Thank you for your kind words guys, we are really trying to do this right and be transparent!
Which mics would you reccommend to trying to get closer to the "broad-mix" you use in the video?
Still in LA right now, so I don't have a chance to check right now, but the choice of mix is really just a matter of personal preference. You can essentially play around with the levels and EQ until you find something that sounds right to you personally
Will the next walkthroughs of the template use Sample Modelling-setup for brass, and Aron Venture + Audio Modelling-setup for woodwinds?
We want to do a walkthrough for every teaser with the original setup, but it's possible that other videos come out first, as we've got some announcements coming up!
Now I understand what those numbers mean (S1/S2). So only body and then humanization-settings in DivisiMate making sure no phasing is happening when recording? Or do you microtune and change individual settings for each violin too?
The instrument bodies and the different positionings within EAReverb 2 are the key. They reduce the phasing quite a bit. You could also detune every instrument slightly as well and switch up more parameters, but Peter .
If I understand the manual correctly, CC values are randomly added or substracted on every CC message change, am I right (so no jitter or random LFO modulating the values)?
The humanization engine is something that we want to rework at some point, so this is bound to change but right now the different humanization types do the following:
Note Timing: Delay every note by a different random amount of milliseconds
Velocity: Add or subtract a different random value to the velocity of every note.
CC Timing: Delay the CC Data of a given part by a constant quasi-random value for each complete part. As you said, this is more useful when you are playing slower parts and crescendos.
CC Value: Add or subtract a quasi-random value to CCs for each part
I would love to set up a more complex humanization engine at some point that relies on slow oscillating individual functions instead of random values. Go a couple of ideas there, but that's for another time.
Would you consider implementing the option to filter specific CC numbers?
Considered and on the list. We already manually exempted the Sustain Pedal and the UACC controller from humanization. Will see how we can make this kind of choice available to the user in the future. Probably not easy to do, but could be worth it.
Thanks for the suggestion!
So we'll get the discount code for Divisimate from Audio Modeling? Great.
Yes, indeed! The mails with the discount codes went out on Friday. But if you didn't sign up for their newsletter they are not allowed to send it to you because of GDPR laws. So if you didn't get it, just hit up their support to receive your code
Best,
Steffen
