Winter NAMM 2012 News
The FATSO was essentially designed to integrate frequencies in a musical manner and provide some foolproof vintage sounding compression. Gener- ally, it is difficult to make the unit sound unnatural due to its vintage topology. FATSO provides four types of processing. Same holds true for the software version. They are Harmonic Geration and SoftC...
This is one of my favorite, if not my favorite EQ plug-in. Especially on guitars. Now the only difference between this and the hardware is that the software version of course doesn't emulate what happens when you crank a real 1073 and you get all the sonic gooeyness on your signal. But, with a little warming up of the signal before it will have ...
While maybe not the most realistic sounding or most in depth reverb plug-in, for being free, I've got nothing negative to say about the this freeware. It's incredibly easy to use, and users of all types should be able to catch on quickly here.
I've had the Digisign AIR Ensemble for a 2 years. I love the sound this produces when I am looking for a leslie type sound or for any type of chorus or vibrato application. It is amazingly easy to use as there are only six preset sounds on it that can't be manipulated with any further parameters. This is both a good and a bad thing. It is good b...
I've been using the Avid Real tape delay plugin for about a year. Avid plug-ins have been somewhat new to me, but in the short time I have been using them, I have been thoroughly impressed. The Avid Real tape delay plug is one of their best plug-ins. It is easy to manipulate and you can get an array of delay sounds from it. The tap tempo and BPM...
I've been using the SSL X EQ about a year and in that time it has become one of my favorite EQ plug-ins because of the high sound quality and the ease of use. The sound is clean and it won't color your tone beyond what you set it to do. This is definitely better sounding and more versatile than Digidesign EQ III, but of course will cost you much...
I've been using the Studio Devil Virtual amp simulator for about six months. I have found it to be a useful tool not only for guitars but for all types of instruments. Since it has so many parameters, it is versatile and that makes it capable of a number of different uses. The price of this can't be beat, as I bought it in the Project Studio LE...
I've had the Digidesign Impact for about 11 months and it has become an integral part of my plug-in collection. I love the way it sounds on electric guitars and electric keyboards. It makes for a thicker sound and adds a nice crunch to guitars. It is also extremely easy to use as it only has 3 parameters, making for a simple layout that is easy...
I've had it for about a year now and it is the only reverb plug-in that I use - its that good. Not only is it really easy to get a nice sound from it, but the controls are really in depth and useful. I've used a couple of reverb plug-ins in the past and this one trumps them all. While I haven't done this, I believe that you can download extra p...
The plug-in pretty much functions...AND sounds like the hardware box. A fun plug for guitar...and even more fun for Dub delay stuff.
