I recently upgraded to C4 from SX1. I've been using Samplitude up 'til
now, but got kind of fed up with certain Sam limitations.

I am so impressed with C4 and it's capabilities. I love patching in
outboard f/x with delay compensation. I actually dig many of the
included f/x plugs and the Studio eq is not too shabby. I was just
messing with the envelope shaper on a snare and could get a ton of
control with it (trick I just found: when snare fills need more oomph,
automate the release time and open it up for the fill - makes them big
and ballsy).

One of the reasons I switched away from Sam is it has a kind of
incomplete or sloppy aspect to it. They add new features but don't
complete or integrate them fully. C4 is totally the opposite - a very
slick, pro bit o' kit.

I'm contemplating something DJ will no doubt appreciate. There are some
excellent f/x in Sam I would like to be able to patch into from C4, but
they are proprietary. Can I run Sam on a separate machine and patch via
the sends out thru ADAT LP into a channel in Sam with the f/x on it? I
wonder if it senses the actual delay or just computes it from the driver
latency settings? If it just computes it will not compensate for the
delay into and out of the Sam machine's sound card. When I get time to
install sam on the other machine I'll check it out.

If you are looking for a really excellent, mature and robust DAW I do
recommend C4.
