Looks cool. The choice of microphones is a bit strange imo. But certainly worth to check out.

Re: Morricone - The Thing

Another thing that sets EM apart imo from a lot of other first class film composers especially the Hollywood ones is that he never cut corners in utilizing the romantic classical history and copying the many 19th and beginning 20th century master scores which kind of was a goto for 20th century ...

Re: iZotope Tonal Balance 2 - FREE until May 26

Same here. Always on the master bus. For free it's a no brainer. They probably are about to bring version 3. With the free version they might get customers for the usually pretty steep upgrade price. Just a suspicion.

Re: Morricone - The Thing

This must be unbelievable interesting. Since I read the fabulous book Ennio Morricone which is basically a long very deep interview, I understood how deeply involved EM was in 20th century new music and it was basically his roots as a composer. Not something you might expect if you only know his ...

Re: Steinberg Dorico 6 Released

Changing titles and fonts by double clicking in the score is nice I find. It always felt a bit complicated to search for the right menu especially in the beginning before you become used to the workflow. Changing chord symbols to my liking used to drive me crazy. And being able to use more custom ...

Re: Sleeper libraries or developers

That's sort of what I mean. I have zero doubt that FabFilter's EQ is every bit as good and versatile, likely slightly better but I just don't need it. The more I get into Fabfilter ProQ 4 the more I think it could be the one plugin that replaces all others. It's incredible versatile. Can be used as ...

You can get it for fee at Plugin Boutique by purchasing any other plugin. So potentially for a couple ...

Re: Berlin Studio?

It's one of those plugins that very fast become a goto without thinking very much about it.
Need a room for a dry instrument? Throw Berlin Studio at it and adjust to taste. Simple as that. For me at least. Not much not to like about it.

This was the first time since I got my first CB version which was I think 2011 or 12 that I got the update immediately. If the score editor really does what it promises it's a great improvement.
