Magix - Sampleitude Pro X3 Suite - any good?
I purchased a Second V X3 to get the X4 Version for Free.. I love working with Samplitude Pro X3 SUITE, hopefully X4 will Improve the already excellent performance. Over all THE most comprehensive DAW in the known Universe I'm afraid..I had to purchase all new Studio equipment after our house / Studio burnt completely. However to make a LONG story short (someday I'll Introduce my new Studio on my YouTube Channel) After upgrading to WIN 10 1809, everything came together performance wise. I'm using Three or more Virtual Desktops in combination with Hibernate on my ROG ZENITH ETREME / RYZEN THREADRIPPER 1950X Based system and can run 3D, Small Video Projects in either Vegas 13 or current Version of Davinci Resolve 15.2, Browse the WEB with FireFox, Check Emails with ThunderBird, etc.. All whilst playing projects in SAMPLITUDE without as much as a click or any kind of artifact.. I'm very happy. My current system even out performs my "old" Dual XEON CPU HP Z640, mostly thank to my upgraded GPU.. :)Hardware: Windows 10 Pro x64-based PC AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 16-Core Processor 64GB RAM (4 X 16 GB out of 8 for 128GB upgrade) 3400 Mhz, 16 Core(s), 32 Logical Processor(s) 1X SAMSUNG 970 PRO 2TB M.2 / 2X 1TB M.2 / 3X 2TB 860EVO, 2X WD Gold 12TB and 1X 6TB WD Gold Realtek High Definition 5.1/7.1 Audio (Sony DOLBY / NETFLIX Compatible etc..)

Magix - Sampleitude Pro X3 Suite - any good?
I am seeing offers for Samplitude Pro X3 Suite for massive discounts. I have Vegas, Acid, Sound Forge, etc. (since 2002). I don't know anything about this software or if I would need it, but the deal is too big not to consider it.Any experience and feedback on the software? How would it be used vs my existing applications?Thanks - Ted

Windows 10 Anniversary ed'n broke my Media Manager
Vegas Pro 14 Trial said it installed just fine but didn't even run ONCE on my mid sized workstation (HP Z640) however I use Vegas Pro 13 SUITE and are experiencing the exact same issues in regards to Sony's Media manager. The strangest thing happened when I went into Programs and Features (Win 10 Control Panel). After having clicked OFF the leading Black square by . NET Framework 3.5 (Includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) and rebooted I manged to use Sony Media Manager for a short while, that is BEFORE I checked a square in the Left panel related to some drum loops or whatever.. What's even "strangler" is that after RESTORING everything back (I hope) I manged to extend the Media manager window and look around, that is until I selected some audio file in the middle panel. As you might understand I've actually never used this allegedly superior manager since I've been too busy fighting all the BUGS in all my previous versions of Sony Vegas. Now if that's not declaring my love for Vegas Pro I don't know what is.. :)Magix Samplitude pro X3 SUITE is the DAW I use in my studio and it's fantastic because it makes "BlowTools" stink in comparison, dual Audio engines and all.. Samplitude Pro X3 also uses dual Audio engines, handles around 30-40 Virtual instrument and Audio tracks just fine using my rather large Studio template. Effects buses stereo / surround sound tracks, around 11 AUX FX channels, one external FX Rack (ElevenRack if you must know) and one BUS is dedicated as a surround AUX channel (everything across ALL tracks), without as much as a click or too extraneous 2X, 6 Core, XEON CPU activities (yep LOTS of ROUTING and I STILL love those old win gadgets). My Vegas Pro 14 experience however is a whole new matter since the last I heard was that there was no way to extend my trial and anyone knowing me also know that I won't spend money purchasing a Pig in a sack, no matter how cute it now may seem, THAT and I'll NEVER vote for those DemocRats ever again, NEVAH!!.. :D Hope everything "sorts itself" out because it clearly hasn't as of 16, Apr,2017 / the latest win 10 upgrade..
