The violin is often described as the hardest instrument to learn. It's an instrument of such fine technique and precision that it often requires years of practice before being able to play a song well. If you're looking at this book, you already know that. You know that playing the violin is hard, it's even harder to learn, and you're not discouraged by the idea.Even though the violin can be hard to learn, it's still a beautiful instrument with a sound that mesmerizes most people who hear it for the first time. There's a reason why most orchestra arrangements have a violin as the center of the musical piece; their beautiful sound evokes feelings in even the disinterested listener. The sound is just too beautiful to ignore, which is probably what brought you here.

transient control, oek-style

spiff is our take on transient control. Following the success of our first plug-in, soothe, spiff was designed to fill in the gap of the sound engineer’s toolkit. It has been designed to cut or boost transients with extreme detail. Similar to soothe, spiff analyses the incoming signal and applies the processing only on the parts of the signal that contain the transient information. This keeps the rest of the signal intact and free from side effects.

The wait is over - the follow up of the legendary Gangsta Vocal House Samplepack is finally out.

Filled by Dark and Nasty West Coast Vocals, Gangsta Vocal FX and Melody Loops, Audentity Records is back to give you inspirational material once more again.

Inspired by the sounds in the genres of Low Steppa, Destructo, The Cool Cats and Amine Edge, this G House packs delivers catchy, dirty, pitched and dangerous vocal chants and fx.

This sample pack contains over five hundred individual tool sounds. There are plasma cutters, chainsaws, lawnmowers, hand tools and many, many others. These sounds were recorded in machine shops, garages, sculpture studios and outdoors. The recordings will fit seamlessly into sound design sessions for visual media. Many of the sounds also contain a multitude of potential for rhythmic and tonal applications. The warbling vibrato of a japanese handsaw or the echoing boom of hitting rebar on a large metallic sculpture, for example, are ripe for processing and music making. All sounds were recorded with a stereo pair of Neuman KM184s into a Sound Devices recorder.
