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.
It's All Part of the Great Circle of WAH-HOO-HA-HOO-HOOOOO
Dude, that's why we're in fandom. It's only been the past several years that the mainstream has finally begun to catch up to us a bit. So far, though, "obnoxious juvenile humor" is as far as most of them have got (Scrubs, Alton Brown, and Anthony Bourdin notwithstanding). The "takes some intelligence to understand" has at least made it as far as Battlestar Galactica and 24.
