![]() ![]() See, that’s actually a bit more interesting. Sound Stacks will drive the development of new audio platform technologies aimed at improving productivity and performance for audio developers across the industry. From the press announcement:Īlongside these new additions, Soundwide welcomes the newly formed Sound Stacks, born from the minds of Cesare Ferrari and Julian Storer, the creator of the industry-standard open-source audio application framework JUCE. The big variable I think is often whether companies either create unwieldy, hard-to-manage hydras, and/or try to “downsize to greatness” – and kill the engineering teams that make the stuff users actually love.īut without judging this particular merger, I want to point to the bit I expect most folks missed. They can – synth maker Novation was all but saved by its integration into Focusrite, for one example, and has had a great run since and plenty of happy users. The problem is that acquisitions don’t necessarily lead to better products. WIth any merger or acquisition, there’s reason for some healthy skepticism. (Plugin Alliance is a kind of services + distribution for a set of other plugin makers.) Now to that, you can add a new name (the somewhat forgettable “Soundwide”) and the fresh acquisition of Brainworx and Plugin Alliance. So, back to the M+A, if you hadn’t been paying attention, Native Instruments and iZotope had already merged some time ago. But these tools are ubiquitous enough that they probably deserve some additional discussion. The Shadow Hills alone is invaluable.Īnd honestly, those are good enough that you could just grab those. Now these are actually fantastic – some of the nicer stuff they make, and great to have as a giveaway. bx_oberhausen their soft synth, based on the thing that starts with Oberh.bx_masterdesk an analog-style mastering desk and tools.Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor (which was used by Coldplay but – believe it or not you might still want to use it anyway ).Black Box Analog Design HG-2 tube processor (it’s great, though yeah, some UI/UX lolz – we all love this series, I know).since the search was by name of the file so if i need violin sfx. I tried a few apps that where targeting this sort of find prests and sounds and libraries but didnt work as i thought or where too usefull. but not sure if its usefull for music or loops. I also have a software called Metadigger for SFX (post sfx) and it has a tag browswer so i can type robot and a bunc of files come up even if the file name is hyrdralic movement1.wav since the metadata was added to say robot. similar for other synths but i do have one folder with all presets and in there divided per synth. for omni is the same and you do the dropdown menu user files and youll see the ones you want. U-he has its preset system so right click and put all the ones you like in there. ![]() i do use kontakt quickload and use the most useful ones.įor soundsets i use the synths i normally use and they pop up in the meny. but im afraid that in there its just by companyname or library name. Then a folder for orchestral libraries and another for other type of sample libraries. I have anything loops and individual samples into one folder and subcategorized per genre. And if I use a library a lot, I make a MIDI template for it. I prefer to load instruments within KK because the light guides work with most of them there, including instruments from other players than Kontakt. it's Kontakt only, and there are getting to be a lot of players. It's particularly useful for finding little freebies you've forgotten about. It takes time to set up Quickload, but after you do it, it is great. I also have categories for "pads" and "soundscapes," etc. ![]() I have a Quickload folder called "Rhythmic" so something like Signal can be there and also in a "Synth" category. So many libraries have different kinds of things within them. I like Quickload because you can put libraries in multiple categories. Tremendously useful to be able to audition presets without loading them, and to be able to search by category and have the parameters preset up to knobs. They are constantly adding more instruments and expansions. A company called Freelance Soundlabs offers NKS templates for things like Omnisphere and Falcon so I've bought a lot of them. ![]()
