Samplicity announces Berlin Studio plugin

Can somebody confirm when the € 159.00 price will end and it goes up to full price?
Also, somebody said you can reduce the tail size (as you can in Altiverb) but that seems to contradict an earlier statement from the developer (unless I misunderstood it). Can someone who actually owns the plugin confirm this?
Thanks!!

There is a TAIL knob within the GUI and yes, I can confirm that it works very effectively.

Also, today is a good day to stop sniffing glue. (In response to your avatar)

Hello all!

Really, thanks SO MUCH for your kind words and support!

I am sorry if I cannot match your nicknames here with orders... maybe we have emailed/chatted and I cannot link that with discussions here...

The first reviews, comments, even Youtube clips, I had not expected that the first reactions would be so cool.

I just want to share that the few nasty Logic/Silicon issues have been fixed. The Silicon issue was a serious bug. The validation issue was really stupid: the plugin refused to work with sample rates below 44.1 kHz - which was intentional. But got black-listed because of that.

The emails with new downloads will go out tomorrow, and hopefully my email-list provider will cooperate. No more manual emailing. Now some time to read the most recent pages here ;)

Thanks again!

Peter

I agree 100%. I bought the plug in today and now read here that it is only usable on online computers, which is a no go for me. My computers are not online more often than every few months. Fortunately I haven't downloaded or registered it yet, so hopefully they can cancel the purchase. Will get in touch about this.
Would have preferred Ilok copy protection. Very very sad.

A next update, mid-late December will have iLok.

The service that is now in place has a semi-offline option, but I have been instructed to test it well. And I want to have the AU/Logic/Silicon fix out Asap, so can't do this in a hurry.

I am willing to look into the semi-offline activation and can maybe provide it on a per-client basis, on request (no charges, PM or email me), but I cannot include it now in the update for all customers.

This discovery was also for me a bummer, I hadn't read about it in the documentation I used. Sorry!

@Peter Emanuel Roos After using this plugin a few days, I can't express how amazing it is. It's a true game changer for me. Thanks so much! I was thinking. A handy feature in a later update could be to add a pan slider to the dry signal so you match the panning with the other mics. Cheers!

Seen the two knobs on the left side?

They position the signal that goes into the other channels. I agree this approach may be confusing... Will be replaced later by a more fancy dual panner - one of the features that did not (yet) make it.

Can you route (for example) the surround mics to a different output? So you can really use it on a surround system?

If you use two instances, you can set it up.

Quantum Leap also uses that approach and claim Surround support :dancedance:
Hehe, no I will not say Berlin Studio supports multi-channel this way.

But (!): if you set the tail level of any reverb channel to zero, after 2 seconds there will be no more CPU use for that channel. So if you do this with the surround mics channel, you can it in a second instance (without Decca and AB) with hardly any additional CPU load.

I am aware that "Surround mics" is confusing in this context. Maybe I should call them Very Wide And High...

Of course a surround version is in the planning, with proper panner controls and routing, but this will not be available before spring.

Hi,

I see Berlin Studio is available to Pre-Order at € 159.00 , so it's not available yet ?

If it's not yet available, and I Pre-Order, when can I expect it to be released ?

Thanks,
Muziksculp

Price will go slightly up from 159 to 169 on Friday 18, an intro price until the end of the year.

This thing is amazing. I mostly use OT libraries, and this thing allows me to quickly and easily put the rest of my libraries in Teldex with the main orchestra. It works especially well if the library has a spot mic. The only quarrel that I have had is with Tina Guo, and that's probably more about me knowing what I am doing than anything. It is definitely more difficult with an ambient library.

I can recommend to also experiment with this plugin in ways it wasn't intended for by not taking the descriptions too literally. For example, I just sent two identical copies of a small dry string section to two instances of Berlin Studio on two separate tracks. I used one instance to position the strings in the woodwinds section and soloed the Decca tree. In the other instance I positioned the strings at the sides and soloed the surround mics. Sounded good! :) Of course, you can create many problems this way, but might be worth it to try (if you're not going for a realistic representation of the orchestra).

Cool!

Next version will also feature a left-right swap of the hall. I have NO idea yet if that can in some cases result in mud, but for placing for instance solo instruments it add some additional "locations", say Violins 1 on the right (maybe for a harp, whatever).
 
I was super hesitant to purchase yet another reverb plugin, but I'm happy to report this thing is amazing and it is so much more than just another reverb. I don't think I've ever had so much fun mixing libraries together because you simply load into it a patch from a library, mix the mics to taste, and it sounds incredible right away!

Wow, Peter, this is really amazing - you've come a long way since your first dealings with IR's!:) Congratulations - it must have been a monumental task to create this plugin!

Thanks so much Simon, it is already sooo long ago when we had the #midi-mockup group, with Thomas B. and KingIdiot (Ashif, RIP)...

There is quite some work involved in making this kind of software.

Cheers man!

In the grand scheme of things, I am not sure if it matters. But ideally there would be a spot behind the conductor for violin, piano, cello, or what ever soloist is desired.

I agree, and it would be great if I could go back to Berlin and do new / additional recordings for many more positions in the hall.

Here's a comparison of Mozarteum and Berlin Studio using one of the @aaronventure demos to minimize my ability to butcher a comparison to just mixing. :)

For the Berlin Studio version, I have all AV instruments set to Studio IR with close mics solo'd and maxed in volume.

AV Steel Ballroom Mozarteum (Mix Mic 3 on all instruments):
View attachment AV Steel Ballroom (Mozarteum).mp3

AV Steel Ballroom Berlin Studios (-6 dB direct, 0 dB Decca, -9 dB AB, -12 dB Surround):

Wow!
