Dan Gonzalez, thanks for the impulses!
Just a quick "thank you" and a bit of love for the new Rematrix impulses. When I first heard them they kinda got a "meh" from me, but on second listen I really like them. Just good, useful room ambience that gives a great sense of life and depth to parts that may be a bit sterile. I work in a really dry room so that kind of sound is really useful. If the other forum folks haven't tried 'em out yet, grab a sampled piano or some drums and try them. Don't be afraid to send a pretty good amount of signal through them and add a bit of predelay. It won't give long tail "reverb-y" reverb sounds, just adds life. Nice work Dan! Dean

I second that! I actually kinda like these IRs better than the BreVerb plugins IRs.

I agree, Dan did good. The pop-up instructions were a nice touch, too.
So far my favorite application is using them with electronic instruments taken direct, but I've also put them on acoustic drums. Haven't tried vocals yet.

I agree the .pdf file was handy. Immediately loaded them up in my "users" section and gave them a whirl. Some nice stuff and it's especially nice that stuff like this is coming from Cakewalk staff. Shows some extra interest besides just programming, bug squashing, and coffee mug pic shots.

I've not used Rematrix properly yet, but when I gave it a checking over I was disappointed at the lack of small room reverbs, which I much prefer. So when I saw this yesterday I was pretty happy that this weakness had been addressed.
Looking forward to using them.

Actually that brings up a VERY salient point. People tend to give requests for program features, but now it's open season to request changes for content. More IRs? Fewer? More loops? No loops? Synth presets? ProChannel presets? More amps? No amps? Inquiring minds want to know.

Ahh cool, then my vote is for fewer IRs, No loops, synth or ProChannel presets, and amps. Just focus on programme features.

But do remember that content is developed by different people than those who work on the core program. So content doesn't take away from program development, and vice-versa.

For those of us that struggle with the intricacies of creating sounds from scratch, presets and loops as a starting point are invaluable. One of the values of a convolution reverb is the ability to load an impulse that otherwise might take you (read me), many minutes, or longer to create. I rarely, if ever, use loops but I have no problem with having to download and install hundreds of MB's of them so others can use them in Sonar.

FWIW, I like loops and use them when they're called for. However, I do wish that some of the loops were less "electronic" and more natural takes on non-processed content. For example, steel guitar licks that most people do not have access to or some nice organ patterns. Just sayin'...

I'd prefer more people working on the programme development and less on content. Less content more features. *staff view, cough cough*

Not everyone at Cakewalk is a code cutter. It may not be a good idea to have people who don't code for a living work on program development.

Yeah obviously, I don't want the canteen lady anywhere near Pro Channels. I'm saying employ more code cutters and spend less money on getting features from other employees and 3rd parties. EDIT:As the thread will reveal

One of reasons for doing Brian's Steinberger was to have a "natural" bass sound available. However, you must be reading my mind...not steel guitar, but I'm working on a slide guitar expansion pack.

The two aren't related. I'm going to do content regardless. If I don't do content, it won't free up any resources for program development.

My content didn't cost Cakewalk anything, and Dan did the impulses while he was traveling on behalf of the company anyway.

The link wasn't directed at you, posted as I was saying I would prefer more coders, and it seemed related. See post 7, I haven't complained about Dan's input. I was replying to Craig's comment about general development preferences (post 8)
