    Spitfire Symphony Orchestra in 2023

    Since we've taken off from the comparison runway, here's some examples of each that I think capture what I hear as the essence of each library. BBCSO's clarity (but not so much 'sweep'), CSS's rock-solid rhythmic precision and warmth combined with CSB's hit-the-back-wall brassiness, Berlin's...

    Spitfire Symphony Orchestra in 2023

    Yep - there's that video. Not sure who 'Artemis' is, but I made those recordings originally to decide whether it was worth it to use EWHS Diamond because they had the main mics, as opposed to the mids (yup: I prefer main by some margin) and only did the other ones as (literally) an afterthought...

    Spitfire Symphony Orchestra in 2023

    Funny that SSO is back on the radar, since BBCSO and AROOSASOASOOSO (that's what we're calling the new Abbey Road 'not foundations' thing, right?) and the Studio Orchestra thing, and 10,000 evolutions and Composer Toolkits and all the rest have come and gone. My hot take: SSO is a pinnacle of...

    How to actually compose with the melodic minor scale?

    Melodic minor gives two very colorful dominant sounds, as the 7(#11) on the fourth step of the scale, and an 'alt' chord a half-step below the scale (on the 7th step). It's also one of the two (and probably the most used) chord-scales to use over the half-diminished, at the sixth step of the...

    Black Friday is Here - 75% OFF | Loyalty Discounts (Audio Imperia)

    While the site is (for me anyway) down, I can ask what might be a silly question: I'm fairly certain that most (all?) of my AI libraries were purchased from NI directly. Are these valid for the loyalty discounts? I don't remember seeing a way to add them to the User account when the website...

    How does driving in Los Angeles compare with busy places in Europe?

    To make chillbots point: I'd be with you from the 134 to the 210, but I'd take that all the way to the 57 and avoid the 605, since the interchange after Irwindale is usually smoother for me. Just keep left to stay away from the 71 if it gets backed up! Of course, living out in the wilds like...

    How does driving in Los Angeles compare with busy places in Europe?

    Is Mike doing one of his NAMM-prep blogs this year? He's always full of good advice, especially for first-timers. It's often good to ask a local what the traffic will be like for specific trips. Travelling eastbound on the 10 on a workday evening will show red the entire length on most map...

    How does driving in Los Angeles compare with busy places in Europe?

    Hi, Peter! One thing to note is that the show is in Anaheim, which is actually a bit out of LA proper. For the rest of the world, it's the same thing, but Orange County is a thing unto itself here. Also - if you can stay in Anaheim, you save at least 90 minutes of driving each day from...

    What's the Ozone 10 of classical and orchestral music?

    Audiolens is obviously step one, but one thing to remember is that there's plenty of flexibility built-in. Switching from 'Shape' to 'Cut' in the Stabilizer makes it useful in many more settings, making it feel more like a kind of 'deesser' for the whole bandwidth rather than an upward...

    Yeah, I guess Figma technically isn't code (not to get into one of those 'is CSS code fights, either' lol) so going from Figma to KSP isn't really a transpiler's job. Sorry if that was confusing! In Figma, you can use the prototyping tools to build animations by moving from the 'default'...

    Pretty simple tone in theory - Blackface Fender amp, especially a crankier one like a Super, Vibroverb or Vibrolux, turn it up, turn up the reverb, dial down the bass and let it rip.

    [v5.0.1 update now available] Presenting AmpliTube 5! Available now.

    Surprisingly no mention here, but - Amplitube 5 is out! If you were expecting an e-mail for those who pre-ordered...well, I don't know what's going on there. Doesn't matter, really, to be honest - go check it out. A brief (as in - trading out amps in 2 sessions and having an hour-long chug...

    [v5.0.1 update now available] Presenting AmpliTube 5! Available now.

    I'm sure Peter is going to post this soon, but I just watched it and thought I'd throw it up here to recap some of the latest. So now there's actual video content of the new gear, and a bit of the VIR in action. There was some footage with Zaza of the JCM-800 (premiered in AT4) through the Red...

    Tiger the Frog's Alphabetical List of November 2020 Sales

    Got the e-mail this morning that STL Tones has most of its line of Guitar effects and profiles for their effects on a 50% off offer for "Black November." There are a few things that don't seem to be at the correct price - not sure if they're still updating the site, or if there are items that...

    [v5.0.1 update now available] Presenting AmpliTube 5! Available now.

    It's kind of frustrating that when, with relatively simple questions about the product, these non-answers keep popping up. I effectively said "I can SEE what is new, but it is within your power to help me EXPERIENCE in some capacity what the new material will actually mean." The response is to...

    [v5.0.1 update now available] Presenting AmpliTube 5! Available now.

    Well, alright, I'll ask a new gear questions: 1. So - no new cabs for the new amps, right? Feels like that's a trick missed there, since having a Fried....errr, "Miniplex" set of cabs with a mix of Greenbacks and Vintage 30's would have been killer. Especially since the new VIR thing records...

    Matt Creamer Audio, are you around? You did the best videos around on World Suite 1 - we need a WS 2!!!! P.S. if you haven't seen it, it's glorious:

    8DIO Guitar Sale \ $38 - $48 each + FREE GWP

    That's kind of true, but kind of not really. Dobro is a brand of resonator more than a type or class of it, because they made a number of different resonators using different systems of mechanical amplification. They're known for one system in particular, but did build others. It's just that...

    Studio One 5 Online Presentation

    Yeah - I think i posted a page or so later that I'd identified that as the problem? Anyway - that's not normal behavior in any other DAW. It takes seconds to load VEP with 16 midi ports or 48 in Cubase or Logic, so this is clearly a Studio One issue. And it's not as simple as "Just reduce the...

    Amadeus Symphonic Orchestra vs NotePerformer 3

    Doesn't answer your question necessarily, but I switched over to Noteperformer for "here's where this 'legit' score that i'm never going to be bothered to tweak hundreds of individual notes in a full-on sample library sounds like" duty a little over a year ago, and when I started bringing in NP...

    Studio One 5 Online Presentation

    Wanted to follow up on this. The behavior in mine is clearly based on the number of MIDI inputs being sent per VEP7 instance over VST3. Mine are ordinarily set to 48 per, and this is when Studio One has pronounced loading times in propagating an instance. With 16 per, it is significantly...

    Studio One 5 Online Presentation

    Lucky me, then. VE Pro 7 and Studio One 5 here, too - and it's doing it every time I drag it over, after a restart, on fresh new files or when I load an existing one. Just to confirm - you're doing the VST3 version, not the 16-midi-channel VST2?

    Studio One 5 Online Presentation

    Pretty profoundly disappointed at the moment. Takes about 3-4 minutes to just insert an instance of VE Pro 7 as a VST3. So - just to connect with the slave computer's VEP is going to take me about an hour. Not sure how this is going to be even vaguely usable in that state...

    Studio One 5 Online Presentation

    and.....reloaded a few more times and then it worked. I'm thinking the servers are exploding at the moment, so hang in there if it isn't working? Trying to download anything on their Hub fails as well for me...
