Inspired Acoustics Inspirata The evolution of convolution takes several steps forward with Inspired Acoustics’ awe‑inspiring immersive reverb. It’s amazing how a technology that seems mature can turn out to be anything but. Not so long ago, it seemed, we were all pretty happy as long as our plug‑ins could do a passable impression of a Lexicon, or implement convolution without melting our CPUs. Yet over the last few years, plug‑in reverb has evolved beyond recognition. Only last mon...

Roland TR-06 & TR-6S Roland’s unsung TR‑606 is the inspiration for their newest drum machines. Roland love a themed day, but unfortunately missed June 6th for the launch of their three new 606 related products.

Reproducer Epic 5 We put German company Reproducer’s unusual debut nearfield speaker to the test. Reproducer was a completely new name for me when a review enquiry landed in my inbox.

Pro Tools: Bus & Group Compression Avid Pro Tools Tips & Techniques Screen 1: The green fader works like a group fader on a traditional analogue mixer, controlling the levels of all the channels that are being fed through it. The light blue fader on the right is a VCA fader: it doesn’t actually pass audio, it simply tells the faders within the group what level they should be. For simple setups they work identically, but as things get more complex the comparison falls apart. We explore B...

Cubase offers everything that you need to design engaging effects risers and impacts.

Ableton Live: Using Effects Everything you need to know about effects in Live. Live includes a broad selection of audio effects along with myriad presets to get you started. In this workshop, we’ll show how to insert, combine and modulate effects in both Session and Arrangement views. Screen 1: Channel EQ processes the synth clip only. Clip automation turns it on or off for each clip, and modulation in the synth clip affects the EQ’s High band.When you want an audio effect to process a si...

We check out a modern take on Manley’s classic valve compressor.
