Samplicity announces Berlin Studio plugin

This is a known issue now, and all focus is on fixing this. In the mean time, users have reported that the plugin works well if you activate it yourself in the PluginManager.

Thanks for your fast answer.
Manual activation doesn't work for me unfortunately.

Also, Metaplugin (hosted inside of Logic) doesn't lists the (VST version of) the plugin.

I used the default settings in Berlin Studio. I didn't touch anything other than placing the instruments in the corresponding section in the GUI.

Thank you - it sounds sooooo good!!
I've also noticed how quickly the plugin loads, and how it doesn't glitch at all when switching presets.
A great product :)

Thank you very much.

The switching between presets (IRs) is something I could publish about in an AES paper, as far as I know this approach is not used in other convolution products, but I may be wrong. Up to 100 switches per second are technically possible, without additional audio computations. I researched and developed this for later use in real-time 3D audio positioning.

You gotta make a copyright on that switching technique!
 
Tested on dry samples and close/spot mics sources... Hands down, this is simply amazing!

To my hears it sounds best adding some wideness and saturation to the original source signals (MStereoSpread from MeldaProduction is great exactly for this). I wish that function was already included in the plugin... maybe in a near future??

Congratulations @Peter Emanuel Roos and all the best!!!

Thanks!

I tested the regular Mid-Side coding, but I did not like the results (yet). When the dust settles a bit and I am working on new functionality the width is certainly high on my list. I will also research decorrelation techniques etc. (needed for a future surround version).
M-S has also side effects (pun) in the phase and frequency department.
I have also experimented with manipulating the cross-channel information ("the middle channels in true stereo"), also not useful in my opinion.

Saturation might be interesting for my other (upcoming) plugins, but I want to have Berlin Studio focused on real/realistic acoustics.
 
Hi Peter,

the sound is incredible indeed, but something seems odd on my system (BigSur, Logic 10.7.4). I just did a test run with a very basic project. 1 Instrument, 1 bus, that's it and the CPU already goes crazy as soon as Berlin Studio is enabled. My templates runs flawlessly with 100+ tracks usually. It did not pass validation and I had to activate it manually though. Any idea what the problem might be ?

I will check this as well in my searches for the AU validation issue. The plugin should be relatively light on the CPU, the internal convolution engine is very efficient. I benchmark the engine in the form of my BM7 plugin against another wellknown product with Bricasti IRs, and it uses 50% less CPU.
Berlin uses three engines in paralel, so it needs some more CPU, but still, I have once used 16 instances in Reaper on a modest i5 laptop with CPU around 50%. So your situation is not good. Will include this in my checks and tests.
