Samplitude Version 11 - New  EQ116 RIAA-recovery-curve.  Record a LP into a sound card and you'll need this phonographic EQ recovery curve to make it sound correct. Phase Linear and a great solution.

Stereo Enhancer (mix Buss) 3 presets - After spend a long while looking for a good non-intrusive stereo enhance, I was brought back to the built in version in Sam since it did the different things others were doing, and a few other cool features.

*New* Analog tape compression for the Multi-Band Comp Made specifically for snare drum but please try it everywhere, This preset for Sam's Multiband compressor has the compression curve that tape gives when hit with percussive material.   TO SET UP.   Load on to track before any other plugs and use the mixers channel input gain to feed the Multiband.  Example; on a snare, set the gain so that on hard hits you are only seeing a few DBs of compression.
