just a warning... these things are very microphonic.
If you use them as distance mics, they are decent, even good imo. But on vocals, which is the main application, they can suffer in this department. If you lightly tap them, you'll hear ringing. First time I heard it on a guitar amp, I thought it was the acoustic guitars in the live room somehow being picked up.
Shame.
If you get one, I suggest distance micing as much as you can get away with.
Still no search function?
I went through a lot getting my libraries auth'd last time. I'm gonna hold off updating until I see some braver people make the jump.
My crossgrade from 8 on their site is $199.
Add RNBO + $299 on top.
I used this for a proof of concept project. If you aren't very familiar with Ableton, or aren't really quick at picking things up, I'd steer clear.
It can do a ton of stuff- some things you haven't imagined yet. But I consider the learning curve to be a bit high, as much as they've done a good job of making as simple as possible.
I'll likely use this with the signal flow going modern (for corrective) -> vintage (for creative) most of the time. It's hard not to compare Modern to FabFilter. Having dynamic bands there is nice.
I guess it can save us an insert point. Maybe it's more CPU efficient. Throwing MS processing in there. Is this why this exists?
I've long considered this Softube's worst. Unless you like your guitars to sound like whales dry humping in the backseat of a Daewoo in a dairy queen parking lot after hours.
I understand it. The thing that's annoying to me is that there should be a link showing only what's included in the sale, and it should show you what you already own.
For me...
180 for BG vocals. Sometimes leads with the mix down.
361 for everything else in need of pixie dust.
around 90% of the time.
Don't sleep on the comp in the 361. Surprisingly good for a one knob. Scribbles are basically for vanity.
