Re: Orchestral Tools: Modus by Jeff Russo

Again, heavily biased... but Modus is recorded at a slightly more dry studio. I've found the sound to react very well to additional reverb. I don't use a lot of Spitfire instruments, but from the little I know about them, I think Modus should blend fairly well. The instruments have their own charac...

Re: Orchestral Tools: Modus by Jeff Russo

These days, one of the key factors for me to consider, when deciding if I wish to purchase a new library, is if the library is inspirational. In addition, does it provide something new, something I might use and is it good value for the money? I haven't made a decision yet about this one, but it doe...

Re: Mastering The Mix / Bassroom

Been using Bassroom for 'pop' music almost from the time it was released and in most instances it does a great job. BUT one still has to use one's ears, and sometimes not using it is better. 😊

Re: Sonible / Smart Reverb

Piet, I concur that your reasons for not purchasing are totally valid. Like you, I do have a great number of reverbs, but what helped me decide this time was how well an instrument stood out in the mix after smart: reverb was applied...something that didn't seem to happen without a lot of tweaking i...

Re: Sonible / Smart Reverb

So, let's say you have a guitar, and a trumpet in a song, would you need to insert Smart Reverb on each instrument separately ? Since it will be analyzing each instrument, and setting the reverb to suit the source material (guitar/trumpet). What if you use it as a send effect ? What would it analyz...

Re: Spitfire Audio 'Symphonic Motions' Library Released

#1: No clicks or pops in latest versions of Cubase 10.5 or Logic Pro X
#2: Happens as you describe in Cubase 10.5x, but assigning a controller to Tightness does eliminate the 'problem'. The problem does not occur in Logic Pro X here.

OT, like Christian I use an EV RE-20 a lot and that pop filter fits it perfectly. Anyone know what that is? Not 100% sure, but it could be this one (see photo below):: https://reverb.com/item/5354625-bsw-re20pop-pop-filter-for-ev-re20-microphones This one is similar: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/...

I can feel myself getting worn down, there are nice textures and techniques in there. When does the sale end? If you own applica...

Re: Korg Collection 2 with updated GUIs

Many thanks for the information, Guy. It certainly simplified updating. I don’t use the M1 very much anymore, so it encouraged me to revisit it and recall that it can still be useful. The new interface is definitely an improvement.

Re: Sonuscore Origins Bundle

They won’t be used every day, but they will be useful and will work well when required. Very ‘clear’ sound on all instruments, and yes, using some for arpeggiated patterns is definitely worth considering. Some can just be played with good results....e.g. I found playing a simple pattern with my left...

Re: NI to no longer allow registration of legacy products

I think the confusion comes regarding "v2" as opposed to "volume 2". I also have four volumes of Chris Hein horns, but the one in my template is "Volume 2", not "version 2", which I assume means I'm using CHH volume 2, not CHH version 2. Larry, AFAIK, there i...
