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?

Hmm, 4Front, eh? Their 4Front bass module is the one I've been using for all my bass parts in my current project, it's very realistic. My plan all along has been to replace the parts with a real bass, but I keep thinking that the 4Front module sounds so good, and it's so much work to lay down real bass tracks........

Heck, their free piano is pretty decent. But the tone on this beastie... I'm a bit miffed, though. One of the guys from 4Front is on the KVR forums, and he says the release price will reflect a year of software updates and new piano modules. I just want the basic piano. And I don't want to have to pay for hypothetical plugins I may not want that don't even exist yet, just to get the stuff that does.
