stay tune to the channel, I will get to other subjects for sure ;)
@@MarcoPrimeau funny you should say you went from Cakewalk to Samplitude, as I did the same back when pro x 1 came out and Cakewalk was going under. I switched to Samplitude, but now that Cakewalk seems to really be back and getting updates all for free, I've actually just gone back to Cakewalk. I do still do some things in Samplitude (I'm on proX 4 suite and also do not believe this should have been a full version upgrade), like spectral editing and the auto e.q. matching, and of course mastering... but as far as mixing goes I now prefer Cakewalk😜
Marco Primeau Keep up the great work. Magix should thank Heavens daily for You & Kraznet being there. I just don’t feel fine with their upgrade policy, it’s aimed at releasing minor updates and charging money for it imho while I still struggle to set up a simple sidechaining in this program and have to resort to plugins :) Maybe someday a change will come. All the best!
@@AmbiguousMotion so it does seem to be hard to use external hardware. so is this ara 2 supposed to fix that cause i did message them on that subjects.
@@inglepropnoosegarm7801 Don't be so negative.. I'm running Samp as my main daw for the past 3 years and it works fine.. I had Sonar before and had equal amount of things going sideways.. Also, some of my latest bugs were just settings being different from versions to versions.. If something is missing is education ressources... That's why I try to post some tips frome time to time.. ;)
It is hard to say without a budjet target, mackie makes some for decades and are very solid.. but on the highend side there is the SSL Nucleus and others like it, but it's very expensive.. My Icon Qcon Pro X isn't perfect but works fine for me, I was about to buy a mackie, when I got hang on the view meters of the Qcon.. Seeing levels on the controler was a big plus for me..
Ok Marco the 800 euro price range seems reasonable to me the only thing that interests me is that it is compatible with Samplitude Pro 5. Unfortunately in Italy the Magix products are not very used and therefore you are my only reference. your Tutorials Thanks.
Hi Great Vid thanks. I have Sam pro x5. However I don't have the same Vita instruments list that you have in your demo. (I have some but not the soundscapes for example). Maybe you have a more advanced version. Mine is 16.2.0.412(DP3). Thanks
Have you used any other daw? if so what you like about samplitude so much honestly? whats makes it different or better than any other daw im a producer,engineer i record mix and master for artist.
How r u mr marco Please help me i need to ask about some thing First i was used sampletude pro but now I am using sampletude pro4 In prox when i use the mouse to scroll to make zoom waveform wright or left But when i use prox4 when i scroll it go up and down So How can i make zoom waveform by using muse scroll
In order to use the mouse to zoom in or out, you need to change the mouse mode to zoom mode. Then you can make a selection and it will zoom to it. OR if you want to change the behavior. .hit Y and go to Keyboard menu and mouse then Mousewheel.. change the behavior as you please .. By default the zoom is CTLR + ALT + Wheel...
I was just going to ask you about Pro X5!!! I think I will go ahead and upgrade. Thanks for this info, Marco. I do have a question: twice, during the mix down process, I wanted to change the global tempo of a song but somehow, most likely due to an oversight on my part, I ended up only changing the tempo of a section of the song. When I discovered what had happened, I attempted to fix it, but I ended up with the objects being out of sync with each other. Resetting the global tempo did not sync the objects back together. Each time I had to import the individual tracks into another project, and do a manual adjustment of the objects using time stretching to sync them back together with each other. Deleting the tempo markers at the top did not change anything and I could not undo because the mistake happened too far back. Maybe this is a problem most people do not have, but when it does happen it can cost you a lot of time. Thanks!
@David Ellis Martin: Is the Samplitude tempo track problem you described similar to the Cubase tempo track bug shown in this video? ruclips.net/video/mS8WBji77X0/видео.html Magix seems to be licensing from Steinberg, so I wonder if Samplitude's new tempo track uses the same code as Cubase's tempo track, bugs included.
@@davidellismartin9619 Sorry for the delay.. if you already have a tempo map entry.. if you change the tempo somewhere in the song it will only change the speed up to this point. You can delete all the tempo markers or in tempo map check ignore all tempo markers, use project tempo
Resist Stupidity thanks for the info. The chaos is similar but the way I got there is different. I’m still not sure how I ended up with different tempo sections when I intended to change the global tempo. I’ve increased my undo level count , which should help if it happens again. Thanks again, RS.
I upgraded from pro X3 to pro X5. I noticed I have audio dropouts during play back in pro X5 but not pro X3 and the buffer settings are the same. How do I fix this?
@@MarcoPrimeau That didn't make a difference. For some reason I keep getting dropouts but I open the exact same project in 3 and it plays smoothly. I really like the features in 5 better though
@@chrissodom4311 did you make sure you use the same drivers, buffer size etc.. There's many adjustments in Samp.. In the end you could ask on magix forum, many can help..

Hi Marco, thanks for the advice, good videos, but I wanted to ask you something .. 1 - I have recently purchased the ProX4, even if I have used Samplitude in the past, the update has a somewhat excessive cost, so let's leave it alone. 2 - I noticed that the Independence Vst supplied does not work with other DAWs, such as Reaper, Cubase, Cakew, it requires an activation code! .. does it seem normal to you ?? .. if I purchase a product it must also work in others scopes don't you think? .. it's limited to ProX4 !! ...Do you agree?? 3 - In Melodyne when I click on the waveform it doesn't make me listen to any sound, so to move the segmanti I have to go by ear, blindly ... it's a basic version or I have to activate something ?? .. I did everything !! I hope for your answer..thanks! Elio
1 - Respect to you, we all have our priorities and limitations. Being a recording studio with customers, I always try to be ahead of things to give the best services... 2 - I honestly didn't try to load Independance in another DAW, did you try to pinpoint the vst file and direct you other daw to scan its folder ? 3 - The playing of blobs in Melodyne depends on how you set the monitoring options. I mostly operate on no monitoring /peaks only, so I don't hear them either.. If you choose, monitoring track effects or hybrids, it should work.. Of course it uses some computer ressources, it may be erratic on older systems.. If you don't hear when you click on the note, you can at least play the song and hear the result. Also using the loop fonction can help..
@@MarcoPrimeau Thanks for your answer Marco, for L'Independence it happens to me with all the DAWs, maybe I will try to change the scan, but I have little hope! .. and I won't hide you that I was a little disappointed! ... I tried to contact MAGIX assistance for information, but contact is very difficult and complex, and this is no small thing, it has not happened to me with other software companies, and we are talking about regularly registered software! ... For Melodyne we will see, then maybe I'll update you, also because I noticed that my fencing in Melodyne seems different from the one I see supplied, there are no icons in the upper left corner, and it's also updated! ... well ... we'll see !!. ... Thanks again for your availability' Elio
@@mrpippozanco I honestly don't know if it's going to work. but most DAW need to load a vst file to use a plugin.

When I talk to the rep, I'll ask if they will supply it in Samp Pro X5.. ;)

@@soundsfromYYBY bro check you bios settings and your display setting graphics. im running two tv monitors my main in 4k running fine also my big screen.
@@soundsfromYYBY Sorry, I get it.. Saddly I can't say either.. It looks good on my 2 full RGB/Rec.709 BenQ monitors.. (I'm at 2560x1440). You might want to ask on Magic forum...
The GUI is absolutely HORRIBLE. No one at Magix ever cared to IMPROVE the GUI since the X1 version, are you kidding me? It's almost like they don't want to win customers over. I know you don't make music with your eyes, but we do make music in a digital era where we have to look at the screen for 8h+/day. Samplitude is so confusing, cluttered and painful to the eyes.. It's crazy. And no, no theme can compensate for the whole concept which is just bad and needs a whole overhaul.
I'm not going to be Magix's advocate. Using Samplitude was a long learning curve for me after 15 years of Cakewalk use. But I got used to it and I feel it is very fonctionnal and strait foward once you catch what kind of workflow inspired the developpers. Of course I understand it's not for everybody and that's ok. On my channel, I focus on things I use and know very well, but stick around I try to vary the subjects and not talk only about Samplitude ;)
Samplitude never claimed to be a Midi Sequencer. It is a Hard Drive Audio Mastering suite. Pro Tools and Samplitude used to be literally Midi sequencing free and were and are used for mixing and mastering studios. I hardly use Midi except for control functions ( mixer, eqs, vst synths etc ) so I care more for Audio functionality....object editing....the mixer....internal effects...supreme recording quality etc. And for pure Audio recording Samplitude is by far the best DAW....when you need outstanding MIDI sequencing you might want to go Fruity Loops, Cubase, Pro Logic etc...
I'll tell you what's NOT new with Samplitude/Magix...They have TERRIBLE... and even more worthless customer support than ever! But I live in the US & I've heard rumors that because I live in the USA they simply don't want to bother with us. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment because I've been using Samp for almost twenty years...starting with Version 6, which at the time was light years ahead of Pro Tools and still is. But for the but...I could write a book on how disappointed I am every time I upgrade hoping for a better experience and it has only gotten worse with time. I don't care how much bigger or better something is...if you fail to offer proper support...you have failed at your primary objective..."Back Your Product"! And now since Magix is running the show it has only gotten worse. As for me...early on with these frustrations I tried another another recording software but at that point I was so familiar with Samp it was like losing five or six years of my life to have to start all over again. I just couldn't do that...I just wanted to write, play, and record my tunes! So I stuck with Samp ,bit the bullet and avoided their support at all costs. We had US support for a while with Tim, but they screwed him over, and that was that. Anyway...long & short of it... "ATTENTION MAGIX" ... Stop trying to re-invent your own wheel, take a step back a version or two and refine that! And while you're doing that focus on refining your support group! If you're too arrogant to acknowledge this issue then you need to offer upgrades for FREE! You are doing business in spite of yourselves and it's truly amazing that you're still in business!
It's sad that you had a bad experience with Magix. I live in Canada and my contact at magix live in Germany. Until now I only had good experience with them. Of course like any other software, some little bugs are found from time to time... But as long as it's nothing major and updates comes from time to time, it's like any other brand. It took time for me to get used to the workflow and I now I'm happy with my choice..
@@MarcoPrimeau Come on dude...you were pretty quick to send a dispute to my initial post...so answer my question...What version are you running??? And I'm not talking about "Little Bugs"...I'm talking about overall support!!!
@@MarcoPrimeau I just asked for the version...not the incept date or all that...we're not splitting hairs here, just the basics... Okay? Now...1) How long have you been working with Samp? 2) Have you tried to use the "Remove unused Samples" function yet? 3) Have you burned a CD yet? I'm stuck with ProX3 and it has enough problems that I refuse to upgrade any more for all the reasons I already mentioned. So we'll start with that and go from there.

When I talk to the rep, I'll ask if they will supply it in Samp Pro X5.. ;)
@@MarcoPrimeau As for Independence, the other DAWs read it, open it as well, and read the library, but as soon as you try to load a preset it freezes and asks you for the code, for this I had asked! .. In PX4 instead it works regularly !! ... As for the Melodyne, I noticed that the PX4 is equipped with the Essential version, regularly registered of course !! ... is it ?? ?? maybe for that it does not give me some functions! ... maybe you have to update, and it takes money! (-:
Always thanks
@@mrpippozanco Sad..
the real title of the video should be: will you save me money or not from upgrading haha
:)
man when magix stepping the GUI up also being compatible with 4k display hidpi
I don't know Yahshua. I'm running it with 2 screens at 2560x1440 and it seems ok to me.. The gui doesn't look very attractive but when sound is a priority.. who cares ? ;)
@@MarcoPrimeau i care..i care about both
1. you pay money so they should put they time into quality of the gui.
2. when you have 4k displays like me and the daw not compatible it looks blurry especially plugins and they very tiny
3.its like watching a movie once you watch 4k who wants to go back to 720
but you definitely right about quality with music
@@soundsfromYYBY That's a good message to the magix developpers.. I'm sure they will make it better..
@@MarcoPrimeau what all you like about samplitude
@@soundsfromYYBY bro check you bios settings and your display setting graphics. im running two tv monitors my main in 4k running fine also my big screen.
does it support 4k hidpi
I can't say.. I never import video into Samplitude.. I usually export the sound in wav format and sync it to video in Davinci resolve..
@@MarcoPrimeau then u dont know what im talking about..4k hidpi is the quality how samplitude looks on a 4k screen
@@soundsfromYYBY Sorry, I get it.. Saddly I can't say either.. It looks good on my 2 full RGB/Rec.709 BenQ monitors.. (I'm at 2560x1440). You might want to ask on Magic forum...
Magix Samplitude Pro X5 - What's new? - Still NO HDPI GUI and de facto non-existing customer support...
please do a udemy course for Samplitude Pro X.
Thanks for your interest in my channel.. A udemy course might be a thing to ask Magix. You may want to go on Magix forum an ask.
@@MarcoPrimeau You can do one just the same. Make a go at it..
why never a Mac version
You should ask Magix... I wish I could be on their payroll but I'm not ;)
The GUI is absolutely HORRIBLE. No one at Magix ever cared to IMPROVE the GUI since the X1 version, are you kidding me? It's almost like they don't want to win customers over. I know you don't make music with your eyes, but we do make music in a digital era where we have to look at the screen for 8h+/day. Samplitude is so confusing, cluttered and painful to the eyes.. It's crazy. And no, no theme can compensate for the whole concept which is just bad and needs a whole overhaul.
I'm not going to be Magix's advocate. Using Samplitude was a long learning curve for me after 15 years of Cakewalk use. But I got used to it and I feel it is very fonctionnal and strait foward once you catch what kind of workflow inspired the developpers. Of course I understand it's not for everybody and that's ok. On my channel, I focus on things I use and know very well, but stick around I try to vary the subjects and not talk only about Samplitude ;)
No midi notes name just empty boxes , samplitude classic incompetence after 20 years.
Samplitude never claimed to be a Midi Sequencer. It is a Hard Drive Audio Mastering suite. Pro Tools and Samplitude used to be literally Midi sequencing free and were and are used for mixing and mastering studios.
I hardly use Midi except for control functions ( mixer, eqs, vst synths etc ) so I care more for Audio functionality....object editing....the mixer....internal effects...supreme recording quality etc.
And for pure Audio recording Samplitude is by far the best DAW....when you need outstanding MIDI sequencing you might want to go Fruity Loops, Cubase, Pro Logic etc...
I'll tell you what's NOT new with Samplitude/Magix...They have TERRIBLE... and even more worthless customer support than ever! But I live in the US & I've heard rumors that because I live in the USA they simply don't want to bother with us. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment because I've been using Samp for almost twenty years...starting with Version 6, which at the time was light years ahead of Pro Tools and still is. But for the but...I could write a book on how disappointed I am every time I upgrade hoping for a better experience and it has only gotten worse with time. I don't care how much bigger or better something is...if you fail to offer proper support...you have failed at your primary objective..."Back Your Product"! And now since Magix is running the show it has only gotten worse. As for me...early on with these frustrations I tried another another recording software but at that point I was so familiar with Samp it was like losing five or six years of my life to have to start all over again. I just couldn't do that...I just wanted to write, play, and record my tunes! So I stuck with Samp ,bit the bullet and avoided their support at all costs. We had US support for a while with Tim, but they screwed him over, and that was that. Anyway...long & short of it... "ATTENTION MAGIX" ... Stop trying to re-invent your own wheel, take a step back a version or two and refine that! And while you're doing that focus on refining your support group! If you're too arrogant to acknowledge this issue then you need to offer upgrades for FREE! You are doing business in spite of yourselves and it's truly amazing that you're still in business!
It's sad that you had a bad experience with Magix. I live in Canada and my contact at magix live in Germany. Until now I only had good experience with them. Of course like any other software, some little bugs are found from time to time... But as long as it's nothing major and updates comes from time to time, it's like any other brand. It took time for me to get used to the workflow and I now I'm happy with my choice..
@@MarcoPrimeau What version do you have?
@@MarcoPrimeau Come on dude...you were pretty quick to send a dispute to my initial post...so answer my question...What version are you running??? And I'm not talking about "Little Bugs"...I'm talking about overall support!!!
@@stevend984 I'm running X5 but I'm not at the studio full time so to give you the complete version num, it will have to wait this evening ;)
@@MarcoPrimeau I just asked for the version...not the incept date or all that...we're not splitting hairs here, just the basics... Okay? Now...1) How long have you been working with Samp? 2) Have you tried to use the "Remove unused Samples" function yet? 3) Have you burned a CD yet? I'm stuck with ProX3 and it has enough problems that I refuse to upgrade any more for all the reasons I already mentioned. So we'll start with that and go from there.
