Hidden Symmetry

Thanks Bjorn. My music isn't for everyone, this track in particular so I appreciate your comment. Thanks David. It depends on the track, on this one the orchestra was written first. I sent the drummer a text file with the form & meter changes. Made a melody/ chord chart for the sax player & told him to play as inspired in any open sections. Other guitar & synth solos were ad-libbed except that unison line. This was made during the dial up days, took forever to exchange files!

Today I tried the latest version of CbB using an older symphonic/ jazz project. Deleted all the plugins & remixed from scratch. An older collab made with mp3s , 16b files so its lo-fi. CbB worked great overall, but did have a few crashes, not sure why. Maybe cause the project is older. Be safe + Go Well...

Thanks all, appreciate your feedback & comments.

From what I use, there may be more... Metaplugin (v3.4.7) NYCompressor (v2.2.6) Plugindoctor (v1.4.2) MagicDeathEye (v1.1.1) https://ddmf.eu/

Aquarius 2.5.018 run Aquarius to update..

Don't forget marketing. The 'free library' incitement is getting a usable lite demo (which is rare for orch. libraries so a smart move by them, similar to vsl's Big Bang freebie) By doing the survey they get your email plus possibly future sales.

Just installed.. The best think I like about this is the player, logical & easy to set up (although it would be nice load instances a la Kontakt instead of individual.) Wish the room/ reverb could be adjusted lower. Some arts, esp horns & winds sounds unnatural. There's also vol. level inconsistencies between arts (maybe because this is the light version?) I also notice when the dyn. level is @ 100 % when selecting new presets w/o automation on the track. Should be 0 (unless there's an option somewhere in the player I'm mot finding) Loaded all instruments & briefly used it, seems light on resources which is always nice. ( basic presets & no mics of course) For a free light version / demo this could certainly be used for writing & in combination with other libraries. It has some nice sounds. Even $49.00 isn't a bad price for students or those looking for a first time orch. purchase library.

updated..run Aquarius L001 - 04 May 2020 48kHz HMF phase issue fix, echo noise fix.

updated..run Aquarius K010 - 21 May 2020 PINK4EQ Custom 9 Pre, PINK42412 Pre, PINK47236 Pre fixed.

I prefer this mix with the vocals front & center. I can understand them easier now too. Again this is on laptop.

A plug-in that sends audio from your host (DAW) to any Toontrack product that supports it. A friend of mine who has it said to try importing audio into EzBass, you can do some cool things with it.

Looking forward to trying this out. I have a feeling their servers will be slammed!

This looks useful. I do similar things using Melodyne but this might be easier?

Taupe is good too (the eq is the real star on that plugin) but I prefer R2R / TB+( CDS in N4) followed by CDS's VTM-M2 vst in most cases. As a general rule N4 has the better quality ( but requires separate instances) while the Acqua models offer easier workflow. That's the trade off, both are excellent. I still like using ToneBoosters Reelbus for some things too.

Great product if you're looking for this effect. I reach for it more even over Acustica's TB+ / R2R which is the top Tape plugin in the Acustica world.

Good to know, I always like to demo VI's if possible. By that time any bugs should be ironed out too.

Yeah, I think you're right..It's been a while

The Flanger as well.

Thanks, l Thanks for the review. I'll pass, you just saved me a few bucks.

Thanks Wookiee, I used either SD or AD for the sketch drum track. Yes, lots of tracks & dense, need to re-track & trim the fat. Yesterday I removed all the plugins remixed from scratch trying out demos in one session. For now it's going back to the archives as I get back to my current projects. Thanks Douglas, I'd like to replace it with an actual drummer. Problem then is everything needs to re-done from scratch. I'm more interested in working on current projects but it was a nice diversion. We'll see, time is always the factor...

Ah, I get what you were going for now. Again, nice tune.

Enjoyed the tune. I love bassoon, a difficult instrument to master. I had a friend who became quite accomplished & remember her showing me how to make double reeds by hand. The sound always reminds me of her, glad you decided to use it. (Check out bass clarinets too, you may enjoy writing with that instrument as well!)

Enjoyed it Wookiee . Nice feel, textures & Floydish to my ears.

Again nice work Steve. I get the White album vibe.
