mint sounding dynamic easy to program
If your looking for that hybird sounding kit but want ease of programming drum labs the one for you you'll need kontakt 5 player to generate the sounds as a standalone or vst but its worth every penny and sounds mint bascically two different versions of the same drum can be layered and manipulated to create a new drum patch this applies to all the drums in the entire kit the great thing is that drum lab is dynamic an versatile and an absolute must if your after that hybrid sound and its idiot proof when it comes to programming and creating your own kits on it. Great vst.....

Great Analog vst multiple synth
This is a great vst and standalone synth it houses a selection of 16 analog synths eg roland super jupiter, memory moog, sequential circuits pro one, korg polysix, oberheim matrix 12 etc. For a single patch it gives 8 variations of that patch patchs can also be morphed to create some weird and wonderful timbres it gives the user the bread and butter encoders you'd use in a analog environment and houses a dedicated arp and chord memory . All the synths sound warm and lush and are easy to program for what it does this multiple synth is mint

Great headphones .These give a true image of your music
For the price these headphones sound brill. Clean highs and mid range with rich undistorted bass. These also feel comfortable to wear for long periods. Id happily master productions with them i don't think you'd get better for the price.

simply the best vst piano ever
This is no word of a lie but this sampled steinway piano sounds as close as you can get to the original. I mean the software is over 5.3gb so the samples are crystal dynamic and pristine. Out off all my synths hardware and vsts this is the most realistic sounding off them all. Shockingly authentic sounding il definitely be using this plugin in future productions. The only pain is getting the software to work its complicated I had to route my daws vst folder to the file related to this plugin and rescan before I could get it to work. Otherwise its worth every penny magnificent.

Great master keyboard
This is a full 88 key controller with a synth action feel with the cosmetics off a piano. You can control your DAW an change patchs with the controls on this it doesn't feel cheap and flimsy also it feels like quality to the touch well worth the money gets the job done.

Sounds awesome
My only criticism with this plugin is that the encoders should have a more clearly visible indicator to show their turned to position and there should be a zoom option to see the encoders close up so one star off otherwise this is a great analog vst synth for programming it sounds unique outstanding. Plus your saving thirty grand on purchasing a original for the same sounds ha!

Nice dynamic active monitors
I heard one or two idiots trying to slate these speakers what a load of bell end cheese. These are great active monitors for the price their dynamic and deliver the sub frequency other 5inch monitors dont deliver a great addition to any studio. The mids and highs on these are more than acceptable and are great for mastering work especially for those who havent a lot of space to spare in their studio. Theres also a bass boost switch at the rear of the control monitor if you need a bit more sub personally I dont use this as i try to monitor flat so giving a true image of the music iam producing. Also I compared the output off these monitors to the image I get on my sennheiser headphones and they sounded the same rich and detailed. I wont be changing these monitors for some time till I decide to upgrade to 8 inch studio active monitors. The elevate 5s are great value for money and deliver.

A great budget Mic
This is a bargin of a condenser microphone its fantom powered and picks up great no distortion and gives crisp recordings. I use this mic in the projects ive worked and am working on, it also has a led to show that its receiving fantom power. Ive heard mics costing four times as much as the C1 not giving such a good result as this one. A great investment sturdy and reliable.

great synth for programming
If you like programming synths youll love this one the juno g offers the user the opportunity to program with 6 encoder knobs for quick adjustments like resonance an cutoff etc or you can get under the hood and mess with all.the parameters that are detailed and comprehensive. It has loads of bread and butter patchs and some great unusual ones these all can be manipulated and saved it also offers 128 note polyphony and is 16 part multitimbral with a dedicated arp chord memory and onboard multi effects processor . The juno g also accepts one of any SRX Expansion boards on offer from roland as well as sample ram expansion making this a truly versitile synth offering many sonic possibilities, this therefore making it a great synth for the money it grows with your pocket lol. The Juno G is a brill bit of kit.

great bread and butter sounds
This plugin is easy to program and gives some warm textures it sounds analogy when correctly programmed theres a hell of a lot of presets on this synth as well, a bit expensive for what it does though £169 grrr for a plugin ive seen better for the price if youve got plenty off wade splash out ha!

12 analog synth emulations over 5000 patchs
This is a steal for anyone wanting the feel and warmth of analog in their projects. There are twelve different analog synths in this package and all can be edited. They sound brilliant. The only drawback is the matrix 12 synth consumes to much cpu power and the jupiter 8 audio drops out occasionally a bug arturia need to fix otherwise you'll be in heaven using this plugin so much variety easy to use and a steal for anyone on a budget. By the way its VST3.

Great sounding synth comes with a separate effects suitr plugin
This is z3ta 2's little brother it comes with a separate effects suite plugin that can be used on vocals etc the synth itself sounds great and you can manipulate patchs to your hearts content great sounding synth and easy to use.

The closest analog waveshaping alternative
I use this synth plugin for analog emulations its the only one of few softsynths thats been able to give me the warmth off analog that so hard to come by the filter is brilliant on this synth and the waveshaping and routing facility on board offers the sculpter the possibilty off endless new patchs. Great plugin for the price worth splashing the cash on.
