Laura - thanks, well sleuthed. Hello jester700 - at my IPS demo thing we did have DxRevive and it is extremely good. Quality and artefact-wise it wasn't quite as clean as Hush Pro though, and also inexplicably it doesn't do the reverse where you leave only the noise. But on the plus side DxRevive ca...

Hey, I got an email offer to update my Post Production Suite to the new RX11 for $399. Didn't think I wanted it, but I logged in to see the details and the offer jumped to £951.53. I even cleared the cookies. Curious, I went to contact support to see what was going on, but there now appears to be ab...

It works. Seemed fairly tedious to find my way around to find and activate the library, and there seems a lot of clicking just to get going when you launch. But essentially it sounds the same, instrument gui looks the same but in a slicker wrapper. FWIW my single accordian Player library takes up 1....

Thanks Geoff, quite right forgot to mention that. It uses the GPU of the Silicon processors. I was chatting with the developer (just one guy, very friendly chap) and he was saying “never say never” about a Windows version though it’s unlikely due to the GPU thing and him working alone. I’m hoping he...

Single accordions is out. I have one of these so I get the free upgrade - will check out the player on my return to base.

So I'm curious what the competition has been doing that RX needs to catch up with? I think the most pressing need for better noise reduction has been dialogue clean up rather than music use to be honest. A few weeks ago I ran a demo room at the UK’s Institute for Professional Sound. A parade of exc...

RX11 is on the way. Anyone buying RX10 now gets RX11 on release for free. No word on features, except it will allegedly be a ‘big update packed with exciting new features”. It needs to be big, iZotope have fallen way behind the competition. Will be interesting to see if this corrects the trend. Ther...

Tl;dr - some monthly subs have gone up and Ultimate perpetual support plan has gone from $399 to $499, which is pretty eye-watering. The good news - Perpetual Studio is unchanged, and they haven’t rowed back on the reinstatement fee, so you can skip all updates til there’s something you really need....

Not entirely happy this one, as Spectral Plugins have decided to cease development. However three of their plugins are now available for free and they sound interesting: Spacer Spacer has five effects modules which can be linked in any order to generate infinite FX combinations, but are also designe...

Best Service Engine has been the last major holdout from Apple Silicon, with the wonderful Eduardo Tarialonte’s libraries stuck in Rosetta mode. While those libraries are not yet available, the all-new Engine Player is now released and bundled with the Organum Venezia library - https://www.bestservi...

I believe this is a first. Don’t quote me, but I think Spitfire had exclusive use of Air for sample libraries, but this has expired.

It was teased on April 1st, but it wasn’t an April Fool: https://youtu.be/jrDuVeXVbwI?si=CA3u5pOyMp1Xg5ap Monolith puts an otherwise unattainable collection of rare and antique drums at your fingertips—a choir of 53 big drums, carefully tuned and voiced, playable as ensembles and as single instrumen...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

Ha, on Windows the OPEN button in the hub is now QUIT CUBASE. Wonder how many times I'm gonna quit on autopilot?

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...

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 ...

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...

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...
