The Sound Board

I like and own most CS products, but the close mics and the cinematic piano both sound dull, not sure why. In a mix with anything else (including a string pad) it would become difficult to hear. Not sure why so much clarity would be removed from the close mics, but the other mics and the classical m...

They have a free trial as well.

Just checking out Composer Tools Pro for the first time. It's an interesting system. https://www.midikinetics.com/products/composer-tools-pro/ https://youtu.be/U6ovjd3q8uc They now have a forum for posting presets, which has been up for a year, but there doesn't seem to be many contributors as of ye...

Clearly I’m a fan of vocoding (see other threads on the issue) and my search for intelligable vocoding may be coming to an end. I’ve been waiting for this rerelease for a long time (had the original and really liked it), but didn’t realize they put out a video at NAMM. The audio is not great but the...

Cool, thanks guy. I’m actually thankful that it’s been consistent, not falling pray to trying to look different just to justify a big upgrade price. Although it would be good if they would add skin customization. After a few days of using 12 the smoothness of slip editing is noticablly improved. And...

Yes, have it all working fine in PT - sometimes. I have 2 issues which might be related. In a large project, opening a K5 instance from quick load causes a PT crash, but fine on a blank instance. Deleting 2 or more multichannel instances from a track preset of any VI also causes a crash. Have a cas...

I can see how this would be an advantage for NI, getting monthly fees that go on even if it's only rarely used (like the gym!) but for the composer? I'm always surprised how people want access to everything. I'm at that point where I don't want to spend too much time choosing. And my personal collec...

This seems like an interesting idea, but everytime I use a plugin that does pitch/volume tracking, the end result becomes a mess. Usually drastic eq is needed to slice out the frequency area you want to keep (like the boom or the crack) but even then it becomes less than satisfactory. Often I end up...

Yes, echoes my thoughts X. Its great fun and great is of use for specific timings to picture. I’m sure clever folks can get some more musical / sound design use out of it. But I’m glad I trialled... when it’s $59 in a sale I’ll add it to the arsenal. My thoughts exactly. Though I'll probably wait u...

This is an interesting library, but there are a few issues. As mentioned control is one. The second is many of the sounds can get sythetic sounding. They have a demo of a siren, but doesn't quite cut it. So for things that are not a turbine, I have yet to hear something that works better than sfx sa...

This seems like one of those synths that I could lose hours in. Was wonderful when I was 22, but now becomes more of a disadvantage. Some very cool sounds and gui ideas Jaap, thanks!

Spot on with a cup of tea. :) Thanks Guy! Good to see the video reviews continue and a plug for TSB. Any chance the new Komplete keyboards might intice you to ditch that velocity deathtrap you call a controller? ;) My older S64 has worked out so well I may pick up an S88 before they loose the toucht...

And just to add I installed and registered all products without a hitch - the new installer seems to work fine now in Windows. Apparently it is important to install / register at some stage. I only had to C/R one plugin for them all to work and appear in my new Korg account. Thanks for all this inf...

30 day trials are now up for Cubase 9.5 and Cubase Elements 9.5 - https://www.steinberg.net/en/products/steinberg_trial_versions/cubase.html (I still haven't tried it myself due to a distinct lack of enthusiasm on my part, but might give it a go at some stage. I also hear on the grapevine that 9.5....

Thanks Guy, this is what I expected. Unfortuately, from what I remember, omf doesn't even keep the track names (much less as you said, plugins), so that's out. I'll give cubase a trial on my newer slave and see how it goes first, but I may get the crossgrade just to have it, kind of disappointed I m...

I noticed the crossgrade from other DAW's was lowered to $255 a couple weeks ago at sweetwater. Does anyone expect that the price might get lower still with this event? https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/CubaseP95CG Also does anyone know if sessions can be transferred from Pro Tools to Cubase (...

This looks great. I was just looking for a better meter too. Now I'm convinced I should just wait on new purchases until Fabfilter comes out with their version. The others always seem to collect virtual dust. ;) Now if they'd just complete my collection with a true dynamic eq, pitch and formant cont...

Actually this video is a big help, I'll give melodyne another wack

And I have Melodyne assistant, which does pitch and formant, just not polyphonic material.

I'm trying to remember what plugin I used to change my male voice to a female voice and it worked really well. I've looked through all my plugins and I can't find it, But perhaps it was just on trial. One I know I tried and liked was Ircam Trax v3 , - great controls. But I was almost sure I had foun...

Some great sounds now $59 intead of $99 (lowest price so far).

Now that Avenger is on sale for $176 (Plugin Boutique) I'm interested again. But after looking through the expansion packs (mostly edm and soft pop synth sounds) I don't see many that I would want. Guy, do you still find the sounds usable a year later? I'm thinking of getting this for it's edgier so...

Thanks X. I didn't buy wormhole after the trial... I was a little disappointed in it really, it felt like a product in search of a purpose, Zynaptiq have made products that are very much purpose-driven in the past. It can do some nice things, but my impression was I could do all those things anothe...

https://www.jrrshop.com/zynaptiq?dir=desc&order=special_from_date Anyone using Wormhole regularly? Guy? Have you found new uses for it? I have many of their other plugins and love them, but this one seems like it would get less use than the others, so I've held off. Now at $96 I'm looking again....
