Although perhaps not as well known in the UK or US as some rivals, Magix's Samplitude is one of the most powerful audio recording and editing packages available. Samplitude's origins date back to the late '80s, when Tilman Herberger and Titus Tost began exploring the possibilities of recording and editing sound on a Commodore Amiga — but it has come a long way since then.

Two features have always shaped the development of Samplitude: an obsessive dedication to purity of sound, and Magix's unique 'object oriented' approach to editing. Samplitude was ported to Windows in 1994, and its latest incarnation is Samplitude Pro X, reworked from the ground up for full 64-bit operation. A first-ever Mac version is also due this year.

Reviewed in last month's SOS (http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/apr12/articles/pro-x.htm), Pro X features a redesigned user interface and numerous new features. Perhaps the biggest temptation is the included full version of Yellow Tools' Independence software sampler, offering Pro X Suite owners a massive 70GB of top-quality content. Also new are support for the AAF and OMF session exchange formats, surround mixing, and the unique ability to use spectral editing on a track-by-track basis in the main editing window. Combine this with an impressive existing feature set and superb collection of bundled plug-ins, and it's no exaggeration to say that Samplitude is the most heavily featured Windows DAW on the market.

For this month's SOS competition, Magix are kindly giving away three separate Samplitude-related prizes. One lucky reader will win the flagship Samplitude Pro X Suite, worth £899/$999, and there's a copy of Samplitude Pro X, worth £449/$499, for the runner-up, with third place claiming the excellent Vandal amp simulator, worth £169/$199.

For a chance of winning, just fill out the form, answering all of the questions (including the tie-breaker), the deadline for entries is 11th June 2012.
