Happy New Year all. I'm celebrating by finally installing VEP 7 (upgrade from 5) that I bought on back on black friday, with a view to emulating Guy's disabled VEP template. Will belatedly also install CB10 (from 8.5) in the coming days and generally have a bit of a clean-out / upgrade of my studio ...

It’s been so long-what happens when you have machine authorization and you switch machines? I don't know for sure (all mine are on the dongle) but I would assume you need a dongle at that point. You presumably would transfer to the dongle and then subsequently transfer from the dongle to the new m ...

This reads to me as if not much has changed Guy? I think they may be just highlighting that the iLOK system can now authorize to the machine, if desired. I had assumed all iLok products were automatically on this system now - but I guess, reading this, that it's an option / different license fee for ...

So I'm just sat watching/listening through Pauls overview whilst I'm cleaning the studio. I think it sounds absolutely fantastic. I'm also very intrigued to hear the legato specific walkthrough... but... (given that when the product was announced I was rolling my eyes so far back in my head I nearly ...

Absolutely agree with that Tanuj. I filled in the Spitfire questionaire a couple of weeks back and said exactly the same. In terms of innovation I've long viewed Spitfire as amongst the best of the 2nd tier, because of their highly traditional approach. Sample modeling, embertone, audiobro and chris ...

From what little I know of it, I believe that's a really great course! I have an old friend who did it way back in '97 who went on to forge a stellar career as an orchestral arranger.

ah - my bad. No nothing on FB about a release, but ironically there was a post yesterday about a screening in London last night. It may be that they're trying do get some screenings/festivals in before a public release? I expect they'll get back to your email but if you want to be a bit more direct ...

I went to the FB page - they had a link to a youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl2V8x ... nw7fOOCyHE

These look absolutely fantastic, well done! I'll pick them up only when I actually need them because I'm juggling so many things right now - but I'm sure to need the bluegrass fiddle at some point in the coming months for sure.

ha!! Coincidence I'm sure...

Aha! Thanks Thomas - that does answer a big part my question! From what you're saying the loudness requirements for streaming services are still typically well above those for broadcasters (8 to 10db louder!) I don't (and haven't) delivered songs to spotify or other streaming services - so there's ...

Broadcast really Guy - hence why I quoted that particular bit of Heisenberg's post (again below...) From a strictly utilitarian point of view this app is remarkable. You need to get your output ready for TV broadcast specs, -23 LUFS, and you are there in a couple of minutes even if your stuff is all ...

Hi Thomas, Thanks for your input and I hope I don't sound ungrateful in my response, but to clarify, I'm not confused about the meanings - I've delivered many mixes to broadcasters (BBC/SKY etc) in LUFS, and before loudness standards came along many more at PPM6/-10dbFS. No problems with QC. Prior ...

Thanks Guy,

So, do you both (Guy and Andrew) use peak limiting (at something other than -1dbfs) on stereo mixes that you're delivering to -23 LUFS?

From a strictly utilitarian point of view this app is remarkable. You need to get your output ready for TV broadcast specs, -23 LUFS, and you are there in a couple of minutes even if your stuff is all over the place with dynamics across the frequency band. I have tools for this in my DAW that allow ...
