Musicians' thread.

Ok make that this afternoon - forgot the laptop at home - was gonna hog company bandwidth for the upload :o

http://varietyofsound.wordpress.com/2012/06/26/major-mkiii-update-for-density-bus-compressor-released/

So, lets talk about the Density mkIII update. During the last two years or so I’ve received quite a lot of feedback to the Density mkII release – mostly coming from mastering engineers – on how to improve its dynamic response towards todays mastering needs. Some very early efforts did not made it but with the learnings from the ThrillseekerLA compressor design and the emerging stateful saturation approach everything was possible, all of a sudden.

The mkIII version of this compressor introduces quite a lot and deep optimizations of the compressor engine especially but not limited for its use in audio mastering situations. The transient response is spot on now over the entire spectrum and it creates sonic depth and dimension: It renders audio like a three-dimensional image. This feature is very much supported by stateful saturation, which is also included now and appears on the stage as a brand new developed “VCA color” model and can be dialed in to taste.

With Density mkIII not only transients are managed in a musical and mastering grade fashion – it also renders a three-dimensional audio image, which truly supports perceived depth and dimension.

Major changes from mkII to mkIII version, at a glance:

the handling of inter modulation distortion (IMD) has been improved and there is no HF exaggeration caused by this anymore
the transient response of the compressor is now more focused and consistent over the entire spectrum reducing coloration artifacts
instead, a VCA color model has been implemented which can be dialed in as needed, providing a strong 2nd and 3rd order harmonic as well as frequency and load dependent higher order distortion artifacts
the SC filter option was optimized to better decouple the subsonic frequencies below 90Hz
the TIMING presets had been changed and features faster and more modern release time settings
P5 and P6 are introducing true program dependent release time behaviour now
a timing readout is displayed now for about 5 seconds when the according parameters are changing
the COMP mode has been changed and features soft-knee characteristics now
the parameter naming (as seen in host automation) is revised and the parameters are sorted now
the RELAX option has been changed and also allows to speed up the attack times
the linking algorithm has been optimized

I’m rellay proud of this release – the compressor is so much responsive but smooth like cake. And it proves all statements wrong a plug-in can’t sound ’3d’. This one certainly does.

Further release info coming soon.

The biggest thing stopping me from writing lyrics is me not sitting down and writing them - I think the time is soon and then I will force myself to write something especially considering my current mood the lyrics might be a bit dark
 
Need to get bass guitar sometime. Anybody in Cape Town have anything they looking to sell? Preferably 4 string.

Going on a Gumtree mission now.

Lol sorry Dix just saw this now.

Yip, been playing since I was a kid. :p

Kids however make it difficult to get enough practice time in though. The one baby is big and the other one still little lol.

ya, but the first one is an upgrade from komplete 8

Price is actually $1,099.00 standalone

I am aware of that.

I got Komplete 8 for absolute peanuts during their spring sale.

So, at the end of the day, Komplete 8 Ultimate is going to cost less than Komplete 8 would normally cost...
 
Phew this thread still going? sweet!

So..

Who wants to hear Shake&Bake sing?

:D

This is the 3rd night in a row I've been mixing his tracks at bloody ungodly hours.. I deserve a bottle of Spiced Gold hinthinthinthint.
