One of the Few Things Engineer Kyle Mann Can't Live Without: Metric Halo's ChannelStrip

Nov 28, 2019, by Metric Halo

BURBANK, CALIFORNIA – NOVEMBER 2019: “Growing up, my family had a rule that everyone had to learn an instrument,” recalled engineer Kyle Mann. “I started on the cello at age five, but I always hated practicing. When I was eleven, I got a boom box that could record, so I recorded myself practicing and then played that back from my room instead of actually practicing. It was the moment that ended my career as a cellist and began my career as a recording engineer!” By all accounts, it appears to have been a smart move because today Mann owns three-room Speakeasy Sound in Burbank, California and navigates a packed schedule of recording, mixing, producing, and songwriting from Studio A and other studios around town. He has a longstanding collaboration with celebrated producer Theron "Neff-U" Feemster and an extensive list of satisfied clients, including Ariana Grande, Camila Cabello, Highly Suspect, and (currently) Leslie Odom Jr. Who knows if Mann would have been so successful as a cellist? These days, Mann uses Metric Halo’s... More

Discover the new Artist Pack by Crystal Distortion!

Nov 13, 2019, by Mixvibes

Enjoy the highlights of global sonic adventures This pack was created and inspired by the best sounds and loops I crafted for my recent world tour with SP23.

MacOS Catalina notice

Oct 9, 2019, by Voxengo

Dear Voxengo users, Voxengo plugins that are newly-installed on macOS Catalina may not work due to bizzare Apple "notarization" requirement. Previously installed plugins that were installed on the system before Catalina upgrade (e.g. on Mojave) do work without issues. We will need to upgrade our macOS developer tools and hardware to the latest requirements, and re-release all our plugins before new plugin installations may work. This will take an undefined amount of time. If your work relies on Voxengo plugins, upgrading to macOS Catalina is not recommended at this time. Until further notice, macOS 10.15 Catalina is not officially supported by Voxengo software. More

MacOS 10.15 – Catalina

Oct 2, 2019, by Krotos Audio

MacOS 10.15 – Catalina Update As some of you may know, Apple will soon be releasing a new version of OSX; Catalina. Apple are making a series of changes to the way the OS works, which will have a knock-on effect on some audio software. Like many developers, we will need some time to update our processes to meet their new standards for 3rd Party software. We strongly recommend that all Mac-based users of Krotos products wait to upgrade to this new OS for the time-being. On release, Krotos products will not support this version of OS X. We recommend you turn off automatic updates on your Mac to stay in control of your software as these changes are rolled out by Apple, to avoid disruption to your workflow. We will be in touch once we have updated our software to meet the new OS X guidelines. If you have any other technical questions or enquiries, please feel free to contact us. Contact... More

Voxengo OVC-128 1.3 massively-oversampled clipper plugin released

Oct 1, 2019, by Voxengo

Voxengo is happy to release OVC-128 version 1.3, a massively-oversampled soft/hard clipping effect plug-in for professional music production applications, available in AAX, AudioUnit, VST and VST3 plug-in formats, for macOS and Windows computers. Version 1.3 adds the "residue" signal monitoring: a difference between the clipped and the original sound. OVC-128 is a massively-oversampled soft/hard clipping effect plug-in for professional music production applications. A common use for this plug-in is hard-clipping before the final peak limiter. This is an effective approach in contemporary electronic music when loudness is boosted using a clipper plug-in while minor excessive peaks are absorbed by a final peak limiter that applies no additional gain itself. OVC-128 features: 128X linear-phase oversampling Clipping hardness control Stereo processing 64-bit floating point processing Preset manager Undo/redo history A/B comparisons Contextual hint messages All sample rates support 38 ms compensated...
