Deselect in spectralayers pro 3 how to#

All I had to do was go into AD, disable the internal effects and set each drum output. I selected to add separate tracks and woosh, a load of tracks got added for me. I created a track, set the midi output to Addictive Drums and a dialogue popped up saying that the instrument has multiple outputs and did I want to have it all on one track or routed to different tracks. It had started in Samplitude, so I decided to continue in Samplitude rather than load up Sonar.

I was expecting the learning curve of Samplitude to be long and tedious and completely get in the way of my creativity, but while I was trying out instruments and digging into how to do this and that, I ended up coming up with a new song and had to switch my attention to developing and capturing that.

There is a basic midi controller setup but that's it. My ProjectMix is set up as a Mackie device which gives me faders, channel strips and transport in Studio One, but there doesn't seem to be any way of assigning useful functions to the buttons. In contrast, there is no similar feature in Studio One. It took a long time to set up simply because there are endless functions you can add to any button, knob or fader and scanning through those functions in the menu is the time-consuming part. I spent several hours creating a preset for the ProjectMix that now gives me more control than it has ever had with any of the DAWs it was designed for. I then discovered that Samplitude has a built-in controller editor that is extremely comprehensive. I hooked it up as a Mackie device and the faders, channel strips and transport worked fine, but a lot of the other buttons didn't. The first thing I tested was Samplitude's compatibility with my old but trusty M-audio ProjectMix controller because that is only designed to work in certain DAWs (Samplitude not being one of them). It includes everything from RMS/peak, phase, spectrogram to loudness metering and even a tuner. They are well designed and very easy on the eye too. You can have up to about 6 visible at once and just right click on one to swap it out. The built-in metering and analyzers are phenomenal - they are all built into the interface. Its editing capabilities for audio are massive and it is a fully fledged mastering system too. It is a pro level DAW with a deep set of features. I'm really glad I went for the deal now! Samplitude has been around since the early 90's so is mature. It wasn't until I had bought it and installed everything that I really started to realize what a great DAW it is. I'm quite impatient when it comes to demos and unless it grabs me in the first few minutes I tend to lose interest and not try it again. I'll be honest, I wasn't that impressed with the demo but thought I would get the deal because of all the stuff that's included. So the deal offers ridiculous bang for the buck.

There's 70GB of content just for the Independence sampler alone and on top of that, there are loads of instruments, plugins as well as the Sound Forge Pro and SpectraLayers pro applications. That may be a good option if you have a slow internet connection. There is an option at checkout to get the content shipped on disks. You get so much with the suite that downloading and installing it all can take a long time. However, it didn't take much poking around for me to get it setup and start making proper music with it. At first sight, Samplitude looks confusing and rather alien to someone coming from Sonar. I hope this may help you if you are still looking for a new DAW to move to. I'll post my experiences so far with it and my comparisons with Studio One that I also have. After I bought into the Studio One crossgrade deal I discovered the crazy Samplitude X3 Pro Suite deal which I understand is being extended.
