PhonoBrainer

Well, my EZxperience was I bought in, with 5 or six libraries, and eventually got underwhelmed by the baked-in EZ sound, by which time I realized for about the same money I coulda and shoulda just bought into SD3, which I eventually did . . . YMMV of course, but now my EZ stuff just sits there collecting silicon dust, and I wasted money buying drums twice. The midi files that came with the EZ stuff will certainly work triggering SD3 but they are all like 2 bars long, much shorter than the 8 bar phrases SD3 gives you. So just a word to the fence sitters out there . . .

I can't release the name of my credit card until I've notified its next of kin . . .

Looks good but my studio is at best

$42.98 @ Audiodeluxe.com, plus I had 7 AudioDeluxeBucks, so 35. Not bad for this level of tool! . . . which is what they say when I gig . . .

I demoed this and like it, a great tool but the compression is beyond clean and clinical. It isn't meant to be a character compressor, but wow it's just so damn squeaky clean. I guess you put it on first, then muck up the signal with color later. Does something else do what this does, only with character? That would be interesting . . .

I tend to use it on sources that need a bit more low and mid presence. I wouldn't feature it on cymbals. I like how it thickens my nasally vocal! Great wet/dry blend. I usually run it at about 70%, anything higher starts to crush stuff. The downside might be CPU usage, it's not light, and you can't dial it back with any oversampling settings, there are none.

Tell me what you think because I can't use that thing enough, just love it.

Well, would you say the choices on offer all focus on mixing rock, or modern pop? Did you notice any that focus on mixing jazz, funk, or edm stuff? Or classical/soundtrack type stuff? Not to say there wouldn't be any overlap . . .

Ah, Bill. The remedy is simple. If you don't like the terms and conditions YouTube offers you, you are free to sashay off and create your own multi-billion dollar market-crushing video platform behemoth. Or, Vimeo, the ugly stepbrother they hide under the stairs. Or if you can dance and have the attention span of a microbe, TikTok.

Oh gol durn this all to heck. I've always wanted this one.

A nice freebie for you crackle addicts.

That would explain the cpu! Is this comparable in sound quality to omnisphere? Or do you buy in at the first price and then spend more for ad packs up the wazoo? I'll check the demo so I'm not a total ***** . . . just an initial question . . .

Yes, especially considering how incredibly dangerous it was to sample the round robins.

. . . resurrecting "Blind Platypus" just to say, take a breath, Larry! It's only Wed 11/18 !!! Pace yourself ! Hydrate! At this rate, will there be anything of Larry left by Dec 24th? Seriously, if you stroke out, about a thousand weekend warriors will be seriously and irreparably bummed . . . and 2020 is bad enough as it is!

Taloronte dark era or medieval 2? That would be nice.

. . . in that order.

I thought Fleer was a huge WUP fanboi. What happened?

https://www.waverunneraudio.com/shop/chanterelle-trumpet/ Looks like a no brainer, but I haven't bought it. Yet. Any thoughts? Seems realistic enough, some very good articulations, kind of a jazzy+medieval hybrid perhaps? A decent independent review is here:

A huuuuuuge public correction, and apology!!! The Tower Records pic I posted. Which I thought was labelled Sunset, is 100% the San Francisco store! I think! Welcome, Suzie Quatro ! Except I don't think this is her band, is it? It was a simpler time.

It is indeed Sunset

What's next, Tower Records?

Soothe is really good at pulling the crap out that you didn't know you put in. Highly recommended and very versatile tool. Great on mix bus, great as de-esser, great on icepick guitars . . . can be a bit CPU heavy on the high quality settings.

Lars, are you having a stroke? (of genius)

Well I only used it once, it said no dice, so it was kaput before I got there? Philosophically, it's my fault for wanting something for nothing . . .

I tried IRISBP and it says this deal ain't no more. It ain't November 30th yet. Hmmmphf!!!
