A Dumb Guide About Cyclop.

Lots of controls in Cyclop are labeled in a non-traditional manner. If you are used to traditional synths, you will need a guide to figure it out! Once you get the hang of it, you will see that it was designed to be a modulation beast. I think its much better than Massive. 1. The Wobble…

Mastering Limiter Mega Test

  Welcome to the Mastering Limiter Mega Test. Audio was sent through each plugin with extreme gain (+16db) to test the dynamics and sound quality. Not much mucking around was done inside the plugin. In the case of the Sonnox plugin, some soft knee was used. The Brainworx plugin was…

Blogs: Audio Software Out In The Open

Most people would think torrenting is the best way to find software. Torrent sites have come and gone. Heavily policing and attention caused some of them to disappear. These are no longer the preferred method of distribution for some obvious reasons. Right now the best method is out in the…

Random Reverb Dash - Plugin Shootout

  This test is just a smatter of different Reverb Plugins available and applied on an Electric piano. Each plugin is vastly different. Its impossible to test everything. Take this test lightly. Hall reverbs w/ 2sec times were used when available. 100% Wet settings were used when…

EQ Plugin Mega Shootout

  This is a comparison of EQ Plugins. Similar leveling and EQ boosts of 5db were used at 85hz, 1000hz, and 5000hz with similar bell Qs. Conclusion: Most plugins were plain jane except for Timeworks V1 and SSLEQ (which sounded most vintage). FabFilter is easy to use but I can’t hear…

Drum Compressor Mega Test

This is a test of several compressor plugins on the drum bus with similar/normal settings. Not every plugin has the same settings so there was improvisation in most instances. A slightly squashed / boost effect was the goal. My target was 30ms attack and 60ms release with 1.7 or 2.0 ratios…

Roland (Cakewalk) A-300 Pro Mini-Review

This is the best off-the shelf midi keyboard controller under $500 in my opinion. The A-300 Pro is a solid, no-headache deal. Its not plug & play (requires a software driver), but its impressive. The key action is a steep improvement from the terrible M-audio Axiom Pro, and possibly…
