Post your favorite midi files run through spitfire/kontakt libraries, though, here's one with that embertone joshua bell violin i mentioned for the two main violin leads. It's pretty wonky in a lot of places, but for how little effort i put in, it sounds surprisingly good, only because austin wintory is a great composer.

Splinter posted:I think it's probably the DAW most similar to Ableton, and was even started by ex-Ableton devs. It has the arrangement & session views as well as the familiar bottom panel for stock devices. It also has a built in modular playground where you can build your own synths and effects, and any signal can be routed pretty much anywhere. Yeah and I would just say that more than anything else the modulation setup is incredibly well thought out and flexible, it really encourages me to sit down and just do sound design in a way no other DAW has before. It's not that it necessarily does anything Ableton can't do, it just does it in a way that engages me creatively and makes me want to spend more time with it. For the other bitwiggers here, someone on FB pointed out that JRRShop is running a blowout that includes a yearly upgrade plan and spectral suite at the same price as just a normal yearly upgrade plan. https://blowout.jrrshop.com/bitwig-studio-upgrade-spectral-suite That means the spectral suite is effectively free if you upgrade now. I did it and feel kinda dirty because I feel like it sends the wrong message to Bitwig, but I was going to buy my annual upgrade plan again soon anyway so I'll just sell out slightly I guess.

Have a issue with JRRshop, perhaps missing something but after paying was redirected to getmylicense.ca which sent me a link which asks for product and my name but does not accept anything I've tried for product. Can you remember what is needed here? edit: Not mentioned on the purchase page but just noticed the order details page mentions the purchase needs the license being manually created. Seems been a few changes since I last used JRRshop, need to login to view products and only purchase method for UK is paypal. Boody fucked around with this message at 09:36 on Oct 8, 2022 |

It took a while to receive any emails from jrrshop, first one said "This license needs to be manually generated. You will be contacted immediately when it becomes available.". What threw me was the post payment page didn't mention this but had a link to the getmylicense site.

Ah, good that you got it sorted! I'm really hoping they walk this stuff back and figure out how to make things right with the community, because a very tight and generally supportive community is now at each other's throats over it. Venus Theory and Benn Jordan just announced that they're suspending Bitwig videos until the company does something to make poo poo better, and I think that's the right move. At the very least I hope other youtubers can resist making spectral suite videos until the company admits they hosed up and does something about it. Also after playing with the new tools for about 48 hours my impression is that they're neat but I'm not sure they're unique enough or useful enough to justify the cost for someone for someone who was paying full price, and for whom that price was a significant expense. I've come up with usable sounds but mostly it's stuff that could have been done another way with a little more hassle. Still learning, though, so it's possible the killer application just hasn't occurred to me yet. Anyway, freq split and harmonic split seem the most fun for creative purposes, transient split seems most useful as just a utility for fine-tuning stuff, and I haven't actually found a particularly great application for loudness split yet.

Okay now Bitwig has acknowledged how badly they hosed up and will be including Spectral Suite in 4.4.

ProperCoochie posted:KV331 Audio gives its SynthMaster Player plugin away for free: 2,000 presets for nothing I can't speak to the player versions, but Synthmaster 1 and 2 are my favorite software synths that aren't trying to emulate hardware. They're powerful as hell with the ability to use pretty much anything to modulate pretty much anything else. They're definitely worth their sale prices.

I've been messing around with this program called midiguitar2. It turns your guitar audio into midi information that can control any other vst with out needing a hexaphonic pickup. It's some black magic voodoo that tracks amazingly well. A synth pad in the surge vst into Valhalla supermassive is instant bladerunner.

I've been meaning to try that out. Seems like a much more ideal solution that having to drop a lot more money on a hexaphonic MIDI pickup / receiver that then can only be installed on a single guitar. From the reviews I've seen it seems to do pretty much just as well as the hardware solutions in most situations, and those where it's not quite as good (heavily chorded playing) it's still adequate.

The demo is fully featured it just times out and you have to click a button to re-enable it. It takes a little futzing around with the ASIO settings and the noise gate function to get it playing nicely. My computer is probably underpowered for it but I can run a few vsts at a time before it starts having problems. If you have a more powerful system you can probably do a lot more at once.

I've never used any hexaphonic pickups so I can't really speak to a comparison between the 2 myself. I watched this video where this guy compares the software vs hardware. He gets pretty wild and incorporates a breath controller into it too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbtR2VBVp2E

I haven't really delved into this Boss SY-300 all that much yet, it may be really nice to compare them for myself. I don't know the significance of hex pickups here, Boss and Electro Sonix are just two companies that are making hardware guitar synths that don't require them.

Well check out Surge and that virtual modular setup that everybody's so crazy for then, they're both free also. Surge is incredible, a few of the leads are set up real nice for aftertouch too, which I'd never experienced until I got this MPK25 on ebay.

Jeherrin posted:This slaps. Picked up a bass AUi worth $200 for £35. It's definitely worth signing up for their newsletters. They run sales and coupon codes pretty frequently, and, while nothing they offer will make your songs sound up to $400 bucks better, their stuff is definitely worth $30 if you need something specific. 2nd coupon code: PMPKN2799 I picked up Needlepoint and LISA this time. Needlepoint vinyl sim is nice, but I got it for the saturation and punchy compressors. It already beefed up a synth lead for me. I haven't had time to crack into LISA, but it's impressive in its features, wildly complicated, and a bit of a resource hog, but it'll be a really nice bus EQ for me once I get into it.
