I installed Note Performer 4 just now, after successfully getting in touch with Wallander to update my account contact info. Not sure how soon I'll get a chance to use it, as I am doing many projects in parallel at the moment, but one of my top priority projects will benefit from this new functional...

I used it for the first time yesterday, on Sample Modeling's Flugelhorn (which is anechoic dry). Unlike Little Plate, at least the first choice (of five) in Super Plate is very uncolored, and may well become my favorite for transparent plate reverb. I haven't tried the other four yet, but likely wil...

James, I'll skip this update for now, if it has mouse tracking issues, as that is my biggest complaint about 13.3, and frankly every version of macOS for the past year or so. My system did not alert me to 13.4 and still doesn't show it. Oh, wait, it finally does if I click and expand the revised (an...

I gave up early on Finale last night as I found chord entry too cumbersome compared to Dorico, but once I had finished my lead sheets in the latter and had studied the user manual in depth as well as the long document of v5 changes, I decided I need to use my MusicXML export from Dorico in Finale an...

Cool. It's kind of funny the trajectory things took. I was one of the very earliest adopters of PostScript and in fact was a primary developer of the first consumer/office graphics laser printer, and Mike was in the video wing of that organization, which also was starting to make use of PostScript. ...

Mike, I didn't know that you also know Michael Good. You may know that he and I worked together for several years at Digital Equipment Corporation in Maynard MA and that we were in a Chicago tribute band. Due to my aversion to traffic, I never connected in person with him after we both moved to CA (...

https://www.steinberg.net/dorico/new-features/ Not sure I can justify $100 for the update, as the majority of features are playback-oriented, which is the direction Notion went in right before StudioOne/PreSonus absorbed them. Maybe I am underestimating the depth and importance of some of the less-p...

I just finished authorizing it and checking it out. Nice interface, in line with other SoundToys plugs. I'll compare it to my preferred plate reverb, Eventide UltraVerb, over the next few days.

Cool; I'll check my account later today. Definitely a no-brainer at that price!

Strangely, Best Service now has it listed on pre-order discount, yet I have received no mailing from SoundToys offering the possibility of placing an order.

Even funnier, Plugin Discounts has it listed for a bit less, but also have Little Plate on sale for almost $10 more than Super Plate!

Hmm, I suppose it could be on a brand by brand basis, so maybe Sony makes earpad choices that aren't great for some of us. Not to stay off-topic on the somewhat related pop screen materials, but is the comparison to the original Stedman proscreen or the XL, which is what I have used since the upgrad...

Excellent point! The frequency filtration can be quite different depending on mesh granularity and material! This also applies to vocal pop shields. I will only use Stedman ProScreen XL. There's a bit more involved than with headphones, in that the angle of the grid holes also makes a big difference...

Cool, I'll give SP2016 another try when I get back to production work later this week. I probably switch reverb choices more than anything else! I do remember liking it when I first tried it, but maybe due to the unexciting interface, I sort of forgot about it.

Great to hear (pun intended)!

Good to hear feedback on SplitEQ, as that was one of the additions when I took advantage of the no-brainer $29 upgrade the other day. Funny thing is, I was considering selling my Eventide plug-ins as I mostly just use UltraVerb any more and even that might change once Super Reverb from SoundToys arr...
