Re: ProjectSAM Lineage Percussion 1.1 update
FYI there seems to be an issue with the cover art not displaying in the library pane in this 1.1 release version. P Sam are aware.

Re: Hollywood Strings 2
It's a bit curious, isn't it? So often people criticise libraries for having too much baked in vibrato, and yet here when seemingly everything is pure nv until the last 15s... it sounds awfully flat. The trouble is that that piece sounds like it should have a good amount of expression. Perhaps a dif...

Re: ProjectSAM Lineage Percussion 1.1 update
ProjectSAM kindly asked if I’d be interested in reviewing Lineage., with a 1.0 NFR copy. I thought it sounded amazing, but in practice I had quite a few issues. None of the supplied kits covered the most logical ground in the smallest space, and the supplied kit-builder seemed pretty buggy. I just c...

Re: Pro Tools Intro (free) and 2022.9 Melodyne ARA2 integration
I set a friend up with my old 2015 Macbook Pro today. He's an actor is getting into audio book work. He already has a decent Audio Technica mic and some decent sound nous. Pro Tools Intro is fantastic - he'll never want more than a handful of tracks, and in almost every operational regard it is as f...

Re: The Happy Thread Of Free
I have FAR too many synths so I sympathise, Bill. I do like Pigments very much, it's my favourite of the digital synths I have (I've never bonded with Massive X for example), but of course I don't need it. If you are tempted, I think there's a $99 deal once you check out of the free Audio Plugins th...

Some significant changes in this release. Well worth reading the notes on the file format especially. From Steinberg: User interface improvements 13.0.30 introduces further user interface refinements that improve readability and the overall look and feel in several areas. Most of the refinements can...

Re: Pro Tools 2024.3
Huh - thanks Anders, I didn't know that but it's not really working usefully here. In a test on Repro-1, I selected only Output as a parameter. But when I follow your steps, I get the first default controls all pre-mapped and no apparent way way to scroll to the others. In other words - I expect to ...

Re: ProjectSAM: Symphobia range half price
I mostly use VSL Synchron libraries currently and am only mildly interested in this. I prefer working with individual sections and orchestrating everything myself instead of using these types of pre-orchestrated combo libraries, so up until now I've avoided all of the Symphobias and Albions. If I'm...

Re: New iZotope Trash and free Trash Lite
Love the new UI. So quick to get a sound from the XY pad and the three EQ regions (it couldn't be faster to tweak the frequency bands or levels). Main gripe - wish there was a way to make auto-level a global setting, it gets trashed (!) if you change to a different preset. It looks like the UK updat...

Re: New iZotope Trash and free Trash Lite
$79 (reg $99). Haven't seen anything about a discount for Trash 2 owners. Can't figure out how to get Trash Lite, but I'm not trying very hard. Oh! I just clicked and £19 for me who has Trash 2. That's below my impulse buy threshold, and I like the look of the X/Y pads to get a custom sound quickly...

Re: Pro Tools 2024.3
Not been much made of this, but one big change in 2024.3 is that PT now uses efficiency cores in Silicon. Until now only 4 cores showed on my humble basic M2, now it shows all 8.

Re: Pro Tools 2024.3
I remember MIDI effects plug-ins from my days as a Digital Performer user. They were a fun feature, but I rarely used them. I’ll be interested in how they’re implemented by Avid. Honestly I find most of them not very useful in practice, and Avid's seem to be in this trend - I don't know why I'd eve...

In theory, REAPER can be downloaded and is fully featured even without buying a license (personnal license is 60$). It has a 10s nag screen on open to remind you you are on an unlimited trial period, then off you go with the most customizable DAW out there :) https://www.reaper.fm/ Tis true - thus ...

Re: The Happy Thread Of Free
Pro Tools Intro fascinates me. Almost - but not quite - it makes me want to try using it as an experiment to see how far I can push it. 8 instrument tracks, plus another 8 midi tracks so you can make some instruments multi-timbral. Then you have 8 audio tracks - if you're not recording vocals or ins...

Re: The Happy Thread Of Free
I'd done a rough and ready OP with some of the best perrmanent free stuff. An amazing list. Obviously there's way more free out there, if there's something you know is great and I don't have it there give me a jog and I'll add it.

Free is fantastic, but I have dozens of compressors and I use 2 or 3. Amazing and confusing times. Yup, same.

Re: Musio - latest stuff [MUSIO 1 $199 this weekend]
Trying on Monterey-same version/same size. WinZip won’t open it. Any particular reason you aren't using the default macOS Archive Utility app to open zip files? I downloaded Musio today for a trial and it opened right up (on Ventura 13.6.4). Because I didn’t know about it? 😊 I’ve been using WinZip ...
