Sonible SmartReverb v1.0.1 VST2 VST3 AAX

Sonible SmartReverb v1.0.1 VST2 VST3 AAX

smart:reverb delivers custom-tailored reverb by adjusting its processing to the individual characteristics of the input material and creates a navigable range of styles from scratch.

Reverb that truly fits – powered by A.I.

With just one click, smart:reverb analyzes the source material quickly to create every reverb from scratch. By custom-fitting the reverb to the spectral and temporal characteristics of the input signal, typical problems such as disturbing resonances or muddy reverb tails are avoided from the very beginning.

Our smart:engine, an A.I.-based, content-aware system designed on the basis of psychoacoustic principles as well as extensive hands-on mixing experience, powers the inner workings of smart:reverb. Just like our smart:comp and smart:EQ 2, this intelligent plug-in comes equipped with profiles for different audio sources to prime the processing of the smart:engine to the input signal.

Explore characteristics, not presets

smart:reverb creates reverb based on the source signal rather than working with presets or pre-recorded impulse responses. To find the reverb style you envision, browse through its reverb matrix, in which all possibilities fit to your input signal. Guided by descriptive properties, you’ll find what you are looking for – intuitively and efficiently.

Stay in control

For maximum control, smart:reverb provides you with an interactive view of the reverb’s anatomy. Its detailed interface makes it easy for you to manipulate the deep-structure of the reverb by modifying its frequency and time-dependent decay rate as well as the reverb’s spread or density evolvement over time.

smart:reverb is a hybrid plug-in that combines the flexibility of a fully parametrizable reverb with the transparency and sonic integrity of convolution reverbs. The audio plug-in offers options to change the reverb time and pre-delay, to expand the reverb’s width, increase its clarity and to change the color. Additionally, smart:reverb contains sound layering features for sound design.

Samples From Mars 606 From Mars MULTIFORMAT

Samples From Mars 606 From Mars MULTIFORMAT

The Classic 80s Analog Drum Machine – Modified & Re-Sampled
The 606 is an analog drum machine from 1982, originally built to accompany the TB-303. The original drum machine’s sound is similar to an 808, but perhaps a little more unique. The bass drum, snare and toms are classically analog and warm, and the hi hats and cymbals are unbelievably groovy and organic sounding. The 606 can be heard all over early Plastikman, Aphex, Autechre, Paranoid London and more.

One of the unique aspects of the 606’s sound is the internal, dynamic clipping that occurs on each drum voice when you start using the accents. The louder the accent, the more clipping that occurs. The resultant sound is a crunchier, more colored transient, which has a different affect on each drum voice.

Capturing the Original 606
We sampled the 606 cleanly (turning down the volume of each drum voice) and also with 7 different levels of clipping. The 606 was tracked through the punchy API 512 preamp, coupled with a Reddi (tube DI) for added warmth. This signal path went directly to our 1/4″ Otari mastering reel to reel, and into an SSL gate *after the tape machine* to add slight analog VCA punch. Finally the results reached our computer via Apogee Symphony. No plugin processing whatsoever.

Re-Sampling Through the MPC60 & SP1200
While undoubtedly excellent, the 606 is limited – with no tuning for any of the drum voices. Not a problem! We ran it through our two favorite 12bit samplers of all time – the MPC60 and SP1200. By capturing the samplers’ unique tunings (15 per voice) and clipping the inputs *just* the right amount, we ended up with a killer pack of re-sampled, dirty and characterful 606 drums. The noise and aliasing the samples give the sounds allow them to really punch through a mix – plus it’s an interesting way to directly compare the sound of the MPC60 and SP1200 (in Ableton there is a macro you can use to switch between samplers).

The Modified 606
Finally, we sampled a heavily modified 606 that has an entire second body of controls built onto this classic drum machine. There’s now a MASSIVE bass boost to the original tom, transforming it into a monstrous, booming sub kick that sounds like a cross between an 808 and 909. There are multi-pitched snares, uniquely metallic hi hats and trashier cymbals, and an extensive collection of tuned toms – none of which you’ll find in any other 606 samples.

The End Result
Ultimately we ended up recording 3 different 606s – the original, the modified, and a third, sampled through the MPC60 and SP1200. The result is a super extensive 606 sample pack featuring clean, unadulterated, classic 606 sounds, but also heavily modified and re-sampled 606 sounds. Time to replace your 808 samples??

Samples From Mars Kawaii Dreams From Mars MULTIFORMAT

15 Dreamy Patches from Our Favorite Kawaii Keyboards
After a recent deep dive into early rave records, I went down a rabbit hole to find out what synths were responsible for the sounds that made the music so special. So we grabbed a handful of vintage Kawaii synths and fell in love with the K3 (1986), K1 (1988), and GB-2 A.K.A. Session Trainer (1991).

These wavetable synths have an inherent harmonic distortion from the era’s conversion technology that give them a ton of character not possible from analog oscillators (and not captured on the recent plugins that have surfaced). So we sampled a mix of era-defining preset patches and custom patches. These sounds are cinematic, nostalgic, and orchestral… but above all, dreamy!

Contents:

  •  15 multi-sampled patches organized into 4 categories
  •  Samples from the Kawaii K1M, K3 and GB-2 Session Trainer
  •  Iconic Kawaii sounds like Return Home and Hello !!
  •  Voices, Keys, Pads and Organs
  •  Custom programmed K3 patches with Analog Filter modulations
  •  Slow sweeps, warm strings, random LFOs, punchy plucks, and 2 custom programmed organ patches
  •  928 24 bit WAV samples
  •  WAVs are trimmed, looped, named by note, and mapped to various samplers
  •  WAVs feature mapping and looping metadata, for easy drag n drop into unsupported samplers
  •  Recorded cleanly through an API 1608 console to Apogee Symphony Conversion
  •  Modwheel parameters and FX routing on all software instruments

Ready For:

  •  Any 24 bit WAV Compatible DAW or Sampler
  •  Ableton Live 9.7+ (Not Intro)
  •  Kontakt 5.6.5+ (Not Kontakt Player)
  •  Logic 9+
  •  Reason 8+
  •  FL Studio 20.8+
  •  SFZ Player (Free, cross-platform solution for any DAW)

Life of Mozart (Volume 1-3): Biography of Music Genius (Complete Edition)

Life of Mozart (Vol. 1-3): Biography of Music Genius (Complete Edition)

Life of Mozart in three volumes is a biography of famous Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart written for the centenary of his birth. It was written by German scholar Otto Jahn who collected the written sources on the life of the composer for the first time and evaluated them using philological methods. The book is basically an Encyclopedia of musical art and biography.

It presents, not only the narrative of Mozart’s life in the smallest details, with a thorough examination of each work, but it also deals with the rise and progress of each branch of music that Mozart touched. Jahn also provides a detailed account of the social and musical state of the numerous cities visited by Mozart, such as Paris, Munich, and Vienna, and biographical sketches of people in Mozart’s life. Jahn’s biography of Mozart is of great importance for musicology and remains fundamental to Mozart research.

The Rolling Stones All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Track

The Rolling Stones All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Track

Comprehensive visual history of the “World’s Greatest Rock & Roll Band” as told through the recording of their monumental catalog, including 29 studio and 24 compilation albums, and more than a hundred singles.

Since 1963, The Rolling Stones have been recording and touring, selling more than 200 million records worldwide. While much is known about this iconic group, few books provide a comprehensive history of their time in the studio. In The Rolling Stones All the Songs, authors Margotin and Guesdon describe the origin of their 340 released songs, details from the recording studio, what instruments were used, and behind-the-scenes stories of the great artists who contributed to their tracks.

Organized chronologically by album, this massive, 704-page hardcover begins with their 1963 eponymous debut album recorded over five days at the Regent Studio in London; through their collaboration with legendary producer Jimmy Miller in the ground-breaking albums from 1968 to 1973; to their later work with Don Was, who has produced every album since Voodoo Lounge. All the Songs is also filled with stories fans treasure, such as how the mobile studio they pioneered was featured in Deep Purple’s classic song “Smoke on the Water” or how Keith Richards used a cassette recording of an acoustic guitar to get the unique riff on “Street Fighting Man.”

Join the Future: Bleep Techno & the Birth of British Bass Music PDF

Join the Future: Bleep Techno & the Birth of British Bass Music PDF

Since the dawn of the 1990s, British dance music has been in thrall to the seductive power of weighty sub-bass. It is a key ingredient in a string of British-pioneered genres, including hardcore, jungle, drum & bass, dubstep, UK garage and grime.

In Join The Future, dance music journalist Matt Anniss traces the roots, origins, development and legacy of the sound that started it all: the first distinctively British form of electronic dance music, bleep techno.

A mixture of social, cultural, musical and oral history, Join The Future reveals the untold stories of bleep’s Yorkshire pioneers and those that came in their wake, moving from electro all-dayers and dub soundsystem clashes of the mid-1980s to the birth of hardcore and jungle in London and the South East.

Along the way, you’ll find first-hand accounts of key clubs and raves, biographies of forgotten and overlooked production pioneers, stories of bleep outposts in Canada and the United States, and the inside story of the early years of one of electronic music’s most iconic labels, Warp Records.
