Big Tick Audio Software

The Rhino 2 from Big Tick audio Software company is a software vst plug in that I was using a few years ago, I think I was using it from 2006 to 2008 or around that time. I had it installed on a old dell laptop that I was using at the time. But since that computer crashed, I havent took the time in all these years to reinstall Rhino 2 back onto any of my new systems. I do think its worthy of still being used, I just havent remembered to do it with all the other vst’s that I am currently in love it . But from that time period I used Rhino 2 so many times and I remember how easy it was to actually use and how much I loved the fact that you can edit the parameters of the sounds so quick and easy. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE Using this software was a breeze and so was installing it, I remember it only took a few minutes to install. It really reminds me a lot of Sytrus from Image line except the fact that I think Rhino 2 is a lot easier to edit your sounds and save them as presets to use them at a later time. Rhino 2 was the first Big Tick Audio Vst that I have use (at the time) so when purchasing it I was a little skeptical because I have never heard of the company before (during 2006 to 2008). But I am well informed of them now and will continue to buy stuff from them at this point. OVERALL OPINION Overall, I remember how good the software was. Actually writing this review makes me want to go back and start using it. The sounds selection on this vst was great, maybe I can pull it back out and dig out some new ideas from an old vst. I recommend getting this.

Big Tick Audio Software's Cheeze Machine is a free piece of software synthesizer that aims to emulate cheesy string sounds. I'm no longer running this software in my current set up, as my current system isn't compatible. It was, and most likely still is available as a VST plug-in for both Mac and PC systems. I don't remember too much about the installation process since it's been a while, but I would most likely remember if I had any problems. The interface of the soft synth is easy enough to follow, with sections for an oscillator, ensemble (which is basically chorus), a phaser, and some reverb. Each section has it's own parameters that I found for the most part to be pretty self explanatory. There are also preset sounds which make for great starting points if not adequate sounds on their own. A manual probably wasn't made for this. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE While I was running the Big Tick Audio Cheeze Machine plug-in, it was in Cubase SX and on a Hewlett Packard Pavilion dv8000 lap top. The computer consisted of a 3.0 Ghz processor and 2 GB of RAM. I don't ever remember having any problems running the software, as I would only have one of them open at a time anyway. It's definitely not going to take up very much processing power... OVERALL OPINION For a free soft synth, the Big Tick Audio Software Cheeze Machine is a nice little synth to have around. While it's got a very specific sound and isn't going to be suitable for use very often, the sounds that it does have are pretty cool for what they are. I'm a fan of more lo-fi sounds myself, so I definitely enjoyed having it when I did. If you've got a compatible system and are interested in soft synths at all (and free one at that!), do yourself a small favor and give the Cheeze Machine a try as it definitely won't disappoint when it comes to cheesiness!
