JoeGBradford Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Aidan mentioned that earlier but no harm in raising again - Loopcloud is excellent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillmy Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Since I saw some people mention Transfuser 2 (a GREAT plugin btw with a big library of samples to work with), it is still on sale for $20.42 at VSTBuzz: https://vstbuzz.com/store/87-off-transfuser-2-by-air-music-tech?raf=ref9633843 Edited July 4, 2020 by Hillmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sander Verstraten Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 Trying to find how to put LoopCloud to good use. I just figured out there are some sample chopping presets in the player. Good fun to be had with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canopus Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Speaking of Tantra, I see that Plugin Alliance in their latest newsletter shortly mentions that Tantra 2 is coming in the next few months. Interesting. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Russ Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Plugins like AAS Strum GS2 are great because a couple of random notes on the keyboard can give you a chord progression you might not otherwise have come up with. EZ Keys as well. Contests, particularly remix contests, are also great because they force you to come up with ideas that are not obvious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristian Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) SongWish's reMIDI and Squaredheads' Nora are quite interesting "sequencer" VSTs, that basically let you plug in MIDI files and then allow you to "key-shift" that MIDI data in real time. Both have demo/trial versions available. Edited July 5, 2020 by Cristian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I miss most these days is having bandmates to bounce idea off of. No plugin necessary or full Kontakt either. ? In this vein, does anyone have links to a website for finding random collab projects? Preferably that you've used.

Personally, I've had the best luck getting to "know" like-minded people from forums I frequent and getting started that way. "Cold turkey" collab-type forums just don't seem to work - at least not for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferably that you've used. The ones I have done have all started out from this forum, or more accurately, the old version of this forum. I did join the songwriters forum years ago in search of more opportunities, but it seemed a bit cliquey there and there were too many picky forum rules for my liking so I never took to it. Personally, I'm not sure I could do it if I didn't have some kind of feel beforehand for what the other people are like.

sarine Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 If you have a iOS/iPadOS device, there's plenty fun to be had. If you're not apt with keyboard instruments and/or theory, ChordMaps2 is great. I can name more apps if anyone cares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mánibranðr Studios Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I have found a lot of inspiration playing around with Reaktor 6's Blocks platform. NI's Raum and Replika are pretty creative reverb and delay effects that I have found a lot of use for. If you need sounds, I have found that the Mosaic series by Heavyocity are pretty damn good. With the full version of Kontakt, you might find a lot to like from Karanyi's scoring instrument Continuo, Triple Spiral Audio's Gh'nuhan and SonuScore's Origins Bundle. I also used RA's Cinematrix to great effect with this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Russ Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I hope nobody downvotes me for saying I use Songsmith on occasion. I've found a lot of the Rigid libraries inspirational. They seem to find good ways to combine sounds and patterns. I was recently going through old projects and found a lot of them started with sequences from Absynth or Rapture.
