Members Palaver Posted April 2, 2008 Members Share Posted April 2, 2008 I just picked up Arturia's Analog factory experience. It's a wonderful writing tool. Sounds great, it's wonderful for very quick and inspirational sounds, and it's 'tweakable' enough to keep me happy. If I want to nerd out, I got the Analog instrument (in Ableton Live Suite) which is quite good, and I got the Radias expansion on my M3. Hopefully, my Apogee Ensemble interface arrives, and that will be followed directly with Logic Studio. Here is a question for you out there who are familiar with mixing/mastering and effects: Would you go with the UAD Xpander Xtreme or the TC Powercore? I will not make this decision until I have played around extensively with Logic Studio. I have yet to find a review, etc., or a comparison of Logic's built in plugins compared to Waves/UAD/TC... what appeals to me about the specialized companies for signal processing is the option of an outboard processor... I am really pushing my computer (I am running a MacBook Pro @ 2.2Ghz DuoCore w/4 gigs of ram), and I have to freeze tracks when running effects on certain sounds while writing (for example - having guitar tracks playing in Abelton with some verb/wierd effect + 10 other tracks, while you are jamming some synth solo running in Arturia). I'd rather not be constantly converting {censored} to audio as things change constantly... perhaps I'm just lazy. My main desire - I want an outboard effects processor for my MacBook that operates via PCI. I need to free up the firewire for the interface and my high speed external drive (use for samples). My main concerns are EQ, reverb, delay, multiband compression, and compression/limiting. As of now, I am leaning towards UAD as they have everything I want for approx 2K, but I really like some of the Powercore products as well. The waves option just seems too bloody expensive... Sorry about the hijack! -Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members angstwulf Posted April 2, 2008 Members Share Posted April 2, 2008 Roland PK5. Had weeerd dream the other night. I had long hair and glasses and played bass and sang about Ayn Rand with a screachy voice. Dream ended up in a vision of turning my DEVO into a Pseudo-Taurus. Woke up in a cold sweat. I feel so ashamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mysteron Posted April 5, 2008 Members Share Posted April 5, 2008 My Electribe EA-1 and RM1X both arrived today, got the two of them for $200 from an impoverished student (hey that's what he wanted for them!). I figured that was too much of a bargain to pass up. Upgrading the D-70 will just have to wait another couple months. Now I'm seriously going to get into hardware sequencing again.
