AlanForPresident « a little overpriced »
Published on 06/06/12 at 14:19Atmosphere is a virtual synth that is pretty good and very easy to use and to install. The only problem that I see with it was the price. I feel like it was overpriced (at the time) but the price may have come down some since. But when it first came out years ago the price of it was just too high . When there are other vst’s on the market that are almost the same but cost even less.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I have been using Spectrasonics Atmosphere for years now as a vst (don’t think it can be used as a stand alone) and I havent had any issues yet. I still use it to this day and I purchased it years ago. I have had it on so many different machines and it worked perfect on all of them. Even the ones that are older and really outdated and slow. I have only used it in Fl Studio thinking about adding it to some of my other set ups though.
OVERALL OPINION
If you really take the time to get to Understand everything in Atmosphere (you will need the manual to do this!) then it can really be to your advantage in editing the sounds and parameters for each sound. You can really dig deep and just do some flat out cool stuff with it. It will allow you to bring out creativity that your fellow musicians may lack. But this virtual synth will cost you a pretty penny , which is the downside. I am happy that I purchased it though, but if I was on a tighter budget at the time I probably would have got it. Or if I tried it out before I spent the money I might not have got it because there are cheaper vsts that are almost the same. But hey if you want something good that will last you have to invest!
