Re: Lexicon Summer Sale / 50% off

Just a bit of a warning, LXP and MPX have never quite lived up to PCM, both in terms of controls and sound quality (I believe they were both consumer grade low cost outboard gear before becoming VST's) . So you may want to save your $36. But $211 is the best price I've ever seen for the PCM reverb b...

Re: Handheld / MAD RocknFunk

I bought the original MAD kit a while back but got almost no use out of it because of it's limitations. No Mapping options, including GM, makes it difficult to play on an E kit, and the patterns (which only work on their kits because of the special mapping) cannot be used with other drums or other d...

Re: Auddict releases "United Strings Of Europe"

(...) but this lib might have me diving back in. I would advice against it, Noam, if I may. Very average and inconsistent library. While the sound is fairly decent (never great though), there are a couple of things which, to my mind, makes this very difficult to recommend: ● Only the regular sustai...

Carbon Electra Synth €30

Does anyone here own this? Any impressions? I have too many good synths, but $33 (vstbuzz.com) makes me take a second look (but sadly no aax, yet).

Re: Pro Tools HD integrates with Dolby Atmos

This is actually great for mixing, will make it easier to deliver multi formats. Reminds me that I thought years ago most TV music would be mixed in surround by now, never thought time would be such a factor. Most producers I know are trying to figure out ways of streamlining the process more, not a...

Re: A Sound Effect.... Spring sale

The Spring Sale is over, but they still have many things on sale as much as 50% off and higher. It's difficult for me not to return there either, but if it's stuff I know I can use immediately, or my lib is sorely missing, it's hard to beat half off at a place that's low priced to begin with.

Wow, watching through the videos, this is quite the beast. Inevitably, its really geared towards EDM / Hip Hop / club music, since the sound of a room and PA is one of the big selling points. Some very clever features though, these two videos start to give a flavour of the versatility https://youtu...

I'm actually surprised I haven't seen this earlier, since everyone was using them in the 90's. Only 13 hours left on the sale. Strange I can find nothing on the interface (for Kontakt). Is there one? Kontakt 5.6.5 is required.

As part of their anniversary clelbration 1K multimedia is having a 25% off sale. Which would not be a big deal if it didn't include the Modo Bass, a seemingly very realistic modeled bass. In fact many basses in one plugin (VST2, VST3, AU, AXX, Mac or PC) with the ability to adjust strings, playing s...

X - I don't think this has changed in 2.0, but it's 1 nki per instrument and mike (4 mic options for most instruments). All the articulations are keyswitches, some momentary, some latched. Larry - forgot to say I've never done a BBB demo as such, it's nearly always combined with other instruments. ...

VI control seems down all morning. Just checking to see if it's me or a bad West Coast connection.
