That's exactly what happened with the producers of that Cher vocal effect. They actually lied about their method to throw people off. |

But you know what guys. I don't always believe what I hear about different producers. I learned over the years that in this industry some people like to keep stuff to themselves. Just because some people say in an interview that they use this and that, it doesn't mean they do. They might not tell you everything, keeping their secret weapon of choice strictly to themselves, and to the closest of production friends. I am not saying he's not telling the truth, but i am saying that some producers get a kick of saying that they accomplish this or that using this or that particular device, when they used something else. They just don't want you to know sometimes. It's being even known that certain producers pull out some racked gear or hide some things they used when people come to interview them in their studio. So Don't always believe what you hear, or read about. Some producers are paid nice cash for mentioning certain products they use, or might not, for advertising purposes. It's like with movie stars and so on. Sometimes they advertise stuff and get money and they don't use the product at all. They might have it at their home but it was given by the company to them. It's a interesting world we live in..
And About software Vs hardware synths thing.. There is ebay after all. Second hand hardware synths aren't that much more expensive than If you go out and get a VSTi synth. But Everyone knows that you can download all the vsti for free, and you just can't really copy a hardware synth, unless you steal it. So you get this guys running 30 vst's synths that would cost more than my hardware synths in the end. The only difference is they got it for free. My respect goes
to they guys who buy the software that they use! |
+1. Do you really think BT uses M-audio speakers to do his final mixes on?
Also, a lot of producers rely very heavily on engineers, so even though the original composition/sketch of the song is done in that producer's software/hardware of choice, chances are, it goes through a hell of lot more before it's ever released. An example of this is Sasha (not to take anything away from him at all) but a lot of support came from Charlie May (spooky), his producer, and without him I'm sure a lot of his tunes over the years would not have sounded the same.
About holding tricks/secrets back? of course. A lot of engineers and producers won't say how they're doing their latest thing for obvious reasons; the moment someone copies their unique sound, the less unique they are. |

he actually does lol.
ive seen a few different clips of his studio. i dont know about his stereo rig, but his surround rig uses BX5As and the M-Audio sub.
He probably got the setup for free though... |

Hahahaha, nice one! for a second there I thought you actually believed that BT produces on M-audio speakers, and that he's not just paid ridiculous amounts of money to pose with them for "interviews". |

Yeah. With more than 4 parts running at once note-stealing due to running out of polyphony is expected.
But everything going out of pitch and out of sync, stuck notes and pops/crackles is just ridiculous. :whip:
I still like it alot though. The sounds it can produce is amazing. |

Sure.
Just don't expect it to work well as a multitimbral synth.
I would wait for a while. Access will probably have a new Virus synth out soon. :rolleyes: |

A lot of people people talk about the Access Virus TI. Awesome synth no doubt but you can't forget other potentially cheaper integrated synths.
Admitedly it's not quite the same but Nord do a fantastic desktop which is solid as you like and capable of some extremely lush sounds. I would even go as far as stating that I prefer it.
Too the original poster, if you have a Nexus and a Vanguard, then I would recomend you a trip to the KVR forums to get some effects plugins. You can get some good ones.
But don't get blinded and go crazy to download as much as you can. Learn to use what you have and then aquire stuff when you need it.
If you find that you are not able to get good results with the Vanguard and Nexus you probably need to look at other aspects such as your mixing ablilities rather than your gear.
Nothing wrong with FL, plenty of Pros use it. Although I did stop using it because I found that it tends to colour the sound slightly (at least in my ears) and Cubase gives me what I'M looking for. But it's a fantastic cost effective way to learn some really good .
A good way of learning stuff is to submit it on the forum. People will tell you what they think you need to do. Some opinions are pretty worthless but some will be bang on the money and you will soon learn who those people are.
Cheers
