NEW PROTOOLS 8 IS ON ITS WAY!
Amazing new features are coming to the Industry Standard!
- Less Ugly. PT8 looks like it comes from this decade!
- Now only 208 less tracks than our competition – down from 224.
- Pitch stuff up or down. We enabled the other bit of the elastic audio plugin added in 7.4.
- Cut and paste your dud guitar solos more easily with the Dud Solo view.
- Scoring. 1986 – here we come.
- Some virtual instruments although let’s not get carried away here people. Business is business.
- We haven’t compromised on any of the features you expect from Avid. Locked to limited hardware. Real time bounce to disc. Weird RTAS plugin format. Incompatible with most PC hardware.
Avid. Because it’s good to be king.
SPONSORED INTERVIEW : THE NEW TRAGISPHERE
Stooge: We’re here with Eric and Diego at Speculsonics HQ to hear the new Tragisphere synthesiser.
Eric: Hello! I’m Eric and this here is Diego, just one of our international team of sound designers that brought you Tragisphere. We’re proud to present to you now the many man years of work that went into the making of this new exciting synthesis technology!
Diego: Hola.
Stooge: Tragisphere is the first product to use a completely new technique called Psychobabble sampling! Tell us about it Diego!
Diego: I set fire to my gran-mother. She burn.
Eric: That’s right! We just went all out to collect the state of the art in crazy sounds and then we run them through a series of filters and doodads we call the HOT AIR engine. Once you do that you get this amazing sound… (Eric plays some chords).
Stooge: That sounds a lot like an electric piano.
Eric: The warmth and movement in this new technique is amazing. Diego, tell us about the light bulb.
Diego: I shove it up my ass.
Eric: And that creates these tiny little shards of sound that are unlike anything you have heard in a synthesiser before. HOT AIR means we can tweak this sound in just about any way imaginable. Just listen …
Stooge: That kind of sounds like the same electric piano with more reverb.
Eric: This amazing instrument comes with ten times the sounds of our previous Sphere product. Each preset has a picture that instantly cues you in to what you are about to hear.
Diego: This one, I kill with my knife. Slowly. Like the pig. Squeeeee.
Stooge: While I certainly act interested for the pay check I am earning – I don’t understand why every sound ends up like an electric piano.
Eric: Speculsonics is number one in the American market – we work hard on our technology – but we also know our audience. I was sound designer for Roland for 20 years. I did all the sounds on the D50.
Diego: Take out some buildings, two, three, maybe more. Who knows?
Stooge: I get it.
