Sound Library Player

05/08/2026

Small fixes. Smoother sessions.
Amped Studio 3.0.2 is live. The biggest change: the Sound Library now has a real audio player with a scrubbable waveform, so you can properly preview any sample before dragging it into your project.
Context menus are reorganized. The Export Audio dialog is restructured with detailed options laid out clearly. Tempo and time signature are now visual pickers. The manual was rebuilt from scratch to document every part of the studio as it is right now.
Plus the usual round of fixes and polish.
Save this for your next session, or share it with a producer who'd appreciate it.
