I've used that GVST delay in several commercial projects. Its a nice pack, sort of like the mda pack with better skinning, but it doesnt have a signal/tone generator which sucks.

Its a great way to test monitors and to pinpoint possible acoustic issues in your enviroment. if when you play music you hear something buzzing or shaking/rattling, you can use the sinewave thing in mda to figure out at which frequency resonates, and since theres only that one sine making noise it gets a little easier to figure out where it is. not something that will always be usefull I admit, but I have needed it on more than one occasion.

Ohmicide is crazy as hell. Completely nuts.

This however http://www.soundtoys.com/product/Decapitator is now my go to crank dial make angry effect.

D16 Decimort has taken over bit fuckerupper duties as well.

Will have to look into StereoTool however.

I have found none better for severely loving up both samples and generated waveforms. (Or both, together)

It singlehandedly transformed me from a presetwhore to a sound designer!

Generous demo as well, give it a go.

edit: Dont be fooled by the soundlibrary - it can do so much more than traditional Romplers.

I bought U-He Diva!

Have used it in a few releases already, still trying to figure it out somewhat. Holy poo poo does it ever eat CPU!

It does sound very very nice though - it can be both very juno'ish or moog'ish. Will report back in a few weeks when I've learned it a little better.

So I've been using Diva for about a month now, and it has infiltrated all my current projects - some with as many as 8 instances; running fine and dandy on my aging E8500 in cubase. I dont use the divine setting, but that gets done in offline rendering anyway automatically (if you specify)

Very glad I picked this up, and it is quickly becoming my #1 workhorse. This combined with my nebula addiction; I have all the emulated analog mojo I need!

Variable. If you read my post, theres that end - on the other; there are single patches that kill my CPU instantly in divine mode.

I dont really give a gently caress all of my output goes to audiotracks as soon as possible

My copy of it from the beta period still works fine. If I understood synths better Diva would definitely be my next purchase.



The full version does come with a very healthy preset collection. Among these, a large bank of classic jupiter and juno sounds.

The demo yes. I believe I uninstalled it after around 15 minutes. I really saw no reason to keep it, or buy it for that matter.

It was more of a "I already have things that does this better" kind of thing for me. And it wasnt fun to use, which is somewhat important.

But yes, definitely narrow down, its a good idea. Once I get a new interface I'm considering a Blofeld, and I think I'll be set for a good while as well.

Mine doesnt see much use these days, but I did record pretty much non stop for 3 weeks when i first got it - built up a decent library of sounds.

I'm leaning heavily on this lately. Its fantastic for getting rid of redundant high/low frequencies and for gainstaging your poo poo.

It also does a pretty nice job at smooth distortion. If Decapacitator feels like a meat axe sometimes, this would be the butterknife!

edit: Also the price is most definitively right.

edit2: the cpuload is something from which dreams are made. Used on every track? Hardly a dent.

there's really no reason not to have it.

One reason would be streamlining your plugin collection. Amassing large quantities will eventually get counter-productive in a fairly major way.

I really would pay the money for that one but alas I' m a Pro Tooler and they don't make an RTAS version. Can get a "RTAS up to your rear end" thread?

What about VCC? http://www.slatedigital.com/vcc.php

Its abit pricier for SURE, but atleast you have the option, and the folks over at gearslutz seem to be falling over themselves to praise this (and other slate items)


edit: Theres also this but I frankly find it HILARIOUSLY overpriced and more than a little outdated when you consider recent developments from slate and Acustica Audio's Nebula etc...

Discord3 from audiodamage should be able to do that. Its a delay+pitchshift plugin but you may be able to disable the delay, to do what you want. It definitely has independent L/R pitch shift...

Well... It works. I dont understand why you're complaining. The Glue went through exactly the same process - as did many others. Not only are they paying for a beta, they are actually helping him hunt down bugs. Imagine that.

edit: Did some research, the framework as you see is up, running and stable. As the beta is seeded he is busy building new filtermodels and adding them on the fly. Next up I believe is the SH-101 filter.

I've used it almost exclusively for 6 months now or so - and it is BY FAR the best instrument purchase I have ever done. It is splattered all over my tracks.

But I must say I find it strange you seem overwhelmed by it. Me an my producer friends always say we love it because a) it sounds better than anything else for what it does and b) the UI is simple and clear.

I saw that newsitem and was very excited as well.

Synthedit is awesome and you're awesome for building stuff with it.

Paid beta audio software is stupid as hell. It's not like there aren't a million other options that are just as good for the same price or less. Also they're finished and stable. When a recent patch note is 'fixed multiple instances causing crash', it doesn't inspire confidence. Actual tools need to work 100% of the time no questions asked. I'd rather use stock DAW plugins that I know are going to work than risk the vibe of a session by using something that's untested. You can't get vibe back.

It depends on how you use your rig and if people other than you depend on its stability, but why not either just buy something else that's complete or just wait?

Also, they integrated 'the glue' into Live. Ugh. It doesn't sound ANYTHING like a G or E series and it's grainy as heck. Please do not use it. Thanks.

Artifacts? really? Did you compare the normal version with the same material? How hard are you hitting it? To me it feels sketchy beyond -4-5 so I try to deploy a few of them doing different things on my drumbus. I will say that its not seen much use since the big breakthroughs in nebula compression in the last 6 months.

Is this thread ready for Nebula realtalk??

Yeah I've never gotten that to work (no makeup) - I know its supposedly THE WAY to do it, but it could be like you said. Hard to do with ITB. I'll experiment some more with the nebula things though. They add a fair amount of saturation. this has alot of promise. Fat as all hell.

Suppose it could depend on the material, what you want from it.
