Looks like an amazing deal. Can anyone summarize why it would be "better" than Studio One or Cubase Pro?
Because Samplitude is a pretty impressive DAW that goes very deep in features. But also the other stuff you get in this package is top notch stuff that combined would normally set you back a huge wadge of cash. Combined, you get everything you need to professionally record, mix, master and do the Nth degree of audio forensics with. For $150 instead of $1400 if you buy it all separately when not on offer, it is a no-brainer deal. Also, it isn't on offer because they are about to launch new versions. These are the latest versions and there are no signs of newer versions being released anytime soon, but they are still being continued to be developed - any future upgrade though, is likely to be expensive unless you find a great deal then too. I have read a lot of reports that Samplitude is the most solid and least buggy of all the major DAWs. It does have a seriously deep feature set so be prepared for a steep learning curve, but there is a lot of help available online. I already bought into Studio One and Notion, but this deal on top of that, unless you are absolutely flat broke (which I almost am) is a must-have. I am going to be paying off this unexpected Gibson disaster for some time with my credit card, but I think I would be stupid to pass on this deal. I already have FL Studio, MixBus and a currently working copy of Sonar, and now in addition to that I have Studio One, Notion, Overture and Samplitude Pro X3 Suite will give me everything I could possibly need for quite some time to come. That's it though, I can't afford to see any more no-brainer deals. I'm putting my blinkers on now.
