Re: UAD Spark - no hardware, but…

Looks good.

Now to keep the credit card in the pocket and not give in to GAS.

Me talking to myself.
No I don't need another reverb. No I don't need another EQ even though it is an emulation of the Pultec EQ I have wanted. No I certainly dont need another compressor.

I wouldn’t worry too much about TC’s ownership. (Is it Behringer or is it MusicTribe? Or is that the same thing? I never can tell.) .

Hey Piet - Music Tribe was formally Music Group, the parent company of Behringer..... chaired by Uli Behringer. So yeah, it is Behringer.

I like the sound of these - would love to have heard more of softer dynamics.

Did anyone else start singing Chim Chim Cher-ee during Tech Demo 2? (It is a contrafact)

Yeah the trailer is more than a bit kitsch, the Blade Runner font got me.

It will be interesting to have a deep dive in to it. I'll download it on the day of release and then play with it the next night.

Kundrus and Schneider involved in the development. Interested to see how OPUS compares to Play and Kontakt player. I will probably risk being an early adopter.

Impressive.

The double time lines in 'State of the Art', chromatic runs in other demos caught my attention. The inflections, scoops, smears work very well.

Note from Facebook comments:

- upgrade path will be available.

Unexpected from Eastwest - Doug seems to have gone back on his statement of not recording orchestra libraries. I'll be interested to see what the additional content is and how orchestrator is implemented.
