New Spitfire and Charlie Clouser collab?!

[Soundbed]

Have you had time to play with the Mix 2 + 3?

Yes. They all sound great.

In this regard, by operating from the SIGNAL Mixer page, the Mix 1, 2 and 3 sliders, this cuts and cancels the previous one selected; this does not happen for the other faders for the following signals.

We can combine them except the first three, I have the impression. t's a bit confusing, isn't it?

I don't have the library yet but I think it was mentioned that you have the option to turn this behavior off in the settings of the plugin.

As far as I understand the mixes stand for themselves and are not designed to be combined with the other signals (I guess you might encounter phasing but maybe not). So if you do this it's kind of your own responsibility (in terms of sound).

 

[geronimo]

Yes, you're right _

So I found in Settings -> Interface: Enable automatic exclusive mic group behavior Option. Need to have it on Disable in my choice of work; thank you _

 

[zeng]

Well, are you going to use any plugin such as "compressor" on Hammers? Or is it enough by itself on recordings?

I used to go out and get hammered now I go to VI-Control forum and get a Hammering

Although this behavior can be disabled, the reason we made Mix 1/2/3 exclusive to the other individual mic positions in the Signals page is because the individual mic positions are what were used to create the Mixes, and it is possible that if you enable a Mix AND one or more individual mic positions then you might hear phasing / flanging / other weird and undesirable sonic results. So this was done to prevent users from just enabling all faders and getting weird sounds and thinking something is wrong.

But we recognize that this will not happen in every combination of Signals, and also some users may be using individual outputs to process the various Signals in ways that will prevent the phasing / flanging, so we made it an option - but we left the default behavior that the Signals are exclusive until the user manually enables the non-exclusive behavior.

Many thanks for the clarification; it's quite logical and emanates from a great consideration of the user.

Has anyone tried this with the Sensel Morph with drum overlay? I have been thinking about getting a drum trigger specifically for Hammers. I used to play drums when I was 16-17 but have only been a finger drummer since (still have my drum sticks in a cupboard somewhere). I wonder if there are better options or if the Sensel will be a great option for me? I like the idea of changing the overlays and having an MPE capable device.

This is one of my few "wow, this was a good purchase" reactions within the first few key presses. Another being Berlin Strings Special Bows, and Afflatus being another.

It feels as good as it sounds. Or, rather, there's no room for distinction. The feel and the sound are the same entity, and it rips.

NICE!

Im using an old Roland F-130R piano I dismantled to fit under my desk.

Good job. I was told my old Roland Fantom G8 with its 88 weighted keys wasn't compatible with Windows 10. I was about replace it when I spotted a fix on the internet for the Win 8 driver, so I made the changes recommended using notepad and voila it works fine. Admittedly every time there's a major Windows 10 update (emphasis major as most regular updates don't require it) I have to go through the unregistered driver acceptance process again but that's a small price to pay. I can even use the built-in 8 sliders and 4 knobs for dynamics etc. Don't need a separate midi controller. Similarly the Zoom R16 I use gives me a lot of additional control over tracks. Taught me a lesson that you don't have to keep on buying new kit if you can adapt what you already have. Very tempted by Hammers as a result of the @charlieclouser walkthroughs and his very helpful comments in this forum. Great guy!

This sounds VERY, very good!! Love the 9x RR too! Makes a big difference! I will spend some more time checking this out tonight! Don't mind the 100GB at all - it's worth it! I have to ask. Any chance at all of NKS version of this? : /

I downloaded and to my surprise shows up in KK w/previews. I didn’t see NKS listed anywhere so was a happy surprise. All controls are mapped so really nice.

Yes, I believe NKS was included from the start. I don't use an NI keyboard or NKS or KK so I could not test, but that's an aspect that is important to many users so Spitfire wasn't going to let that one slide...

Awesome library. Congrats. NKS is pretty important for my workflow and I couldn’t find any info it was supported. Glad it is

Yes, Christian was relentless in his persuading and prodding for us to do something, anything, together. Over the course of a couple of years he kept revisiting the subject until he broke my will and I could resist no longer!

His enthusiasm for new sounds and new collaborators is bottomless, and I'm grateful he deemed me worthy!

I'm quite pleased to be a part of the extended Spitfire family, and the entire experience has been great from my end.... and rest assured we're already brainstorming on what we might do next together.

I kind of wanted to get these drums out of the way first since I knew it would be the most logistically complex to record, and would require the most serious investment of time on my part to process and mix the recordings and prepare them for editing. For me this was not by any means a case of showing up to supervise the sessions and then walking away and waiting for the results - I didn't let the Spitfire team start on any editing until I had spent months tweaking the recordings and editing the Loop performances, and then once they started digesting that content I dove into doing the Warps, which was another stupidly long process. It all took FAR longer than I thought it would to complete my end, but I couldn't just shove it out there half-baked. Glad people seem to be liking it so far!

thank you for all the insight and congratulations on the release. I look forward to check it out!

I think it sounds quite nimble and refined, classy, like that awesome intro from Spectre. Nothing like the architect's brutalist dream they seem to think is necessary to talk about in the marketing drivel.

He kicks ass with those drums (and the awesome loops). There is a little machine gun effect i am quite allergic for. They had it in the AR flutes they recently released too.
