Put legendary console EQ in your rack with the SSQ. Since the early ’80s, producers have loved the E Type consoles for their huge sound and distinctive character. A big part of the sound came from the E Type channel strip, and you get the same circuits in the module.
A bank of over 400 presets, a collaboration between Hans Zimmer and Howard Scarr. Practically all Zebra sounds in the The Dark Knight as well as The Dark Knight Rises soundtracks are included, plus several more that didn’t quite fit into the scores. The pack also includes Hans’ custom built update from a licensed Zebra2.x to the version you can see in this video, ZebraHZ. Several of the more recent patches make use of the extra features available in ZebraHZ.
LUXE is an effect plugin that compresses and saturates an audio signal in a quite subtle but musical way. It is very useful for making a track “fit in the mix”, and can be used with very good results on a drum bus, a vocal track or anything in between. LUXE is very easy to use – simply choose between the LUXE or FINESSE algorithms, and set the desired processing level. Don’t be fooled by the modest control possibilities – under the hood is a very sophisticated set of parameters that will treat your incoming audio with great care, musicality and warmth. Its only continuous user parameter intelligently controls a set of internal (non-visible) parameters which makes LUXE an easy tool to use for quick results. The alternate FINESSE algorithm offers a slightly different frequency response, and also adds some edge to the internal saturation module.
A creative toolbox of ideas for any writer of pop, rock, scores or commercial soundtracks. Musically and creatively, the Hooks & Chords EZkeys MIDI pack was made with the EZkeys Dream Machine and String Machine instruments in mind. However, seeing as the content was organized in two separate but related sections in each song – one for hooks and one for chords – it works just as well with any of the available sounds in the EZkeys Line. It was inspired by a wide range of material covering anything from pop and rock to movie scores and commercial soundtracks. Essentially, this content is suited for any songwriter looking to get instant inspiration for riffs, leading parts or quick ideas for compositions.
Drum grooves for all walks of modern pop, ideal for any songwriter. Pop as a cultural music phenomenon is broader than ever before. In its vast landscape, the already blurred lines between the styles it encompasses are constantly thrusted to the side to make room for new iterations. As a foundational component in any genre, drums in particular are often in the forefront of this experimental and ever-changing panorama. Sometimes all-digital or all-acoustic, other times hybrids of both or somewhere floating in between. Production values, one may argue. But fact remains, the groove is the heartbeat of any song. To Norman’s point, MIDI offers a bottomless well of creative options. Apply an acoustic kit to it and you get one feel – change it up with an electronic kit or any other sounds at your disposal and you end up with something completely different. Mix, match, change and rearrange – with the limitless framework of EZdrummer 2 or Superior Drummer 3, only your imagination sets the limits.
HarmoniEQ is a parametric, harmonically-enhanced equalizer plug-in for professional music production applications. Harmonic enhancement HarmoniEQ applies to the sound is an inherent element of its overall sonic quality. HarmoniEQ also features dynamic equalization modes that offer you a vast palette of sound-shaping capabilities, suitable for mastering. Since the easiness of tuning was one of our goals when producing this plug-in, HarmoniEQ features a single control surface to control the equalizer curve. HarmoniEQ’s control surface workflow implements our best findings in the area of “user-equalizer” interaction. Just drag the filter control points to the right places. You can enable up to 7 parametric filters, with the filter type freely-selectable from peaking, low-shelf, high-shelf, low-pass, high-pass and notch filter types.
