FG-X Virtual Mastering Processor Worldclass mastering compressor with transparent and articulate sound Revolutionary ITP process to make your mixes louder without degradation Controls for low and high punch Ultra precise mastering quality metering Mac/Windows VST, RTAS, AU

The Concept

Imagine mastering your mixes without causing the lifeless, squashed, and over compressed sound that has become so common in modern music. We have all been at the mercy of the "loudness wars" for over ten years now. Masters have become louder and louder, at the expense of the music becoming harsh and lacking punch and dynamics. One of the main causes of this epidemic is the use of the Peak Limiter to achieve increased levels in the mastering stage. Peak limiters attenuate transients and often reduce punch, stereo imaging, can greatly alter mix balances, and cause a fatiguing result to the ears.

Some of the top mastering engineers have found ways to combat this sonic degradation by using techniques other then Peak Limiting. One of the more popular techniques is the use of saturation in both the analog and digital domain. Another popular method is clipping the front end of expensive A/D converters.

However, both of these methods, while better then peak limiting, have their downfalls. Static saturation curves are not universal in their ability to sound good on all transients. Clipping greatly reduces low end punch and is very poor at retaining sub bass. Both static saturation and clipping have a small window of gain maximizing before audible distortion. Enter SLATE DIGITAL.

FG-X DYNAMICS RACK

Two years ago Steven Slate and expert algorithm engineer Fabrice Gabriel started working out the concept for a digital audio process that could increase the level of a mix without altering the punch and dynamic feel, or make the mix sound squashed and lifeless. They started by researching saturation curves and their effect on various types of transient material. After several months of study and hundreds of listening tests, they made some fascinating discoveries. What they found, was that in order to transparently add level to a mix, a dynamic and intelligent transient saturation system would have to be developed.

New ADVANCED ALGORITHMS were created to execute the extremely complex communication system that would be needed to properly perform the new dynamic operations. A new algorithm was formed, and the process was named "Intelligent Transient Preservation", or ITP. Read more at www.slatedigital.com

Drumagog

Say Goodbye To Bad Drums Drumagog is a real-time audio plug-in that replaces the sound of your recorded drums. Don’t like the sound of your snare? Insert Drumagog on the snare track and choose a new sound; Drumagog automatically plays the new snare in place of the original. Auto-Align 2.0 and New Triggering Engine A collaboration between WaveMachine Labs and Fraunhofer (inventors of the MP3 format) has resulted in a revolutionary new alignment algorithm. Drums hits are perfectly aligned and sample accurate. Drumagog now has the most accurate sample alignment algorithm available anywhere. Drumagog's already powerful triggering engine has been improved to more accurately track the most demanding drum tracks. Even complicated rolls and flams are no match for Drumagog 5's new triggering engine. Learn More Room Samples The Gog sample format has been extended to include room and mic samples: Simply dial in the amount of room desired using the new mixer interface. Up to three room or alternative mic samples can be triggered from a single drum hit. All room and mic samples maintain a phase-lock with each other. Drumagog 5 comes with updated Gog samples to take advantage of this powerful new feature. Learn More Auto Hi-Hat Tracking Drumagog 5 automatically detects hi-hat pedal position (open/closed) and adjusts the samples accordingly. Hi-hats are now easy to replace, accurate, and faithful to their original articulations. Learn More Plugin Hosting Open virtual instruments inside Drumagog 5 for unlimited sounds. Plug-ins such as BFD2, Superior Drummer, Kontakt, and more open directly in Drumagog for easy access to a virtually unlimited library of samples.

SSL Move over

Amplify’d from vstinews.amplify.com

The Glue

Move over SSL the Glue is here

The Glue

The Glue is a high quality analog modeled plug-in based on The classic 80’s British big console buss compressor with some additional features. It uses the same high quality algorithms used in circuit simulation packages but optimised for real time use. It’s quick and easy to use and has an uncluttered interface.

Additions over the original circuit include an ultra-fast attack time of up to 0.01mS and a Range knob which backs off the compression to give incredibly natural sounding attacks and limits the maximum amount of compression applied. Also included are external sidechain support and an adjustable sidechain highpass filter.

Acoustic Drums

Three very different sounding acoustic drum loops have been processed with the same setting of The Glue, and are display first dry then limited with The Glue in three pairs below. The light grey waveforms are the dry audio and the yellow waveforms are the limited ones. As you can see the levels vary greatly on the dry waveforms and are very consistent on the yellow, peaking at around -6 dB.

“…both the Mix and Range controls add a host of options for dialling in the compression flavour, and in practice we found this made The Glue an incredibly flexible compressor not just for use on the master bus, but for individual instruments too… The Glue is a world-class pulg-in and, at $99, we reckon it offers amazing value.” - Computer Music Magazine Issue 164, view online version at Music Radar

“…it’s time to measure it up against my own SSL. I fed both compressors the same loops and they squashed and snapped the audio like two peas in a pod. Cytomic have got very close to the SSL flavour, but with the advantage of faster attack times, and the extended range control to bring it up to date for the virtual studio.” - Future Music Magazine Issue 221

“Let me cut to the chase. The Glue is a magic lamp. It’s one of those tools that immediately makes you go, ‘So that’s how they do it!‘ It’s also mindlessly simple to use… If you’re making music that relies on thump-you-in-the-chest punch, this could be the only compressor plug-in you’ll need for a long time. Seriously.” - Keyboard Magazine Read more at vstinews.amplify.com

Projectsam Symphobia Review

Project Sam Symphobia Symphonic Ensembles & Effects is everything you have been missing in your orchestral palette - immersive ensemble multi-samples attained by true ensemble recordings and intense cinematic effects, all available in a rich selection of combinations and articulations. With Symphobia, you have at your disposal an extremely inspiring orchestral tool for scoring film, games and television. Project Sam Symphobia Symphonic Ensembles & Effects Key Features: -Live recordings of orchestral full-ensemble multi-samples captured in a beautiful concert hall environment -Vast library of orchestral clusters, rips and other instantly inspiring cinematic effects -Covering strings, all-new brass, woodwinds and much more -Lots of additional cinematic content including Dystopia II and ethnic flute phrases -Two mic sets available: Concert Stage and Close mic -Orchestral sections recorded as full-range ensembles, pre-seated on the stage -Custom Kontakt scripting and interface offering repetition, simulated legato, octaver and more -Approx. 18 GB library pool in 44.1 kHz 24-bit -NI Kontakt Player 2 included -Mapping/programming unlocked, audio/scripting locked -As a bonus, also included is the Gran Cassa II: an orchestral bass drum previously only available to True Strike users. Symphobia introduces a brand new concept and instrument group for ProjectSAM: a full-string ensemble recorded in a warm concert hall. An extensive Ensemble bank and unique Effects bank are available. The Ensemble bank includes numerous full-string articulations, including tremolo, staccato, pizzicato and con sordino. Other highlights in the collection feature beautiful chord performances, violin section-only articulations and low strings playing in octaves with the contrabasses playing one octave below the celli. The Effects bank includes a wide range of upward and downward glissandi, shrieky clusters, stabs and wild arco/pizzicato textures -- priceless material for film and TV composers, impossible to achieve using standard multi-samples. Continuing SAM's orchestral brass tradition, the Brass Section in Symphobia offers an all-new full-brass ensemble in a number of articulations, including sustain, marcato, staccato and mutes. Also available are major & minor chord performances, different orchestrations of mixed brass instruments and, similar to the strings, low brass in octaves, with the tuba playing an octave below the trombones. All this is recorded live, without any post-production layering. The Effects range from several types of horrific clusters to note bendings, horn rips and wild repetitions. Some effects are performed by the entire brass ensemble, others by one section at a time. One of Symphobia 's highlights are the articulations and effects performed by strings and brass together. Nothing beats the live, natural blending of sections in a real concert hall. Symphobia offers powerful sustains, staccatos and other articulations played by violins, violas, celli, contrabasses, horns, trumpets, trombones and tuba playing together, plus different orchestrated combinations of these instruments. Again, the low range has been sampled in octaves. Over 10 types of clusters are available, combining different playing techniques and dynamic arcs like arco, tremolo, flageolet for strings and open, muted and flatter-tongue for brass. Last but not least, the Effects bank houses the Glissandi Rips, played by the same powerful combination of sections. In addition to the large symphonic sections, Symphobia also offers a solo string quintet, consisting of 2 violins, 1 viola, 1 cello and 1 contrabass. As with the other ensembles, the solo strings are spread out over one full keyboard. Articulations available: arco accented, arco espressivo, marcato, staccato and pizzicato. Symphobia contains instruments that go beyond the traditional symphonic range. Over 120 beautifully performed ethnic flute phrases are included, covering duduk, shakuhachi and Native American flute. Some phrases are atonal or effect-like, others are performed in a specific key. Read more at www.youtube.com

VX-64 Vocal Strip

For vocals. It is a vst also.

Amplify’d from www.cakewalk.com

VX-64 Vocal Strip

VX-64 Vocal Strip is a seven-stage processor designed for sculpting incredible sounding vocal tracks. Each of the VX-64's stages have been fine-tuned to be vocal-specific, taking the work out of loading an entire chain of vocal processors. The VX-64 features a new Cakewalk technology that employs phase-coherent, multi-band saturation to avoid unwanted distortion; unique filtering to avoid artifacts at extreme high and low frequencies; and an auto-leveling circuit that prevents the tube saturation from sounding too harsh when high gain transients are processed by it. VX-64 also employs a new de-essing algorithm designed with Cakewalk's LP-64 linear phase effect filtering technology to remove sibilance without creating any frequency smearing.  The VX-64 includes 64 go-to presets and click & drag reordering of processing stage routing, making it fast and easy to get high quality vocals in seconds. Processing stages include:

Input — simulates a tube pre amp. De-esser — removes sibilance without smearing. Compander — vocal compressor with expander to reduce unwanted background noise. Tube EQ — for adding character, ranging from subtle warmth to intense heat. Doubler — advanced doubling effect providing the quality of actual re-tracking. Delay — preset delays useful for vocal tracks with tempo sync. Output — provide saturation control with a built in soft-clipping filter.
