Audio Software Goodies

[filkertom]

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.

Anything new on your musical horizon?

Local SCA had a Bardic Collegium on Saturday and I got a mini voice assessment from an opera singer-turning-voice teacher. Mostly what I expected, mezzo-soprano and mid-range everything really; compliments on my pitch, homework assignment to work on sight-reading.

I did my share of teaching too: I wound up with a session on "Songs We Used To Sing" and dragged out old SCA filks for an audience that didn't know the tune to "Rosin the Bow" and "The Ash Grove". They do now, by cracky!

Brava! Well done!

Are you coming to the Nasfic? I can hear the per-cussin' from here. ;)
