Re: Berlin Solo Strings - Orchestral Tools

……on paper, this library should be it. With OT’s experience that is a statement that could be valid. However, to me it’s mainly the overall sound that has a feeling of samples rather than musicians. The repetitive vibrato seems to be the main reason why this sounds like samples. I will dust off my f ...

Wave based reverbs?

Possibly an interesting (new?) development for reverbs.......

Obviously the guy in the vid has his bias towards this new wave based reverb clear, and you may want to skip some parts as he can be a tad dramatic, but interesting nonetheless

Re: Sequoia ready?

Thanks GR Baumann, it’s a minor bummer in so far as it’s not a main issue, but I do use them sometimes. It’s that increasingly updates never seem to go as suggested. They are more complex as they develop, including the eco system it’s buit into. Let alone 3party software like Native Instruments that ...

Re: Sequoia ready?

Updated to Sequoia too. But not without bumps. Main remaining bump is Apple Logic’s loops & sounds. I moved it to a separate disk as Logic allows you to do from Logic’s menus, done that before the update to Sequoia. But now Logic thinks all sounds & loops need to be reinstalled….. And my startup’s di ...

Certainly much more than a rompler.
The drag and drop functionality on various ‘jobs’ makes it more user friendly

Arturia BF deals (till December 10th)

As title says....


Don't know the regular deals for new customers, but depending upon owned products ....mine is € 149,- for V collection X.
Looks attractive.

If you are interested in Arturia, have a look at your offers if you own some of their products I'd say.

Re: 48h Flash-sale (50-60% discounts) over at Klevgrand

I’m not a fan of sequenced shaker and tambourine tracks — no matter how many options you get for humanizing the performance, it always sounds wrong to me —, but if you don’t have such misgivings, Shaka is a good choice. Like all things Klevgrand, well thought-out, intelligently designed and solid so ...

Re: 48h Flash-sale (50-60% discounts) over at Klevgrand

Does anyone have experience with shaka, the shaker plugin?

Is it flexible enough, soundwise and in sufficiently sync with metronome ( not all rhythm based plugins work well when in a bigger project)

Well, Linos and Piet’s ‘walkthrough ‘ say it all.

Maxime Luft seems to have a neck for these kind of libs, although his violin didn’t do it for me. This horn will join my SSD and will live a happy life there.

Sounds interesting….but apart from various written info there’s no walkthrough yet.

At the end of the short teaser you hear a dynamic change…. ...

All true on all points. Personally I'd take all those limitations 100 fold to have phrases that actually sound natural and join up. But is there anything else out there I've missed?
