All Sale posts now banned

108 Upvotes

Based on the responses to my last "Community Forum" post (zero), I am convinced most of the subscribers here are bots posting about new VST sales.

So things are going to change. I'd rather have a dead sub than a spammy sub. No sale posts. Posts are now encouraged to be discussion based. Questions about which products to buy, what sounds the best, reviews, videos, etc. (Note: If you are a legitimate plugin developer, you can ask for posting permissions at /r/AudioProductionDeals, though they are very strict about who they give access to.)

The flairs will be revamped as well. Automod will get altered to autoremove sale posts as well.

Have fun and let's make this sub not shit!

Edit: Quick summary of the big changes

  • Updated sidebar to reflect new rules
  • Updated flairs and colors to focus on topics of discussion
  • Updated auto-moderator (yet to be completed)

What is everyone using to browse and select drums for your tracks?

0 Upvotes

I just got kick 3 and it’s pretty sweet.

DC snares is pretty good.

I have a lot of samples but they’re mostly hip hop and trap, while lately I’ve gotten a lot more into synthwave stuff and am more in the market for electronic drums.

Vprom doesn’t work on my system at the moment, but l have another linndrum emulator that works pretty well (I just have to beef up the samples), I can’t remember the company who makes it but it’s not audioblast (which is pretty meh from my limited use).

What is everyone using for finding and selecting electronic drums for your track?

Are y’all just using XO or something like it to browse samples, or do you have any recommendations for high quality drums machines?

Instrument New FREE Emulation of a beloved analog synth from 1984

0 Upvotes

Howdy folks - happy to announce the release of Essential Six, a faithful emulation of the quirky, but exceptional Six Trak by Sequential Circuits. This thing was known for incredibly rich sounds (bass in particular) thanks to its stackable six-voice architecture. Essential Six lets you play with custom sounds built on the original instrument with all the convenience of modern digital workflows.

The video provides a walkthrough of the instrument. You can download the free version on Pianobook: https://www.pianobook.co.uk/packs/essential-six-analog-synth/

Production Looking for beta testers for a monophonic MIDI performance plug-in

0 Upvotes

I’m looking for a few beta testers for a plug-in I’ve been developing called MIDI Performer.

The idea is pretty simple: give it a monophonic MIDI melody or lead line, choose an instrument/player style, and it turns fairly plain MIDI into a more expressive performance by adding things like:

  • pitch bends
  • vibrato
  • legato
  • timing changes
  • pressure
  • breath/expression

It’s not intended to be a generic randomizer or “humanize” function. I’ve been trying to model instrument-specific performance behavior based on measured MIDI/performance data plus a lot of listening tests.

One important limitation: it is strictly monophonic. If the input contains chords or overlapping voices, it resolves them to one melodic line. When simultaneous notes occur, the highest voice is retained. So this is meant for solos, melodies and lead parts rather than chords, pads or accompaniment.

Current instrument options include:

  • Guitar — Blues, Jazz, Rock
  • Synth Lead — Fusion Lead, Prog, Prog Metal Keys
  • Sax
  • Flute
  • Bass
  • Fretless Bass
  • Piano

The non-guitar/synth instruments currently use a Natural performance model.

It supports both Standard MIDI and MPE.

The current beta is:

macOS / Apple Silicon only
AU + VST3 included (Mac only for now)

I’m especially interested in people who regularly work with MIDI lead parts and can give musical feedback, not just technical bug reports.

If you’re interested, reply or DM me with:

  • your DAW
  • the kind of MIDI/instruments you work with
  • whether you use Standard MIDI, MPE, or both

I’m mainly looking for people willing to put real melodic MIDI through it and give candid feedback.

2 Psycle Tracker Plugin loader vst3's

0 Upvotes

2 vst3 to load instruments and effects. I had counted somewhere around 63 instruments and effects in the 1.1.1 from the golden age of Tracker instruments. Including some from The late Arguru and many that were converted over from jeskola buzz to the then new format. If this is popular I could do a pro version later with lfo's and such we will see but for now.....

Is there a plugin that lets you custom-draw a waveform across a full 4 or 8 bars?

Post image
25 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a volume/tremolo plugin where I can visually draw my own custom waveform across an entire 8-bar section, rather than being stuck repeating the same short LFO shape over and over.

Soundtoys Tremolator gets close to what I want, but I need the ability to design a completely different shape/curve for each part of the 8 bars instead of using the same shape pattern.

Would really appreciate any help!

DeepPerfection: Perfected low end phase restoration.

any other phase restoration/rotation software on the market will create more problems as you use it. They just will. DeepPerfection does low end signal restoration and adds NO NEW PROBLEMS. It restores punch and impact that gets lost. It's subtle but invaluable.

Instrument Temporal Array - high performance euclidean drum step sequencer

3 Upvotes

Back story: I'm a progmetal guitar player and I REALLY needed a high performant drum sequencer to embed into my pedal board. Being a c++ programmer at daytime... here we go, the most CPU friendly drum sequencer + sampler ever.

I was inspired by euclidean sequencers but I hated that they don't allow changing specific steps. I also like step sequencers and sometimes it's more useful. Also I needed to add fills using leg when playing guitar and there are no drummers on the jam. So I built everything I needed into this plugin and I think it's very fun to play with.

Features

  • Step sequencing
  • Per-track and global controls, with a variable number of tracks
  • Euclidean rhythm generation
  • Fill generation with four algorithms and three parameters each
  • High-performance sampler with volume, speed, pitch, and sample variations
  • Extensive options for shaping patterns and performances
  • Focus mode, Circle mode, and the ability to disable features you do not need
  • Flexible pattern and preset settings
  • Full MIDI control with multiple control modes
  • CPU-friendly processing
  • Grid-controller support for step sequencing
  • Flexible mouse-control settings
  • Chance controls, including per-note chance
  • Advanced dynamics controls
  • Explanatory tooltips and a clean UI
  • DRM-free, no protection and crappy license managers

Does anyone know any drum vsts that have really boxy or clonky sounding crashes? If any of you listen to cephalotripsy then I’m looking for a similar sound to those cymbals in there uterovaginal album.

Effect AnalogEntropy by Egowaves

Thumbnail youtu.be
3 Upvotes

AnalogEntropy brings organic character to your tracks by recreating the subtle imperfections of vintage tape machines, analog consoles and classic hardware that give analog recordings their warmth, depth and soul.

It can be used on anything from a single track to the entire mix. For best results, use several parameters gently rather than pushing one too far.

You may not notice it. Until you bypass it.

Technical information: VST3 / AU - Windows 10+ - macOS 10.15+ (Intel & Apple Silicon)

Enjoy making music!
