Re: Sigmund 2 from D16 is (finally) out

I got Sigmund 1 when D16 accidentally gave it away for free for a day or so that time. I like it for preset surfing but the interface was a bit of a beautiful mess, IMO. And WOW is it a CPU hog for a delay plugin! How’s version 2 for CPU use? If it’s the same or better, I’ll probably spend the $19, ...

For me it just has to be the Modnetic by Surreal Machines...it doesn't look like a vintage tape delay but serously nothing else comes close !Screenshot 2024-02-12 at 11.26.19.png Then we have the most versatile of them all which is a pretty good tape delay ...

Re: Ableton Live 12

Since 11 was a bit of a performance hog relative to 10, I’m reluctant to upgrade blind again. I think I’ll leave it and see how it’s doing in a year or so.

I also find NE's naming and design highly off-putting. But their VSTs won me over in the end.

Re: Synplant 2 - Out now!

I've never managed to buy any Sonic Charge plugins because I think they're all just a bit too expensive. They always seem like one of those "if you priced it 30% lower you'd sell 100% more copies" companies - but I'm sure they know their business *shrug*

Valhalla Space Modulator is all the phaser you need, and it's free.

Re: Valhalla Delay bug?

You get this with some modes and eras if the feedback is higher. That track will have a constant level of noise tickling the bottom of the channel meter. Most modes are emulating machines with lots of self-noise. Try turning the feedback right down and seeing if that makes it go away.

Re: Any one else tired of the excessive compressor pumping on Lo-Fi tracks

Music is just sounds doing rhythmical things, guys. You seem to be keeping a list of right and wrong rhythmical things. Strong "old man shakes fist at cloud" vibes in this thread. Feeling that a sound is overused is one thing, but I repeatedly come across this sentiment that pumping is just misuse o...

As a Subharmonicon owner, I always enjoy devices that decouple the note sequence from the gate/pulse sequence. There are some fun M4L devices in that area - glad to see this for Reason!

I, for one, welcome the emergence of one giant music tech company whose thousands of products are quickly streamlined into Bluetooth speakers with the Moog logo on and an AI Trap Hats subscription service. What an exciting time.

I was annoyed with myself that I didn't get this before it disappeared, although the envelope designers in Sweeper etc took the edge off - in a RRP context it would/will be a brilliant tool. Thanks to the devs for this!

Re: Upgrading to a Macbook Pro

I think 16GB will be fine. I think 8GB is a foolish amount, with any kind of future proofing in mind, and I don't think Apple should offer it. I'll probably go for 32GB when I eventually try a Mac. I think I'd be fine with 16GB, but I'm used to having 32GB and I might suddenly get into making videos...

There was an early software synth back around 2000, can’t remember the name. But it had a simple feature I wish more softsynths had. And that was a list of modules and an unlimited (as far as I ever found) number/combination of modules. So you could build a 10 oscillator synth, or have 12 LFOs and ...
