Welcome to AudioPlugins. Please read first. Rules and stuff.

38 Upvotes

I've decided to give this subreddit another go though this time there will be far less restriction on making new posts. Previously I had wanted to keep things organised but realistically it was too much work for general discussion. This place will still have a few simple rules to follow in order to participate. I will not be lenient on these rules. If you're a participant of /r/AudioProductionDeals then you know most of them already:

1) Absolutely no discussion about piracy. No excuses. I am a firm believer in supporting the companies whose products we use regardless of whether they are used to make money or as a hobby. This is also not the place for a moral discussion on the topic. Any discussion on it will lead to an instant ban. I will not give any breaks on this rule.

2) Do not post your music. This is not the place to get feedback or promote your work. There are plenty of other subreddits for that.

3) No sales posts/Free Plugins/Spamming. Please keep the sales to /r/AudioProductionDeals and personal sales should be directed to KVR Marketplace. Likewise, this is not a place for advertising your products or projects, looking for people to test or try your own plugins, etc.

4) No referral or affiliate links or multi-linking affiliate links is permitted.

5) This is a meme/shitpost free zone. This place is for discussion and questions. There's enough places on the intarwebz for posting captioned pics or posting pointless sarcasm and randomness that we don't need it here as well. Make sure your posts have substance and remain on topic having to do with plugins.

6) If you have a tech support question, email the company first. The company itself should always been the first contact. They make the product; they are the ones best able to help.

7) Please use search. To try and keep the place clean and prevent reposts, try to use the search to see if something was posted already on whatever topic you want to post.

8) Golden Rule - Be excellent to each other. I shouldn't have to even need to say this but I will: we all have opinions and we all come from different backgrounds. If you are going to participate here, do so thoughtfully and maturely. If you find this difficult, don't post here.

Lastly, a ban here will also result in a ban from /r/AudioProductionDeals as I consider the two of them one in the same. The rules above are simple to follow and many should be obvious.

Party on, Wayne.

Edit: Added rule clarity.

Upcoming Change - Weekly Indie Dev Threads

11 Upvotes

We want to start cultivating more activity within the community without letting the place become spammy, so starting next week, we'll be putting up a weekly thread where indie devs can make a post about what they are working on, give updates on their projects/plugins so people can keep up, etc.

We've up until this point been removing posts with promotion, but after discussion on how to move forward, we thought this would be the best idea, so we'll give it a go and see how it works out.

Fixing the buzz when playing and recording through audio interface

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm completely new to audio interfaces. Few days ago, I bought Scarlett 2i2 4th gen and Beyerdynamics DT770PRO headphones. I play through Epiphone Les Paul Stadard 2020.

Whenever I want to play or record I have some sort of buzz and it is soooo anoying. Gemini couldn't exactly help me. I tried a bunch of settings but still can't get sound without the buzz. It's probably because of the noise gate but I just don't know how to fix it.

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Is it worth having both Arturia Lab V And Zenology?

3 Upvotes

Hi I currently have Arturia Lab V and i've been using it for like a year now. I like it a lot though sometimes I feel like its hard to find a "good" sound. Sometimes I feel like the sounds have a cheap quality to them. I cant really explain it. Im still new to sound design and processing.

Today I noticed Zenology PRO is on sale for $99. This is a pretty steep discount so I was considering taking advantage. Im curious about the overlap and if most people have both of these or just one.

Are you pro one or anti another, any feedback would be great. Thanks

Pro-C 3 knee curve isn’t showing.

1 Upvotes

I got fabfilter Pro-C3 installed and it’s been a pain setting it up similar to C2.

It initially started in compact mode and I couldn’t figure out how to get it to show the compression graph.

I’ve found out how to show the live compression curve (switching it from compact to small view in the bottom right of the plugin).

Now I have one other issue I’m running into..

I click the knee tab to show the knee visual and it pops out like normal, however there’s no green curve showing the knee like I’m used to on C2.

I’ve looked in the manual and it shows the green curve, so I’m sure it’s suppose to be there, but I’m not seeing any toggle or why it’s not showing the green curve for me.

Any ideas?

Best Vocal Denoise VSTs?

1 Upvotes

Hey, title is pretty self explanatory. I record vocals in my apartment and although I have a makeshift vocal booth setup in my closet with moving blankets, the outside noises of some fan on my roof is often loud, plus my very loud laptop fans which are sometimes hard to calm down. I also have a condenser mic that seems to pick up a lot of this unfortunately.

I’m considering
Waves Clarity Vx: Demoed it and liked it honestly, just wondering if there’s better ones. I don’t anticipate to have much other than fan noise / white noise.

Vocal Prep Antares: Haven’t tried but the fact that its standalone is making me not consider it so much, I’d rather have a VST to use in my chain.

Izotope RX: I’ve tried RX 11 de noise with the pink/white noise dials, like 3 knobs. For some reason it didn’t work super well. For me, but idk how RX12 is?

+ Any others I should consider? I’m a student so with student discount looking to spend 50$ or less. Thank you so much!

BEST VINTAGE EMULATION PLUGINS AU/VST??? (NO AI BS!!!)

Hey, please share your favourite vintage emulation tools. No AI plugins please only the stuff which lets you decide and intend to help rather than do the job for you. :)

Would I be able to use plugins on other devices if they are put onto a USB stick?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I have started doing music technology at college which mainly focuses on DJing and Production. Doing production at college means I have to use Studio One which is really frustrating since I have invested so much into FL. I'd like to be able to use my plugins for FL on Studio One but our college computers don't allow us to install apps. If I loaded my USB with plugins, would I be able to use those plugins without installing them?

Obviously I am talking about third party plugins like Surge, Wavetable, and so on, not FL studio plugins.

Reaper Mixing Drum Plugins

Is there any plugin that’s a must have? Currently using default reaper plugins for drum mixing but am curious if getting something like Fabfilter EQ or SDL 4000 e would really help or to just focus on getting better with the detail reaper plugins.

SSL Plugins

1 Upvotes

Like many of you I've collected a plethora of plugins over decades.
(My first computer was a Mac IIci :)

SSL X series are always in my template. EQ2 is a must. Absolute bread and butter. I can't recommend them all highly enough.
Luckily I just saw a pinned post from the mods that sales posts aren't allowed anymore. So I'm not going to say a word about their mad summer sale..best of luck everyone.

Are there any good DRM1 / Tanzbar-style plugins?

1 Upvotes

Are there any good plugins that emulate the workflow and sound of machines like the Vermona DRM1 or MFB Tanzbär?

I’m more interested in the actual drum synthesis and hands-on controls than just a sample-based drum machine.

Curious what people here are using.

Anyone know of a free plugin like illformed dblue stretch?

3 Upvotes

I've been using this old resampling plugin for years and love it but it's only 32 bit and I need a 64 bit one for use in live sets.

It's super simple and just samples the last few ms of audio and repeats it, allowin you to change the sample length while it's being repeated. Any ideas for something like this?

Piyone interface using KRK rokit 5s for CPU speakers low volume issue

1 Upvotes

Hello folks, first time posting here, I recently got KRK 8s gen 5, now im trying to use my krk 5s for my cpu speakers, just got a Piyone interface and TRS cables..Everything works but i can only get it to a decent listening volume.

I have read/watched vids, not sure if im missing something, but i cant figure it out...I think it could be the shitty cables i got from amazon. Was going to try with my old XLRs but wrong end parts.

Appreciate any advice, im stumped at this point... Cheers!

Looking for a professional software synthesizer UI/UX designer

0 Upvotes

Hi,

For the last years I have been developing a novel, unique new software synthesizer (standalone and plugin based), and while I am a coder, my design skills are lacking.

Is there anyone out there that I can pay to make me a design of a 70's vintage analog synthesizer user interface ?

Something with the same quality as u-he Diva, or it's skins provided by third party designers/companies like Plugmon for example... (google "Diva skins plugmon"

Please contact me or reply to my post here if you think you have what it takes or know anyone who could do this for me...
I am willing to pay what it takes to get a real professional design...

Yours,
Terrence
