i have one... its awesome, I use it mainly for vocals, but works nicely on room mics as you can crank the gain right up and it doesnt clip... so you hear every little sound your mics are picking up. lush optical compression setting on it as well and 20:1 "nuke" limiting as its called on the box hehe

might have to try running some drums and bass from my tracks through it and see how they turn out

and back on topic... you dont need lots of expensive gear to make great sounding music.... but it helps!

No one mentioned sticking a dead mou5e into computer? That's the REAL secret ingredient to Deadmou5 sound. I suggest you find a live mouse, stick it into your computer, wait for it to die, profit. Any tracks on your HD at the time of mou5e's death will instantly turn into an overnight sensation, 100000% hype-proof pure gold.

Every DJ and his/her mother will want to sign you. Richard Branson will adopt a cute young girl to be his daughter, offer her up to you for taking just to have a chance to claim that not only he signed you to Virgin Records but you also are fucking his underage daughter and he's totally cool with it.

You then get to the next level. To 1UP your profit power, ask your fans for a clean pair of socks. Never pay for socks again! Superprofit!

For anyone out there that cares or doesn't know about this Distressor emulator, here is the link, and the best part, ITS FREE.

There are many oldschool emulations on here, and at first I doubted it, till I tested them and, now my tunes are sounding better than ever. Whether or not they are accurate emulations, they still sound great IMO.

Have Fun

Ps- The Distressor emulator is the 2nd to last one on the page.

Nice... damn, Windows only. Good link though.

They don't only look nice in my opinion, they sound fab.

hehehe.... cool Gui's and whatnot, but the problem with Synthedit compiled .dlls is that theyre somewhat flakey, and the code is not at all optimized, the chunky .dll size says it all.

the sound is "okay" to my ears, for what it's worth, but i was already a tad skeptical to see 39 gift plugs "modelled" after these comps. and as i've suspected they were created / compiled in synthedit, one can't really build a fairly precise circuit model in that environment im afraid.

but! the dood means well, and if you find em useful.. then why the hell not!

*** my bad, Antress made these plugins with Synthmaker, formerly synthedit. ... same applies tho.

Posted by deadmau5 on Jul-22-2008 21:27:

but to add some contruction to the comp topic.... Voxengo would come highly reccomended, really great processors (marquis comp is awesome for a standard issue bus comp) and the price is totally right.

Posted by DJ Sound on Jul-22-2008 21:33:

I got a mac so theyre worth shitall to me anyways.. but at least ive learned something about synthedit now =)

Posted by Lucidity on Jul-22-2008 23:23:

Like I said, I didn't know if they are accurate emulations or not, as I do not own the original hardware. But, that being said, whether it was cause I got excited or what, I dunno, but, my kicks and percussion is sounding better than it ever has. As far as a compressor that is not free, my favorite is Fab Filters Pro-C. It has optical, classic, and clean modes, plus sidechain, and sounds great to me. Price is a little hefty for some I would imagine though. But with them Antress plugs, even the eq's sound pretty sweet to my ears. I have heard many great plugs that were made on synthedit. I mean look at Lennar Sylenth1, that synth sounds the business. Anyways, its not always what you pay for, its how you use it.

"Anyways, its not always what you pay for, its how you use it"...oh god...

Well if it sounds good for me then, obviously I and/or the plugins are doing something right? no? And obviously you have not learned anything about synthedit if you have not tried it. Also if you look on the Antress plugins page, it says, at least for some of them, and I quote "* Special Edition is programing with new signal processing algorithms".I don't know why I am even defending the plugins, I was just trying to help people out if they never tried them. And I am not 100% sure, but, I believe with synthedit or synthmaker, you are not limited to their coding, I am pretty sure I read that if you know how to code, the program lets you do so. Like I said not 100% sure about that last comment, I read lots of production material, gets hard to remember it all sometimes.

thank you mau5, for adding you contribution here.

do you have something more to say, for ex. about sampling.. layering.. ?? or your audio process flow..

hm, i think I'm asking to much hehehe
you dont have to be compromised to write, but if you want...

Posted by crazedonee on Jul-28-2008 01:04:

you can get analog /hardware sounds with some vsts but this is for another thread thats been rehashed oh so many times ,but again with some patience and hard work you can get the sound your after in soft synths.

then again sometimes you wont want a hardware sound you may want something futuristic /digital sound like in the matrix or blade movies.
