"In 2000, I changed my entire studio to a PC-based system with Nuendo 1. After struggling for almost two years on that software and hating the sound, someone suggested I try Samplitude. I did and was elated with its ease of use and layout workability. Iโ€™ve been with it ever since. Iโ€™ve tried every app on Mac and PC. Nothing can replace what Samplitude and Sequoia do for me. They are all I use and all I need. I canโ€™t go back. Plain and simple."

That says a lot about the quality and reliability of the product. Our rooms reveal the slightest detail; only the most transparent DAW software and processes will do."

"The difference between Samplitude and other DAWs is that you can work with waves better and more quickly. My workflow includes a lot of work with waves: setting the drums, cutting samples into the project, setting pitches, time stretching, cross-fading, and integrating VSTs. Itโ€™s all super quick and easy with Samplitude. The mixer in Samplitude is so awesome that you donโ€™t even need an external mixer, especially with all the plugins that are available today."

"I love Samplitude! It is the most comprehensive DAW I have used to date. Not only is it well laid out with many powerful features, but it also has outstanding sound quality! The EQs, Compressors, and plugins all have a very rich and almost analogue nature. The bundled soft-synths and quality sounds are vast and diverse, yet simple to add in and use. Samplitude is loaded with goodies. I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about the quality of their production and music."

"I almost do everything from drafting a composition and recording through MIDI to sound design and the final mixing to the mastering process. I've trusted Samplitude as my main tool for almost 18 years. It has an object-oriented engine, great onboard plugins and meters, classic intuitive GUI design ready to be customized, and mastering tools โ€” all in one. I love this DAW."

I am proud to use Samplitude, SOUND FORGE, and VEGAS Pro on my music and video productions. The quality of Samplitude is truly remarkable. Its power and flexibility are without compare and most importantly, it sounds great! I also want to thank the team for working to make their products accessible to blind music professionals."

"The object editor and the ability to burn directly from the application are huge. Also, the way Samplitude handles ISRC codes and other CD text is very important to my workflow. The overall vibe of editing is also fantastic. The application has just always been super snappy and responsive.โ€

As a user for over 20 years now, I've really watched the program grow. Seeing others copy features that were in Samplitude decades ago, makes me giggle. No other DAW lets me work as fast as Samplitude. The sound of the program is second to none."

"I chose Samplitude because some of my friends were using it, even in the classical music domain. They raved about its sound quality. Some others, in the more pop domain, were also crazy about what Samplitude could do, particularly its concept of objects, which was a new and very interesting way of working with sound."

"I am a post-production specialist and sound designer based in Berlin. A balance between speed and quality is essential in my field. It continues to impress me that Samplitude and Sequoia require so few resources to work on highly complex sound design. I love the way the object editor offers me a complete channel strip for every single audio snippet. Samplitude has completely revolutionized object-based work.The latest versions of Samplitude and Sequoia have added many new practical features that make my work even faster, clearer, and more user-friendly. A life without Samplitude/Sequoia is possible, but wouldn't make any sense."

"I'm new to Samplitude and in my short time working with it and going through the learning curves, Iโ€™m finding it to be incredibly amazing. Every option, every need, every plugin, every VST and VSTi, etc., is there. Iโ€™m recording live drums, live amped guitars, and micโ€™d piano. Its MIDI abilities are outstanding and simple to use. There are so many options when preparing for a new production. There are plenty of templates to choose from, and starting a new session without templates is as simple as it gets. Samplitude is humongous. Itโ€™s the giant of DAWs."

"When I started making music in 2000, I used to produce beats for rappers (or my own) and sometimes rock songs. In 2016, I shot a no-budget mountain tour documentary and came to Samplitude for the soundtrack production. Nowadays, with my orchestral productions, Iโ€™m always amazed at how fast and uncomplicated I can design my workflow when composing using internal and external plugins, and during the later mixing process with Stems. The overview of the DAW in the arrangement and the analysis tools is very pleasant."
