Kush Audio AR-1 v1.0.7 WIN

By | September 30, 2021

Kush Audio AR-1 v1.0.7 WIN

Kush Audio AR-1 v1.0.7 WIN

Vintage Mu Compressor
AR-1 is a variable-mu tube compressor whose roots are in the raucous sound of the rockin’ American 50’s, yet it enjoys a posh, tea-sipping British image thanks to its use at Abbey Road Studios in late 60’s, notably on the later Beatles and earlier Pink Floyd records. Kush painstakingly captured the sweet breakup of AR-1’s beefy tubes being driven into the dirt, then added more than a half dozen significant UI and functional enhancements. The resulting emulation is every bit as chunky as the original, and 10x more flexible.

For starters, you get to see the actual values of the controls (!!!). The release is fully variable (as opposed to stepped) and both attack & release can be set significantly faster than the original hardware, allowing for a much wider range of compressive ‘voices’ and textures.

But the real magic of AR-1 lies under the hood, with new algorithms that step Kush’s digital compressor technology forward. One of the most common complaints about plugin compressors (and digital sounds in general) is that they’re “too fast”. Even when a plugin’s attack time measures identical to the hardware, it generally sounds markedly different, resulting in transients that are excessively bright while lacking in low end impact.

Kush has addressed this by using our most sensitive measuring equipment — UBK’s ears — to obsessively tune not just the speed, but also the taper of the attack and release. As a result, AR-1 is a gentle beast that’s still capable of cooking a sound to a deliciously charred crisp. ‘Warm’ and ‘Smooth’ – arguably the most overused marketing terms in the audio world – really do apply. So be adventurous, and see where she’ll take you!

Kush Audio SILIKA v1.1.0 WIN

By | September 30, 2021

Kush Audio SILIKA v1.1.0 WIN

Kush Audio SILIKA v1.1.0 WIN

After 9 years in the plugin game, Kush can finally say without exaggeration that, at least for one particular flavor of vintage compressors that clip beautifully, we have completely closed the Analog/Digital gap. SILIKA is not ‘close’, it’s not ‘different but just as good’. It’s ‘Sonically Identical’ to the types of hardware it’s modeled after.

When you drive this plugin’s input, everything melts deliciously. In particular, the high frequencies lay back and spread out without getting edgy, or bright, or even the least bit ‘zingy’. It may get too grindy, but it won’t hurt your ears. Think Led Zeppelin IV’s hazy grunge, and you’ll start to get the idea.

SILIKA owes its killer sound to an extraordinarily complex harmonic distortion generator, but operationally it’s a relatively simple compressor with a familiar feature set. All of its distortions are controlled with the Input knob, which can be switched and blended to taste. The resulting signal then gets passed to a compressor/limiter with 4 available ratios, standard Attack/Release/Threshold/Mix controls, and sidechain filtering options which, while simple, allow for a dramatic reshaping of the compressor’s behavior.

It’s a straightforward plugin with an absolutely killer sound, and represents the dawn of a new era for Kush plugins and digital sonics in general.

By | September 30, 2021

The Deniz Koyu Master Series: Audio Engineering TUTORIAL

The Deniz Koyu Master Series: Audio Engineering TUTORIAL

For the very first time, Deniz Koyu reveals all in this signature mixing master series. Over 5 hrs 30 min of footage spanning over 16 chapters.

Sharpen Your Mixing Skills

In this exclusive master series from Deniz Koyu, the industry proclaimed audio genius, you will learn step by step the studio techniques and secrets he’s built over his entire career spanning more than 20 years.

Principles of Audio Explained

In this masterclass Deniz will take you chapter by chapter to explain you every step that is needed to get a professional mixdown.

  • Intro
    Meet Deniz Koyu, set your intention for this master series, and get ready to develop the skills you need to bring a truly professional sound to your productions.
  • Audio First
    Deniz shares tangible tips on how to get your audio sounding correct at the source before moving on to heavier processing — a commonly overlooked process you’ll thank yourself for committing to at the beginning of your engineering workflow.
  • Summing
    Uncover Deniz’s own take on what the mixing process involves. Witness a signature resampling trick he uses to make visually informed decisions at every step of this master series. Wrap up the chapter knowing how to blend elements like bass and synths together seamlessly.
  • Levelling
    Say goodbye to second guessing yourself when it comes to levelling your channels. Deniz demonstrates how to use a frequency spectrum analyzer to guide your levelling decisions and shares guidelines on volume settings for common elements. Get ready to turn leveling into a science.
  • Phase
    Perhaps the most valuable yet commonly misunderstood concept in audio. Deniz covers the most common questions about phasing and his tried and true lessons for optimizing the kick/bass phase relationship. Learn the advanced technique of optimizing phase on individual bass notes.
  • EQ Fundamentals
    This chapter is great for beginners and an equally important refresher for producers of all levels. Deniz covers EQ essentials using the Fab Filter Pro-Q 3.
  • Intentions
    Mid-Side EQ
    Through a comprehensive example, you’ll learn what mid-side EQ is and the situations you will run into that call for it’s application.
  • Dynamic EQ
    In this must-watch chapter, you’ll get an advanced lesson on dynamic EQ. Follow Deniz step by step as he goes through a technique for isolating unwanted frequencies on a vocal and dialling the threshold of each band to reduce peaks, all while maintaining vocal clarity.
  • Linear Phase EQ
    In this advanced chapter, you’ll learn how to use linear phase EQing to make adjustments to your kick/bass relationship towards the end of your mix without throwing off any of your phasing work. Get a solid understanding of parameters like impulse length and latency and discover the most common mixing issues linear phase EQing can help you fix in your mix.
  • Compression
    This is one chapter you won’t want to skip even if you know the ins and outs of compression like the back of your hand. Deniz explains the elements of a compressor in a way that’s easy to remember for life. Learn the pros and cons of using smooth vs aggressive compressors and see how Deniz uses a combination of popular compressors to bring the best out of one vocal.
  • Multiband Compression
    In this advanced tutorial, you’ll get into the nitty gritty of multiband compression. Using Fab Filter Pro-MB, Deniz demonstrates how he applies different compression settings to each band in a vocal, manipulating sounds to much further degrees to control aspects like reverb baked into an audio recording itself.
  • Distortion and Saturation
    Get ready to spice up your sounds and add excitement in all the right spots of your tracks by using Deniz’s favourite distortion and saturation tools.
  • Reverb
    Your one stop for all things reverb. In this chapter you’ll learn everything you need to know to give your sounds the perfect depth in your mix. Deniz covers the different types of reverb and uses a vocal to explain how to use this treatment as a mixing tool without overdoing it on wetness in a way that muddies up your mix.
  • Delay
    Learn how to get the most out of delay effects both as mixing tools that add depth and width as well as stylistically to add rhythm. Deniz shows you how to use delay to treat your plucks and applies two different delays to a vocal, adding magic to the whole track.
  • Stereo Imaging
    In this in-depth lesson, Deniz shares his favourite techniques and examples for shaping and manipulating the stereo field for a professionally balanced track.
  • Group Processing
    Learn how to organize your project in a way that brings the very best out of your sounds. Deniz describes how he typically groups his channels then uses techniques covered in the course so far to glue sounds together in a way that works beautifully for each type of sound.
  • Complete Mixing Demonstration
    Watch how it’s done by the master from start to very finish. In this complete mixing tutorial, you’ll spend almost an hour and a half watching Deniz apply all the techniques covered in the master series to mix down the track to that professional and label-ready level.
  • Summary and Closing Words
    Wrap up your learnings with Deniz and get pumped to start applying the valuable audio engineering techniques you’ve learned in your next sessions for a truly polished sound.

Musical Sampling Vocal Bundle KONTAKT

Maggie + Amy + Fauxgorian

Maggie

  • Rich, soulful female legato vocals
  • Legato Vowels: Ooo, Mmm, Ahh
  • 1.7 GB compressed NCW format

Amy

  • Angelic, cinematic female legato vocals
  • Legato Vowels: Ahh, Mmm
  • 1.4 GB compressed NCW format

Fauxgorian

  • Lush, cinematic male legato vocals
  • Legato Vowels: Ooo, Mmm, Ahh
  • 2.1 GB compressed NCW format

The Vocal Bundle is a 5 GB collection of meticulously-crafted legato vocals from three different singers.
Our goal with these releases was to produce incredibly smooth, emotive patches that can be used for a wide variety of musical contexts. To achieve this, we recorded all the legato “long style” – a technique that takes far more recording time but ensures a smooth sustain after the legato transitions have sounded.

In addition to tuning, frequency adjustments and extensive balancing, all three libraries went through a rigorous programming period that involved zeroing in on precise start-time values for every legato interval individually; down to millisecond adjustments to find their specific sweet spots. The result: Responsive, emotive and balanced legato patches that transition smoothly throughout the entire range.

Ueberschall Elastik 3 v3.5.1 WIN

Ueberschall Elastik 3 v3.5.1 WIN

Ueberschall Elastik 3 v3.5.1 WIN

Elastik 3, developed in cooperation with zplane.development, is the most powerful sample player that we have ever created. It provides a complete toolkit for modern music producers working with audio loops. Loops can be an essential part of many musicians creative process and, with Elastik, you get a fast, efficient and flexible set of tools.

The Elastik-Engine
The new ReTune tab in the Loopeye editor gives you complete control over the scale and key of any tonal loop and can even work with polyphonic material.

The ReTune algorithm, developed by zplane.development, analyzes polyphonic and monophonic sound material in realtime and transform it to the desired key and scale while retaining high audio quality. Enter custom scales via the matrix or chose from preset scales to adjust any loop to your project. ReTune can also be used as a creative tool for sounddesign with parameters like sensitivity, transients, smoothing and pitch correction as well as a Dry / Wet control.

If you want complete control over the time and pitch stretching process, the Time tab within the Loopeye editor allows you to choose between six different algorithms, from the simple and super efficient PitchSpeed to the high quality ProV3 which gives you the maximum scope for varying pitch and tempo while minimizing audio artifacts. This tab also includes new stretching FX for additional creative options. The engine is also very efficient and CPU-friendly.

In addition to the pitch and tempo manipulation, Elastik’s central Loopeye forms a detailed loop-editing tool. A large number of parameters can be adjusted, including slice-based pitch-shifting, volume and pan, reverse, formant, filter and resample. Elastik even includes a random sound replacement function called INSPIRE: one click on the Inspire button and Elastik will select an alternative loop, providing just that bit of additional inspiration when you need it. All this can be done on the fly and without leaving the Elastik environment. You can define which soundbanks will be used in the Inspire tool with the new Inspire browser.

Creative Tool
While Elastik is a hugely creative tool, it also provides an extremely efficient workflow. The streamlined browser means that no matter how large your Elastik loop library becomes, you can always find just the right loop in an efficient fashion. Elastik also includes advanced features such as tagging and filtering, making it easy to narrow down any search. The browser allows you to easily audition loops in BPM, key and scale sync with your project. And if you want to add new loop libraries from the Ueberschall range, the authorization process is fast and secure.

Once you have identified loops to use within your project, they can be mapped to Elastik’s virtual keyboard or pads ready to be triggered from within Elastik, via your MIDI keyboard or from your host sequencer. A range of different triggering methods are available so you can ensure that your loops stay locked in sync with your project. Elastik’s sophisticated time, pitch, key and scale shifting algorithms – featuring zplane’s cutting edge audio processing technology – maximize audio quality and you have independent control over all parameters and maximum flexibility when it comes to matching loops to the tempo and key of any project.

Elastik’s key Features include:

  •  innovative Loopeye functions
  •  Retune: polyphonic scale and key shifting
  •  timestretch and pitchshift in best quality
  •  fast browser features (multiple filter search, tagging)
  •  prelisten in BPM, key and scale sync
  •  sequence mode (loads of editing features per slice)
  •  random sound replacement via Inspire
  •  parameter automation
  •  realtime sync to host
  •  multiple outs
  •  bounce of original and modified loops
  •  resizable window format
  •  multiple soundbank management
