a lot of producer are working as beta tester for some audio software companies.
as far as i know deadmau5 has used the fxpansion d-cam synths in more than 50 tracks already. |
I find it hard to believe that a pro producer would use unstable beta software when he could have any hardware/software synth he wanted. unless he was paid to say that he did so, and then used them for one or two minor elements;) |

| Again, he says so in computer music magazine on an interview couple of pages big. |

there are a lot of producers who love cutting edge technology and like to play with the newest toy before everybody else gets his hands on it.
and beta software doesn't mean it's bugy like hell. i never had real problems so far and even better it allows me to tell the devs what features i would like to see which would be near to impossible as a 08/15 user from a product. |

Head over to flux´s webiste, and download their demo plugins package. Will make you forget about waves quickly.
I´m reviewing the package myself! The eq definately sounds better than my copy
of apulsoft eq, and being quite a lot more expensive, it should be.
https://www.fluxhome.com/download
No dongle required for trying the demos! |

Maybe you should check out craigslist or ebay . You could spot a good deal and sell it for about just as much if you won't like it :).
I just ordered myself one of these btw: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LiquidMixB/
20 different EQ emulations and 40 compressor emulations for less than the price of 3 waves plugins. ;) |
Good purchase, I've had one for a few years now and love it. |

future music magazine december 08 issue.. page 63
'There are three new synths from FXpansion's forthcoming D-CAM synth squad collection. They're Cypher, Amber and Strobe and these synths are absolutely ing amazing. All the big pads in I remember and Faxing Berlin were all done in the FXpansion Strobe with just a touch of reverb. I've had these new synths for nearly two years and have been completely taking advantage of them! Sadly they'll be for sale soon' |

Your room is a long rectangle. At the moment, your speakers are facing the shortest length of your room. That is, the distance from the speakers to the wall (that they face) is not as long as if you spun everything around 90 degrees. The problem with this is that the sound from your speakers will bounce off the wall behind you, then clash with the "fresh" sound coming out of your speakers. This causes phasing etc, which is bad. If you spun it around 90 degrees, the sound would have further to travel before it hits a wall. Therefore, by the time it bounces back, it is of much lower volume (better).
There are two separate issues here - positioning and decoupling.
The foam pads ONLY decouple your speakers. Your desk isn't big enough to position those speakers properly. The general rule of thumb is that your speakers should be as far from each other as they are from where you sit. For near field monitors, you aim for about 90-120cm. At the moment, your speakers are about 1.5m apart, but only 40-50cm from you. You need stands.
Put ABSORPTION panels on the walls to the left and right of your chair. When the sound comes out of your speakers, it will bounce off the walls to the left and right of your chair. These reflections will be of very high volume as there won't be a lot of distance between your speakers and the wall - unlike the reflections which come off the BACK wall.
Your monitors are rear ported, meaning all the bass goes out the hole in the back. Hence, you get reflections coming off the wall behind the speakers. With front ported monitors, you don't have this problem. Sometimes it is necessary to put absorption behind the speakers, other times it is not. This is up to you.
Put BASS TRAPS in all corners. In a room this small, the low end will be an absolute mess. After positioning all your gear properly, bass traps are the next most important thing.
Normally you put absorption on the rear wall too, but there seems to be some kind of closet there. If you fill that closet with stuff and leave the doors open, it will have the same effect... But realistically early reflections and bass are more important.
Don't underestimate the importance of all this. $2,000 monitors aren't worth if they aren't positioned properly or the environment has poor acoustics. This is MUCH more important than buying any new synths. |
Thats great info man, i appreciate it
Never knew it was that big of a deal..i will definitely start the process when the money comes in.. |
