Re: ANWIDASOFT - SPATIO Hall

Too bad there’s no aax version, but I suppose at $25 they are keeping it simple. I would like to know how it compares to more expensive reverbs like vintage verb 😄, fabfilter R verb, and the Lexicon bundle. I could only use this through VE Pro which limits its application (If I remember it’s there 😂...

Re: Sonokinetic Orchestral Strings (with A/B divisi)

For all intensive purposes, it’s June. Perhaps Sono should stop tweeting posters that emphasis “SOON” and just get on with it until they are dropping it, or it at least has been delivered to NI for encoding. I’m happy to wait, just stop making injuries worse by providing concrete evidence of your ig...

Re: ProjectSAM Symphobia 4: Price Drop and 1.1 update

Still looks confusing but apparently $479 is with all the discounts, undiscounted it’s $599. But if you own a Symphobia or buy another with Pandora it’s $100 off... not sure where the extra $20 off is coming from... Then Core is listed as $239 and those with another Symphobia (or buying one) is $50 ...

You know, I am a huge Beatles fan, as well as some others, so you would think I would be the perfect target for these kind of things, but in the end, to me they are just freaking samples and if they get the job done with a little massaging, I don’t much care where they come from.

Re: NI to no longer allow registration of legacy products

This actually begins a limit (maybe 10 or 12 years?) to how long libraries will be supported. I’m not sure why I expected it to be longer (probably because I still have working hardware that’s 30+ years old) but it should be a new factor when buying libraries. Sad to think many of my “new” libraries...

Re: NI Mysteria vocal instrument

Even moreso, since this can play through a scene and give you textures that are nowhere else, but they, like 8Dio and East West, seem to always price it at double or triple it’s market value, so when you get it at half off you think you got a deal. In reality this, Thrill, and Action Strikes are wor...

Re: CineBrass Sonore

Mike Barry made a very good post at VI-C to explain in more depth the recording techniques used here, and what they've learned down the years. It all sounds highly plausible to me, that the secret to good dynamics and legato is all in how its recorded, and there's only so much you can do in the edi...

@Guy. Have you worked with that tonal balance thing on orchestral or even hybrid music? I’ve used O8 for mastering but never really used the plugins when mixing. On a more personal note. I really miss the reverb they had in Ozone, was it pre version 6(?). I used it all the time. Best, /Anders The r...

A new reverb in public beta, sounds like it makes some unique and interesting tails, and has a preset crossdissolve glide which is “perdy koo”. Seems to be a close contender to Adaptiverb, but not as expensive (and hopefully not as CPU intensive(?)) . I have Altiverb, Adaptiverb, PCM, R-Verb, Valhal...
