Re: Orchestral Tools: Travels In Sound sale
Did you know this? I didn't! Thank you. Honestly it sounds to me like a regular crossfade to me though, Useful for sure though. I'm still waiting for Sine to grow up. I rarely buy Sine instruments because it feels very basic and limited to me. Even the mixer feels like a rough version that will be ...

Re: Orchestral Tools: Travels In Sound sale
Looks pretty cool, As long as the samples mesh together well. I wish Kontakt had better looking controls.

Re: NI Kontakt 8 and Komplete 15
https://i.imgur.com/8Bot6fH.png Komplete 18 and Kontakt 8 are released on September 30. Kontakt 8 doesn't look like it is the ground-up rewrite I was looking for after the debacle of Kontakt 7, but it does appear to be substantially different and does host a new hybrid synth called Conflux - with ...

Re: Musio - latest stuff
I'm curious to see what happens. Even though I never got involved in Musio, I do own almost every Cinesamples orchestral library in Kontakt, and I really do like the samples, the players, instruments, and most of all the Sony Stage, which sounds to me like so many old films. I can't describe my ...

Re: ANWIDASOFT - SPATIO Hall
Too bad there’s no aax version, but I suppose at $25 they are keeping it simple. I would like to know how it compares to more expensive reverbs like vintage verb 😄, fabfilter R verb, and the Lexicon bundle. I could only use this through VE Pro which limits its application (If I remember it’s there 😂) ...

Re: Sonokinetic Orchestral Strings (with A/B divisi)
For all intensive purposes, it’s June. Perhaps Sono should stop tweeting posters that emphasis “SOON” and just get on with it until they are dropping it, or it at least has been delivered to NI for encoding. I’m happy to wait, just stop making injuries worse by providing concrete evidence of your ign ...

But if you own a Symphobia or buy another with Pandora it’s $100 off... not sure where the extra $20 off is coming from... Then Core is listed as $239 and those with another Symphobia (or buying one) is $50 o ...

You know, I am a huge Beatles fan, as well as some others, so you would think I would be the perfect target for these kind of things, but in the end, to me they are just freaking samples and if they get the job done with a little massaging, I don’t much care where they come from.

It all ends Wed. On sale for $65. Apparently their licensing contract with Abbey Road runs out Wed and sales have not been enough to renew. Too bad, some very good character uprights.

Re: NI to no longer allow registration of legacy products
This actually begins a limit (maybe 10 or 12 years?) to how long libraries will be supported. I’m not sure why I expected it to be longer (probably because I still have working hardware that’s 30+ years old) but it should be a new factor when buying libraries. Sad to think many of my “new” libraries ...

Re: NI Mysteria vocal instrument
Even moreso, since this can play through a scene and give you textures that are nowhere else, but they, like 8Dio and East West, seem to always price it at double or triple it’s market value, so when you get it at half off you think you got a deal. In reality this, Thrill, and Action Strikes are w ...

Re: CineBrass Sonore
Mike Barry made a very good post at VI-C to explain in more depth the recording techniques used here, and what they've learned down the years. It all sounds highly plausible to me, that the secret to good dynamics and legato is all in how its recorded, and there's only so much you can do in the ...

@Guy. Have you worked with that tonal balance thing on orchestral or even hybrid music? I’ve used O8 for mastering but never really used the plugins when mixing. On a more personal note.
