Unfortunately, the videos don´t go into that much detail, and the absence of any transport controls means that they can´t be paused or rewound. It takes the form of a menu of tutorial videos that can be accessed from the taskbar.
The new Task Assistant can be very useful, especially if you´re a sequencing novice. On the arrangement front, little has changed aside from the introduction of Auto Jam - a new function that´s designed to spice up the processes of composition and arrangement. It´s a simple feature and the algorithms aren´t the most sophisticated we´ve heard, but it certainly beats castration. The Reverb effect has also been improved (with a stereo hall algorithm), and the Elastic Audio pitch correction tool is now capable of automatically generating harmonies. There´s also enhanced distortion in the form of the Tape Simulator plug-in, which offers lighter colouration than the existing Amp Simulator. On the plus side, it sounds fine, and really enhances the Audio Studio´s sound-shaping capabilities.
Unfortunately, this can´t be used as an insert on the mixer, though it has to be employed as a track effect, which is a little limiting if you´d rather use it on the end of an effects chain. Possibly the most important of these is the new graphic 4-band parametric EQ, which supersedes Audio Studio´s rather limited 4-band non-graphic EQ. Instead, you get a wide range of audio-based features, several of which are new to this version. The Audio Studio component of the package is based on a cutdown version of Magix´s Samplitude software, and doesn´t feature any MIDI at all (and therefore no VSTi compatibility).
