He never updated Pristine Space either.
 
Back to the main topic...
+1 to the TAL stuff
+1 to Alchemy Player
+1 to the u-he freebies.
 
Also, if you don't have the full version of Reaktor, there are some good ensembles in the free Player.

I like the Blue Cat freebies.
Nothing spectacular, just good quality bread and butter effects that get used.

Never heard of Loudmax.  Thanks




Loudmax is one I use all the time since Bitflipper pointed us to it way back when. Even I find it difficult to mess things up too much with that one !

The demos of that organ are impressive

I've been trying Voxengo Span tonight.
 
First, is it possible to show the FFTs of several mono tracks at once using the groups? I wasn't able to use track sends to the plugin from other tracks. I couldn't really figure out how to see the FFTs for more tracks than the one I put the VST on.
 
Second, I did the K-14 analysis on one of my mixed tracks and I was surprised by the result.
 
I've been using RME's ITU 1770 / EBU R 128 Meter. I've been using the Integrated loudness meter, volume over a defined time frame. Measures all data to calculate the Loudness Units and the Loudness Range. I've been mixing my tracks so that they end up at 0 for K-14 over the full length of the tune.
 
When I look at the K-14 analysis on the Voxengo, I get nothing close to this. I was looking for some pointers. I wasn't sure if I was using the plugin incorrectly. I suppose the RMS is showing close at -15.

This is such a bitflipper (or one of our other tech guru types) question that i will wait for him to answer instead of fumbling my way around :)

Thanks, Dub. It's no big deal. I have a feeling that using RME's DigiCheck is probably a good plan. Also, the RMS level came close to the Integrated Loudness Meter in DigiCheck, so I'm guessing it's all good.
 
I am mostly curious to see if I can compare FFTs for different tracks using this free plugin. Obviously, I can already see FFTs in Sonar or DigiCheck that are very good an precise - not to mention the Blue Cat VST which is also good.

SPAN was derived from GlissEQ. It's basically the spectral display component of GlissEQ with extra metering bells 'n whistles.
 
However, the developer didn't want to give away the farm with SPAN and intentionally decided to limit its multi-channel capability to just two channels (and to make it difficult to set up). If you have GlissEQ it's great for this. It can show up to 8 tracks and is easy to set up. Not a bad EQ, either. But for a hundred bucks you probably won't go out and buy it just for this feature.
 
Over the years there were so many requests for SPAN to handle multiple channels that Aleksey decided to release a paid version of SPAN that he could soup up. It's called SPAN Plus and goes for 50 bucks. Lacking said fifty bucks, I have not been able to acquire SPAN Plus and haven't even demoed it for fear of getting attached to it.

Thanks for the info, Bit.
