Pro Tools 10 – first run
Yesterday was the first chance I had to give Pro Tools 10 a serious run. While I need more time to give you my complete opinion on the entire package, I figured some of you might be interested in the first impressions.
REVIEW: Neyrinck V-Control Pro 1.2
A quick overview of V-Control Pro. When the iPad was first announced I knew what I wanted to see – kickass controller apps! Finding the best ways to control my music software has from time to time been an obsession of mine. Perhaps one of the most serious attempts to create a powerful controller app [...]
Look what just landed on my desk…
Look-y here, Komplete 8 Ultimate. Man, I’ve been waiting for this. I’ll give you an ongoing review of Komplete 8 Ultimate. It’s quite simply too much content to cover in one post.
What virtual instrument do you use for drums?
I get plenty of questions from readers and folks on forums about Pro Tools and plugins, and it’s cool, you can ask me anything. Today I received a question regarding drum virtual instruments.

Take it away MC! / stiff * * * Is there anything in the mixing world that raises more hackles than a discussion of reverb? Hardware vs. ITB, [...]
REVIEW: Elysia Alpha Compressor
Up until now few of us have had the chance to work with Elysia’s Alpha Compressor, it’s very expensive in its original hardware form. Thankfully Elysia has again teamed up with Brainworx to create a software version of it.
REVIEW: Flux Ircam Verb
When Flux made it public that they were working with Ircam I saw it as a match made in heaven. When it turned out that one of their products was a reverb I had high hopes that this would be the product that finally made me fully appreciate plugin reverbs.
REVIEW: Overloud SpringAge
We aren’t exactly flooded with spring reverb plugins, which is a damn shame because I love them. Overloud noticed the lack and released SpringAge not too long ago.
