I find it very interesting that you would ask this pro forum place, instead of asking current Magix community? How about that?
Well, this item goes back a long way, I am still using my early version designed for Windows98SE (remember that?). I bought it sometime ago from a real computer store aka ComputerUSA (remember that?) (hmm, remember parent company Radio Shack USA ?) hmmm?
I use Samplitude, this is a sort of Samp. Lite with some bells and whistles thrown in...really great sound and the VSTi-s are really good...so a lot of bang for the buck....You really can't lose at the price they offer these programs.
The reason I chose to inquire about this program on a "pro" forum, as opposed to the Magix forum, is my perception (right or wrong) that I would receive a more valid response on the pro forum, especially as I use these various software titles in a pro environment (I make money by using them. That's how I define "pro.")
The fact that you're still using it, VideoTguy, says to me that you find in valuable enough to assign disk space (and time) to it. That's a certain degree of validation in my book.
Yes, I remember Win98SE. My memory actually goes back further (DOS). And yes, I remember Computer USA. I remember them as being the worst. And when they were bought out by Tiger Direct, I was surprised that Tiger chose to keep the Compusa name for awhile, as I thought of that brand as a negative. And now Tiger has been reduced to one storefront "cage," in South Miami, which takes me about an hour to get to. I miss having the local branches of the stores, where I could walk in and quickly get what I needed, and hold things in my hand to see what they looked/felt like, as opposed to being reduced to mail order. And yes again, I remember Radio Shack from away back, when it was part of Tandy.
But how about some more input from you on the Magix program I asked about? How are you using it?
