    String Murmurations - £199 (RRP £249) - Promo ends Feb 29

    Since nobody has provided further information, I will give my guess: - There is no tempo mapping. - Each note triggers a loop which depends on the key (the key determines the intervals that are used), and for Constelations and Blurs depends on velocity as well. - If you play out of key, no loop...

    A new Piano appeared! 'The Upright' by Audio Brewers

    Noted. Since yesterday I've been learning how to use quad surround in logic. It works but it has some bugs on track imports and things like that, but it works. I am thrilled to learn yet another corner of music technology I knew little about. Hopefully, Audio brewers will develop more ambisonics...

    A new Piano appeared! 'The Upright' by Audio Brewers

    Good to know!! I guess my journey continues then, I am seriously considering using ambisonics libraries like yours. This is the record I was referring, I messed up the name of the artist (Rhye, not Rye): Any advice on good decoders?

    A new Piano appeared! 'The Upright' by Audio Brewers

    I have a question about this. If I am only interested in making music that will be listen in the main streaming platforms (spottily, youtube, soundcloud, etc...), is there any value in having the ambisonics version over the stereo? Do the ambisonics samples have anything that translates to...

    Contemporary Drama Toolkit — Available Now!

    I bought it for alternative rock production and I loved it. I have BDT but I don't use it because the sound is too delicate and wet for my goals but CDT is a different beast. You have so many usable sounds. You can adjust the envelope in order to get sounds that have more attack and less decay...

    New album release - 'FIVE'

    This is great! Right up my alley (sucker for modern piano music). Can you tell us more about the tools you used to achieve this highly expressive sound? Congrats and many thanks!

    In need of advices regarding the last MacBook Pro 16’' (to be used with Cubase, Dorico, VSL)

    I am having a very good experience with thr 16 inches. I got the 8 core but not the most powerful (2.3 vs 2.4 ghz per core or something lime that) and i do find it limiting. It does overload cpu very fast ud you use the latest plugin. I cannot really use acustica audio nor IK tape without...

    Unpopular Opinion? I don't really like spring reverbs.

    I like them for sound design. I use audiothing springs and tweet them a lot (filter, drive, whatever is cool). It can provide a special kind of fattening to the source.

    The time I was called "immoral" for using virtual instruments.

    I don't think its clear that VIs diminish the demand for musicians. The ability to sketch parts when producing is a huge plus for including "classical" instruments in many genres. Once you get down that path, at some point you want the real deal, since we all know that a good performance by real...

    What Samples have you regretted buying?

    SA BDT for me. I think many people has mentioned it because the hype on the forums was out of this world. They sound good but they are very niche. The 3 dynamics thing is hard to master and who has the time. Can we resell it? The other thing I regret is the SA solo violin performance patch. I...

    Xsample Contemporary Solo Strings

    Very interesting. I am songwriter doing alternative rock and I am always looking for creative string libraries to do more expressive parts such as what Nick Cave and Warren Ellis write (the last Nick Cave album, full of slides, hit me hard). Question: Am I fine with full Kontakt 5? It says you...

    XPERIMENTA Due Premium Pianos, up to 60% off!

    In your post, when you say "60% off on Piano Two C7 (29$ instead of 79$)", I think you mean C3? In the web page it says that the piano Two is a C3.

    Best of 8Dio?

    The dynamics crossfade in the regular patches is very smooth. It has a very good range. The pianissimo samples are beatifull (maybe the strongest area).

    Best of 8Dio?

    The dynamics on all patches work great. TThe bowed patchs, which contain the pre recorded arcs, are wondeful for pianissimo parts (you have arcs from pp to m, m to ff and many in between). They can be used fo both slow melody lines and sustains. I find them glorious, especially if you are not an...

    Best of 8Dio?

    The legato is good, not very advanced but feels good under the fingers. I think ISS is a good match to your example in terms of closeness, but of course your example contains incredibly human performances, so don't expect miracles. A very important limitation for programming emotional and...

    How do you like to strum chords?

    Strummed Acoustic 2 does that.

    How do you like to strum chords?

    To me, Strummed Acoustic 2 works great. In its most basic form you simply select different strumming patterns (which you can edit), play any chord you want, with the modwheel you choose how up the fret you want to play and with the pitchbend you can emphasize some strumms. It also has deeper...

    Best of 8Dio?

    You can use it for solo strings, but in my opinion they shine for when you need a small ensemble for pop/rock/folk etc. They work very well as company for solo piano pieces. To me thw strengths are: 1. Beatifull dryish sound, top level (i have spitfire solo violin for example). 2. The pre...

    The New York Thread

    Great idea. I remember reading an interview to a female media composer (forgot the name) based on New York and she said that media composers in New York are focused on more niche stuff, mostly non-orchestral. I don't know if that is true, but it would be interesting to discuss it here.

    Daniel Lanois demonstrates performance mixing

    Yeah it was the same for me. To be fair, pharrel was the one who brought the girl, Lanois was surprised on the spot.

    Sonokinetic releases the Alphorn

    I am loving the sound of this. I am always looking for brass sounds that can be used for genres other than orchestal. Do you know if sonokinetic release periodic sales on alphorn? it cost 49 euros now. Should I wait for a better price? I am not in a hurry.
