Sequoia 9.0

Sequoia draws upon years of cooperation with experienced producers and sound engineers to tackle every challenge faced by modern professional recording studios. Besides a wide array of proven recording and editing tools, Sequoia also offers new outstanding editing and crossfade functionality. It also includes intuitive source/destination cutting, excellent marker setup, and an efficient crossfade editor with which all crossfade parameters can be edited in real-time.

Sequoia needs no special DSP or audio hardware and works natively on host CPUs. The program can run on a laptop just as well as it does on a PC plugged into the studio. That means you can transfer your projects to mobile workstations - or anywhere else, for that matter. You remain completely independent until the project is completed while enjoying those possibilities normally only offered by a fully equipped studio: multi-track recording, professional cutting, high-end effects (such as the real-time space simulator or sound restoration tools), a complete digital mixer, real-time CD/DVD burning functionality and much, much more.

Sequoia was designed for the requirements of modern, effective teamworking. Within a network, multiple users can work simultaneously with the software. The integrated administration functions permit the assignment of individual rights of access and program configurations.
For years, Sequoia has been an integral part of leading broadcast and mastering studios worldwide, including the BBC, German public broadcasters WDR and MDR, Radio Bremen, the Viennese Symphonic Library and Sterling Sound in New York. For sound engineers, music producers, radio journalists or cutters, Sequoia is an indispensable tool for any type of professional media production. Registered users enjoy professional service, customer-oriented support, an exclusive forum and free support.

Complete solution
Samplitude offers everything that a digital audio work station requires: Recording, mixing, editing mastering - in fact everything up to and including the burning of manufactured Red Book-compatible audio CDs/DVDs. You can of course also carry out DVD productions in the standard 24 bit with up to 192 kHz. The feature set allows a complete in-the-box-work, from composing and editing with MIDI using Matrix Editor, Listen Editor, Drum Editor, Score Editor and VSTi up to the final CD/DVD in one software:
¢Low-Latency-Audio-Engine
¢VST- and DirectX-Plugins
¢Full range of MIDI Editors: Matrix Editor, Listen Editor, Drum Editor, Score Editor
¢Automatic latency compensation in the complete signal flow
¢External remote control
¢Realtime room simulator with convolution
¢Unique Object-oriented Editing

Unique Object-oriented Editing
As an enhancement to the traditional concept of mixer-supported editing of complete tracks, all versions offer countless possibilities for direct real-time sample editing. Recorded audio tracks can thus be cut into as many objects as you wish. Every object can be edited with individual fades and effects, such as Equalizer, Timestretching, Pitchshifting or plug-ins. Samplitude also offers Aux-Sends on the object level, the well-known linearphase mastering effects, and a widely variable signal flow.

First Class Effect Settups
From mixing to mastering, all production needs are met: Award-winning equalizers, various dynamic processors, Timestretching, Pitchshifting, Reverb and Delay, plus the high-end mastering effects: Multi-tape compressor, Multi-band stereo enhancer, FFT filter, Amp Simulator, Vocoder, room simulator with folding principle, De-noiser (utilizing the noiseprint method) and De-hisser for real-time noise reduction. Besides routing possibilities for all effects that allow a freely configurable signal flow, these possibilities are not only available to the object level, but also in each mixer channel. Further features: improved solo effects, unlimited routable busses and Aux send busses, VST and DirectX plugin support, flexible routing of all integrated and plugin object effects and mixer channel effects.

Burning CDs/DVDs
Red Book-compatible audio CDs can be burnt on-the-fly from the arrangement, without having to take any destructive intermediary steps. Furthermore, you can create audio DVDs, DVD-Rom backups and even MP3 CDs quickly and conveniently. The continuously updated support makes sure that even the latest models burn perfectly with Samplitude.

Multitrack Recorder
Sequoia allows you to play and record up to 999 tracks simultaneously in synch with either a video or a film. Everything is synchronized perfectly with the sample. You can assign all physical inputs and outputs independent of the audio hardware used. Between 24 and 128 physical I/Os are currently possible, and not only on the studio desktop - the latest laptops offer the same possibilities with suitable audio hardware.

100% Sound Neutrality and Phase Steadiness
One of the strongest features of Sequoia is absolute sound neutrality comparable to high-end consoles. The sound always remains full and transparent while retaining depth. Highly developed digital algorithms, absolute phase stability and constant use of floating point resolution ensures that the sound retains subtle nuances - even after the most intensive digital editing. That means transparency, neutrality and the retention of transience and spatiality.Different audio formats from 16 to 32 bits and sample rates of up to 192 kHz can be employed in the same arrangement.
