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. While the question was very specific (the best kind of questions!) I thought I would share my general opinion on drums and [...]
Spotlight on limiters coming – what do you like to see?
I’m about to do a little personal shootout on plug-in limiters mostly to challenge my current choice. I will of course share my findings with you. Is there any particular plug-in you would like to see featured? So far I’ve thought about Flux Pure Limiter, McDSP Retro Limiter and ML4000, Sonnox Oxford Limiter and maybe [...]
Future kill-offs
I will continue to get rid of more and more plug-ins. Here’s what I’ve been thinking.
Five plug-in developers you should check out and why
It’s easy to get lost in the jungle of plug-ins, and if you don’t know where to look it might take ages to find that killer compressor you’re looking for. Here are some companies that make killer products in my opinion.
Elimination of compressors
After piling up on too many compressors once again, I decided to finally pick my poison so to speak. This is not the type of review where all contenders will get my recommendation. We’re doing this Highlander style, there can be only one. Maybe two. Three is a failure. Minimalism is my diet.
Elimination of EQ’s
I have a lot of EQ’s, and way more have passed my plugin folder. I decided my plug-in folder had way too many in it so I… added even more! Why? Just to decide which not to keep. Follow me as I kick most of them to the unused folder.
SPOTLIGHT: Ohm Force plug-ins – part 1
Time for another Spotlight. This time it’s on the Ohm Force plug-ins. I’ll try to cover them all, besides Ohmicide which I reviewed when it was first released. If you dig them be sure to join in on the group buy before it’s too late! You’re already guaranteed 53% off and it can very well [...]
SPOTLIGHT: Samplers
Samplers have been raining down on my desk recently so I think it’s only fair that we do a comparison of these instrument killers.
SPOTLIGHT: Toontrack EZXs
Celebrating the arrival of the latest two EZX kits – Claustrophobic and Twisted – I decided to run a Spotlight special on the three first EZXs. Here it is, Drumkit From Hell, Vintage Rock and Latin Percussion, that should be something for everyone, right?
SPOTLIGHT: EQs – Conclusion
Now that we have featured fourteen EQs totally in our series of Spotlights on EQs, as well as reviewed two in conjunction with these Spotlights, I think we should wrap this baby up with sort of an “ultimate conclusion”. There are of course many more EQs out there, but we can’t run Spotlight on EQs [...]
