Torrent Video Player is a tool which allows you to watch free movies and videos or listen to music online. The interface is easy to use and it is based on the immensely popular and highly versatile media player. Fortunately, however, there's no problem when the volume for the track is automated, and I presume most users wouldn't ever need to record the real-time output of the mixer anyway.
Still, it would be nice if, in an otherwise flawless mixer design, this could be improved in a future version.
The Mixer window can be configured in appearance with a selection of skins I found the default skin to be adequate and different ways of presenting the controls in the window. In addition to the default Mixer, you can also select a different functional appearance from the window's own pop-up menu, with options including Multitrack, Recording and Single-track Mixer.
Multitrack Mixer presents a condensed version of the Mixer without the level meters or any other visual paraphernalia, which is useful when you want to get more channels on the screen horizontally for working with large mixes, and Recording Mixer offers a Mixer with extra-large level meters, in case you need to keep an eye on them from halfway across the control room. Finally, the Single-track Mixer presents all the mixer controls for a single track, much like Nuendo's Channel Settings window, but with the addition of the Master channel as well, making this view ideal for mastering.
The Single-track Mixer also automatically updates itself so the track displayed in the window is linked to the selected track on the VIP window, which is a nice touch. Staying with subject of appearance, one thing I did like in the default Mixer mode was the way that, just like in Pro Tools and Logic, all the relevant controls are available on the screen at once, including inserts, sends, and the built-in EQ.
You can toggle the display of these controls, should you want to, and also specify whether you want two or eight inserts and sends to be displayed on each track. One particularly neat trick of the Mixer window is its ability to be resized just like any other standard window. However, rather than conceal parts of the Mixer and force you to scroll around it via a window's scroll bars, the Mixer is simply redrawn to fit the smaller available area.
Of course, the legibility of the Mixer gets worse as the graphics become smaller, but it remains completely functional and animated, which I thought was a nice touch. The ability for an audio workstation to work in surround is a prerequisite these days, and Samplitude has a toggle that transforms the Mixer into a fully operational 5. While this is undoubtedly the most common multi-channel format currently used for both music and media work, a more flexible handling of multi-channel formats to allow for 7.
Nuendo, in particularly, is noticeably more powerful in this area: version 1. However, I imagine Samplitude's developers will add support for other formats as more of the industry demands them in the future, and if you only need to work in 5. Samplitude 7 does, however, offer support for VST Instruments, including the ability to create additional tracks for multiple outputs, and this has been further refined in version 7. On the down side, the current VST Instrument support isn't quite perfect and there seem to be some issues with instruments relying on specialised preset files, such as Halion, Halion String Edition and Virtual Guitarist.
When using Halion String Edition, for example, nothing happens when you try loading another preset from disk — the file selector appears and you click the file you want to load, but this has absolutely no effect in the VST Instrument itself. Fixing this would definitely be one of my top requests to Samplitude's developers in the current version.
When it comes to automating Samplitude's mixing parameters, there's both good and bad news. The good news is that the volume and pan automation is extremely well implemented; the bad news is that automating any other parameter isn't quite so easy. To manually draw in volume or pan automation, you simply enable the Volume or Pan Curve button next to the appropriate slider on the Track Properties of the track you want to automate in the Main Window. The Volume Curve button is displayed in yellow when active and the Pan Curve button in blue, and these colours are used for the lines plotted on the track itself, where you can drag handles on the appropriate line to add points and shape the line as desired.
A nice touch is that while the automation data itself is independent of the Object, the Object's waveform on the track is always automatically redrawn to reflect the dynamic changes caused by the Volume automation, just as it is when dragging the Volume handles on an Object.
Possibly the best feature of Samplitude's volume and pan automation is that when the Volume or Pan Curve button is active, the Volume or Pan slider on both the Main Window and Mixer becomes a 'trim' fader instead.
Dragging either the Volume or Pan slider adjusts the automation proportionally, and you can even see the effect of this while you're dragging the slider, as the Volume and Pan lines on the relevant track are automatically redrawn.
From a personal perspective, this is exactly the way I want to use automation and have my control surface respond — but what if you want to record fader movements as the Project is playing to create automation data, rather than manually creating points with the mouse?
This is no problem either: by enabling the Automation button on the Mixer window, you can now drag the Volume or Pan sliders on the Mixer or your control surface while the Project is playing to record the automation data instead — the Volume and Pan sliders on the Main Window retain the trim function. When the Automation button is enabled, the Mixer and control surface faders will move assuming your surface has flying faders, of course according to the volume data recorded; and disabling the Automation button will cause the movement to cease and the faders to revert back to the trim behaviour.
Overall, I think Samplitude's handling of volume and pan automation is really quite elegant, and it's successful because it doesn't require the user to be concerned about what automation mode they might currently be using.
While it doesn't have the same number of features as Pro Tools or Nuendo 2, for example, it doesn't have the complexity either — in this respect, Samplitude feels like the developers have thought about what people really need to do with automation and distilled an appropriate solution accordingly.
Here, a plug-in is selected and you can allocate up to 16 parameters to be controlled by additional curves you have to configure manually. Compared to the incredibly simple facilities for automating plug-ins in Nuendo or Pro Tools, this is perhaps the only area of Samplitude that could really do with an overhaul. One area where Samplitude micturates on most of the competition is in the mastering and archiving department, since it provides built-in tools for writing Red Book-compatible audio CDs and standard data CD-ROMs of all the files in the VIP folder.
Track indices for your CD can be placed directly on the VIP Window, and you don't even need to bounce the VIP down to a stereo audio file beforehand — Samplitude simply takes whatever is being output from the Master stereo output, which is very useful. While some would argue that an audio workstation should concentrate on recording, editing and mixing, and Samplitude perhaps leans more towards post-production anyway, there's no doubt that having built-in CD burning tools in your recording, editing and mixing environment is incredibly useful.
If, for instance, you want to give a client a quick CD to take away with them, being able to place a few CD markers and hit the Write CD button is very convenient. Samplitude is a powerful audio workstation and I hope this review will encourage new users to at least download the demo and check out its feature set.
Even if you're already a hardcore user of another package, Samplitude offers many tools, including the CD-burning and effects, that could make it an ideal mastering and all-round post-production application for your work. It's a stable, versatile and very complete product, from which it's possible to lay out a track, create its master and burn it on a CD.
