Magix Samplitude X vs MOTU Digital Performer

No other DAW provides Object FX automation.

Cutting, slicing, duplication, control, effects, wave editing and more.

You can organise your work space. All windows are ready to put wherever you wish. Samplitude also support docking and skins.

MIDI is a breeze in this program, especially with the MIDI editing tools and object based editing, it makes the workflow so much smoother.

Plugins and software included like isotope elements and sound forge .

Elastic Audio is fast, simple and effective.

Nearly everything is possible. Even the onboard plugins are excellent. Multitrack recording and automated mixing at the same time. All plugins are usable object based. Depending on the capabilities of the computer, it's possible to providing headphone mixes with very low latency right through the machine. Even using the onboard Variverb.

This feature is not found in other DAW's novadays. You can just drag'n'drop, copy/paste objects, tracks, whatever inbetween multiple projects. You might have 4 or more projects where you want to interchange content. Nothing as simple as that in samplitude.

You can change themes and waveform and meter colors.
