The Sound Board

well done Geoff!

Been a bit since I went down the FZ warren, seems like a good day for it!

I never say +1, but I'll make an exception this time!

I'm so enjoying going through the old multitracks of classic songs, and its so obvious that musicians simply loaded patches on their keyboards and played them. We've oddly fetishised patch design and have an obsession for the pure re-creation of every last nuance... it feels kinda ass-backwards to ...

you're doing better than I - I spent some time with the update yesterday, had a blast, found myself grinning and noodling, and didn't make note of a single patch I enjoyed! There were a few!!

The video is really well done, and I think very interesting. I learned a little keyboard history!!

Neither of these is on my "must buy" list, I just don't have any ideas that would benefit. If the opportunity arose I'd grab them, even at full price (which to me seems ridiculously fair.)

sorta - I know the new one is a P5, I guess the thing I was trying to say is that the Softube emulations are all quite good, but the selling point for me was the ability to load them into Modular. For the 72 it was a no-brainer, I wasn't sure how well the 84 modules but thought it worth a try. They ...

Mr. Levin does a fine job regardless of the instrument in his hands. And it has more to do with those hands (and that mind) than the instrument itself. The Trillian Stick is fun, but, at least with the factory patches, it is not all that expressive. Now I gotta go find me a couple of Tony Levin play...

the only thing that piqued my curiousity to the point of purchasing Model 72 was the ability to incorporate it into their Modular. And that was so much fun I also bought their Model 84. You'd think I'd go for the Model 80. I think that I am well covered in Moog goodness by the GForce Software Minimo...

a couple related (??) notes: If you've been to a NAMM convention in LA in the last 30 years you've seen stick players, usually by the dozen. In 2000 you literally could not swing the proverbial cat without hitting one. And they were all pretty darned good. There was a magazine (sorta) in the late 19...

I could not be more excited about a library!! I have an Ironwood 10 string Stick, bought in in the late 80s, and I still stink, but it sounds so cool!

Can't wait to get my hands on it!!

I like Repro-5 a lot, and I still miss Pro-53. The rest sound interesting, but not like the Prophet 5 I used. Doesn't mean a thing really. I did download the trial version, I'd love it if they really got it spot on. Their other synths are cool, I like their mini and their Juno plugins, so this one c...

I too used the original (Prosoniq) at a friend's studio (it was Mac only at the time). It was (at that time) heads and shoulders above any other software vocoder. Knowing what Zynaptiq is capable of I have already downloaded the trial version, can't wait to get started. "Easy Button Vocoder&quo...

The demos are excellent, but then I've yet to purchase an SDX I didn't love. Some are more specialized than others, and they are expensive, but I imagine they are not cheap to create? I think I am in good shape with respect to SDX libraries, lately I find I am turning to Decades as my first try freq...

Obviously I have no idea what goes on behind closed doors<G>. My impression of Mike Patti is that he is sincere, and always looking for that next cool thing, at least in terms of the business. I think the $499 deal was made to attract attention to Musio, which a lot of us (myself included) didn't th...

I would have to agree - the trailer sounds beautiful, but not what I think of when I think of a chamber ensemble. I hope that reverb in the trailer is not baked in!

It is clear that at least someone at Waves has some common sense... notice it was not the CEO that announced the turn-around, that is odd! We can never know for certain, but I agree with Guy, it was an enormous error in judgement, and they are not likely to repeat it as long as the folks that revers...

Brilliant Guy, just perfect!

I'm with Jaap... in fact I started the process late last winter, I've been trying to slim down the DAW, plugin processors were the last category. I am on V14 across the board, so I have some breathing room. And there are only handful or two of plugins that I use regularly: The sad things is that I'v...

I haven't had time to dig in yet, but I recall the pain and suffering from previous years. You'd think that would be enough to prevent future downloads. You'd be wrong. I am starting to become more competent with Basehead, so I may just let it search the entire 40GB to see what will happen! I'll rep...

I think it is a little worse this year because the torrent is not working. In years past I've just started the torrent and gone about my business.

I did (finally) manage to download all 14 parts, and there are some real goodies in there!

I have the existing drama toolkits, and I LOVE the sounds. This new installment sounds just as glorious, and I may well pick it up, not sure yet if I will wait for a big sale. The workflow is fascinating, and I think pretty clever, except I have a difficult time controlling the libraries, my hands j...

Another giant gone!

One of the less pleasant parts of growing older is losing your mentors and heroes. No one tells you that when you are young.

I do understand the frustration, and I am sorry it happened to you.

Other than a polite email to Christian asking him if there is a connection I don't see any great solutions.

Yeah, that is completely demoralizing...

I believe while they were recorded in the same building but it was in two different rooms. That said I like the depth the knobs add to the library, not sure I have anything that can do that. I also at this time have no need for something that does that but I like the general sound. My bad - really ...

Here in the US my loyalty discou design nt and intro pricing bring it down to $289. On the one hand that is a pretty decent discount. On the next hand I think the design is pretty clever, two different sizes of the same orchestra could be really cool, and really useful. On the third hand, Homay's wa...
