For those of you that like improved workflows, the new feature within Expression Maps looks really powerful. It allows now for individual articulations attack compensation, so if you are a heavy user of articulations, you don't need separate tracks with the track delay set to -50ms for example. Now the attack compensation is applicable to the individual articulations which to me seems very powerful. https://youtu.be/ak4CRBgFd8Y?si=KZPf7hKYfaFtAi1G

Hey everyone, for ages I am looking for a solution to compensate hearing loss. My hearing loss in my right ear is pretty severe and I always had the idea of coming up with a plugin solution to compensate the hearing loss - at least in the DAW. I never found a good solution and never had time to develop something similar but now HEARS Perfection has been released. When you open the plugin you can start a hearing test and based on the results, it creates a frequency compensation curve for you. It obviously does not replace a full blown scientifically done hearing test but it gets sort of close. If you are interested, I attached the video here. If you are a subscriber of the Plugin Alliance subscription, you get it for free.

Thought I'd see what ChatGPT comes up with as a recommendation for what to include in a Cubase trailer template and how to structure it. I wasn't expecting it to offer to build a template for me though, and provide a PDF walkthrough to accompany it! I shared with it, some of the libraries I was thinking of using and it even came up with a 3-act structure suggesting which sounds to use in each part. The only negative is that the template won't be ready for 24 hours, but I'm really intrigued to see what it comes up with, and how useful it actually is. I can see a scenario in the not too distant future where AI takes care of keeping the template up to date, so when I purchase a new library / plugin the sounds are just available and already incorporated in a version of the template. As much as there is understandable fear around AI taking over the creative process, I do like the idea of it simplifying the more administrative tasks, leaving me more time to actually create.

Hey everyone, so I rarely ever recommend libraries or plugins as I believe the industry has a way of making you feel like you absolutely must always buy whatever it is they made. Of course this is merely marketing and that's ok. But I do think there are things that are good looking into. I just bought Spitfire's "Essentials" version of the AIR Studios reverb and everything I heard in the walkthrough sounded like a real changer in terms of space and lushness, and it's available at only $69 with 67,000 impulse responses. Now bear in mind, disclaimer here, I have not even installed this thing, but generally Spitfire puts out some really incredible stuff out, and for $69 only, a reverb which you can use on ALL of your cinematic projects does sound like a good deal, so, I thought I'd let you all know. It sounds beautiful, it's reasonably priced and is very applicable to all your projects. Dropping link here: https://www.spitfireaudio.com/air-studios-reverb-essentials
