BorisFX Acquires High-End Audio Product Family from MAGIX

Yesterday, BorisFX announced it has acquired a high-end audio product family – Sequoia, Samplitude, and Music Studio – from MAGIX.

• Sequoia is a high-end DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) for recording and mixing, professional mastering, immersive audio, and real-time broadcast CMS workflows. Highlights include Dolby Atmos support, ADM Editor, spectral cleaning, loudness polarization, DDP mastering, object-based editing, edit multiple projects while recording, broadcast CMS and automation systems, third-party plugins, including CrumplePop, and tons more.
• Samplitude offers video editors, professional musicians, and producers a complete digital studio. Top features include object-based editing, the ability to edit in multiple projects simultaneously, unlimited recording (up to 999 tracks and 256 inputs and outputs), customizable multi-format export of ranges, stems, and tracks, and advanced comping.
• Music Studio is a user-friendly, beginner creative music production toolkit that includes virtual instruments, loops, and sounds with 100s of samples across multiple genres. Designed to get new users  started fast, it allows users to compose, record, mix, and master songs in a few clicks without musical experience.

All three of these are Windows-only and available on the BorisFX website.

Today, to learn more, I spoke with Boris Yamnitsky, President of BorisFX.

“Did you know, Larry,” Boris began, “that most major music software began in Germany? It started decades ago with the Amiga computer. Ableton, Steinberg and other music workstations go back to the beginning of digital music. So did the founders of the programs we just acquired. They have a long history… In fact, Sequoia was voted by PC Magazine as the best application for music mastering for 2025.”

I asked Boris why he acquired these tools. Most of our customers, Boris told me, are high-end media companies: CBS, NBC, BBC, NHK, Netflix, Disney, ILM… “We are a regular part of their post-production workflow. We believe all our customers will benefit from the AI-driven audio post production and music editing offerings from Boris FX.”

“One of the reasons we acquired these,” Boris continued, “was because their current owner was concentrating on distribution. We want to grow them and boost their development. With the development tools available today, AI can significantly improve audio: restore poor audio, reduce noise, create stems directly from a finished mix, but there is more we can do with it.

“All three applications share the same code base. They are extremely fast. They can operate in real time, yet deal with audio at the object level. They are an excellent platform for future ideas.”
