Audio Software Goodies
It's been awhile since I've mentioned this, and there are some very, very nifty things popping up:
- True Pianos is finally going to be announced soon. I've been waiting for this for months. (If you've forgotten why this is gonna be so cool, here's a video reminder.)
- Studio Cat is having a group buy for their Reverb Tools IR, a bunch of tremendous pro-level Impulse Responses for convolution reverb plugins. (Note! It is not itself a reverb plugin.) It's normally $49, now $20 until Jan. 28.
- Semuta is a bizarre and wonderful audio toy for Mac and PC. I can't really describe it, but... there's a button on the lower right that looks like a screw head; it's the toggle for the help function, and once it's on a mouseover displays what any given feature is. The "screw" in the upper right exits the program.

I was listening, and my older daughter brought Shiny in and set her on my lap. Shiny was enraptured by the piano music--she loves pianos and bangs away mightily every chance she gets. She is mostly non verbal at this point but learning sign, slowly.
She stared for the longest time, then when one piece ended, she brought her hands up flat to her face very deliberately, then clapped in her distinctive "yay, I liked that, more please!" clap. It took me a minute to realize that her first sign had been a baby version of "Pretty".
Then she said Please. And watched contentedly for a good while longer. We watched both links a couple times.
