    Yep more snake oil please. I've especially appreciated when you've gone on a rant about something (e.g. including oversampling) and then later educated us and yourself by realising it wasn't as simple as it first appeared and digging deeper into the topic later by speaking to someone who knows that topic inside out.

    I'm interested on that video, my theory is that there is simply very few people with the skill necessary to transform scientific audio papers into real time code AND that isn't already hired with a good salary in some other industry programing FPGAS for the financial sector for example. Even in the area I rotated the most, that is videogames, most algorithms are is still also the same code from 10-15 years ago with rare exceptions from big studios (but still running those new techniques over "ancient" in-house game engines). But yeah, the real time part of the code is the issue in both industries.

    Ever since I bought Cubase. I really don't have a need for much else than the built in plug-ins. That said, different plug-ins emulate different circuitry and can shape the sound. Also, snake oil is a bad thing, why would a company want to have their plug-in labeled snake oil? I'm confused.

  • @WilliamAshleyOnline
    @WilliamAshleyOnline 10 месяцев назад +1

    I just d/l the trial to test this but I think it something that can filter, I like filters, good use of HF or other filters can do a lot to contour sounds especially with compression. Now I am not sure about the price point as I can't really determine what that might be worth to people or what this does that other filters do not will need to wait to try. I was suprised the d/l was 40mb for what looked like a fairly simple plugin. It looks sort of playful though that sort of Teenage Engineering gimmick feel to it. Some people like playful VSTs there have been a lot over the years, yesterday I d/l gingerbread vst for example for next christmas. Again mixing with core vsts can get "generic" or based on real hardware so this concept feels to me like a little treat for humor or to break the rigidity of streamline formulaic stuff. That said I am a hobbiest so really not sure how much experimentation happens with people who would pay for something like this. With so much freeware I have to use something a lot to consider paying for it as its not about accessing it is always about supporting something I think should be rewarded because I have gotten that use and enjoyment out of it. I will have to wait to pass a verdict on this plugin if I use it on stuff and my experience has me go back to it, vsts are a lot like paintbrushes you can never have to many but you can have ones you will rarely use and would rather borrow or rent than own if the are costly and seldom used. That said seems like a simple fun plugin. Perhaps someone can explain what this is best used for. Filters are fun though, they are great with automations also imo use of noise for shaping is an intermediate thing, I think a lot of begininers out there won't really understand how different types of noise can refine different sounds/instruments or how filtering can create space in a mix.

  • @JimhawthorneNet
    @JimhawthorneNet 10 месяцев назад +1

    Everything has NOT already been done. It seems that the Plugin I REALLY want is too hard to make (at least in a simple dedicated easy form). Give me a Plugin which can simply control the volume of each musical pitch (note) across all of the musical octaves individually (88 notes or volume controls). Have you ever listened to a recording of a live instrument (like guitar or piano) and said to yourself "...if only I could turn down that darned D-note being played in this passage of chords!". I would have it ready to go on every track of the song if it were available.

    • @JimhawthorneNet
      @JimhawthorneNet 10 месяцев назад

      Yup ... and that is only the beginning because then you should also be able to Tune it, Flange it, D-Buzz it, D-Resonate it with EQ, 88 channels-worth for each and every instrument that could benefit from it. We won't have perfect mixes until we have this. It would be as much of a game-changer as Auto-Tune was.@@WillyJunior

  • @theswedishmusicstudio
    @theswedishmusicstudio 10 месяцев назад

    I was actually thinking of how much i need an A/C plugin. But more in terms of the real deal, an update for dSonics Realphones and their car emulation. I love being able to not go out to the car, but i need to hear that the song can be enjoyed even with the a/c and road noise disturbing the audio. Just flicking a button in realphones makes sense. :) love checking my mixes there. Has improved my turnover rate drastically. Car, PA/Club and hifi settings is magic for dialing in the right bottom end.
    Snake oil… i’m splitted in this question. If you did it more in depth i would be thrilled. But I would much rather see ”shoot outs” between different gear on different sources. Do compressor A B or C work best on instrument X, and (most importantly) why you think it does. More on point education. Like ”i think comp C works best because of how it grabs the lows quickly” or something. And follow up with plugin doctor or analyzer to show us what it is you hear.

    Okay so you made an interesting comment that got me thinking. You said something along the lines of there are no new plugins. Everything has been done already. I may have gotten your exact verbiage wrong but I think I caught the idea. So my thought here is. What do you think of stuff like what oek sound is doing? They just got bloom released. It really seems like it’s doing some unique things. I mean, we can’t possibly call it now can we? There’s no way we are done with revolutionary development now. I believe we’ve still got a real long way to go before I we run out of new ideas. You know, since I know so much and all. Lololoool
