Tips & Tricks: Lookahead Compression and the FET Compressor
Tony Maserati,
one of the giants of the recording industry, sent us an
article about how he uses the lookahead feature of the FET
Compressor to achive a fast attack but retain the smooth sound of a
slower attack.
Transients, what do you do with them? Well, with compressors we can make them pop, slap, grab only half of them while letting the rest pass, or we can stomp on them like they stole something.
Studio Collection Bundle Sale!
During December we're having a 40% sale on our Studio Collection bundle! The Studio Collection contains 12 of our award-winning plug-ins and can be found at our authorized dealers at a discount until December 31.
Video Section: Saturation Knob
Cakewalk have made a couple of videos featuring the Saturation Knob made by Softube. The Saturation Knob comes bundled with SONAR X1 Producer Expanded as part of the ProChannel and provides smooth, one-knob, frequency saturation for just the right amount of tube warmth on any track.
Review Section
Paul Vnuk Jr. has reviewed the
TSAR1-Reverb for Recording magazine. It's a great review, and we'd like to quote
him on the conclusions of the review:
Bottom line, it holds its own, especially in rick sonic uniqueness. The TSAR-1 package is a deal at $180 street (the Lexicon Native Bundle is $1500 and the 224 requires UAD-2 hardware). If you are still stubbornly stuck on the hardware reverb train, or just want a new and amazing flavor of reverb for your sessions, check out TSAR-1. It will surprise you.
(The $180 price he is referring to was during the campaign, now it's $299.) To read the entire review, be sure to grab yourself a copy of the November issue of Recording Mag.
