Re: Sample Modeling VIOLA

The way I see it- whether sampled, modeled or synthesized, there are ALWAYS compromises. Writing with virtual instruments is often about how you feel playing them, or at least that's true for me.

I think it can be made better, Piet. Far from perfect, but better.

Re: Black Friday - the essential guide

I really do love the quality of my UAD plugs, but the bonus for others is more of a need for me, as I have an aged DAW computer.

Re: Realitone - RealiDrums

Hardly touched the groove options, Guy, as it was earlier on without the grooves done , and I haven't yet gotten to dl and open the final product.

Re: Realitone - RealiDrums

I received an early release for comment and eventually an NFR, so I think I'm not going to comment specifically except to say that I liked the drum sounds enough to immediately start writing a "classic rock" track with the product, and in the course of finishing the track, I only had to go...

I'm a terrible violist, and it's been about 15 years since I've even owned one.

Re: Sample Modeling VIOLA

Now I've listened and watched. Here's the thing, Guy-I'm not so sure about the tone either, but I'll definitely give it a try, because as a player, I will be able to get a performance in one pass as seen on the video. Like most SM instruments, the other 25 controllers are fine tuning- the three that...

Re: Black Friday - the essential guide

I never upgraded from Albion 1 to Albion One. I assume that's not any part of this SF deal as I see nothing about upgrades?

Re: Black Friday - the essential guide

I'm also an AudioDeluxe customer and have been happy for the most part. Had one problem of incompatibility that took some time to resolve.I've heard very good things about JRRshop. The UADs are still my favorite plugs, though the ones I want (I'm still on UAD 1 so I'm limited) never seem to go on se...

Re: Lexicon Plugins 50% Off Ends Dec 1st

I like Valhalla Room. For a considerable amount more money, what do the Lex plugins bring to the table?

Ok, off the hype and having gone through the walkthrough-I wish the sounds were more interesting and less than 80% reverb.

Re: Native Instruments Symphony Series String Ensemble

Yay, a new Piet review! I vacillate between LASS, HS Gold and CS 2 for various purposes. I really can't justify the cost of Berlin, Mural, Sable, but I love the agility and small sections of LASS, the lush sound of CS2, the full and present sound of HS. Prices like the price of the new NI stuff make...

Re: Slate Digital Virtual Microphone System

Antares tried to go this route years ago. Occasionally, you could get some interesting results as long as you ignored what the models were supposed to be.
