This Toontrack application is excellent. People who are not fans of country music might ignore this and not give it any thought. But... It worked really well for a power metal song I used it for. The grooves in the midi files can be used for a huge variety of projects, and the drum sounds are excellent. It does include numerous train-style snare beats for Johnny Cash fans and some incredibly potent fills for hard rock, punk, 50s rock n' roll à la the Misfit, or perhaps even rock-a-billy. Give it a try, particularly when it goes on sale; typically, I've seen it fall to $39 around November and after the holiday season.

I have never heard a sampled piano instrument quite like this one. There are several various instruments included, but the grand piano is the most amazing of them all. Even the piano alone would be worth the admittance fee. The level of expertise used in its construction sets it apart from other instruments. The instruments themselves have been expertly restored, exquisitely tuned, brilliantly recorded, blended, and processed into something truly amazing. These instruments have a higher level of musicality. For comparison, the Keyscape piano outperforms my Ivory II American Concert D, Garritan CFX, Alicia's Keys, and Addictive Keys pianos. Simply put, it is more musical, sweeter, and richer. The other instruments are excellent as well, particularly the personalized Rhodes piano. However, I'd have to agree that their grand piano is arguably the best digital grand piano instrument now on the market. It's likely that someone may create one better than this one at some point, but it will be challenging to top this achievement. Well worth the money.I have no idea what mics or locations were used to record this, but it is flawless. all of it. Each instrument has been exquisitely recorded. For instance, the Yamaha C7 piano seems very close and personal because of the manner it was recorded. My other pianos, in contrast, sound a touch distant. Additionally, it is rounder and darker than other pianos. To give it an incredibly smooth tone, I believe they tweaked the hammers and everything.Pure magic is the bespoke Rhodes piano. For hours, I could play this. It sounds extraordinarily alive and lifelike. The other instruments are all fantastic as well. Wow. I'm not really sure what to say.There are several caveats or drawbacks to be aware of. First off, installing this takes a while. I believe it took me around 8 hours, which is a really long time to wait when you're itching to give it a go! Additionally, this is a CPU hog and calls for a powerful machine (much more CPU usage than Ivory or the others). I particularly advise a Mac. It worked when I first tried to use it on a dual-core Windows 10 machine, but it occasionally had pops and glitches that quickly become grating. I then tested it on a speedier Windows PC, but there were still issues. After conducting extensive research, I ultimately came to the conclusion that Macs are better suited for operating real-time instruments like these and purchased a quad-core MacBook Pro. Yes, I did purchase a new computer just to use this software. It was also worthwhile. The Mac was significantly superior; now that I can play it without hiccups, it seems like a genuine instrument.For this, I suggest investing on a nice MIDI keyboard. It didn't feel right when I tried it on an old 88-key keyboard I had lying around. The touch was inappropriate. The Keyscape demonstration videos utilize the more recent Roland A-88, and I've played it on that and it feels fantastic. So make sure your keyboard is high-quality so it feels comfortable. You should be able to feel everything about this top-notch instrument at your fingertips.

This is one of the EZX additions that I believe is well worth buying even if you do have the money for the SDXs, even though I have a sizable collection of SDX expansions and more are on the way. In a very natural way, this kit captures amazingly precise drumming. It has the features of the other kits, so while you might initially believe it's only a close-mic kit, it also comes with overhead mics and a room mic. The room mic is only mono because the space is so small, but that's okay because the overhead provides adequate separation. This kit is really diverse and even comes with brush samples (no swirls). In addition to the enormous range of snares and kicks, it offers a foundational selection of other samples similar to those found in an electronic kit but recorded in a cozy, enclosed space. The dry electronic drum machine sound is recreated here with the adaptability and performability of actual drum sounds, as stated by another reviewer. It works for many other genres, and because the kit is so tight, I believe it also works incredibly well for a tight rock sound, even though it is obviously most suited for electronica or hip hop. The integrated effects are also good, but I wish a lot of them didn't default to "on." Most kit setups require between 250 and 300 MB. My only criticism is that, with such compressed sounds, it would have been good to have had access to 24 bit samples. However, because the EZX libraries are pre-produced (and they are done beautifully), you can only add your own touches and add a compressor so much before the sound starts to degrade. However, it continues to function flawlessly for sends to effects and reverb. Nevertheless, I frequently turn to this library because of the fantastic sound it provides over several of my SDXs. I'm hoping they eventually release a full SDX version. Although the structure of the included midi is a little disorganized and it lacks the variety of the SDXs, the included midi is pretty great. It's terrible that there doesn't appear to be a method to really tell in advance that some EZXs are done in the same way as the SDXs. However, the performance is still fantastic.

This is the first Fruity Loops product that I have actually bought. I've previously utilized demos and borrowed copies, but with FL 10, they've finally fixed issues with earlier releases. It was a significant thing for me because I occasionally like to utilize unusual meters that the old Fruity Loops didn't enable you to shorten measurements. I had to alter the exported.wav files in another software or use common denominators. Additionally, the intonation on the piano roll used to be dubious, but it appears that this has been fixed. It doesn't take long to figure out how to automate the effects, as well as automating volume, speed, etc. The effects sound good.Personally, I believe that most people just need to explore this portion of the Fruity universe. The additions appear pricey and largely seem to feature the ability to record into Fruity Loops, which I think is superfluous. You can just import the Fruity Loops files into another application (I use Reaper) and add whatever additional live layers you desire over top of that.

Let me start by making a P.S.A. You must purchase this product before purchasing any other EZDrummer expansion packs!NOTE: IMPORTANT UPDATE EZ Drummer 2.0 will be made available to the general public by Toontrack in May 2014. From now till then, the download for EZ Drummer 2.0 is FREE with the purchase of EZ Drummer 1.0. Remember that EZD2 is a whole new and distinct program from EZD1, so I would seize the chance since you also receive the default EZD2 kit, which from what I've seen is more like to the ROCK! expansion kit, as well as the stock EZD1 Pop/Rock Kit (which contains some very kit-like elements). Due to the extensive customizing options, EZ Drummer 2.0 is in my opinion a MUST BUY. It also allows you to mix and match kit elements from all expansions. RETURN TO NORMAL PROGRAMMINGThe greatest virtual drum set for the money is undoubtedly EZDrummer if you're a beginner musician looking for one. It's a well-made product that's also quite simple to use and program. You might be tempted to contrast EZDrummer with Superior Drummer 2.0, the same company's bigger and superior sibling. Superior Drummer is better than EZDrummer, but it takes a little longer and is better suited for performers who want a synthetic instrument that sounds as near to real as possible.There are techniques to immediately enhance EZDrummer's stock sound quality. There are several instructional videos on YouTube for this, but the key is to launch your digital audio workstation (such as Pro Tools, Cubase, etc.) and configure EZDrummer for multi-track output. From there, you may adjust EZDrummer's various outputs as though you were in a studio and had access to 7 mics. Seven virtual microphones—Kick Drum, Snare Top and Bottom, Toms, Cymbals, Overhead, and Room—are nothing to laugh at considering that the majority of high-end professional studios use roughly 10 mics to record everything on a drum set. Once each of those outputs is on, you may use individual EQs to significantly alter the tone. The standard kit will sound REALLY lifelike with a little bit of distortion/gain and room reverb added. A trained ear can identify that it's a virtual kit once more instruments have been layered, everything has been blended, and everything is balanced.In terms of the expansions, I strongly advise purchasing the EZX kit associated with the kind of music you want to record if you want to do so. After making the aforementioned modifications, the basic Rock kit is VERY GOOD, but exclusively for Rock. In my opinion, the Rock kit was lacking, especially considering that it is a "tight" kit, despite my best efforts to EQ and adjust the hell out of it to create a beautiful metal tone (3 toms, 3 cymbals, 1 hi-hat, 1 snare, 1 kick).

Without a doubt, the sounds are great! The quality of the kit he made is fantastic, and anything Wooten-related is a work of art. The engineers also performed brilliantly. The dynamic range I can obtain is wonderful.Maybe the name of this item should have been Modern Jazz...I was unable to offer this product five stars because it seems like an entire genre of jazz grooves has been ignored: Big Band, which includes musicians like Louie Bellson, Buddy Rich, and Gene Krupa (although Bellson's technique of double kick drum sections would have gone above and beyond the call of duty). The early jazz and rock-n-roll were invented by big band drummers of the 1930s and 1940s (especially, in recording sessions). Just some signature drum solo "riffs" like Krupa's well-known "Sing, Sing, Sing" portions would have been nice to have in a bank.I truly thought that Toontrack would mimic the big band and swing feels of Levon Helm, Stewart Copeland, and Steve Gadd in the same way that they did in the classic Pop/Rock version. There was nothing related to big bands or swing in the Toontrack catalog. Could someone point me in the direction of such a product if it exists? If there isn't, I ask Toontrack to make one.

Concert Grand Pianos Virtual Instrument - Mac/PC AAX
Standalone

I was only really interested in the Steinway piano out of the three, and it is a very good piano with the recognizable bell-like tone and growling bottom of the Hamburg D. Although I've played the (actual) Bosendorfer quite a bit, I've never been really fond of it. The Bosendorfer sounds like an Imperial Grand.Unfortunately, they still have a long way to go before they can compare it to a genuine piano. The sound still lacks the strength of a true concert grand and wouldn't convince anyone that they are playing a genuine piano, even with top-notch nearfield monitors and a sub. The lack of tactile feedback from the keyboard (on a concert grand, you can feel the vibrations via your fingertips) and the challenge of trying to accomplish with only two speakers what would typically require 1100 pounds of timber and a 9 foot sound board are also contributing factors. I believe they've done pretty much everything the program is capable of; anything more will require better acoustic modeling and probably a lot more speakers.However, at the end of the day, I enjoy playing it. Simply put, the tone is so lovely that it makes up for the lack of presence. The Steinway is extremely sensitive and will severely penalize you for poor dynamics (much more so than the Bosendorfer). Here, fiddling with the dynamics curves didn't really help; you just need to play carefully. Additionally, it sounds pretty dead in the range of C4 to C5. For instance, when playing the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata on my acoustic piano, it is much harder to make the top voice shine out. My own preference would have been to voice it somewhat differently, but every piano is unique. My guitar, a Schimmel concert grand, lacks the booming bass of the Hamburg D but has a considerably brighter midrange.When recorded, it sounds excellent and is a snap compared to the work required to record an acoustic. You could pretty much have everything Synthogy makes for the price of one microphone. The American D sounds great on the recordings, which is strange because the New York Steinways I've played were really subpar, so I'm debating adding it to my collection. I'm hoping the Hamburg models don't follow suit because they reportedly stopped using Bavarian spruce, and in my opinion, those pianos are the best available (Schimmel is the only company still using it at this time, and only in their Konzert series).Running the synth without getting a lot of crackle and pop is quite difficult. Even with an X-Fi THX Platinum sound card, I had to cut my 3.4GHz i5 computer down to the absolute minimum to make it functional. Cantabile dislikes being brought out of standby as well; if you don't restart it, it will undoubtedly start popping and crackling. Hitting a single note with sustain down or up doesn't really make much of a difference, however on a real acoustic it makes a huge impact. The sustain with sympathetic string resonance isn't nearly like a real piano (at least it does on mine). When you hold the pedal down for an extended period of time, it also generates some strange noises. After the notes have rung out, a repetitive wash sound plays continuously until the pedal is released. Although it doesn't affect playing generally, it is weird and needs to be fixed.Overall really pleased with it, and ever since I began playing in the early 1990s, I've been waiting for a playable synth Steinway. Now that we have one, things can only get better.

The DFH extension pack by Toontrack is an excellent improvement to an excellent product. This extension pack is perfect for metal lovers who want a "heavier" sounding kit or extra double bass!After installation, I was up and running and prepared to finish my tunes with some good-sounding drum tracks. There are many different grooves available and a very simple drag and drop structure. even the blastbeat grooves and the backbeat. With these grooves, you may make a song in any genre, including metal, deathcore, grindcore, and more. You can even make your own beats. The excellent drummers Thomas Haake, Daniel Bergstrand, Mattias Eklund, and Fredrik Thordendal contribute grooves to their individual sessions.I quickly finished writing my first song. It only took me a few hours to record some guitar and bass tracks; DFH was then used to fill in the gaps. A decent-sounding demo that I could share with friends only took me five hours to complete (and that includes many guitar/bass takes, practicing, mixing, and other steps).I gave it four stars because, as other reviewers have noted, there are a LOT of cymbals to pick from but only a few drums.It's simple to set up, but you must register the product before using it. It is simple and just takes a minute. You only need to copy a few numbers and provide your contact information to proceed.A fantastic addition at an even better price on Amazon, with Prime members receiving a special shipping discount.

Reason is a crammed with features and sounds, yet simple to use, tool for musicians interested in expanding their arsenal of synth sounds. I've used this application very frequently for recording and demoing, though I've only just begun to scratch the surface of its capabilities. A need, in my opinion, for the majority of musicians of all genres.
A virtual synthesizer is a software application that emulates the sound of a hardware synthesizer. Virtual synthesizers can be used to create any type of sound, from emulating traditional analog synthesizers to creating unique digital sounds. Virtual synthesizers typically have a wide range of controls that allow the user to shape the sound in any way they desire. Many virtual synthesizers also come with a library of preset sounds that can be used as a starting point for creating new sounds.
A digital synthesizer is an electronic musical instrument that uses digital signal processing to generate musical sounds. The signal processing may be implemented using analog electronics, digital electronics, or software. The first digital synthesizers were developed in the 1970s and were used by composers and musicians to create new sounds and to control existing ones.
No, LabVIEW is not hard to learn. In fact, many people find it easier to learn than other programming languages. The drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to create programs without having to write code. And, the built-in tutorials and online community make it easy to get started.
